Hopefully this means the updated Legion Crusade List should be out in a month or two, since it was mentioned as being in the works when this book was announced at the Weekender earlier this year.

Presenting the first Warhammer community painting competition.
We've been so impressed over the last few months with the miniatures that you guys have been sharing with us that we've decided to run a painting competition.

It’s easy to enter: paint the model, post a picture in the comments on this post, and at the end of the month our favourite wins a prize.

You have all month to get your entries in, so take your time, and make sure your photo is a good one.

How to enter:
Post your image in the comments under this image before May 31st.

Terms?
The model must be a Forge World or Citadel Contemptor Dreadnought.
One entry per person please, we'll delete any duplicate images.
You must have painted the model yourself (if we find out you haven’t, you can't win, and we'll be really disappointed in you).

What do I win?
We'll send out a suitably cool prize to the winner.

**ImAGeek**

Might enter my SoH dread. It'll never win but it's one of the few models I've ever painted so I'm pretty proud of it.

**Yaraton**

How can you compete with the professionals who paint for money?

**BrookM**

Nothing wrong with giving it your best and showing off a neat model to other fellow hobbyists out there.

**gorgon**

Note that it says "our favourite." So some creative modeling or a unique approach might impress them just as much as a high technical painting level.

Anyway...darn it. I'm already working on jetbikes, and don't want to switch gears at this point to start on my Contemptor.

**Daston**

Been waiting on the Imperial army book, will mean my Vostroyans can take to the field in 30k

even tho they actually didnt in the fluff lol.

The paintjob is unfortunate. It looks uncharacteristic of FW and it drowns out a lot of the detail that's clear and obvious in the unpainted pictures. Unpainted, and particularly without the exaggerated highlights, they look quite good. If they had been given a more typical, moderate and realistic, airbrushed and weathered FW detail, they would have looked a lot better.

It looks like someone was using the model to start learning NMM techniques.

Would anyone be able to tell me if there is an estimate for when we might see an updated Cruse Army List book? (red book #1)

If they don't mention it at this upcoming Warhammer fest I think it's safe to say not for awhile.

**angelofvengeance**

Sooo... big Bull Centaur Shar'tor the Executioner, of the Legion of Azgorh

There’s so much coming up at Warhammer Fest, I couldn’t resist showing you another new model that’ll be available there first. Introducing Shar’tor the Executioner of the Legion of Azgorh…

Shar’tor is shown here next to a Daemonsmith for scale, and he is HUGE! Bigger even than the Bull Centaur Taur’uk. Click on the picture for a better view, and a look at the box he’ll come in.

Shar’tor the Executioner will be available first at Warhammer Fest, and soon after on the Forge World web store.

There’s still more to come on what’s going to be available at Warhammer Fest, so get your tickets whilst you can and keep checking this bulletin for more!

**Hanskrampf**

Love the model, but not the paintjob. Needs to be more gritty.

**Mr_Rose**

I, uh, isn't that a flying base? He looks like he could headbutt most of the flyers in 40k out of the sky…

**Mymearan**

Holy cow! They're continuing the Chaos Dwarf line? Wooooow, that model is damned impressive. The musculature and flesh are beautifully sculpted.

**Theophony**

So AOS is getting titans now.....

**Mymearan**

Titans? I wish! This guy isn't that big. Now Archaon on the other hand

Child of Fang on the heresy forum is saying July.

**ImAGeek**

I really really like the Chaos Dwarf character. He's incredible.

I think we're past that (see: Nagash, Glottkin, Thanquol, etc). Not that I'm complaining (I'm not, I like the big stuff)

**ph34r**

Very cool to see more Chaos Dwarves stuff.

**Uriels_Flame**

I like the line and the paintjobs - but reminds me a bit of Skorne from Hordes...

This is a smaller base than the one you're thinking. From AoS this is an oval base that is 52mm wide and 90mm long, while the Dwarf is on a 25mm base. Its the base GW has been using on some of the newer cavalry models and is consistent with the standard Bull Centaurs.

**BrookM**

It's probably a 105x70mm oval base, the same as used by the Ghostkeel.

**angelofvengeance**

How about someone sends FW an email about it?

**jojo_monkey_boy**

That new monster is a beautiful sculpt. It appears to use pieces from the abandoned kdaii (the shield bearing hand with its stubby fingers), though whether they're literally the same pieces reused or merely conceptually the same, is not clear.

With that being said, it's a bit disappointing that they abandoned that kdaii sculpt, which seemed pretty original, to simply make a larger bull centaur.
