Small update, did some basing:



Now it's prime time!

That's a really cool pose. If you could break the weapons a bit closer together , think it would look even better, the arms seem a bit widely spaced currently.

Tim, that does look cool now.

A W.I.P. of mine, super inventive with an obscure chapter!
Just a few small things left to finish (like some script on the parchment) but I haven't had the time to finish it because of uni.

Nothing wrong with painting Ultras. Particularly well done ones like yours!

Yep very well done indeed, a man after my own heart with the clean paintjob.

Can I enter this soldier of the Imperium of Man? Im just not going to have a Space Marine model to do this month, and to be honest I think I'd respect this guy a lot more than any Space Marine.

If it's too far askew from the theme then I'll just wait and do an entry for next month.













Proof:

@Iechine Sadly, I think that's a bit too wide of the mark, fits the 'space' part but not really the 'marine' bit. .Looks great, but if you don't mind I'm going to say no.

@Snotcatcher: Looks awesome, really good stuff!

^ No worries, hopefully next month. I just hate those filthy astartes.

Tim 121RVC, cool position for your first marine

Tittlemanscrest I really like the heat marks on the end of the tanks cannon. The whole piece is very well done.

A WIP on mine so far, meant to post this after last weekends session, With the bank holiday I should hopefully be able to get some more paining done.

So far I've dremeled out the torso and arms + tops of legs so you can see there is a grot actually in there, because I knew I'd be chopping the legs up I picked some already primed legs from my bits box, however when I went to paint them I released a lot of the detail has been lost due to the previous owners over enthusiastic application of paint. Oh Well. I've still to putting some cabling in round the back and battle damage.

That's looking cool!

This GrotMarine is just fantastic! Really love it!!!

fanfethingtastic. love it!!!!

I'm not going to get as many done as I wanted. It has been a bad month for painting. I should get one finished, though it is not goin as well as I'd like...

That horae looks aaaaaswesime!!!!

Well, I don't think I'll finish, but it's a long weekend and all, and other than time with muh wife, I can work on this beast. Let's see how it goes...

A Plasma Obliterator!!! That's a Space Marine weapon, right? Just a really big one!

Go for it!

Beautiful work all, these are really tough competitions.

Did a little more and took some photos, so here is my final entry.....



Thank you, been a pleasure. Good luck everyone.

compaired to ya all I am a novice. ive almost finished the tactical squad, and a bunch of others..but nowhere even close to the professional quality im seeing in this thread. mine are more to a tabletop standard, as im not doing just one tactical squad. but four, as well as assault and devastor squad,15 bikes, 4 atk bikes, 5 landspeeders. the vindicator squad is done.. im learning alot just from how ya all take the pictures and other threads videos

Ok thats all i got, the more i try yo make it look better the worse it becomes, my final....

Don't worry about it - that's exactly how I feel too. But the challenge is a fun motivational tool. I think it's generally just good to be part of too. Y'know, it's the the taking part and all that BS

Finished, and with time to spare too! Most unusual.

Sergeant Baradiel



As a devastator sergeant he's meant to have a signum, but I loathe the official bit; it's so cumbersome looking. So I've given him what is essentially a combi-markerlight, a servo skull (which, if you look closely has 3 different laser targetters of it's own along with the lens), head with targetter and a scope with the lens painted in a different colour to my ordinary ones in order to try and convey all the optics and targetting technology. He's in a 'scanning battlefield' pose, hence the skull and him facing in different directions.

Was going to give him one of the many heads with a bionic eye in my possession, but most of those have the bionics on the right and that would clash with the scope which, I think, makes the gun look much cooler. Those with bionics on the left wouldn't really allow for the head roatation needed to make the pose work. Black metal of the combat blade makes sense in the fluff I'm writing for him, basically he's a weapon tinkerer and is experimenting with different alloys to get a sharper harder edge that might make a blade rival a chainsword as a weapon choice (sometimes there's no petrol resupplyin a protracted conflict and chainswords just become metallic baseball bats). ~

His name is that of the angel of hail, which seemed failry apposite as he'll be leading a squad of four heavy bolters when I'm done.

Nice work there sock. relly clean smooth paintjob

Wow, Sock, that's a great looking marine!

Cheers, gents.

.

Damn just saw this excellent thread. Here is what I have been working on but too late! Nooo....

