Welcome to week one of Squadary!

This is the first live post for Squaduary and is when all the work begins. It is time to start snipping out those minis, filing of mould lines and washing that resin. This is your last real chance to change your mind on what you are doing, as I have done. I am jumping from the Warhammer 30K Imperial Fists back to my Warhammer 40K Thousand Sons; The Scarab Occult. As was wisely pointed out to me by Thor I really should get them painted as I need them to run the Grand Coven. Plus I really don’t like to play with my minis unpainted.

I do apologise for this first post being somewhat dry but everyone is just officially (except for you sneaky folks) starting today.

There will be four stages, each taking a week, to this: 1. Assembly: 1st – 7th

Taking them off the sprues or putting them on bases, what ever way you get them ready for paint. 2. Basic painting: 8th – 14th

This is your basic coating and blocking in colours. 3. Clean up and details: 15th – 21st

Cleaning up your colours and picking out all the bits to make the mini stand out. 4. Basing: 22nd – 28th

Adding the base or just painting it up. Week 1 will be a fun bit as the below pledges spring from nothing, we should have some wonderful images next week to compliment folks pledges. Please do check out peoples Twitter and blog links below to see their progress. So far we have 29 people listed below, sure I will have missed someone though.

The starting Squaduary pledges! Marc van Holst from Old School Gaming A squad of 3 Iron Snakes Centurions. The model count is low but the conversions and paint job required are… strenuous… +++ Kirsten Williams from Stepping Between Games I’m in 🙂 A squad of 5 ‘bikers’ for my Sisters army. And of course by bikers I mean Sisters riding giant lizards…

And if I have time, 5 seraphim. +++ Svartmetall from Stepping Between Games Pledging in – a squad of 7 very converted Veteran Plague Marines for my ever-growing Death Guard horde… +++ Mr. Pink from Modern Synthesist It will be something genestealer cult-y. Either a 5-man squad of converted Metamorphs, or 10-man Acolyte or Neophyte squad. +++ Spoticus from Fortress Erioch I am in, look forward to it. A squad of Iron Warriors, and I will go big here – also a squad of Shining Spears! +++ Turkadactyl from Turkacdactyl Is Sigmar okay? Focused on some terrain right so some Sylvaneth will be a nice reprieve. The models are assembled and begging to be painted. +++ Doug from Bare Hand Fishing Very cool, and please count me in. I pledge to paint a squad of Genestealer Cult Neophyte Hybrids that are sitting in the box and begging to serve the Emperador de muchos brazos. +++ Repentant Unforgiven from Dragons Eye Miniatures Will try and get my Haqqislam starter set for Infinity the Game done and email it over. +++ Joe B from Broken Paintbrush Very exciting Rory! I already pledged my Ork Blood Bowl team on Twitter but figured I would make it official on here as well. Thinking about purple theme. +++ D Power from Alone With a Dream Yes please! I think I’ll pledge a 7-man command flokk of my own chapter. Most will be made from the old warriors of chaos and some prospero bits; it’s high time the Sagodjur grew their ranks! +++ Von from Kaptian Von I’m in. Either the Goth gang for Wild in the Streets or my Frostgrave Gnolls, depends how much fur I feel like painting. +++ NafNaf from Objective Secured Cracking idea! I pledge 5 Scourge for La Danse Macabre. They are loooong overdue for a paint job, and I use them almost all the time on the tabletop, so they really do need some paint on them. I skip stage one as they are already converted, so I will crack straight on with the painting. Who knows, I might even manage to get them finished by the end 😀 +++ Thor from Creative Twilight I’ll jump in. I figure I’ll have at least 3 Blood Bowl dudes who won’t be done by the end of this month, so something to work on in February. +++ Pluckylass from Stepping Between Games Tzangors! (More Tzeentch, yah! – Rory)
