Anyone make any yet? I'd like to finish up my Khorne adversaries for Warhammer Quest this month.

During December the local GW store decided that they would hold their annual Legion of Legend painting competition online.

In January we have to show a unit and a leader. So for this month I’ll have to put the finishing touches to 11 of my recently completed 27 figures.

In February we have to show 2 open entries -  so that will be finishing 2 of the November vehicles and adding crew figures (although I may try to finish the final tractor).

In early March all have to be shown on a 1’x1’ display board – which I’ll be doing during Jan & Feb.

Ta da ... and too bad Midaski won't be around to see it. :icon_wink: :icon_lol:

I need to get back into painting.  Haven't touched a brush since August...  So my January goal is a mini. One. Probably a 3d print (part of the reason I havemt been painting) I found.  Its a EnD/Mordeim villager

My painting goal is finishing my Khoragash monster, getting a bit more work done on New!Gotrek, and maybe finishing two sentinels.

Almost completed my 6 mounted crossbowmen, and feeling like this can be completed by the end of January especially with two weeknds to go!

Nice! I painted four banshees that had been on the shelf for a while, and have now started in on my Khorne adversaries for Quest.

How's everyone doing for January :icon_question:

I finished my 6 mounted crossbows, although still need to decide on a basing scheme, but for all intents and purposes, after all these years, these dudes are finally completed.

For February ... I've started finishing 20 skaven with handweapons, 1 rat ogre, 1 skaven leader, although not sure how that will all get done.  Will most likely focus on finishing my metal mercenary commander for leading my 5 Order of the Gold Lion knights, a mounted warrior priest, and my 6 Knights of the Aver River.  Need to go through my 28mm Perry painted WotRs figures to see fi there is any finishing touches to be done.  And waiting for the appropriate moment to prime 132 of my 28mm Perry WotRs figures that I constructed last year.

A Tally for January Goals

Sharkbelly ... finish Khorne adversaries for Warhammer Quest, 4 banshees
JAK ... finishing touches on 11 recently painted figures for Legion of Legend painting competition
GP ... 6 Tilean mounted crossbowmen
Borderguy ... 1 mini (probably a 3d print of EnD/Mordheim villager)
Gankom ... finishing Khoragash monster, get more done on New!Gotrek, maybe finish 2 sentinels

Start of February Tally

JAK ... finish 2 vehicles and adding crew figures, maybe final tractor
GP ... finish metal mercenary commander, finish mounted warrior priest, finish 6 Knights of the Aver River, review all painted WotRs figures for finishing touches, prime 132 WotRs figures

Head Start on March Tally

I am going to try painting at least one model this month. I have started stripping the paint off some WW era Sikh (which is a Godawful chore) and will try to reconstitute one as soon as I find appropriate paints.

On top of that, I will paint one the troops that I made using the recent Frostgrave Demon kits and Fireforge Games' Northmen cavalry and infantry kits by ways of a test model.

Ha!  I continued painting dark yellow on skaven with handweapons.  up to 15 now, plus a leader dude, and a rat ogre.  Didn't touch the goals written above yet.

Just reread my goal for February,  I've listed quite a bit.  Started in on the mercenary general, have decided what I'll be doing for colors on the mounted warrior priest, and ... been working on my skaven although this hadn't been a goal for the month.

This is that dreaded 28 days in a month and only 5 days to go! :icon_wink:

Been getting closer, although even though I am on vacation, it could be close.

Well, I stripped ALL of my Sikh rather than one (probably got some lung damage in the process) and painted but not based the slave overseer. Good to know I still do everything last minute and I still can't paint.

February

I’ve finished the 2 vehicles and their crew.

March

1’x1’ display board.  Bring Apatoa Pahure Pioneer Corps thread up to date.


It seems that I’ve not posted on this thread since October but in addition to the competition entries I have been working in the background on the other parts. Most need a little work but are close to being finished and photographed. (no progress on the final tractor though)

Worked again on my 6 Knights of the Aver River yesterday and this morning, but there's more to go!

Will probably be moving this goal into March. :icon_neutral:

Came close to getting the Aver River Knights done, and did get some painting done on the warrior priest and mercenary general.  Will focus on completing these first, and then see how I am feeling about whatever next.