You've got 5 full days including a public holiday, you'll make it

That said, I am worried you actually will make it because those are going to be too good for the rest of us to get a look in

No time, lots family stuff and work on
Labour of love.
Here is another shot.

Give it a go dude! All you need is obe model!

Where are those shields from?

kb_lock wrote:

Pretty sure they are the invictus suezarin squad shields.

And you'd be correct, though theyre from 3 sets :3

Oi! Only 5 days left! How did that happen? Time flies...

Hi all
Winter is correct, FW has some great bits, try Thor and eggheadminiatures on ebay.
I also got a bunch of helmets, chest fronts and shoulder pads i liked from ebay. Personalisation is good

Too many to paint in 5 days

Well entries are capped at 5 models, so that instantly cuts your work load in half and if, like me, you have very little time to do anything, you can just enter 1.

Here we go - final photos taken. Bloody camera and lighting decided to play silly buggers today and am way to tired to feth about with them anymore. Soz for the weak photos. Damn glare. Definetly going to get a lightbox soon. Anyways..........

Here he is - Terminator Brother Goriel of the Blood Angels, attached to Squad Lorenzo aboard the acursed Hulk 'The Sin Of Damnation'

Target selected:

Jan - that ichor is super icky, man and I really like the pale flesh of the genestealer. I guess if you spend all your time hanging out in Space Hulks you don't get a lot of vitamin D.

Good dark red on Goriel and the black is lovely. With all the bling it's quite easy for SH Terminators to look very busy, but you've mitigated that well with consistent colour choices that don't jar with the scheme as a whole and demand focus on individual bits.

Thanks very much Sock. The 'paintmymini' app that TP recommended me is really really handy for storing paint recipes and schemes. Looking forward to doing more of these boys. Toned the reds down and darker than the usual BAs - dead happy how they've turned out.

Finally got around to trimming the photos down to 5 or less... Those pesky rules...



(Took longer to remove 2 photos than it did to paint it)

@Januine - absolutely gorgeous as always, love that icky!
@Zambro - wow have to say I'm very impressed with that scroll
@sockwithaticket - omg >< those lines are so clean and beautiful That's what I aspire to on my guys!

@Januine; yes that model looks terrible /jealous sarcasm

@Zambro; Holy crap! I got some very nice feedback on my writing last month, but that was two pages in a book, not an entire damn scroll!

@Loricatus Aurora; very nice pose on that marine, like it.


Just waiting for my images to load before posting the finals for my entry.

Sorry to all, had 6 images in my final submition. Please accept my new one

Well, it looks like I may have to just wave the white flag and throw in the towel. I just haven't had time to get stuff done this month, what with being constantly tired from work. Retail's busy around Easter! Next month I should be able to do better. Honestly for this month I'll try to get SOMETHING submitted, even if it's just one of the hoped for five models, but don't expect anything remotely impressive.

I have finished my blood angels Predator tank. I chose to leave it without a gunner (really because I somehow lost the mini). Note the chipping, blued steel on the barrel, subtle streaking, OSL headlights, and various add-ons. This piece flew together fast, I really surprised myself. I hope you guys enjoy!

Superb tank. Love the barrel and the osl.

Good stuff all!

My final entry, no different to the mini on the first page but cut down to 5 pics. Pretty pleased with him, definitely my strongest entry to date, I think!

Lovely stuff. Do love your take on the Sals; gorgeous dark earthy greens. So much of an imrpovement on the dayglo ones. Great stuff P

Update on my late entry. Basics done, now highlighting cleanup and detailing required. Id say about 50% done.

Lots of great stuff here! I think I'm done now, messed with the weathering and added more details since the last W.I.P.



C+C always appreciated as usual!
Chris

Far from finished (especially the camo), but it's starting to look like something:

Just need a few finishing touches and I should be able to take pics of final space marines here shortly!

I really need to take better pictures so I can get good collages like you

I've already submitted my final pics, but I thought the photos made the red look a bit flat.



So I've re-done some of the highlighting. Still not convinced. Am I being way too subtle with my highlighting? Or is it just the crappy pictures (they look okay in 'real life'). I know I should be using a light box, but do I need to change my painting too?

Here's some of my primed bits awaiting paint, off work this week so aiming to get 5 finished, which will be my first 5 totally finished in a good 16 years!

