Welcome all to the 122nd round of the Dakka Painting challenge. For the unfamiliar, this is a friendly painting competition open to members of all skill levels and experience, whether your entry is your first or you thousand-and-first time painting miniatures. Each month, finished entries are collected into a thread where the community can vote on their favorite pieces, and those votes go towards an annual overall League that runs for 12 rounds.

This month the topic is: From the Scrapheap - This could be an old abandoned project, a rescue or a kitbash of oddments. Alternatively, it could be something or someone who's been literally abandoned or forgotten, ancient history or otherwise from the past.

- You may enter up to 5 MODELS as a SINGLE ENTRY, and are permitted one entry per member per month. If you enter multiple models, they should ideally be related in some way, such as part of the same squad, unit or scene if you are doing a diorama
- You may enter at any time during the month, up to the last minute. We do encourage people to enter early, as to be part of the community, but if you can’t start until the 11th hour, that’s OK.
- You MUST post a 'proof' picture of your entry in the thread of the state it was in before you started working on it; this must be either unassembled, unpainted, primed or coated a single colour. Entries that do not submit a valid Proof Picture will not be eligible for voting.
- After this, you may post WIP pictures in this thread and your own if you wish, and on completing the entry, you may post up to 6 final pictures IN THIS THREAD that will then be used for voting. Please note that pictures in a montage or collage picture will be considered individual images for this purpose, so while these types of presentation are certainly acceptable, please keep the image limit in mind when compiling them. For example, a collage of 5 images and one separate image would count as your 6 picture allowance.


So What Do I Win?
- Points... and points mean... bragging rights for the next month! Following the vote, points will be awarded to every entrant. This year, the Points you receive will be equal to the Percentage of Votes your entry receives in the final Voting thread; if you get 10%, you get 10 points, if you get 6% you get 6 points, so on and so forth.

These points will be used to form a league table, which will be updated month on month as the results come in.

How Long Do I Have?
This challenge begins 1st of April and will end at midnight EST on April 30th. After this, I shall compile the finished entries into a new thread, and voting will run for 5 days.

Cast your minds back to September 1988, with this little snippet from the article introducing the original Land Raider kit:



...and that, so far as I've been able to determine, is the last and only time the Star Leopards chapter was ever mentioned. But from the scrapheap of history, Brother-Captain Fragman has returned, still shouting:



I decided to make it a twofer in resurrecting long-forgotten relics - since there's nothing in canon about what colours the Star Leopards wore, I'll be using one of my first edition Space Hulk Terminators as inspiration (and just ignoring the crude Dark Angels logo on the shoulder; I wasn't paying any attention to chapter colours back then, just whatever I thought would look cool).

Nice! So not doing the harli LR?

—

From the scrapyard of 5/6th WHFB, and the battlefields of the New World, the dead rise again!



Going to get my old vampire counts army out of history amd back to the table. We’ll see how much I can get done in a month, I’ll pick the best 5.
These guys will be the first wave

This is what I'm intending to paint, an old RT/2nd edition eldar dreadnought, rescued from an ebay lot and stuck on a modern round base. It's going to be Saim Han (I think), because I'm building a 2nd edition army and Saim Han doesn't seem to be that popular online (or I can't find many pics, at least) for old school Eldar armies. Not going to go down the route of the really old RT faction schemes, with tiger stripes and polka dots and stuff, just a nice clean looking Saim Han army and lots of different aspect temples.

If I don't end up painting this dreadnought, I'll probably paint swooping hawks from the same era. I have a collection of them I bought back in the nineties, then sold in the 2000s, then rescued back from the person I sold them to recently. Hopefully that counts as being 'From the Scrapheap'.

After reading it I also was hoping for the Eldar Land Raider.

