Let's Get Motivated - Januari 2021

[Imrahil]

Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - Januari 2021

This thread is too get us motivated each month into finishing projects that we have on the go, the rules are fairly simple.

At the start of the month post what you intend to try and finish this month, it can be models/terrain/conversions of any game type. No pressure if you don't finish anything this is for motivation nothing else.

Around the middle of the month post your progress, no images please, if you have want to share your progress with images, upload them into your blog and supply a link.

Around the end of the month post your progress, again no images, if you have finished a piece upload the images into your blog and supply a link.

The reason I don't want images in this thread is too get everyone that takes part views in their personal blog where the community can critique, etc.

You don't have a paint blog? well get one started in this forum section.

If you need advice etc. post here and the community will try and answer.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone share their progress

Grrr, Imrahil

Here we go!
I will begin the year with a new project: a 40k terrain.

 

[Imrahil]

For this month I will focus on the following goals:

- finish painting the 4 Orruk Ardboys I started
- finish painting the Orruk Warchanter I started
And
- try to submit a short story to the competition

Grrr, Imrahil

Plan for this month:

• Paint another 10 skink skirmishers
• Finish bases for 20 skinks
• Finish painting and basing General Grievous
• Further projects after that will depend on what I can get primed

This month I want to:
- finish up the cold ones
- assemble some saurus guard i got
- magnetise my carnosaur/troglodon.
- maybe start writing some lore for my seraphon, not sure on that one.

Simple and hopefully achievable.

 

[Andrew Smith]

First things first, I plan to finish my 10 Cold Ones. All I have left is to finish the bases and paint the effing eyes, but I may need to buy a brush with a finer point in order to do that since my small base brush ain’t what she used to be.

I hope to paint my Carnosaur - just the big Dino, not the Oldblood. This’ll be my first time painting a model of this size, so I’m not sure if it’s a reasonable goal, but we shall see.

Finally, I’d like to build as much of my unbuilt models as possible. That’d be 10 Skinks (almost done), a Bastilodon (almost done), 3 Terradon Riders (not started) and 20 Saurus Warriors (not started). If I’m lucky, I’ll have weather good enough for priming, but I live in Canada and it’s January so I won’t hold my breath.

- magnetise my carnosaur/troglodon.

I like to see how you will try to do this. Where do you put the magnets?

Good luck and Keep me posted

Grrr, Imrahil

I am thinking about magnets in the back to swap out the spine. Keeping the duo tail as i like it better, and putting maybe one or two magnets in the head somehow to allow head swaps. If any one has experience with magnetising feel free to comment in my paint blog to keep this thread free of clutter.

- Get the Saurus Body and skink oracle built and painted

I go back to work on monday so i hopefully can keep my pace up.

 

[Killer Angel]

my new terrain has begun!

 

[MackiMac]

My only goal for the remainder of this month will be to paint my Knight Venator

 

[NecridHydra]

This month I want to:

- Finish 9 Cold Ones
- Finish 3 Kroxigors
- Maybe Prime some Skinks and Sallys.

 

[the dark wanderer]

Due to the unit size/hero (Chief) rule changes, I'm painting another Terradon this month. How did you solve the problem guys?

 

[Old One Didums]

Paint and base Chakax
Finish Skink priest with feathered cloak.

 

[Imrahil]

Well, not that much progress so far:

- finish painting the 4 Orruk Ardboys I started, Just mister Ironskull himself is done
- finish painting the Orruk Warchanter I started
And
- try to submit a short story to the competition, some developement here

Grrr, Imrahil

What do you mean?

 

[the dark wanderer]

What do you mean?

Any box contains 3 Terradons which fits perfectly for the unit size (of 3).
But if you want the new unit Terradon Chief (or already build by the old rules as the unit champion) one modell is missing. Buying another box would make 2 out of 3 models useless.

I'd build a Ripper Chief and a second Terradon Chief.