I believe in you Tsukuru.

I will take my final pics tonight, it has been done already, I've just been super busy. Not happy with the skintone, but can't think of how I'd make it better. Just afterwards managed to do the best skintone ever on a chaos chosen, so I don't know what my deal is.

I know it's late but I finally found what I want to do for this theme

Alright managed to finish one of the vindicators.

Nice job on the vindicator

.

An update, Not the best pics but I'm pretty happy with how the purple came out.

@KingPariah: It looks like your camera flash fired. Photographing it with the flash suppressed will remove the stark glare.

Work in progress...

Final? Probably unless I can spot some more things to do:

Looks very nice. One thing that stands out to me is the separation of the mini and the base. While weathered, the dread has clean feet. The base is either glistening mud, or the dread has a hydraulics leak and made a puddle. If the base is mud, I’d expect to see some muck about the lower legs/feet.

(Not to be critical, I like the work you’ve done. Just something that seemed off to me)

Finished: Company III Command Squad Veteran, Sgt Gaff of the Angels Venomous

This is my the first half of squad 1 company 5 tactical marines.

Lovely skills on display here.
For my preference I like more contrast, but thats just my preference.
Your blending and weathering looks great. Pose also nice.

Here's me with first submission thinking I'd actually get a vote or two These all look incredible

I'm a Newby too, mu quality is basically tabletop, not crazy fancy ornate like most these guys, but it's been fun.

For a newby I can't see anything wrong with your models, they are certainly tabletop quality, I think bad lightning is the main thing though, try a plain white background or a darker stand, using the black and the white confuddles the camera's autobalancing

I'm a first time comp participant too. Maybe there should be a second vote for best rookie (although I've been painting on and off for 20+ years, I'm a rookie to this comp, and no better than table top standard anyway). Rookie's could maybe be anyone who's entered 3 times or fewer.

Finished: Emperors War bringers Sniper Scout.

Finished!

Not in it to win it, as there's some incredible stuff already on this thread! But as they are the first Marines I've finished in about 16 or 17 years, I'm fairly happy with them. The black / white split harks back to my childhood Marines, who were half black / half silver, the story being that half the chapter fell to chaos, so the armour was painted half black in penance. The more fallen comrades you kill, the whiter your armour gets!

Lets see if these wip shots come up

Appears i cant manage 2 shots at once using ipad :(

Sorry for having to do this way..

Congratz Tsukuru, good job on finishing them. the black and white with blue trim works very nicely.

Keep up the good work Loricatus Aurora looks like you have made some good process, only a day left now tho.

I've almost finished the grot marine, just a few bits of touch up to do then photos will follow

@serv omg love the scout!

i finished abadon, ill try to take decent pics tomorrow *crosses fingers* *hopes camera is in a good mood* (auto focus is annoying)

*pulls an Indiana Jones and slides in at the last minute*

These were more of a build than a paint, I wanted to see if I could make the missile launcher armature, and if I could get a bolter with a stock actually look like it was tucked into someones shoulder.




Every month I keep telling myself, "I will buy a better camera and stop using my phone." Never happens.

This being my second entry, I considered this as a suggestion but decided not to. I have to admit that I like being side by side with all the entries straight off the bat, as it makes me aspire to do better paintjobs on my models - If I were to win a rookie-award, it would feel a tad like a consolidation prize to me, instead of just doing what I could to prove my painting beside the other contestants.

I do get where you're coming from though, as it can be daunting to enter a competition of talented painters like this one - The display of skill and craftsmanship is stunning! Just keep at it and if you need any tips and/or guides, head to peoples project logs. They are usually very helpfull and glad to explain how they achieve the particular look they have on their miniatures.

Hey Para, I know it's a bit late, but I'd like to change my entry.
After all these serious SM I've seen, I'd like to enter a real SM WITHOUT any Orkiness in it

I basecoated him in the morning and am working on him today.

Proof is with the first layer of paint on it. Hope it fits the rules.

K D

PS Depending on the fact that I finish him today

Complete. All steps done but rushed. For foot trooper ok though

Well done all who competed the comp

Photo two..

And final shot. Have to do this way with ipad.

I, too, am done.

Really annoying, I knew that his knife was somewhere, but in looking at how to paint it saw that he was missing his chain crux and his elbow shield thing - FORTUNATELY managed to find that in the first box I looked in, after I had completely reorganised everything yesterday looking for the bloody knife.