I will enter with Boomdakka Snazzwagon I was planning to build at a "surprise" competition.
proof:

I love this theme! One of the top models I was considering was this guy: https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/empire-of-man-elementalist-and-familiar-2025?queryID=a2d02446bb03a9d1163bfbfc697efd5f

Since the model is very new (but comes from Old World so also "old" in the Warhammer timeline) I wasn't sure if it would be acceptable. Would this guy be okay?

Anything Old World should be fine.

Whole setting is a scrapheap

A scrap heap from my scrap heap! It's taken five years, but I have one piece left. Hopefully when I'm done I can take some nice action shots.

Hi - ha - it seems like this month has the perfect theme for my orkarmy
- since everything they build is made out of things you can find on the Scrapheap.

I have several models that still need painting - I hope it is ok, if they allready have a green skinbase - I just wanted to remove them from the "gray pile of shame", so I allready painted every part of green skin with one layer....:
The Mech:


Big Mech with Snotzogga:



If that is allready too far ahead, I could also build and paint the Deff Dread - but I kind of wanted to paint something smaller this month, so I can concentrate more on details and effects


I also got the Meganobs - one with allready green skin, but there are 4 Models all in all and 3 are not even built yet...so maybe that would be fair and I would get some kind of kickstart for my hole army by adding 4 more Models...

That’s close enough to base. You are fine.

I won't pretend I didn't think about it for a hot minute.

Going to have to figure out what to do for this. So many potential choices, and it allows me to break out of the bretonnian blocks of infantry and knights.

Okay, just found something on eBay that I can enter here once I clean her up and do some weapon & gear updates. I don't know how divisive my entry might be though

Digging through the Drawer of Abandoned Projects, I came across some Skaven:



I got these, as well as about 20 others, in a trade several years back. Whatever the original owner used to paint them has proven impervious to both isopropyl alcohol and acetone-based nail polish remover. In fact, the only thing that takes the paint off is a wire brush. I'll strip off as much paint as I can and try to get them in shape for gaming. Naturally, I'll choose the best five for my entry.

Going to do some Eldar terrain out of old bit and bobs that would have been recycled or trashed.

Cheers,

CB

Been looking for an opportunity to paint this gent! I was going to try an old hive tyrant but I can’t find all the bits. If I can I may swap.

I'm entering this model that I rescued from the used models bin at my FLGS:

When I picked up this Broodlord, it was in very rough shape. It was absolutely smothered in thick paint, and the colors of said paint were pretty strange too (like a small child was handed this model and a paintbrush along with some paints and just told to go nuts). The long tongue was also broken off of the model. Sadly I didn't think to take a picture of it in this condition, but it was rough. I stripped the paint and re-primed it in Grey Seer, and will paint it to match my other Tyranids. The tongue was replaced by a (sadly much smaller) tongue from a spare Genestealer head. This is going to be a satisfying and relatively easy paintjob, at least I hope it's easy.

OK, as an ode to Ironhands.com (a member of Dakka) who does some of the best scratch built Eldar terrain I have ever seen.

A tower made from scraps and bits.

Not really happy with the pins in the top layer...so I may take them out and try something else (ideas welcome).
Also, if anyone has large Tropicana lids...always looking to by more.

Cheers,

CB

The upper deck needs something railing like?

The tacks en mass I think are too many. Maybe pull 3/4ths of them an connect them with rope/chain? Or sculpt a railing connecting them?

They could also use a gem/topper/flower pot of some sort.

Just ideas…

Wip from my bench:

PROOF! Toybash of a Lightyear toy using various bitz from my box, mostly from the Taurox kit IIRC.

This month's theme is a good excuse to paint Chopper. He's an outdated droid model who was rescued from a crashed Y-Wing and ended up with mismatched legs.

Everyone's FAVE war criminal!

Given that I'm the one who suggested it, I really should enter I might try to resurrect something from the shell of the pbc I found.

I also have some sort of primaris hover tank that the elder spawn abandoned long ago.

Plans for April are otherwise very much terrain focused. These are rescue failed prints from a mate that I plan to salvage:

A 3d printed Trench system, and a vaguely sith temple.

