Duo tracking/chatting for march

#

@wary slate made a group for it just in case

wary slate
#

The package is labeled "Ghouls and Ghast" but they all look so similar....

twilit sonnet
#

It's one or the other lol

wary slate
#

Well, attempt number one looks terrible. Back to the drawing board!

twilit sonnet
#

I mean... undead by nature generally don't look very good 🙃

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

"The mini needs to look undead, not the painters work"

twilit sonnet
#

I finally got mine in the cleaning phase last night

wary slate
#

Okay, good enough!

wary slate
#

I was aiming to give a sense of this:

twilit sonnet
#

Mines based more off the final fantasy sprite look... hopefully should be done soon

twilit sonnet
#

I botched mine earlier with not noticing having paint on a finger and grabbing it, so I did a quick recovery

twilit sonnet
#

I dunno if I'll be home from family gathering before deadline, but can still post from phone if you'd rather

wary slate
#

The friend that was visiting today just left, so I can post now.

twilit sonnet
#

Awesome. Ty

wary slate
#

No problem - done!

wary slate
#

If you're interested in another duo, I think these are available of the goblins for me:

twilit sonnet
#

I probably check tomorrow, if that's cool?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

Pretty sure I painted 310 already

twilit sonnet
#

Ok I completely spaced on this last night

I’ve finished my goblin:

twilit sonnet
#

Nice. Thas a good reminder my brain was not braining when I renamed the thread lol

wary slate
#

Thanks. Haha - yeah, it gave me a moment's pause and worry I had pulled the wrong mini when I saw it, but close enough!

wary slate
#

How are we doing? Everything still looking good for the end of the month?

twilit sonnet
#

Hoping to be done tonight, well see how long yard work takes.

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah I'll finish and submit them tonight

twilit sonnet
#

Had to break for dinner and stuff. I should be able to finish and submit soon

twilit sonnet
#

If you're up for more goblins we can do may?

wary slate
#

Yes, I still have a bunch left!

#

I've done 309 and now 312. What do you still have to do?

#

Thank you for submitting, by the way!

twilit sonnet
#

No worries 🙂

#

Maybe 308 or 313?

wary slate
#

Either should be good... let me go pull one out

#

Well, just like 312 was on top of your box last month, 313 was the very top figure in my box this time, so maybe that's serendipitous?

twilit sonnet
#

As long as I can find it yes lol

wary slate
#

Well, I've pulled mine out and will plan to get started soon. Let me know once you've found yours!

twilit sonnet
#

Yup got him

twilit sonnet
#

May Duo Goblins

twilit sonnet
#

I got the species on the name change right this time

wary slate
#

Here’s mine for May:

twilit sonnet
#

I'll try to have it done tomorrow. Worst case night of but I'm not worried

wary slate
#

Thanks for the submission!

twilit sonnet
#

Welcome

#

Ya planning on another for June or movin' on? lol

wary slate
#

I’m up for another!

twilit sonnet
#

Same group or?

#

How many goblins left i suppose is the question

wary slate
#

308? 310? 311?

twilit sonnet
#

Shall we go wit hthe traditional method of "whichever is pulled out of the box first" lol

wary slate
wary slate
#

Also, please let me know if you've already painted one of these, and I might do it for my monster if it's off the table for a duo

twilit sonnet
#

I'll check

twilit sonnet
#

308 work?

wary slate
#

Deal! And according to tradition, was in fact the first one I pulled from the box when checking which ones I still had.

wary slate
#

Here’s my Goblin. Are you on track to finish up before the end of the month (keeping in mind the early close time due to end of quarter)?

twilit sonnet
#

I should be good yah, a little more work to do tonight mostly

twilit sonnet
#

It closes at what, 6pm reaper?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

OK so 6 Eastern, even so plenty of time

#

Mostly jus his face and necklace thing to do

I guess the question is: which goblins are left? 🙃

wary slate
# twilit sonnet I guess the question is: which goblins are left? 🙃

I had a look through my "Orcs, Goblins, and Kobolds" box. I have the following goblins to paint still:

  • all the B5 Core Goblins (the 5 that were added very late in the campaign in the separate image)
  • Dungeon Dwellers 306 & 307 (warg riders)
  • Dungeon Dwellers 310 (crossbow)
  • Dungeon Dwellers 311 (axe)
twilit sonnet
#

Well, assuming you still wnana keep in the same duo lol

#

I have to check i thikn i got 310 or 311...

wary slate
#

I'm happy to carry on if you want to!