Then I had to colour match the silver and gold, without airbrushing or oil washing - I WAS FINISHED LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO AND STILL MANAGED TO LEAVE IT TO THE LAST MINUTE!

Anyway, here is my Ultramarine Deathwatch Space Marine











Thanks Para

@kb stellar job!

here are a couple shots of finished shots of abadon

Great job for finishing, some really nice detail on your model there KB.

Seems like we are getting a reputation You don't have to think you'll win to enter, I just have fun and take part in the hobby are the reasons why I enter, hence my mods, I do rather enjoy doing them.

I'll add mine to the list of finished models now. I think I succeed in making it look like he wasn't just a Grot head stuck on a SM body. (got to represent the Orks KD )

Managing to survive enough battles and Ork Mealtimes this plucky Grot has saved enough teef to pay a very Mad Mad Doc to implant him into a set of salvaged Space Marine Bits and give him power weapons from a generator in the backpack.
I give you Grot Marine. Now we shall see who is on the lunch menu.

So many awesome marines, guys!
This coming vote might be the hardest of all time to me!

Can't wait to see all finished entries.

Nearly finished my replacement-entry!

A little drybrushing and filling a little puddle, taking the pics, edit them and DONE!

Goblin SM LOL!!! awesome!

Here's my final pics!







got one more but isn't uploading oh wel

I will have to drop out of this challenge. I will post my finished product expecting no points though. To the bitter end!

´Er we go! ... I mean: Here we go!

Final pics:

I'm loving all the Marines I'm seeing here. That Grot Marine is especially awesome! It's a shame I didn't have more time to paint this month, but oh well, I'll have something good next month (yes, this is my official "Throw in the towel" post). Looking forward to voting!

While I love the Grot marine and think its novel, funny and skilfully done, I reckon the counts as Vulkan by Albinoork is my pick so far. Reasons being beautiful and skilled paint job, interesting and novel scheme, great modelling construction.

Happily you can vote for as many as you like Loricatus, though the guide is to try and keep it to 5 ish

Just gone through all the entries an impressive 57 started, really interesting to see how people put there own stamp on the SM models.

Thanks for the kind words on Grot marine, happy he is getting some love amongst a very strong field of entries.

I have 1 at the start, 1 where hes basecoated, and 1 with highlights still to do, I'm happy to talk you through it if you would like to copy it, it is time consuming if you where planning on making a squad. Impressed you got your entry changed in a day, I can only look on envious at your painting speed and quality in that time.

I have been toying with the idea of making a blog of some sort so I can write down all this stuff since I'm getting quite a few unique models out of these challenges.

lol thank you, I did try to do it all in 1 piece but due to the thinness of the plastic it broke off when I was carving the helmet out so I added those bits later with thin pieces of plasticard.

Hey all. Have been impressed with all the entries so far. Well done all.

I have finished my entry but there is no way I can get the photos done tonight for a variety of reasons. I hope Para doesn't mind, I need to take advantage of his usual "as long as it's in before about 10ish" kindness. Hope that's ok. Was meant to be done tonight, but RL has a habit of destroying all hobby plans

God dammit MG!

You can't just murder the competition like that and be so nice about it!

Brilliant work dude, and everyone. I'm looking forward to have time to catch up on all the entries as this baby is causing mayhem (which is to be expected)

For folks worried that they can't paint well enough to win, think about it in a different way. You've got what amounts to a free ticket to play in the grand final of whatever sport you like here, some truly remarkable painters will be painting there with you. You will improve drastically if you continue to rub shoulders with people more skilled than you, if anything you should feel bad for Januine, Midget Gems, Paradigm, et al - it's harder for them to be inspired

Don't worry about getting no votes either, that tends not to happen. I don't vote for the big names unless they are utterly amazing, I expect a lot from them if they want my vote. Johnny Nobody who has battled through a model and produced a result above his normal skill level that he is proud of, however, they always get my vote.