Side details didn't print, so that will need a bit of work. Any and all would suit.

Since I am on Sick leave from work I am having quite some progress with my Big Mek - so you better get runnin` `cause he is comin`and he`s a big Motherlover with an even bigger Snotzogger :



P.S.: Once I upload the pix here I allways start finding the parts I messed up - sry - where I had happy little exidents...

This fits the theme pretty well - old 4th(?) ed pump wagon, been sitting in a box for years. Looks like a moving scrapheap too

It's been a while since I painted something and this Ogre musician has been a WIP for ages.
Still need to add some chains to the drum.
I remember having a lot of fun creating this conversion, envisioning him walking around as if he's a member of a marching band!

Going back and forth between the empire elements wizard and Alarielle, so here's a proof of her model in case I swap it around

From the depths of the 'needs to be painted' bin come a basecoated only Primaris Gladiator and one of the new dreadnaughts with a bit of magnetic saving to do.

First 5 skellies almost there. I want to pick up a black contrast paint to hit their shields with (not that you can see from this angle) and they need to be based. Wight King needs his golds warmed up, then a dunk in the Nuln Oil. He’ll get a round of highlights after that, which the poor fooslogers don’t get.

Was rummaging through the stash looking for something else and found these fellows tucked away. An old ebay win that have been partly stripped but still need a bit of a clean up before painting. Also just realised that they're over the model count but will deal with that later.

Paint them all and choose the best 5 is normally how people deal with that.

Behold! An Imperial Knight built solely out of scrap.

I'm not really sure which Knight this is actually going to be, maybe a Knight Paladin?

Daia T'Nara - Brother-Captain Howell Fragman





(I named him Howell because, retroactively, that means the scribe recording his exploits was bored and entertaining himself with wordplay when he wrote "'Heresy!' he howled.")

The coat with leopard pattern looks great

I had some time on the weekend and completed the car, now it is time for the crew:

@Daia T'Nara - That leopard print cape is awesome.

Notice how Fragman is upset about garish polka-dots, but some could argue that he himself wears garish polka-dots. That really makes you think about society.

I spent some time cleaning and basing the Skaven, and realized that I don't want to paint them this month. While I was cleaning them, though, I took a look in my alcohol container:



and remember that I've been pulling old models out of storage for potential entry to the challenge. I hit them with the toothbrush and here's what I found:



I'll clean and base this lot, paint up what inspires me and enter my favorites.

My Paladin Knight is coming along quite nicely (I think so anyway).

I'm about to start converting my entry for From The Scrapheap



Don't crucify me ; I'm using her for a Xenos Inquisitor in power armor

Painted the pilot and interior of my shuttlecraft.

Forgot to post this when I took the picture



A literal scrap heap, in amongst the other stuff I want to work on. There is so much Hivestorm Terrain in that box, it'll take me a while to get through. But no time like to present to get cracking.

The Snazzwagon is almost completed, there are just some minor painting corrections and a base to make.

Progress made here too! Focused on the Redemptor to get my layering right...



Still have to focus on the plasma gun then work on the gladiator.

I'm in with this lad. I feel like with the theme "From da Scrapheap" that as an ork player I should be taking on something more ambitious, but RL has been sapping my hobby time and motivation in a major way lately. So finishing one mini a month and getting this next squad of kommandos done slowly but surely is the priority these days. Ork rokkit launchas always look cobbled together from scrap to me so I figure he fits the theme at least.

Progress is progress, even if it's one model at a time.

I did some work on the Chaos Thugs. I'm not really sold on the NMM bronze. I'm going to set these guys aside for a bit and come back with fresh eyes.

The Ork car is finally completed. It was very fun to paint and build

halfling84 - Boomdakka Snazzwagon

Good to see some people are already finished!! After some cleanup i've finally got the plaguebearers based and primed for some paint.

Progress on the Eldar terrain.



