So after failing miserably in the Decembruary Painting Challenge, I decided that I’d try again this month with the Stepping Between Games’ Squaduary challenge and work on some more plaguebearers.
In short, the idea with Squaduary is to assemble and paint a game-legal squad of models during the month of February. I put seven daemons put together on February 1st – 2nd and have done a little work on them since then. I still have to put together three more, though I’ve gotten the parts off the sprue and cleaned them up, so I’ll do that this weekend as well as some painting.
Azazel’s painting challenge for February is “Finish A Neglected Model” month. The idea is to finish one or more models you started at least six months ago but never finished. Below is a small sample from Ye Olde Abandoned Legions, all started, heck, never mind six months ago … it was probably years ago.
My goal to complete Azazel’s challenge will be to complete any one of these wretched models. If I complete more than one then that is bonus points and glory.
I wanted to participate in Alex’s Fembruary Painting Challenge but unfortunately I don’t really have any miniatures of women I want to paint right now. I was going to buy some aspect warriors for the purpose, but was put off because I don’t favor resin.
I considered re-entering Becky the Bloater and saying I had given her a woman’s name so that surely was good enough, but I decided maybe I wouldn’t go that route, partly (mostly, actually) because I’m not sure with the other commitments I have, both painting and otherwise, I would be able to finish the stupid daemon engine in time and would thus be forced to eat psyber-crow not just once, but twice!
So for next time I hope to have some progress to show with this month’s challenges and perhaps some more non-challenge stuff as well.

Nice set of models there. The one in the middle is very detailed, the rest look like they would be pretty fun to paint.

I’ve been trying some different things on that marine in the last couple of days. He is a sort of test guy and I have to say so far I’m not liking where he’s headed. I’m also working on one of the cultists to make sure I at least complete the challenge. Got the three plaguebearers put together today for the other challenge, so that is good too.

Ah, is the one in the middle a Chaos Space Marine? I’ve been thinking of picking up a few Chaos Cultists for Necromunda, but I don’t know if they are the same size.

Yes, he is a Chaos Space Marine from the old Dark Vengeance boxed set. Technically he was a Chosen. The two identical guys with rifles next to him are cultists from the same set. As is usual with such sets they give you 20 cultists but they are two sets of ten sculpts.

Plaguebearers for Squaduary? What a ridiculous concept!

Yeah, I know what you mean, what a crazy idea right? 🙂
The only thing that would be even crazier if I happened to have some metal ones kicking around and…

Good luck Ann. Will we see a completed Becky soon though?

Thank you. I’m going to keep working on her, planning on working on the flesh some this weekend hopefully. I’ve done quite a lot of work on her so far and I’d hate for Becky to slip into the Abandoned Legions.

Good luck with both challenges! The Squaduary challenge fills me with dread at the thought. I struggle to stick to one thing long enough!

Thank you. I have that problem as well. I attempt to combat it by giving in completely and just working on multiple things at once and hopefully something will get done eventually.
