Hah, don't apologize, it's a kind of yellow/tan green, at least as far as my eyes tell me. It's sort of a chartreuse which is yellow green or green yellow
Classic old school wraithlord. I had given up on him years ago, as he was a royal pain to assemble. Since then my greenstuffing skills have improved, so the joins are a little better. If he falls apart again, I’m breaking out the power tools and other extreme measures. But for now he’s standing tall, risen from the depths of my hobby supplies, and ready to fight for the rest of his doomed race.
Wow guys, great stuff. I love the Wraithguard(? I don't know much about the Eldar but, someday I want to play them. )
I hope you put a dome on that BC.
So mistakes were made but, fixable ones. I started spraying yesterday, had to stop due to high humidity. It didn't bubble or flake though, so I am glad. It's like 74% humidity today.
uggggh. So I have to go back and make some waves for the base, and also spray some Techmarine booty with primer (or paint a coat on there). Really loving the side-effects of this magnet. It allows me to mount it to a spray stick and have a nice halved scheme. I have a question though guys. My primer is chaos black. Can I do a coat of that from a paintpot due to the humidity/rain preventing spraying on the spots that was bad/not primed, and then do a second coat of chaos black, the first acting as a primer coat on the bare spots?
It'll have the frame at the very least but I'm waiting on my father to mail me a hole-punched piece of wood for heat forming the glass.
He's going camping with some beardy musicians and I may have missed my shot.
I've sort of stalled with the Aquila due to being smacked with a bug again. She may not get a dome canopy by the end of the contest.
I feel your pain there, BC. Grandfather Nurgle blessed me over the past few days with a non-serious but very annoying cold. Did not put me in the mood for painting at all. However, that is over, and I have more Screaming Bell paint, so no more excuses for me!
Well, ain't it funny, a week after I arrive from Ireland my family decides we're going to Andorra, I'll try and find some WIP pics to enter but this month has been quite an adventure.
Very nice!... Hope to have my old school Full Metal Khador submission ready in a few days.
Thanks man!
I really like the cherry red of the armor plates. I'm not as wild about the scarlet red around the spikes in the shoulder pad, but that's just a personal preference, I think it's sharply painted.

It does look a bit scarlet in the pictures. Its just the way the shading worked out.

Vorpal, That thing is amazing.
Thank you both kindly It's my first time painting something bigger than a land raider. I just hope monthly practice will help me get to be as good as everyone else here!
that's the two lads pretty much done. Just the weathering the castellax left to do and as I just noticed the Dom's flasks. Next onto the bases and hopefully get a wee dio built too.
Looks kind of like a grim techno reaper. Just sayin. When that old toaster finally gives up the ghost, it is he who leads the wayward spirit to it's final rest with the omnisiah (or something).
Got him primed inside today, set up a fan. Got tired of the fumes/hand mess, got a mask and gloves too.
Not the greatest I know but, a couple painted layers of white and a lightbox will hopefully help when this is done. First time with a halved scheme, the magnet made it less challenging though.
As always there is a diverse range of fantastic entries, well done to all! I have finished up my entry (with time to spare!) now I just need some decent weather to get the photos taken.
Thanks for the compliments! I was going to call it the Beast but now every time I see the pictures I hear Brad Pitt from The Mexican saying "El Camino"
Lovin' that tank WinterHound! As for the "superfluous" heavy stubbers, probably had someone who fought Orks too much come along and say "Needs MOAR DAKKA!"
As for my entry, it is coming down to the wire. I've just done the shading, now it is on to the highlights! Of course, then I have to actually assemble the thing. It's gonna be great, though!
Note the painted crosshairs and targetting nonsense. I redid them several times, and I STILL hate them.
This is what they looked like after I spent a year/decade/century working with wooden sticks to make the legs.
Spoiler:
At this point, I had no idea what plasticard is. I still haven't bought any.
Note the sexy chainblade, because wirecutters are for aircraft, and only AT-ATs fall for that cable trick.
Spoiler:
Corkboard for the hill, sand and strickland mud for the ground, varnished for that sexy, wet look. Paperclips for the pickets, and wire reprising his trademark role as concertina wire. Clay for the bricks.
All parts are magnatized, so you can remove the totally sweet autocannons and still have the sucker act like a stormtalon.
Spoiler:
said autocannons came from an aegis system, so TECHNICALLY, by choosing your loadout, you could pretend to be a stormtalon or a seawizz defense turret.
Really light weathering. Like, damn, is it even there?
Spoiler:
I have a potato for a camera, but there is steel sponged onto the edges and more where the pilot climbs in, and what I call "Angel Dirt", and what GW calls Seraphim Sepia crammed into the corners. Add some technical rust in the joints and spars that don't see use. I made sure to greenstuff over the magnets so you could play with them removed, but I didn't smooth it out because I am an idiot. The gaps are filled with a creamy mix of giftcard, greenstuff, and modelling clay.
This is Doug, the driver.
Spoiler:
Doug loves puppies, long walks on the beach, using glow in the dark paint on viewscreens, and murdering heretics by stepping on them. I ignored the shoulderpads because they are dumb looking, and added the Adeptus head because it wasn't dumb looking.
And this is Brother-Captain Lightyear, of the Star Command Chapter. I am not sorry.