Now it is a little monochrome...I want to make it quick to paint to be able to do several pieces. Eventually I have jewels to add, but not until painting is finished.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

CB

Perhaps using either a vine/Ivy or some tufts or similar to add pops of color? My Iyanden have black templar contrast bases, drybrushed a lighter grey (which pops against the yellow and blue of Iyanden) but I added fuscia pink tufts and suddenly the whole model pops more. You could literally use green stuff and just dry brush it when done (rough idea, haven't done it that way before but it is already green...)

Hey all

Picked this out of the little ebay scrapheap box I have

I picked up two of these last year and didn't get around to painting them. The other one needs a little more TLC, previous owner stuck the wrong roof on and looks like they tried to cut it out and gave up half way through, so I think I'll pick this one to save some time.

Finished and Decaled the Dred. I could theoretically call it a day but I want to clear the Gladiator too. Started work on him. Remainder spoilered for size.




Gladiator turret progress too - I finished the turret as it's all black so I went ahead and just did the highlighting same as the Redemptor. Took more time to work on the heat effect on the melta gun and lascannons. Turret by itself then on the tank.




Pretty happy with the progress so far. C&C always appreciated.

Well your gladiator plans are far more successful than mine... as I've gone for a sharp change of direction. I rescued these from a mate's failed print pile

5 at least should be salvageable

I haven't even primed my model yet; I keep getting option paralysis on the weapon swaps. I only have one of this model and I don't want to screw her up.

I hate that kind of decision paralysis. Sometimes you just need to pull the trigger and go.

About halfway through the month. Plan accordingly.

Also start tossing out ideas for next month.

I always enjoy JoshinJapan's WIP photos. It makes me feel so much better about my own desk's tidiness.

The only reason I’m not as bad is the fact that my hobby bench is stupidly large. If I didn’t have space to sprawl, I’d have a pile of clutter and just have like 3 inches at the front to work with.

@Graven - I mean, if it is really failed, just add some sculptamold and foam and call it an explosion. Good start so far. Just add blood.

WIP:

Still need to get some base work on these guys, but making gangbuster progress. Ignore the vampire, she got a couple days of a head start and is not for the comp. Next up is to get the bland and blood knights done. Half a month to go, but the blood knights need to go one at a time on the monster handle, and knights in general take a lot more time then footsloggers.


Top 5 will make the final cut.

 Mr Nobody wrote:

I haven't actually painted anything on my painting station in many years-- every square cm is covered with paints, supplies, or WIP models. I do all my hobby work on the dining room table.

WIP of the ogre:


You can see another copy of the same model in the background. I painted him with TMM, and will use him as reference for the lighting on the newer model. Also, my go-to NMM steel recipe is really close to the blue skin, so I'll probably start over with bronze.

I actually finished my entry a week ago, but I just now got around to dragging out the lightbox for some beauty shots. Here are my final pics of the rescued Tyranid Broodlord:



Painting this model was very satisfying on multiple levels. As I think I said before, I picked it up from the used models bin at my FLGS, and it was in VERY rough shape. The model's tongue was broken off, and it was absolutely caked in very thick paint, and in random colors on different parts of the model too. I really wish I hadn't forgotten to take a "before" picture, as it really was dire. I stripped it in a bath of Isopropyl Alcohol and then scrubbed it with an old toothbrush, and fortunately that thick paint came right off. I was then able to source a replacement tongue from a spare Genestealer head, and while it's certainly smaller than the tongue the model is supposed to have it does the job okay. Once I gave the model a coat of Grey Seer primer it was ready to go, and the final painting results speak for themselves I think. Contrast paint is perfect for Tyranids! I'm very happy with how it turned out, and it was nice to rescue this model and give it a new lease on life. Hopefully it will bring me some success on the tabletop when it leads my Genestealers into combat.

Progress:

Like all the scratch built stuff going on

Managed to get some work done on the jetfighter - It had some weird marks on it, just different shade of black nothing overly noticeable, I thought it might be grease or oil. Tried given it a wash it but didn't help so gave it a quick prime.