#

(and we have something that aligns still)

twilit sonnet
#

I'll check my goblin box and see which ones i got, this has worked out well so far

#

Might be tomorrow night tho

wary slate
#

Sounds good - let me know once you've had a chance to look!

twilit sonnet
#

Huh, whatdya know, I do have 310 available

wary slate
#

I'm pleased to share that tradition holds and it was the top mini in my box of Orcs, Goblins, and Kobolds!

twilit sonnet
#

I mean...with how few's left the top of the pile DOES have less contenders lol

wary slate
#

Fair, I guess it is becoming increasingly common, but there are more than just goblins there!

twilit sonnet
#

Though in my piles, orcs goblins and kobold all have their own area. So I guess I'm speaking more to my setup

wary slate
#

Done mine early this month!

twilit sonnet
#

Very early lol. Mine just got a bath recently

wary slate
#

The last couple months have been a real rush at the end of the month, so I'm really trying to knock a bunch out earlier if possible!

twilit sonnet
#

I'm likely gonna finish it Tuesday... we wanna plan August too?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

I think I got one left that's not a rider so I'll check at home

wary slate
#

Sure thing - I’m open to other options too from B5 Core, Dungeon Dwellers, and Fan Favourites. I’ve finished about half of each.

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

Yep

twilit sonnet
#

Just a little more highlighting.

#

I passed out for like 3hrs last night on the couch

wary slate
#

I feel you - Sunday and Monday I fell asleep about 3 hours earlier than I intended.

twilit sonnet
#

311 for august?

twilit sonnet
#

Sealer is drying

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

Was it the first one ya pulled or did we break that streak ? 😆

wary slate
twilit sonnet
wary slate
#

Looks great! Thanks for submitting!

twilit sonnet
#

Thanks...yeah i need to find a better picture solution lol

wary slate
#

Mine is pretty low-tech, but it works all right. Just a piece of cardstock pinned to the wall under a light. I just curl the bottom up to make a flat surface to stand the figure on.

wary slate
#

Here’s my August contribution:

twilit sonnet
#

Mine will be ready on the 27th 🙂

wary slate
#

sounds good!

twilit sonnet
wary slate
#

Very nice! Shall I go ahead and submit?

twilit sonnet
#

Go for it 🙂

wary slate
#

Submitted!

#

If you want to do this again for September, I have the Dungeon Dweller goblin warg riders (306, 307) as well as all 5 from the Core set.

wary slate
#

Any interest in one of these, @twilit sonnet , or are we finished our goblin adventure?

twilit sonnet
#

Lemme check.. It may be a few days though

wary slate
#

sounds good!

twilit sonnet
#

Will be home tonight and should be able to check

twilit sonnet
#

I've not forgotten, just been really bloody tired...I'm 99% surei have at least one of the guys from the green BG though

wary slate
#

That's fine. I've been swamped too. Just let me know when you get a chance so I know what to start working on. If I need to find a new duo, I don't want to leave it too late in the month, but I'd also suspect we have something that overlaps for this month, even if not the goblins any more.

twilit sonnet
#

I'm hoping I'll have enough cleaned up later today that I can access my piles by tomorrow lol

twilit sonnet
#

What do you think aobut the green background, top right with the dagger?

wary slate
#

I think that should work for me! Sounds good!

wary slate
#

Wow - that guy is significantly larger than the ones we had been doing! I didn't realize when it was in pieces

twilit sonnet
#

A little yes lol

#

Duo Goblins

wary slate
#

Here’s mine for September:

twilit sonnet
#

This one had a surprising amount of armor and such tob paint

wary slate
#

Yes - I though he was shirt-less, and painted him as such to start, and then I noticed the buckles and had to re-do the top.

#

Lots of time left, but just remember it's end-of-quarter so it's the early cut-off time.

twilit sonnet
#

Right.

twilit sonnet
#

I should be ready tomorrow

#

If you're up for continuing duo... maybe the goblin with the crazy combover?

wary slate
#

This guy? Sounds good - I should still have him

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah, lemme know for sure and we can go for that 🙂

It's unusual for me not to be holding up the duo into the next month... I'm actually being pro-active 😆

wary slate
#

Okay, I pulled out comb-over goblin and did a quick dry fit. Should be good to go

twilit sonnet
wary slate
#

Submitted September!

twilit sonnet
#

Ty

wary slate
#

Mine's almost done - just finishing up the shield. Things good with you?

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah. Won't be anything fancy but will be fine

wary slate
#

Here’s mine:

twilit sonnet
#

I'll get pics when I'm home

twilit sonnet
#

Closeup when the base dries

twilit sonnet
#

uh...i forget do we have a number for this guy

#

Or is it "generic kickstarter goblin"

#

I'm gonna be afk for an hour, ish, can look for a proper namenumber after that...Unless it's just KS5 Warrior Goblin...

wary slate
#

Yeah, it was added at the last minute and doesn't have a name or number in the KS images

#

I can submit

twilit sonnet
#

Go for it 🙂

#

My resident furry goblin decided it's playtime.

wary slate
#

Looks great! I love the colour choice on the heraldry!

twilit sonnet
#

Ty

#

Honestly the hair and shield was that color cause I had too much purple left on my palette from the wraith lol

wary slate
#

It works!

twilit sonnet
#

I guess the next question is...got ones left for November?

wary slate
#

Something with either temperature or pressure changes are making all my dropper bottles splurt out way too much paint today. I got half a tree painted with the brown that was supposed to just highlight a halfling's hair.

