Caedrus Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Greetings, fellow painters, and welcome to the Monthly Painting Challenge for October! Everything you need to know for the Challenge is right HERE. Folks, this month is going to be a very quiet month for me, as life brings me a whole bunch of new excitement. Don't worry, though, I'm not going anywhere, I just know this month will be a huge one for me. This month, as Bob Ross would say, "Let's get a little crazy, here". The Unexpected Challenge! In the month of October, I challenge you to paint a miniature in an unusual manner. An unusual theme, an unusual colour scheme, a crazy hair do, a ton of tattoos ... get a little crazy! This segues nicely into the Wyrd Painting Competition: Rotten Harvest! Have a fantastic (and/or spooky) October, look after yourself and your loved ones, and keep those brushes damp! Caedrus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 As I mentioned, folks, this one is going to be a very quiet month for me, as life-outside-playing will have to come to the front burners for a while. My pledge for this month is going to be starting one of my few remaining Outcasts keywords: Amalgam. Let's start big, with an eBay Rescue Leveticus and Rusty Alyce. Have a great October, my friends! Caedrus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engorn Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 This is my pledge for October. I guess I'll paint anything more. Six miniatures seem to little. @Caedrus, each Viktoria is worth 15SS? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Going to finish English Ivan's crew this month. Also want to finish the last couple pieces for my King's Empire Army. I really want to meet my 2021 goal of having a completely paint Other Side Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Ah, the best month of the year! My local group is having a grow league this month into next so I'm putting my previous plans on hold to finally get into my Guild costume and do some opposition research playing a few games as Sonnia. Meaning I'll need to paint up the Sonnia crew I've had laying around a while. Threw in some Investigatiors and Agent 46 to finish up Lucius' crew, as well as Rollins Black as my Pale Rider. Oh, and finishing up an Effigy that's been half done for far too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja9nge Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 @Caedrus Early finish for October. Winter theme is new to me, and thus fit the challenge. 3 x Hoarcat + Blessed of December ((5 x3) + 8 = 23 SS)). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranglelove Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'll pledge the boxes I didn't get to from last month and the Pandora Halloween crew as a stretch goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 30 soulstones to start the month of October, hoping to do much more this month 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 And 10 more for a grand total of 40 soulstones (more to come!). Love this model! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 50soulstones, keeping up a good pace this month. I also think that this pretty much covers the unexpected challenge as I have never painted granite-like texture before. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Two more Intrepid Effigies (8 soulstoens) and Grave Goo (7ss) that bring me to a total of 65 soulstones this month. May squeeze in some more For some reason my iPhone really struggled taking decent picture of this mini on the standard backdrop I use. Next in line for painting: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six miniatures seem to little. @Caedrus, each Viktoria is worth 15SS? Well, everything is painted. Grave goo: 7SS worth. 3x Moorwraith: 4SS worth each, so 12SS total. 2x Viktoria Chambers: 15SS, so 30SS total. @Caedrus that's a total of 49SS this month. And as an extra, I painted some Infinity models too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engorn Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 @Caedrus a last time addition... I was planning to paint them in November, but I had some extra spare time I wasn't counting with and... Here is the result. 3x Surveyors. 6SS each for a total of 18SS. So, in addition to the 49SS I've already painted, these make a total of 67SS in October. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) @CaedrusNot a super productive month, at least for all things Wyrd. I got distracted by other toys this month. I did manage to meet my pledge. Here's English Ivan (15ss) and Mr Mordrake (6ss) 21ss total for October. I'll strive to be more productive in November as I have a few things I want to finish before the years out.

Popular Post Caedrus Posted November 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Caedrus, reporting in! Hello everyone! In the month of October, I knew I was going to have a busy, busy time of things. I decided to be strategic, and to get the maximum points for the minimum time expenditure. I decide that one of my last eBay rescues, the Amalgam keyword, was due to get painted, in as quick and efficient a manner as possible. I cobbled together some scrap bases, gave them all a quick airbrush blasting, and then set about painting Leveticus (15SS) and Rusty Alyce (9SS). The Leveticus has this spear-thing that just. breaks. constantly. Super annoying. However, working past that, I decided that the painting style for this keyword would be harsh reds (including sculpted hoses full of what-could-be-blood), cool steels and lots of rusts (orange, red, brown) and trash. I decided to get more NMM practice in (which is completely bonkers considering how time-strapped I was), and lots of airbrush-aided OSL. Here they are! Alyce's left eye was trashed (second hand model), and I'm considering an eyepatch. It's probably OK for a gaming piece. I was otherwise happy with the little details (Lev's base freehand, Alyce's pantaloons), and I think the bases work to combine them thematically. I'd love to know what you think! I'll check out everyone's work soon, but until then, keep putting pigment to plastic! Caedrus. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Looking fantastic everyone! I'm late to the upload party, couldn't unearth my lightbox in the wake of Halloween. But here we are: @Caedrus I finished Sonnia and her Purifying Flame for 17ss total, and made a lot of good progress on the rest of the crew. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 September ended on a shit note for me, which made doing any hobby in October hard, but my simple schemes and contrast paint has let me finish a few things, so I guess I've made my 1ss pledge. Painted in October (most recent to oldest) Jorogumo 9ss Wendigo 3ss 2 Komainu 12ss Obsidian Statue 9ss So I guess 33ss total (Again with caveat that I'm planning to batch bases once keywords are done so they at least have that holding them together) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