I found a youtube video with marble effect tutorial and decided I would give a try..... turned out ok for first attempt, maybe could do with a little more white though.

Very nice marble there. How hard was it to do?

Well... I may have got distracted

I had an idea...

So this might be a thing.

It needs more teeth. But like incisors and molars like a human.

Oh absolutely. They're going round the gun barrel

 Nevelon wrote:

Cheers, it was fairly easy. I used those baby wipes stretched out....this was the most difficult part due to me not realizing it works 100 times better when they are dry, it's easy to stretch without ripping big holes in them

Then just airbrushed gold and white over the top with a few layers till I thought it looked ok and then finished of with aethermatic blue contrast

I think a similar finish could be achieved with a sponge that was going to be my Plan B.

Link to the tutorial I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-04RHY2xY0

Managed to get the other wing done this afternoon...didn't notice I missed a line with masking tape but never mind.

Ugh, I may have to change my entry. But at least the model in question has been on my scrapheap for about 10 years. Photo to come:

Well, I'm in the same position. Finished the trench system, but...

Aircraft constructed from marble may be the most 40K thing ever.

The ogre is almost finished:



Chaos Warriors next.

Work continues...



Cheers,

Huzzah, finished 2/3 of the remaining motor pool for my Black Templars. Really happy with the alternate color scheme here. Was surprisingly straightforward to accomplish.



Remainder Spoilered

Made some decent progress on basecoating the plaguebearers ahead of the bank holiday weekend. Using contrast paint on something that is 90% skin feels a bit like cheating but all is fair in the grim darkness of the far future, right?

I’m going to jump in with these old old AD&D dwarfs from the year I was born.

They’ve languished in the scrap heap of hobby life for long enough. Time for some paint and tabletop action.

Grenadier or RP?

Finished the ogre, started a Chaos Warrior:

They’re TSR 1983 skinny dwarfs with detachable weapons. Slightly wonky classically hand sculpted style with loads of character. And they’re all now painted 42 years later in time for maybe their first game ever this afternoon facing off against the Tomb Kings.

Two thirds of the month are over. Basecoats are down but real painting has yet to begin. I guess I'd better get started...

Last minute substitution since I'm still struggling on what gear to give Inquisitor Gabs:



I got this guy like a decade ago on eBay and lost his arm down the drain while stripping the old paint job. He's had the powerfist ever since but I never got around to painting him because my Brood Brother army is on hiatus. However, he makes a perfect Inquisitor henchman and that seems to be the only thing I can manage to paint that's not fantasy/medieval these days

@theCrowe: Those are some suitably wonky dwarves.

Next Chaos Warrior finished, apart from basing:
]

I have three Jes Goodwin elves primed, and will hopefully start them later today.

From the Scrapheap:




The first pieces of terrain I've painted in a very long time (from the Hivestorm box). Quite fun to do something totally different.

Running out of month, plan accordingly.

and vote for what you want to do next month. Poll will be open 2 days

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/816382.page

Finished!

It feels nice to actually have some painted terrain. It was pretty easy as well with a sponging technique. I was able to slop a bunch of browns and oranges until it looked properly rusted. Pretty useful for these bigger pieces in the future. I might buy some cheaper paints though.

I'll have a proper back drop for all of my epic tabletop battles!

Those lightbulbs look great, the whole terrain is also impressive.

I guess at the point I'll enter whichever one I finish first?

I'm liking the check pattern on the marine.

I pulled a bunch of models out of the alcohol, and have finished most of them, but my favorite is this guy:

Hryothyogg, Ogre Captain

Here's my finished Knight Paladin. And yes, I know the Icarus Autocannon isn't really right, but I don't care.

Looking good people!

Reminder we have like half a week to wrap things up. If anyone needs an extension, speak up!

Straight from the scrapheap...

