Let's Get Motivated - June 2023

Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - June 2023

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, !mrahil

 

This month is simple again.
Finish Troglodon
Finish another 15 poxwalkers
Paint Typhus and Biologus
Strip paint from half done stegadon
Start building new saurus warriors
Re-clean and rebase my old DG kill team for new army

 

Complete my 10 Saurus warriors.
Finish the throne of my Slann

I have 5 warriors basically done and have painted the first layer of the stone work of the throne. I would love to get these done this month but we'll see

 

All that in a month!

 

It looks like a lot, but if you think about it, then rebasing few minis will take about hour, stripping paint will take about half a hour. First 15 poxwalkers took me 5 hours and this second batch I already started working on.
All and all... Basically list is to finish what is in progress, paint three minis and glue something.

 

That's fast. I can't even finish a single model in that time!

 

This month’s work will be:

Ten-Zlati (3D Print and convert)
Saurus Old Blood On Cold One
Lord Kroak
3 jungle swarm bases
Astragoth
1 Apocalypse Battleship
1 Escort carrier
Stegadon Old School - Howdah and crew remaining
12 cold one cavalry
Tuskgor Chariot crew

Completed models
Tehenhauin
Slann OPR
Strigoi
3 Cairn Wraiths (extra)
2 Tomb Banshees (extra)
Scar Vet BSB
Saurus Old Blood On foot
39 ghouls
Saurus Warriors Champion

 

A slightly less heavy month for me this time:

Assemble:
2 Models of the Month: -
1 Ephrael Stern and Kygnail: –
3 Sisters of Battle: – Completed!
1 Gutrippa Boss: - Completed!

Paint:
Gnarlspirit Pack Warband: -
5 Models of the Month: -
5 Sisters of Battle: –
1 Gutrippa Boss: -

Base:
5 Models of the Month: –
Gnarlspirit Pack: –
1 Gutrippa Boss: –

 

I'll probably start these in the latter part of the month, but im just writing it down now so that I won't forget:

• Finish converting my original Saurus warriors
• Brainstorm on color schemes for my army
• Fight the urge to come out of the store with more lizadrs than the free Saurus
• Maby finally order the magnets of appropriate size for my ideas
• Assemble some underworlds warbands or make some terrain if I have the time

 

That is probably Death Guard thing The more sloppy paintjob is, the more realistic it is.

 

Third of the month progress report

Finish Troglodon - paint scheme decided, now to paint it
Finish another 15 poxwalkers
Paint Typhus and Biologus
Strip paint from half done stegadon -couldn't attend modeller's club this week, so it is still rotting there
Start building new saurus warriors - so far clipped from sprue
Re-clean and rebase my old DG kill team for new army

 

Second third of the month progress report

Finish Troglodon - just need to paint priest rider
Finish another 15 poxwalkers
Paint Typhus and Biologus
Strip paint from half done stegadon -first pass done, need second bath to get all the paint from crevices
Start building new saurus warriors - so far clipped from sprue
Re-clean and rebase my old DG kill team - done and preshaded

 

I think I'm passing on this month, it's not a month for AoS. My head is more into MESBG and then even sitting down to paint has been a challenge in itself. I did make a little process on the throne but that's all.

If I get anything more painted this month i consider that a success

 

Well let I post mine as well... at the end of the month:

- My main goal was to finish my project for 2nd Slannhood ascension
- put work in on my Moria scenery

Grrr, !mrahil

 

I'd like to expand my goals:

- My main goal was to finish my project for 2nd Slannhood ascension
- put work in on my Moria scenery

- enter a model in the current Feathered Serpent painting contest
- prepare a Saurus Warrior mini of the month to enter in a GW-store paint contest

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Is that a thing?

 

At one of the stores I have visited they organize one. Others don't do it. So it is a local thing.

Grrr, !mrahil
