THE ENTRANTS (in no particular order)

"Loud" Gunter~ishkatar



So here he stands tall, "Loud" Gunter, veteran and master of battlefront, famouse not only for his incredible strength, courage and booming voice, but for his weapon of type, rarely seen in the arms of Space Marines - his assault cannon "The Emperor's Roar".
This artifact was a gift from Magos Explorator, whos excavation mission were overwhelmed by the hordes of rampaging Orc looters and nearly wiped out, when the rescue team, lead by Sergeant Gunter descended from the orbit right in between, protecting the remaining Techpriests like a living but impenetrable shield.
With cold blood and Bolter fire they held the line, yet the numbers of xenos seemed endless... So not to say about the defenders...
And it was then he saw an assault cannon amongst other artifacts, recovered by the Techpriests, locked and loaded, ready to spill the blood of unclean, and in a moment later the six barrels were risen and the mighty roar flew over the battlefield as the veteran shredded through the greenskin's ranks with unbridled wrath and thousand shells. The battle was over in no time as the hundred of Orcs were ripped apart in a blink of an eye.
"Now it is yours" - the Magus said as the echoes of cannon fire died away "The spirit of the weapon chosen you. THE Emperor himself chosen you".
So the artifact got it's name. And it is interesting to note, that no one of the Expedition can recall the cannon being loaded as it was recovered in unusable condition.

Fighting against the initial Necron threat and repelling the forces of the re-awakened C'Tan, Vargos leads the charge with his fellow Deathwatch brothers against the Necrons once more. A squad of loyal terminators from variosus astartes is no small force to be reckoned with!"

Chaplain~theQuanz



"Screaming for Purity, Tuir-ak fights valiantly for the Sons of Orar. He gained the nick name "Turok" when pitted against a Tyranid Carnifex and slaughtered the beast, bringing the warbeasts head back to the Sons camp late in the night. None in the chapter doubt the tenacity of 'Turok', for he is the stuff of legends."

Segway Rough Rider~Flying Pooo



Xanthe Tirus (Segway Rough Rider)
Xanthe Tirus is the oldest and most experienced sergeant within the Macragge PDF. He trains all the new recruits. With his age he has lost most of the mobility in his legs so he gets around on his custom made segway. Anyone that laughs at him about his feeble transport is quickly silenced with one shot of his lasgun.” Segways are cool. OK!” his deafening voice proclaims. He LOVES his segway and has never left it for over a decade. He sleeps, showers, Disco Dances, does the laundry, makes sandwiches and does basically everything with it.

Striking Scorpion Exarch~tdwg83




Petr~Rawson



Tundra Cadian~bebopdrums2424



Captain Lorenzo Scipion~Capitansolstice




The Armour of the Gifted, a story. (edited for spelling by UnluckyGuardsman)
Scipion clenched his bolter as the command squad disembarked from the soft red glow of the Razorback APC. Scipion was nervous. He had never fought the Dark Eldar Kabals before, and he didn't know what the combat would be like. He jumped out of the transport and started searching for the enemy, As he cocked his bolter, he heard a cry from the vox, It was his battle brother lorenzo. Scipion sprinted over the rough terrain of the ruined city to his brother. he skidded to a halt where Lorenzo was, but saw nothing but a shadow. Scipion looked around, and suddenly a bright green glow engulfed him as a plasma warhead detonated. Scipion was knocked to the ground, and disoriented. when scipion cleared his vision, a glowing green shadow was over him, speaking in a strange language, and the next thing he knew, there were vines wrapped around him. They crushed through the shield of his iron halo, and burnt right into the turquoise sheen of his ceramite armor. He struggled. muttering an oath, he pulled a frag grenade out of his belt and pulled the pin with his last ounces of strength . The vines, and his attacker were decimated. Scipion never had his armor repaired, and he still wears the scars proudly to this day.

Kommandos~Sentinel



Da Red Buhrayz

“Quiet down you lot,” rasped Gursnik. “We’z been sneakin’ real good so far; doze humies won’t know what hit ‘em. Stick wiv da plan: I shoot first cuz I’z got da big gun. Dat’ll scare ‘em good, and you run in ‘fore dey tell da uvvers! Dakka dakka dakka!” His shoota rattles with excitement as he fells the first guardsmen from behind the bush. The other kommandos quickly dispatch the rest of the guards around the facility, plant the explosives, and they return to the boss from yet another “suksessful mishun”.

Da Red Buhrays are a small group within Snikrot's Red Skull Kommandos. Rather than painting their heads red, they adopted the imperial practice of wearing a colored beret to indicate their status. This particular team is lead by Gursnik, a brutal weapon specialist. He prefers to use his personal favorite big shoota, "Da Mulcha". It is fully kitted out with all the latest Ork gubbinz, as Gursnik is a firm believer that more attachments open up more tactical options.

Man, all the models look great, hard to decide who to pick!

^Pick me

Hey, welcome to Dakka, and while I certainly appreciate the complement and the vote, I wish it weren't at the expense of CapitanSolstice. I think we try to keep a pretty cordial atmosphere around here, especially in the P&M section, so please try to keep that in mind in the future.

Hhahahaha thanks Zefig, and eyebone, I was totally just kidding. LOL lighten up

The Saint would have had my vote if it was on coolness.

Hey, I'LL totally take your vote for coolness There's a link to voting on modelling at the top of the OP though.

im suprised i actually got a few vote.. especialy with bepop and zefig on here!

Same

Now this starts to look representative... This is really a had choise! BeBop's masterful painting techniques at one corner and Ishkatars obsession with distinguishing all the tiny details at another.. Unable to compare in any constructive way if you ask me.. just a matter of personal priorities

it is EXTREAMLY HARD!! i love bepops painting, its phenominal, the saint is another one i was looking at, another (which i might be a bit biased for) is rawsons which has grown on me throughout the competition/his blog, nice work to all, but i think that i shall pick bebops guardsmen in the fact that most of these models are so fantasticly converted, and his is just a plain ol' guardsmen. turning a rather boring cadian into an amazing looking cold damaged soldier is quite the feat so, you go get 'em mr.bop!

Agreed RW, the Magneus bunch is something to note too, but, as they will definatly look great from the table, when I zoom in on the fotos only the two I mentioned remain flawless. Don't know If I expressed myself correctly though.

I'm trying to sneak up for the 3rd place

We have a winner folks! There is a percentage tie between LDP and Bebop, but Bebop does have the larger amount of votes so he is our winner!

Congrats!

Congrats bebop! That was a really close race, haha.

Thanks everyone. Though i believe Ishkatars mini to be the clear winner.

Congrats bebop!

I voted for flying poo because of the great base and unique idea of putting an IG model on a Segway. Congrats on winning 4th against some stiff competition.

Haha well done Bebop! Let me say your model definately deserved the win! The blending was superb, i'm glad to have been compared to someone like you hahaha, to me, that's a personal victory. Congratulations. (:

yaay bebop a well diserved victory