i picked it up from a garage sale and idk it says wizkids on the base...
Looks like a Battle Tech mini.
Not one I recognize, so probably a new one (or a re-image of an old one, Griffon?) But Wizkids did/does hold the BattleTech license, and it has that air about it.
I'm working on taking my painting to the next level. The Dakka contest gives me a deadline and a testbed to try new things. The great folks at Dakka are awesome with the feedback. (You know who you are!!!)

Awesome work man, and I really like that you went with the old metal one instead of the weird hunchback new plastic.
Smashing stuff from everyone! Going to be a good final ensemble this month, let's see how many more entries we can get in!
On a side note, anyone fancy doing me a huge favour and stepping in to run next month's challenge? The latter half of September is going to be pretty hectic for me what with heading off to uni, so while I could probably still manage to keep this going, it might run a little smoother if someone else could step in. It's just one less thing for me to worry about, and in all honesty, running these things is pretty fun if you have the time/inclination.
No worries if not, but if anyone is genuinely interested and can commit to doing it (just for the one month, I should be settled in and less busy when October rolls around) then please PM me or post here.
Final WiP before putting everything together. Wife's away ths weekend so it's gonna be a long session getting it all sorted. Shoud be done by Monday me hopes

I can. After the 6th I pretty much have September to myself. Though if you try and get second/an early post in the topic, you can edit that with information and thoughts on the first page as well.

That is 100% awesome! Thanks so much!
I guess you've seen enough of the challenges to get the formula by now, but either way I'll PM you some guidelines later on, and yeah, I'll still be participating/following along with the challenge as much as I can, so getting an early post should be easy enough.
Three final pics. 2 more to be added in when I'm happy with them. I wish I had more time, but I get 4 hours every other day for all my free time (excuses in early ).

Cheers Storm. Coming along nicely now. Been at it all day, well that and finishing off the chipping and weathering on the castellax. Gantry is finished now - playing with weathering powders. Fun but they get everywhere!!! Pipes also done. Just the stone and dried earth to wash and drybrush left, finsihing details and we're done Had a lot of fun with this one and all in only 2 weeks!
The Aquila dome has no glass, so I need to make some to fit.
You can see the uncut dome in the background of that photo next to the purple wash.
Traditionally you make a dome canopy by heating clear plastic or plasticard over an oven ring and pushing an appropriate dome through a correctly sized hole in a piece of wood.
I have no drill or wood here, so my father cut those holes (24mm with one size up and down), and mailed them to me yesterday. With Monday being a postal holiday, I had no idea if I'd get it or not. Thankfully yes, and I got the plastic too!
Stormwall, I was joking, that's pretty much nothing, I'm just amused it showed up on the photo. I occasionally get to say, "That's the scar I got from giving my friend his head." as it happened when I was handing one over.
I joked because the knuckles on that hand (that will never make an appearance on Dakka), are a myriad of scars that have earned me the question, "Did you punch someone?"
Truth is (as my parents delight in retelling), age four, I fell down some concrete steps as a child holding a plastic watering can. I refused to let go of the watering can because it was paramount importance, and ended up in A&E still holding the watering can. Presumably with contents.
I say "I don't remember."

Lol. Meanwhile in the DCM area... (*Someone posts a show your scars thread*)
I've finished my entry. I had loads of fun working on this thing, and I hope you guys like it. Without further ado, here are the final pictures of my Soul Grinder: As I said, I had a lot of fun putting this together and painting it. I feel like I learned a fair amount, including how to do decent drybrush effects on textured surfaces (the skin, in the case of this model). This fits this month's theme better than my entry last month fit last month's theme, I think. Loving everyone else's entries so far, with special shout-out to Winter for that amazing Tech-priest Dominus, and Inspector #264 for Maximilian (I love the movie that he comes from!). Of course, once Januine is finished he's gonna probably blow us all out of the water, but Winter's entry will at least make him work for it! And, of course, thanks Paradigm for having this contest and giving me (and others) the inspiration to try new things and push the envelope with my painting skills!
Absolutely agree there, Ratius. The standard so far has been unbeleiveable!