I feel kinda horrible for posting up the piece of Censored I dare call a finished marine. But I promised myself that no matter how bad it was, I was gonna post it here, to get the fear of showing my things out of my system.
Absolutely love all the models posted and I have been drooling over them all daily
So here is my first ever warhammer model, and first ever competition entry

That is brilliant for a 100th model, let alone 1st

Every single model I have seen here has its merits, great competition, great work and if it achieves nothing other than encouraging Falienia's fantastic first model, then it is all good. Excellent job on your first model, welcome to a whole new world.

finito!!!

a lovely sculpt from Forge World, one of their 2015 event exclusive minis...

here is an experiment in Chrome Sky-Earth True Metalic Metal...
how is that for a mouthful???
fun to try and inject more color and action into what is usually a pretty utilitarian color scheme...
sadly, the sky-blue reflection on the upper surfaces doesn't show up well in the pics:(...

Can't speak for the others, but the inspiration I do get from this is on a monthly basis is a huge part of the reason I run this thing, not only because of the fantastic entries from the likes of Jan and MG (both far more talented than I am) but also because of the first steps I see people taking like the entry above; seeing a first mini, or someone trying out a new technique or just improve is a HUGE part of this whole thing, and a constant testament to the excellent P&M community here on Dakka and to the effort, skill and dedication of the entrants. It really is inspiring in the truest sense of the word!

Superb stuff for your first mini, picking up the brush for the first time and putting paint to plastic is something that requires a lot of confidence and commitment, so already deserves congratulations!

A really interesting take on SETMM, especially combining Chrome and the TMM style rather than the typicall NMM.

As you say the sky-blue upper parts look a bit absent in the image, but I quite like the overall effect. Whilst it doesn't really look like SETMM, but still creates a really interesting metallic armour, it's almost textured.

I think the major problem you probably ran into was finding the horizon line, painting TMM would have made that incredibly hard.

Aaaaand done!

I'd like to say painting Sergeant Gideon was fun but that would be utter twaddle. The model itself is awesome and painting it has made me re-appreciate how fantastic the Space Hulk minis are. The problem came from the fact that the last time me and the Mrs sat down and played Space Hulk, we did so with 'atmospheric' candle lighting. Unbeknownst to me, Gideon (and presumably several other models) got a handsome splattering of wax that I failed to take care of properly before I started painting him and.. yeah, you can probably imagine.

Anyway, it was fun to step outside my comfort zone, if only for a month (I'm planning on painting as many Orks as I can in April!).

Pics:







Good luck everyone and see you next month!

OMG. That big gun took way longer to paint than I guessed O.o Hard to tell on these pics because I didn't have time to take a lot of them, but the inside and hidden bits are all painted, which took quite a bit longer than I guessed. And assembling it cleanly afterwards (so that everything fits perfectly...) took quite a while. But I made it in the nick of time! Here you go, the Space Marines weapon!

In case anyone is curious, the gun itself (the plasma gun-looking-part, that is) is TMM with an airbrush, as are the plasma coils.

Okies, first off -

you have paint in all the right places. You have a coherent colour scheme. And trust me, that looks better than my first mini! The whole thing with the camera is it's good at showing up errors overall. And you are well on your way to doing good things (TM). Love that wolf tail!

This is what I get for waiting til the last minute to figure out what I want to do... without further ado. Exodus

Mt guys are done (except for the bases ARRRGH!) Will post pics in the mornin.

that space wolf looks amazing, had you not said it was your first guy.. Never woulda guessed.

Sorry, if it's not too late, use this one instead, please -- updated image below. I took some more photos!

Sup Dakka,

Super busy last few weeks and I just managed to get my third guy finished I wanted to have all 5 done for the comp but hey what can yah do?

After working my balls off trying to meet the deadline, here is my final submit!

I know I'm a hour and a half late but i hope you guys will still accept it .











good luck all, Cheers!

Damn some fine painting came through this thread! That giant plasma cannon is the best looking plasma I have seen.

Done!


Which I'd had more time to complete the others, but hey ho

Some really gorgeous entries here folks. Voting is gonna be an absolute bugger to decide on just five. well done all

Oops, sorry -- I had too many little clips in mine. Here is the revision without all those tiny zoom-ins!

Cheers.

Going to call a halt to submissions now, I think everyone who said they needed extra time has now posted their final pics. Vote will go up later today, and I'm just about to start up the new challenge thread. See you all there!

Crap, I didn't make it in time.
Still, I took my first steps into the world of miniature painting, woohoo!

@Tim - post anyway, would be great to see what you came up with

Vote!
