Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - December 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
I will start first: - finish painting the Easterlings warband for Battle Companies - build and paint 4 possible reinforcements for the Easterlings warband - finish up the hero trackers for MESBG - playing a game of Battle Companies with my brother and if there is some more hobby time left this month - painting up my Gondor Scenery Grrr, Imrahil
I'm gonna try to turn over a new leaf here: 1. Finish basing my Hierotitan 2. Decide on a theme for painting my Chaos Dwarfs (will be the first time I do an army from scratch and, honestly, will be the most painting I have EVER done and is a bit daunting). 3. Paint my two Deathshrieker rockets. 4. Build my Magma Cannon. 5. Give out a precision list of presents to my friends and family for both birthday and Christmas, citing exactly what reinforcements my Chaos Dwarfs need as well as the painting supplies I need to eventually get through painting all of them. Hoping to get a major chunk of the troops that I want through this!
For this month I better start with my patent pending roulette: 1 – Classic Queek Headtaker 2 – Merry 3 - Classic Wight Standard Bearer 4 – Pippin 5 - A Sister of Battle (painted as a random Order) 6 - Flói Stonehand And the dice say...Classic Wight Standard Bearer (the first model I ever owned!) Assemble: Model of the Month: – 5 Hexwraiths – Paint: Taddeus the Purifier - 8 Classic Dwarf Thunderers - Model of the Month: – Red Gobbo on Bounca – Necromancer - Classic Wight Standard Bearer - Base: 5 Models of the Month – Red Gobbo on Bounca -
Going model by model might keep you in check of sanity Good luck, I really like how you picked up painting this year Grrr, Imrahil
I have to add a goal to this month. I have spontaneously decided to enter a Christmas painting competition over on Instagram - finish painting the Easterlings warband for Battle Companies - build and paint 4 possible reinforcements for the Easterlings warband - finish up the hero trackers for MESBG - playing a game of Battle Companies with my brother - Finish and enter a model for an Instagram painting competition and if there is some more hobby time left this month - painting up my Gondor Scenery Grrr, Imrahil
I don't really know what to do for this month, I'll probably just push forward some models and maby assemble some. I also should get to working on my blogs as I want to also make a blog that relates to all of my painted models, not strictly seraphon (of course the lizards will show their faces as they're still my main focus)
My goal is to just keep plugging away at painting these Temple Guard. I might be strapped for time this month though, looks like I'm going to have to move house unfortunately.
It's been some time since I have posted in the Let's Get Motivated threads! I went ahead and updated my list of models painted so far this year... and I am waaaay down from last year! I am at 86 models completed right now, and basically half of that is the Deathwatch force I have been working on since the late Spring. Pretty far off the mark of completing 30 models every month , here's hoping I can get a bit closer to 100 models complete before the end of the year? For today at least I finished my fifth Heavy Intercessor (Brother Anslem of the Black Templars) and hope to paint some more marines before the end of the month. I have Reivers, Lieutenants, and maybe some Eliminator snipers all assembled and primed on my desk ready to go. Hope everyone gets plenty of time to paint between now and New Years!
At least the first goal is already done - finish painting the Easterlings warband for Battle Companies - build and paint 4 possible reinforcements for the Easterlings warband - finish up the hero trackers for MESBG - playing a game of Battle Companies with my brother - Finish and enter a model for an Instagram painting competition and if there is some more hobby time left this month - painting up my Gondor Scenery Grrr, Imrahil
Forgot to post until now. My goals for this month are: - Finish painting 8 Saurus Warriors (nearly done) - Clean and spray a big pile of jungle ruins resin terrain - Get started on Kroak - at least the floating stone around the seat
next one: - finish painting the Easterlings warband for Battle Companies - build and paint 4 possible reinforcements for the Easterlings warband - finish up the hero trackers for MESBG - playing a game of Battle Companies with my brother - Finish and enter a model for an Instagram painting competition and if there is some more hobby time left this month - painting up my Gondor Scenery Grrr, Imrahil
Entering the accountability temple here!... I've already completed quite a large amount of my December list and needed to take a break for the second week XD 1. Compete in a tournament first time - done. I went 1-4. I beat a mirror Seraphon army, every other game was the first time to play that army, so far I've only played KO. Needless to say I learned some nice lessons in a baptism of fire because I have no idea what any other army does 2. Assemble x20 Saurus Warriors and paint to battle ready standard - done 3. Repaint x5 Saurus Guard and Bastildon bases to match the rest of the tournament army - done 4. Assemble and paint Celestant Prime to battle ready standard - done 5. Paint Realmshaper Engine to battle ready standard - done 6. I'd like to finally finish my Trogolodon, which I've spent an inordinate amount of time on. I really hope everyone will like him! 7. Paint Lord Kroak to battle ready standard at least - might just go straight to my best possible standard assemble Gotrek ( allies!) 8. Assemble Stormdrake Dragons (allies!) Best of luck everyone for this month!