#

I still have the rest of those B5 Core goblins left: musican, two-swords, and mage

twilit sonnet
#

Im 90% mage isn't done yet without looking.

wary slate
#

Sounds good to me!

#

Won't be top of the box any more now with all my B6 stuff just sorted out!

twilit sonnet
#

My b6 is still in the box...I ran inventory but haven't sorted to small boxes yet

wary slate
#

I received and did the part-level inventory last weekend. I was excited.

#

Many of my unpainted boxes that were getting quite low are now suddenly full (or overfull) again now.

twilit sonnet
#

I was only missing one mini. Somewhat ironically, a goblin.

wary slate
#

One of my Hakir statues came with the wrong legs. That was my only definite issue. Some issues with fit, especially the "bulky" minis onto their bases, but I think that's fairly typical.

twilit sonnet
#

I think we expect some minor fitment, just the nature of the material

wary slate
#

Here’s mine for November

twilit sonnet
#

I'll still finish in time, family stuff just was busier than expected...and I rememberd tomorrow is saturday, not sunday lol

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

I'm down to like.. final highlights and eyes so that's not bad at all

#

But yeah I've been busy some major moving stuff at the house so I've not had as much paint time as I'd like

twilit sonnet
#

I should be able to sit down at pc and sumbit in about 30, unless you grab it first

#

I need to actually get dinner lol

wary slate
#

I can do it - go grab your dinner!

#

Looks great!

twilit sonnet
#

Thanks - I wasn't sure how well the purple orb worked with the mixing two metallics....good to see it''s not as bad as i thought lol

#

Next question is I suppose- December?

wary slate
#

So I guess there's the dual-wielding swordsman and the one-man-band bard

twilit sonnet
#

I'll have to check...I'm thinking I've done one of those but not sure which

wary slate
#

Sure, why don't you check. Otherwise, I'd be happy to keep working together moving on to another set of items if you wanted.

twilit sonnet
#

I got a few things to take care of tonight, but hopefully I'll have an ansewr in a day or so

#

With B6 delivered, I got plenty to choose from

wary slate
#

Sure, no rush!

twilit sonnet
#

Looks like the last goblin from that set i have is the one man band

wary slate
#

I'm up for doing that in December if you like

twilit sonnet
#

One final show....before we may need to pick another line lol

twilit sonnet
#

Hows your one-man-band coming?

wary slate
#

Slowly. Work hit me like a load of bricks this month. But I have little ahead of me for the next couple days so will be able to get it out.

twilit sonnet
#

All good. Just checking.

wary slate
#

How about yours?

twilit sonnet
#

Mostly fiddling with some details at this point

twilit sonnet
#

OK mild sense of panic, snapped the drum off...knew I shoulda pinned it

twilit sonnet
twilit sonnet
#

Yeah the drumstick head thing looks like a toasted marshmallow, but eh... lol

wary slate
#

I'm finding this one rough

twilit sonnet
#

Somethin in particular about it or?

wary slate
#

I guess it feels at once busy (with a lot going on) and some of the details are a bit muddy.

#

and lots of layers of things that are hard to reach if you don't do it in the "right" order

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah...I kinda cheated and like between his body and the squeezebox I just painted coal black...

#

did that in a couple spots where you'd REALLY have to look

wary slate
#

oh well, I'll muddle through

#

Thanks for your picture - I'll submit when I'm done

twilit sonnet
#

i -believe- cutoff is earlier tomorrow for EoQ/EoY..

wary slate
#

Are you wanting to keep the duo going, but changing themes I guess now, or do you have other plans?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

OH. Nice.

#

Happy to be wrong there

wary slate
#

Yeah - glad for the extra bit of time - the early end always annoyed me when the "reason" for it was to get set up for the raffle which really isn't an issue any more

#

I know I'll take advantage of it this month!

wary slate
#

Here’s mine - going to submit now!

twilit sonnet
#

Looks good!

wary slate
#

Thanks! I think this brings us to the end of the Bones 5 goblins. Are you wanting to continue with a different set of minis?

twilit sonnet
#

If you're good with our arrangement from this years carrying on, sure. I got a majority of the b6 stuff in too

wary slate
#

Sure. Maybe we think if there's some "group" that we want to paint our way through to reduce the option space, kind of like we did with the goblins. Did you get any of the 6-piece box sets of Orcs, Lizardmen, etc?

twilit sonnet
#

I believe so.