*cue angry droid noises*

And here's the crew, ready to seek some lucrative cargo!

That looks amazing!
I’m trying to impart some last minute scrap heap vibes:

If I can photograph tomorrow, I can enter. The clear coat spray is currently drying.

I grabbed one of those old Plaguebearers I had lying around, did an arm swap, and painted him in one sitting:



I hate the guy with the big finger, because he doesn't really mesh well with ANY of the old metals. I have five or six of 'em.
I managed to find an old Ghoul hand with an over-sized knife. The blade was just big enough to pass for a short Plague Sword.

Final pics.

Group shot


The chosen few (5).






@kid I can sympathise on the 'big finger guy' as i also have three of them. So i can now see at least one of them getting a handswap/ orky choppa in the future! (Also what are they thinking about?)

Is there a chance for an extra day?

In Austria the 1st of may is free of work and I really couldn`t get a lot done this month so far - I still need to do all the light effects...

Thank you so mutch!

So here is the pick-5 of what I’ve been up to this month. Crazy productive month. Way back in the day I had an Undead army. Before the split to Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings. I’ve dabbled a little in painting newer models, mostly from the AoS Soul Wars box. Nighthaunt are cool, but my preferred flavor of death is dusty bones and vampiric blood. So from the scrapyard of history, they rise once more. Tattered banners and rusted armor, marching again to war eternal.

Here is the lot of what I’ve managed. The Vampire on foot got a couple day head start on the month, but included here for completeness.


Next up will be the Soulblight launch box, starting with some grave guard. We’ll see how much ends up in the comp. But some of it I want to fast-track to get to the table, and none fits next month, so we’ll see...

Loving the snotling pump wagon.

For this challenge I knew I would be pushed for time as I'm mainly focused on my house extension at the moment so I thought I would raid the scrapheap that can be ebay and found quite a suitable model that I could work with

Proof



Which has now turned into this Ork Scrap Tank, I wanted to go for a very rusty look to suit the scrap theme. I link the results and was happy I managed to get it painted to a decent level and finished Photos on time for once .



Good Luck everyone

I am still not done yet,
but since I want to make shure to enter something,
I`ll upload some pix before I try to not ruin everything with the airbrush tomorrow....

Entering a Frankenmech, slapped together from battlefield salvage.
Hopefully early enough proof:

Wow, we're really hitting an amazing diversity of minis this month. Loving the old (and new) range here!

We Blood Axes is da best clan. 'Cause we trade wiv da uvver clans, so we gets all da best scrap orky know wotz has to offer. Take dese rokkits for example. If I wants ta hit somefin' dead 'ard wiv no mukkin' about, I use dis Goff rokkit. If da target is extra fast and might dodge my shot, I hit 'em wiv dis red one from da Sunz. If ya might miss, and ya gotsta get real lucky, use da blue rokkit from da Skullz. And if you want yer shot ta be real flash and show 'em who's boss, den dis 'ere Bad Moonz rokkit is da one fer da job.

From da Scrapheap, I present Patches, a Blood Axe Kommando Rokkit Boy:








I even made it in under the deadline (for us West Coasters, at least). Great entries so far, and good luck to all who are still trying to finish!

Going to lea e this open for another 24 hours, but go get started on the next month.

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/816443.page

Puh - thx for the dispense! Here are my final results - allmost messed up everything with the Airbrush and had to repaint some parts...

Not going to enter anything this month. I've been struggling with a general malaise, both for painting, and in general for everything going on in the world at the moment. I'll vote as normal, of course. Good luck everyone!

@Pursuit of Happiness: Dumb question, but how did you get the red tint on the canopy? It looks really cool!

ZergSmasher - I used AK 3rd gen clear red, two or three coats. I was going to try blood angels contrast paint if the AK stuff didn't work I think it might have the same effect if you have any.

We all in?

Calling this closed. I’ll try to get the poll up later today, but it might be delayed (maybe by a bit) if I can’t.