Many thanks for the kind shout out, glad you like him, and the movie is a personal favourite of mine!
Good job on the Soul Grinder by the way, the dry brushing has been really effective highlighting the flesh, and the contrast between it and the armor plates makes it pop more.
Love those, WInter, Zergsmasher. I agree, these contests have been great excuses to learn and try new things.
Don't think I'll get to finish,after all that. I sat down to have a go, and had an accident. Got a great spatter of blood on the main body of the Aquila and my white painted IG while trying to stand up. Not exactly a proud moment. I'll see how far I can get, and enter that.
Having to paint and hold left handed because moving my right hand starts it off again.

That’s how Khorne armies start, be careful.
And heal up.
Tons of nice work this month. I know we say this every month, but it’s true, and getting truer! Great jobs from everybody.
Thank god I got one more day with this guy. I'm very close.
I am saddened as I do not think I can get the base done in time but, I will try you guys.
Bad timing with work starting in a day and a half. This contest actually forced me to paint and practice and try new things and I'm really grateful for that. Lastly, should I go with a bright yellow plasma to limit my color pallet, or a bright blue? I am unsure if I have the paints for the blue plasma. :C I could also use a green plasma as there are some green gems on my giant-phallic-shaped-contemptor-sized-thallax creation. What do you guys think?
Been away a lot this moth so not been posting much, some pretty impressive work so far tho' guys! (and girls?)
Managed to get my entry finished late last night, I'm sure its not to everyones taste, but needed to be done. So, thank-you Para for letting me enter this, my first attempt at Steampunking up a Nerf gun. Turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. I assumed that as it was 1:1 scale, and therefore not need shading, that it wold be easy. But, it turned out to be the opposite! Working with enamels was far harder than I thought it would be, and I found out that metallic paint, just looks like paint when scaled up, rather than metal. So it took a lot of experimenting and trips to Halfords.
It also turned out to be a real pig to get the moving parts painted with a tough enough lacquer to keep their colour and yet still work.
So here it is, my as yet un-named steampunk revolver. Deregulated to have twice the range of a normal Nerf and weighted for a more realistic feel. Any feedback for the next one I build is appreciated, also any suggestions for names? Going with The Defenestrater at the moment.
Knight Commander Pask is finally finished and I hope you like him!
It's been a blast trying out various weathering techniques! It's my second attempt at a really weathered tank and this time I feel I got a lot more things right. Using sponges for paint chipping and various use of weathering powders will definitely be part of my toolbox in the future.
A word of warning: weathering powder seems able to move all by itself! I've got that stuff all over my paint station, and it will take me another evening just go get that sorted!
I am also really happy with Pask himself! When I saw that face on the flaggelant sprue I instantly thought of Pask and I have been meaning to do that conversion ever since.
I like that the gun is not on functional, but is more powerful than usual. And that it's weighted for realism Defenestrator, so it knocks people out of windows?
Finally all done and here be the photos. Camera and computer decided to be utter gimps this evening ><
Anyways - here be Tech Priest Dominus Lant Dor and his personal Castellax Battle Automata Delta17 'Razorfist from the forgeworld Achlys Tertius. Really really loved this wee project from the figs to designing and building the dio. A fantastic, if utterly hectic fortnight!!! I'm exhausted and off to bed!! Great work all - it's been a fantastic month for entries. Good luck all and nighty night, don't let the warpdaemons bite
Sadly I have run out of time on this challenge, think I'm about 85% done, still needed to do highlights more black flames and add a few gubbins, icons etc.
Heres my final entry, think i managed to salvage the ebay buy.
Spoiler:
I now have tremendous respect for anyone that paints an entire army in bad moons colors, yellow is a pain in the ass to paint.
Great efforts from BC with your monumental challenge this month, I really like the gun Love Badger and Zerg I feel your painting has come on really well over the last few challenges well done
edit: Oh no I've posted directly after Januine my entry is doomed!

Frankly, it doesn’t mater where we post in relation to Januine, we were doomed from the start. For being partially done, that is still amazing work. I’ll agree on the yellow thing. Mad props to all the people who can pull that off, because Emperor knows, it’s not me.
For those eagerly looking for the new thread tomorrow, remember to look for one by Buttery Commissar, not me! I'll try and have voting up by midday-ish.
I'll have to submit a very neat WIP as there's no way I can get this finished left-handed. Every time I start using my right hand, it starts off bleeding again.
if it's okay, I'll take the photo first thing in the morning with some daylight, try and get the whites looking truer.
Yeah, I think it's only fair you go into 'injury time' there, BC! If you manage to finish in the next few days then let me know and I'll see you get completion points even if you can't manage to get a WIP tomorrow!
@Stormwall: BC is taking over for September while I move in to uni, normal, me-in-charge service will be resumed in October! Mwahahahaha, there is no end to my rule!

*Door heard opening shortly after this post, screams, blam*
Second injury time for BC! Ouch! Another scar for the collection?
I finally got my Haqqislam Remotes done.... this month has really pushed my painting stamina, but I get two shiny new models at the end. Can't wait to try out the Rafiq, what with the sensing, and the forward-observing, and the shotgunning... The Shihab has already seen a good few games, but maybe now he's painted he'll live longer (that's how it works, right?)