#

I'll double check my inventory when I'm home though

twilit sonnet
#

I guess question is either
Which set or sets do you need most for a game or would least likelihood of being painted outside of a challenge? Cause I'd think either is a good priority then

wary slate
#

I’m fine with any of the B6 orc, lizardmen, bugbears, or gnoll boxes. No pressing needs or high likelihood to need to do out of sequence.

twilit sonnet
#

Just wanted to make sure 🙂 Since personally i'll use some challenges that bring up figures otherwise would be like 10 years out

wary slate
#

Any preference on a box?

wary slate
#

If it's immaterial to you, I'd lean toward either Orcs or Gnolls, but I'd be good with Lizardmen or Bugbears too.

twilit sonnet
#

Sorry for the delay... its been... busy. I'll take a look tonight and let you know

twilit sonnet
#

I'm good to start the year with Ragged Wound Orcs if you are

wary slate
#

Sounds good! Shall we just plan to go left-to right across, twice? (vertical pike, raised diamond-sword, whip, horizontal pike, raised serrated sword, bow)?

twilit sonnet
#

uh....good question lol

#

that would be the most logical order though

wary slate
#

Okay, let's start there, and if you have a strong desire to do something differently as we go, just speak up.

#

Haha - oops, they have names on the back. So, Slasher, Standard Bearer, Enforcer, Hacker, Warboss, Sniper.

wary slate
#

I’ve finished mine up:

twilit sonnet
#

There's a disappointing lack of "orc" reacts

twilit sonnet
#

A genius I ain't. I forgot to cleanup the printer 'strands' on the boots and bracers

wary slate
#

Are you on track to wrap up today (Friday)?

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah should be good

twilit sonnet
#

It'll be a little close as this month has been a bit a train wreck...I was supposed to be on vacation today actually

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

I may be hitting the "instant" paints a bit

#

A few brands i use for those

twilit sonnet
#

Duo Orcs

#

A little more touch up to go...almost

#

It wasn't just me but you can't really see the eyes, right?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

As far as we know these don't have a SKU yet right?

wary slate
#

Not to my knowledge

#

Thanks for submitting!

#

Standard Bearer for February?

twilit sonnet
#

Sure

twilit sonnet
#

I'm not particularly picky on the order 🙃

twilit sonnet
#

How we lookin for this month

wary slate
# twilit sonnet How we lookin for this month

What's that saying about how adulthood is just saying, "things should slow down next week" until you die? Yeah.

I'm behind where I should be as volunteer work kept kicking me down this month, but I'll make sure I push through finishing the Orc. Might be Friday evening though.

twilit sonnet
#

Gotcha

wary slate
#

How are you making out?

twilit sonnet
#

I'll be wrapping up tomorrow too lol...i'm kinda in the same spot as y ou, work...really hasn't gotten any better so that dont help

twilit sonnet
#

Almost...

wary slate
#

Back at mine!

twilit sonnet
twilit sonnet
#

Just in time it looks like 🙂

wary slate

Still counts!

#

Orc with the whip (Enforcer) for March?

twilit sonnet
#

Sure

wary slate
#

Here’s mine!

wary slate
#

Doing okay for the end of the month?

twilit sonnet
#

Ya. Should finish tonight, unless family stuff goes very long in which case it'll be tomorrow and I'll sumbit it then

twilit sonnet
#

Mine's -technically- done just debating if i should bother trying to paint eyes...

wary slate
#

I typically leave them unless they're particularly prominent.

#

"They're shaded by the brim of his helmet!" - me after painting every figure

twilit sonnet
#

...fair.

wary slate
#

You'll still be able to post tonight?

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah.

wary slate
#

I'm working on wrapping up a few of my minis for the month. My strong start fizzled out with a very busy middle and I still have stuff to do tonight now.

twilit sonnet
#

Did some know tweaking, got it on a base, painted base, got dinner while waiting for that to be dry enough to handle, so I'll have a Pic right around 1030 I think

#

Aaah...good luck, it's not fun when life makes the roll harder

twilit sonnet
twilit sonnet
#

I'll be able to submit within the next half hour or so

twilit sonnet
#

OK am i bein' dense or is there no SKU or the box set yt

wary slate
#

Thanks for submitting! Yeah, I think it's just that number in the corner

twilit sonnet
#

April is...the hacker?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

I don't have the box in front of me so I was guessing lol

wary slate
#

Spot on! (With the horizontal spear)

twilit sonnet
#

How's this month looking?

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

We seem to (unintentionally) have very similar colors...or think that orcs dont know many colors besides brown green and gray lol

twilit sonnet
#

Mines almost done, so unless I have a reaction to the stuff for my medication test this evening, I can finish and sumbit. BUT if things go sideways, here's almost

wary slate
#

I was worried I would forget, so I decided to submit with your "almost done" photo. Looks fantastic! If you do do some final clean-up and want to re-submit, feel free to do so again and I'll delete my submission.

wary slate
#

Orc Warboss (upraised sword with shield) for May?

twilit sonnet
#

I sat on the couch for like 5 min and just woke up now... thanks for adding the submission, the changes I had left aren't rough to worry about 🙂

And yeah we can do the warboss for may

wary slate
#

There's another 4 Orcs in the Denizens of the Dungeons box. Do you have that B6 expansion, and if so did you want to continue on to paint them July-October?

twilit sonnet
#

I'll have to check when I'm home, but i -think- i do

wary slate
#

No real rush - just if we did want to use them for it, I'll avoid painting them otherwise

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

It's fun to see interpretations of the stuff...LIke I did the border of the shield as a leather

twilit sonnet
twilit sonnet
#

Archer for June, since he's the last left in the box, presumably

wary slate
#

Looks great! Do you want to submit? Or I can if you'd prefer.

