I'm done. The story in my head on this one is that a Deathskulls Mek made a tank out of some leftover scrap and stuck a grot in it (see last month's entry). Not to be outdone, a Bad Moons nob saw it and demanded a tank for his favorite hanger-on. Because they are Bad Moon gitz, the nob and the grot bully the meks of each of the clans in camp before every battle, so they've got a rocket up top from the Bad Moons, The Evil Sunz, The Deathskulls, the Goffs, and the Freebooters.
My goal was to paint the remaining three in the squad which I did not achieve, but I am pleased to have finished the one, and next month's theme fits perfectly for one and maybe both of the remaining tanks.
Final Pics:












Hope you like it, and good luck to everyone still finishing their entries!

Some great entries this month! Special mention for Halfling's prism tank, brings back some fond memories of wasting many an hour on C&C.

Here's my entry for this month. Not sure I'm happy with the pics so might try and update them with better ones before deadline time.

*edit* Pictures updated

Some lovely paintjobs showing up now! A really wide variety too, which is always good. Inspirational stuff!

I've managed to get my two models finished too. I'm struggling to get good photos unfortunately, as for some reason everything's showing up orange in my workshop today. But these are the best ones I could manage:









cheers,
Michael

Lots of good stuff.

Normally I just wait for someone to ask for an extension before giving us all an extra day, but honestly, I need it myself this month.



Still have to edge 2 more guys, glue the arms on, do the red edging, plus touchups, decals and basing. Going to aggressively push one guy so I get something across the line, but would like to get the whole squad. But I’m old, and there is only so much time in one session my neck and back allow me to paint.


So everyone can take an extra day. But get cracking. The month is almost over!

Okay, I painted a bunch of things for Comic Fury's 30 Days Of Characters challenge but I didn't take any proof photos for anyone of them

However, I was smart enough to take one before I started this gal:



I'm really proud of how she came out:



Good luck. everyone! There's some really phenomenal entries this month!

And done.







Pretty happy with how she turned out, overall. As always, there's plenty of room for improvement, but I feel the effort shows. And, given the issues printing and painting her, real glad she's finished.

Any chance of a day's extension? I don't think I'll be finished tomorrow...

Grateful for the extra day. I may not need it but I probably will.

Lots of great models coming in just under the wire.

Sorry it was buried in my WIP post, but yes, we have an extra day.

This was a long hard project to get through but got there in the end

Putting a pic up now I've finished painting, just need to glue the stained glass windows in place and take the final pics which will be up tomorrow Good Luck everyone

I was rather optimistically hoping to finish this unit of orcs this month



but only managed to finish the second rank. Here is five of them

Redemptor Kyrinov is complete!

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/813689.page

Going to leave this one open for another day, but get rolling on the next one!

And done!



Yah, did not enjoy these guys. Part of the reason they have been lingering on the bench for like 6 months. Gravis armor is just so chonky. And those gunbelts are not only impractical, but a massive PITA to paint. I got the frag launchers almost complted, but honestly don’t like what they do to the profile, so am leaving them off. Not strictly WYSWYG, but whatever. Form over function.

Still some time left in the day to get your entries in!

My final Pics as promised, this entry ended up being a lot more work than I originally anticipated but very glad I did it and finally finished it. I think it came out really well and I'm very happy with the overall effect and look of the building. The stonework took ages to cut and glue on. The stained glass turned out ok but not as well as id hoped (used contrast paints on a plastic screen from some food packaging coated with podmodge to matt it and let the paint settle.)

My Mordheim Ruined Church Entry with some Bonus LEDs in too


Old Pics


Edited as I felt the original pics oversaturated the variation in colours I'd tried hard to make on the stonework. Replace with some I tired taking some outside with my phone

Slipping in just under the wire once again, I've finished my entry. Here are the final pics of my Dark Angels Redemptor Dreadnought:



I'm happy with it, but I rushed it at the end and it shows. Looking at the pics, I spotted a few mistakes, the most glaring of which was missing a whole purity seal! Too late now, it's almost midnight local time and I'm too tired to retake the pics, so this is how it's going to be for now. At least I got something done, right? Right?

I'm done barring base rims and grass tufts. I'll get pics up later today...

I wont be able to finish the weapon platform so my final entires will be the three Guardians in the pictures already posted in the thread.

Cheers,
Oskar

All kinds amazing stuff coming in! Looking forward to the voting!

Midget Gems: That is gorgeous! Really getting the Mordheim vibes and oh man those leds! Inspiring.



I did not manage to finish my entry this month.
Did not actually even post a proof picture yet, as I was almost sure I was not going to make it. Even with extensions.

In between moving, working on the summer car and trying to decorate the new house (an not having a proper painting desk yet), I did not have that much hobby time / energy.
Regardless I thought about finishing a Yennefer print in a week and a half. However I encountered quite a few difficulties on the model that slowed the painting process so much.
So I instead decided to take my time with it and not stress about rushing it to completion.

For what it's worth, here's my WIP effort regardless. In spoilers, not to confuse with actual entries.

Yeeeah...you could probably pass that off as done and win on the face alone, Ezki.

It’s always fun when people submit WIP shots that would end up on the podium. Like how much better is it going to get?! Of course, when they do finish things that question gets answered.

Thank you kindly. Your words mean a lot.
I wouldn't say it would get any better, but the backside would at least get some color and the raven that snapped off from it's legs would be reattached

Just doing the photographs now, here's my proof pic - three converted female battle wizards (it's become two, as I ran out of time for the third):


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And here's my entry:

They're converted battle wizards (an Amethyst Wizard and a Light Wizard) as GW don't seem to want to release female versions of their Warhammer/AoS wizards, despite them being abundent in the lore. I'm converting a female version of all eight college colours and was going to have the amber wizard painted up with these two as the conversion's already finished, but I was struck by huge amounts of apathy and indecision this month, so started super late and just didn't have time in the end. I'll probably start a project thread (yeah, ANOTHER project thread...) in the near future for the rest.

Wow sounds like you have had a very busy month, understandable that you can't finish a big model in the short time you had. It still looks amazing and well above my painting skill already. I do think with those busts it is best to take your time and enjoy the outcome knowing you did you best.

Thanks for the positive words on mine, I did feel like the photos I put up oversaturated the variation in the stonework I'd tried hard to create so have changed them a little to include photos from outside using my phone and the dark image wasn't showing up on my phone so added a bit more light to that one so hopefully everyone can see it now.

Nice work on your entry CancelledApocalypse 2/3 wizards isn't bad, and they look rather good

Thanks MG! They're a pair of travelling wizards. Maybe they could set up camp in your rather fine ruined church?

Sorry for the delay, go vote!