Now, resculpt in 3, 2, 1....
Congratulations to all the stunning entries!
Those are awesome and adorable. The lenses are great. Also, we really do need a scar thread at this rate.
You okay to do the next subject poll, Para? I can stick a spoiler for collected suggestions in the first post of the next topic, for your easy perusal.
Thanks for the accommodation, I did this in the most stupid way possible, so I don't really deserve it. I was pulling a cover off a brand new xacto-style knife, and adjusted my grip to avoid cutting myself. I don't know quite what happened, but there was a distinct moment of, "Oh dear."
@BC: yep, I should be OK to do the polls/voting thread, it's just the day-to-day management I'm not going to have time for. You can collate the suggestions if you want, if not I'm good just to dig through, I'll be following the thread anyway!
Cheers for the praise guys, means a lot as everyone here seems so skilled! Will try to post a video showing the firing next to one of my unmodified nerf, but not sure how to do it as I'm a bit of a technophobe. It's a pretty simple mod with a few vids on utube if anyone wants a crack.
Seems like lots of variety this month, good to see a battleship, war machine, 40k and infinity in the same thread and no one being a bitch about the other games :-)
Good luck everyone. What's the theme for next month? Think I missed it while catching up with the thread.
Well after being distracted by some deadzone terrain at the start of the month and then going on holiday for two weeks my machines have barely risen at all this month. :| So looks like i will be a DNF for this month's challenge. Congrats to all of the finishers though.

Most people will tell you that fancy painted models tend to die first in games...
Which doesn't bode well for my shiny new Soul Grinder! All kidding aside, I'm loving all the entries, but I think once again Januine has us beat. Still looking forward to the voting, when I can compare everybody's stuff more closely and admire the awesome paint work!
I'm sorry guys, my model is taking so much longer than I thought it would.I'm just now getting the shield and plasma gun done with some minor coloring on the upper torso. I had a pot of Seraphim Sepia spill on my white carpets too, that took a long time to clean up today.
The water effects on the base are taking forever too, something Buttery warned me about. I'd go all night and get it done but, there are only two hours technically left for me, and I start my new job tomorrow.
So I'm out. I'll post pictures in my plog and here when it is done though, for sentiment since i actually worked on a figure to the end this time and didn't drop out.
The new theme chosen, with 38% of the vote, is: 'Never tell me the odds!':- 6s to Hit, 6s to wound, but you know he can do it! Your entry should feature a model facing some kind of adversity, and standing defiant against it. This could cover anything from a single model in the right context to a full-blown diorama piece.
Well, I finished my entry (2 wraiths short, but hey!) Photos only possible this morning, so sorry for late post:
Hope you like it.
Few points:
The Gunner is called Bob
Bob likes to Hum "Bob the Bolter, Can He Blast it? YES I CAN!!!!!" as he goes about killing stuff
There is fluff, but not typed up yet.
Entries so far look brilliant. Well done everyone.
@ Zoat - thank you verymuch. This was one I really really loved doing. The wife was laughing away at me as I painted with a giant gak-eating grin plastered across my face! Starting to try out chipping and weathering a bit.
@ sock - loving those servo skulls. Your lens work is awesome sauce.
@ TP - bloody love it. that dio has come out cracking like. Worth the sleepless nights eh?! YOu can really taste the desperation and the frantic moment shown.
Some totally brilliant entries this month. Well done everyone. Strength to strength it goes (wow that was cheesy lol )
Here's how far I got. The pod is dropped out of modesty, there's still a large spatter of me on it, and I thought that was a bit grim to show in a light hearted painting topic.
It'll be finished by Friday come what may, as I have to use it in a tournament at GWHQ. They will just take my cash and laugh otherwise.
I'm not happy with the metallics, they need matting down, but I can't use my airbrush left handed, that is actually beyond me.
See my high tech screening of using an old blazer on a shoebox.
@Stormwall: even if you didn't make it in time, I hope the challenge has been an inspiration to paint! That's what it's all about, so if you put paint on a mini you otherwise wouldn't have, you're a winner!
@TP: love it, good to see Bob finished at last! Cool Crons too!

Thanks man, was a great feeling to have him finished. Think I may use some weathering paints on him soon, but ran out of time for the contest. Best of luck in uni - what are you studying?

Really loving the side-effects of this magnet. It allows me to mount it to a spray stick and have a nice halved scheme. 
I have a question though guys. My primer is chaos black. Can I do a coat of that from a paintpot due to the humidity/rain preventing spraying on the spots that was bad/not primed, and then do a second coat of chaos black, the first acting as a primer coat on the bare spots?
That's your first time on a big project? The paint looks very well applied on the large areas.
First time with a halved scheme, the magnet made it less challenging though.