#

Sounds good to me for June - I've just pulled him out

twilit sonnet
#

I just woke up lol. Whatever works, I probably won't be by pc till later today though

#

It'll still be in time. Just not till evening most likely

wary slate
#

No worries - I've gone ahead and submitted because I was just by my computer. Complained at me about the file sizes, so I cropped them both down a bit.

twilit sonnet
#

Thanks
Yeah I 100% forgot to modify mine before putting it here. In fairness it was 230am lol

wary slate
#

Here’s mine for June:

twilit sonnet
#

I tried to find an emote react for orc/ork...the results were comical

twilit sonnet
twilit sonnet
#

I can post 'em after D&D, unless you get around to it first, whichever works

wary slate
#

Submitted!

twilit sonnet
#

Did we ever figure out what next,

wary slate
#

I don't think so. If you'd like to continue as a duo, we could choose another B6 box and do those 6 (Gnolls?). Or there's another 4 Orcs in the Denizen of the Dungeon box of you got that expansion.

twilit sonnet
#

Lemme take a look at which I've done and let ya know

twilit sonnet
#

100% passed out early and woke up at like 4am...i'll check tonight

wary slate
#

No worries. the 6-pack of Gnolls or Bugbears jump to mind, or there's the Orcs in Denizens of the Dungeon. Or I'm flexible for other things.

twilit sonnet
#

I should know tonight

#

Either of those should work, though

#

We passed the session I could have used Gnolls for a few months ago 😆

twilit sonnet
#

I'm -kinda- thinking bugbears, since at the same time could paint -other- ones for the monster category. two birds sorta deal...does that work?

wary slate
#

I'm easy-going. So, 1 bugbear from Bloodcub Bugbears (07203) per month for July through December?

#

Or did you mean you wanted to do some for duo and others in parallel to get them to the table faster?

twilit sonnet
#

Oh it was more of that we can to the set as a july-november (5 right?) and because I'm already painting bugbears, i could paint more for other categories

wary slate
#

Sure, sounds good. Let me know who you want to start with!

twilit sonnet
#

Duo Bugbears

#

What do you think about just starting in order with Burtz?

wary slate
#

Works for me!

twilit sonnet
#

How goes the bugbear

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

also slowly

#

I'm going for a different angle on 'em

#

Greyhawk mentions "Blue-furred bugbears" from The Land of Black Ice

wary slate
#

Ooo! Sounds interesting!

twilit sonnet
#

I thought so. But how to do it...like...dark blue fur might look TOO black

#

but light blue looks cartoony

wary slate
#

Okay, I think I'm done. Or rather, I was, then remembered 2 last things that I forgot while I was doing my first varnish. Touched them up, then I'll do my second varnish and touch up the base.

#

For August, shall we do Korrak who is "next" on the back of the box?

#

Or would you rather hold off on him since he looks like more of the "leader"?

twilit sonnet
#

I'll have to look at the box tomorrow, I need to do some highlights and details and thats it. i -think- i mathed a decent 'blue furred' look without too cartoony

wary slate
#

Looking forward to seeing it!

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

...did I glue his arm wrong

#

Mine's signficnatly more 'closed'

#

I think a mistake may have been made, crap.

#

MISTAKES WERE MADE.

#

I painted Grumph

#

i also starte\d painting the wrong figure for trio this month >.> it's been not great for me

#

Sorry I botched that one...I wont be home for about 3 hours so not likely I'll be able to re-do one

#

I dunno what you wanna do at this point, unless the judges decide to be nice to us

#

I also painted Bhonk

#

Really, i should have caught that sooner

wary slate
#

Who did you paint? You have Grumpf done?

twilit sonnet
#

Just got some minor stuff like eyes yes

#

I brain farted and did Grumph and Bhonk(not from the box)

wary slate
#

I don't have Bhonk so that's not an option.

Why don't you post your photo of Grumpf here and I'll do my best to get my Grumpf done well enough to submit tonight.

#

Then I'll do some touchups on Burtz for August's submission.

#

If I really can't get through Grumpf, I'll submit the separate pictures and throw us on the mercy of the mods 😉

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah all i got left for him is like...Fingernails and eyes

"Duo miscommunication" 🤔

#

I should have a picture by like...8 eastern?

twilit sonnet
#

Which I think the 'official' cutoff is 1am, but usually not -super-stringent

wary slate
#

Okay, I got Grumpf painted up. 4 weeks to do the first one, but given a deadline (and an established paint scheme) I can work faster. I'll just let the paint sit and then slap some varnish on and take a photo shortly.

twilit sonnet
#

Need to seal him myself still

#

With bonk

twilit sonnet
#

It reads more blue in person 🤷‍♂️

#

But I'll get a better Pic a little later

twilit sonnet
#

I need a better lighting setup...

wary slate
#

I like it though! I just did the first varnish on mine - I'll snap a picture and submit shortly

wary slate
#

Submitted!

#

Are we okay to the Burtz for August then? I'll touch up his mane a bit and then he's an August finish.

twilit sonnet
#

Sounds good

#

Yeah sorry about that mix up still

#

Yours came out well for the mix up i did

twilit sonnet
#

I made sure i pulled the right one last night for August lol

wary slate
# twilit sonnet Yours came out well for the mix up i did

Yeah, it always frustrates me that I'm a very slow pianter - I have a big backlog of Reaper plus a bunch of Dwarven Forge terrain that's been unpainted for years. But then when it's near the deadline (swapping over the bugbear, or any month that I'm behind near the end of the month) I can get through a bunch quickly and it's only a small difference in quality.

#

Would be nice to figure out how to work more quickly without the looming deadline.

twilit sonnet
#

The deadline barreling down is a great motivator? haha

#

I'll have to finish early this month, cause i got a convention at the end of it (not reaper con tho)

twilit sonnet
#

Really though,i appreciate you were able to pivot so well with my mistake there.
On the plus side there's a statistically less likely chance for that now lol

wary slate
#

All good! Worked out well that I had actually gotten my other stuff done early for once so I wasn't rushed. And just glad that I shared my picture when I did and not at something like 11pm!

twilit sonnet

Bugbear has gotten his bath

Adventures in IT.

"uh...alienware?"
-mutes phone, slams head on desk-

twilit sonnet
#

I know your bugbear was ready to go, I'm hoping to have mine ready tomorrow, Tues at latest

twilit sonnet
#

I'm trying something different with the fur...last time i used coal black, this time i used nightmare black

twilit sonnet
#

In case I don't get a better Pic tomorrow

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

Can be submitted whenever ready 🙂

twilit sonnet
#

Did you still have some work on your bugbear or are you set?

wary slate
#

I'll grab a fresh picture with my touchups and then I'm happy to submit if you like

wary slate
#

Okay, here’s my photo. You mentioned maybe grabbing another photo, so if you want to do that and submit, go ahead. Otherwise, I’ll submit with your previous one in a few hours.

wary slate
#

Submitted!

wary slate
#

Did you have a preference for who we want to do next? I had previously pulled out Korrak as the next in order on the back of the box, but if we wanted to do more of the "regular weapon" ones first we could grab eith Klogg or Tonk. I'm easy-going.

twilit sonnet
#

I just got back from dragoncon and cannot currently brain...

wary slate
#

No worries - my work is pretty busy this week and I certainly have enough other stuff to work on. I hope you had a good time at DragonCon!

twilit sonnet
#

I'm (partially) recovered...as far as the bugbears, do you have a preference? I'm thinking regular weapon bugbear but no strong preference

twilit sonnet
#

I kinda just picked the one with the pickaxe 🤷‍♂️ that work?

wary slate
#

That works for me. So, Klogg - the one with single-blade pickaxe and the shield down low?

#

(Sorry for the delayed response - been busy lately.)

wary slate
#

Oops, didn't see your thumbs up. Okay, going to try and get back to painting this weekend after not doing any this month. 😬

twilit sonnet
#

I've put down like...2 base colors so far so it's not like I got much done yet either haha

twilit sonnet
#

Final Pic should come tomorrow but just in case

wary slate
#

Nice! Made good progress on mine today.

twilit sonnet
#

Ready when you're ready

wary slate
#

Here’s mine. If you’re free to submit, I’m still painting. Or I can

wary slate
#

Submitted!

#

Triple-pick-axe (Tonk) for October?

twilit sonnet
#

I was thinking the one with the skull staff -might- be a little more thematic for october

wary slate
#

Sure, that works for me!

twilit sonnet
#

At least this one is hard to mix up 😛

twilit sonnet
#

How we looking this month

wary slate
#

Just finishing up. Got it 95%+ of the way there by about Oct 5th and then didn't touch it since. Just touching up eyes and teeth then hit with a bit of varnish.

twilit sonnet
#

I'll have my pic tonight. It's ready I'm just not home yet

wary slate
#

Here’s mine:

#

I’ll be out this evening and am not sure when I’ll be home, so appreciate it if you can submit. Or, I could try to do so from my phone.

twilit sonnet
#

I should be at pc when I'm home from my brother's doing trick or treat with the littles

twilit sonnet
#

I'm curious how many people get the -why- mine's blue lol

wary slate
#

So, on to our last Bugbear?

twilit sonnet
#

Yup

#

Would we wanna do something thematic for December or keep thr bugbears going you think?

wary slate
#

I think this is the last Bugbear in the box - it only had 5 it seems. Unless there's another one hiding somewhere that I'm not considering.

twilit sonnet
#

It is the last one, correct. Is why I asked about planning ahead

wary slate
#

I was just meaning “keep the bugbears going” into December wasn’t really an option if we do the last one in November!

twilit sonnet
#

I dunno about you, but I got plenty more bugbears 😆

#

Outside of that, didn't know if you wanted to do something thematic for Dec or

twilit sonnet
#

I shoulda been a little clearer in that one, my bad.

twilit sonnet
#

I did finish painting -something- already lol

twilit sonnet
#

Well, got my last bugbear in a bath finally

wary slate
#

You’re in the lead then! I’ve been busy and haven’t pulled mine yet

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah it's gonna only get busier too with end of year and holidays

wary slate
#

Wow - speaking of "only get busier", it's the end of November already! I'm a good chunk through my bugbear and should be fine to wrap it up later today. Are you also on track?

#

You also suggested doing something "festive" for December since we're out of Bugbears now. I'll be putting in an order early December, but between international shipping and holiday volume, I wouldn't want to guarantee it's here in time. But I do have some things from last year and the year before:

  • Mouseling Caroler
  • Dabble the Gnome
  • Tinker the Gnome
  • Christmas Rocky (presumably? I had forgotten I had it and would need to search around for it before committing)
  • Hot Rod Santa
  • Santaur Claus
#

Certainly open to other suggestions too!

twilit sonnet
#

Yup I'm planning to have mine done tonight. Mostly some detail work.
Let me see what I have for that list too. 99%sure i have at least one of the gnomes offhand though

wary slate
#

Here’s mine:

#

Feel free to go ahead and submit when you're done. I'll also be working this evening if you need me to do it.

twilit sonnet
#

Not final Pic but just to show she's about ready...I might honestly just take a Pic for sumbit and then tweak later

wary slate
#

I've been known to do that before 😉

twilit sonnet
#

Like..the skin isn't as smooth as i'd like, and I'm not super happy with the eyes, but she DOES look like she's about to clobber something bieng looked down on

wary slate
#

Looks good to me! But I understand the feeling of it not being quite what I'm envisioning.

twilit sonnet
#

So yeah if you dont see a follow-up from me in like..an hour/15 or so with another pic, we can just use that one

twilit sonnet
wary slate
#

Did you want to do either of the holiday Gnomes? I'm certainly open to other options too.

twilit sonnet
#

Gnomes should be good. I'll look for them over the next couple days. My remodeling at the house is FINALLY coming to a close so I'll be more organized soon

twilit sonnet
#

I didn't forget it's bjust been chaos around here

wary slate
#

No worries! Same. Brushes have been dry for about a week and a half. I do have both Dabble and Tinker's packs out though, so I'm flexible whenever you confirm which you have. Or if you have both and want me to choose, I'll decide on one.

twilit sonnet
#

I'm having a bugbear of a time finding them. I did find these 4 though 🤷‍♂️

wary slate
#

Sorry, I don't have any of those 4.

twilit sonnet
#

I'm keepin'' on looking though.Cause I -know- i have more than those, but where...

twilit sonnet
#

I do have an order arriving Monday if I can't find them before that... but I also found:
Santa Claus, winter elf, Christmas hugs, mistletoe goblin, Mrs Claus, ghost of Christmas present, the search continues
..slowyly...

twilit sonnet
#

I find this unnecessarily frustrating because it's -all- somewhere, but where

wary slate
#

Mistletoe Goblin should be in my box that arrived last week (but I haven’t opened yet). Let’s swap over to that!

#

No worries, I get it. I’ve misplaced the benchmark mini I carefully selected having 2 of and set aside back in January.

twilit sonnet
#

Let me know when you get a chance to check. If not, I THINK i have hotrod Santa arriving tomorrow

wary slate
twilit sonnet
#

I kinda wanna kitbash a goblin with a bazooka now.

#

"Your mistletoe gobling is no match for my TOW MISSILE GOBLIN"

twilit sonnet
#

This one right

wary slate
#

Yup!

twilit sonnet
#

Excellent. He'll get a bath tonight.

#

Also...I got the ornament with my order. This was a nice surprise

wary slate
#

Nice! I got a special something in my order too. When they introduced the holiday monster Shroomies, I had posted about how my youngest son just LOVES the original Shroomies and he hoped that they would make the monsters in the small size rather than the large ones they were randomly giving as a bonus. Tasine did a test print of them mini-sized and while they decided that they aren't planning to sell them mini sized, he sent me the test shots!

twilit sonnet
#

That's wonderful tasine did that for you

twilit sonnet
#

Mistletoe goblin is coming along...very thematically

twilit sonnet
#

How's your goblin progress?

wary slate
#

Uhh... WILL get done - but very behind on everything!

#

There's not NO paint on it yet....

#

But also not much

twilit sonnet
#

I think the look is suitably ridiculous

twilit sonnet
twilit sonnet
#

I guess whenever you're done, feel free to submit the pics? Also we wanna plan on for 26?

wary slate
#

Yes, I'll be fine to submit when I'm done.

#

Sure - happy to continue on in 2026! Did we want to choose another of the B6 boxes? Gnolls perhaps? Or Lizardmen?

wary slate
#

Submitted! #・rcl-2025 message

twilit sonnet
#

I still need to check which boxes there i haen't touched yet. been a hectaic start

twilit sonnet
#

I pulled out the lizardmen first, so we can do them?

wary slate
#

Sure. I don't have a scheme established for them, but I can work something out. Upper left to start?

twilit sonnet
#

Yup. To be fair I dont have a scheme -either- but we got the better part of the month to figure it out

wary slate
#

How's yours coming along? I've got the start of something and should be fine to finish up tomorrow or Saturday at the worst.

twilit sonnet
#

I'm pretty much on that same time table

twilit sonnet
#

Duo Lizardmen

twilit sonnet
#

This will not be my best work. But it will be done gotta patch up the holes in my furnace exhaust first cause CO isn't fun.

wary slate
#

Yes! Definitely a priority!

twilit sonnet
#

1:1 diorama work 🙃

wary slate
#

Okay, finished and a first bit of varnish on it. Will throw a second coat on shortly and then can take my photo

twilit sonnet
#

New rules is sumbit them separate if I recall?

#

Good enough

#

I'm honestly doing the varnish after...

wary slate
#

Yes, each submit separately now. I'll probably tag you in my submission though.

twilit sonnet
#

Sounds good.

wary slate
#

Took and posted my photo, only to discover that my lens was dirty after the fact and it's got a washed out, soft focus. Oh well.

#

I hope the furnace repairs went well. We burst two pipes in our kitchen yesterday, so I feel you on the home repair front.

#

Do you have a preference for the next one? I'd kind of like to save the boss for the end. What about the bow wielder on the top right of the box (aka "Skystriker"). I'm flexible though

twilit sonnet
#

I was thinking archer too. A hat tip to the holiday and "cupid"

wary slate
#

Perfect!

wary slate
#

Does your have this piece on the tail here? I can’t make out what it is and I wonder if it’s just a flaw in the printing

twilit sonnet
#

I haven't looked that close yet... but it looks like it'd be some kinda... charm or such hanging there. I'm about to crash for the night so I'll look tomorrow

twilit sonnet
#

100% forgot to check last night.

wary slate
# twilit sonnet 100% forgot to check last night.

No worries. I posted in #・tasines-vault and it seems like it is a flaw. I'll try to get it off, and hopefully it comes off well enough. Worst case, I paint it up anyway, even if the tail does get damaged.

twilit sonnet
#

Mine has the same thing...I'll probably leave it on as a trinket of sorts...but yeah finaly hit the bath last night for the mini

wary slate
#

I carved it off of mine. Certainly didn’t pop off, but I was able to deal with it well enough. A trinket/charm would also work

twilit sonnet
#

...I have a great, terribly stupid idea for a second lizardman this month

wary slate
#

Oh?

twilit sonnet
#

I have an OG bones lizardman archer...and I'm thinking Red/White/Pink/gold...for the holday

wary slate
#

Okay, I’m done mine for the month

wary slate
#

Are you good to wrap up today? Remember it's an especially short month! (I know it caught one of my trio off-guard!)

twilit sonnet
#

Yup. I still should be good. Yesterday got hijacked by being stuck working late

twilit sonnet
#

Official Pic soon(tm)

twilit sonnet
#

I honestly don't know WHY i started with purple but I'm rolling with it.

twilit sonnet
#

Do you have any preference for March?

wary slate
#

I'd be good with anything other than the Tyrant.

twilit sonnet
#

Hrm...Maybe the staff one then?

wary slate
#

Grayscale?

twilit sonnet
#

yah

wary slate
#

sure, that works!

wary slate
#

Done mine!

twilit sonnet
#

I'm still messing with the staff...

#

Mostly is the critter on it living out

wary slate
#

I see your submission - looks good!

#

I'll post mine once I finish this report for work

twilit sonnet
#

Any thoughts on which one for this month?

wary slate
#

Haha - I was just coming to ask the same. Either club or spear is good with me.

twilit sonnet
#

Spear? 🤷‍♂️

wary slate
#

I am similarly easy-going. Spear works. Deal

twilit sonnet
#

Well, that makes two of us easygoing. 🙃

wary slate
#

Wrapped mine up for the month

twilit sonnet
#

I'm amused that neither of us really went for a conventional green look

wary slate
#

I already have all my goblins green, so I wanted something that would be noticeably different. Hence the emerald green

twilit sonnet
#

Im still futzing with it, not worried about getting done in time tho

twilit sonnet
wary slate
#

Okay, I submitted mine too. On to the Clubber for May now?

twilit sonnet
#

that works

twilit sonnet
#

How's may coming along?

wary slate
#

Behind on most minis after I got busy painting Star Wars: Legion, but this guy is almost done and will be wrapping him up today. You?

twilit sonnet
#

Should be wrapping up today

twilit sonnet
#

Ok a little bit left to polish off tomorrow

wary slate
#

Here’s mine - I can plan to submit after dinner

twilit sonnet

I think my dragon copper is toast.

June the big Boi? Lol
