Time to pick a theme for next month's challenge! As always, 2 days to get your votes in. Your options this month are:

Might Makes Right: While some combatants resort to magical tricks or sneaky subterfuge, many armies and factions boast leaders and warrior for whom sheer martial prowess and force is the true path to victory. From a Terminator Armour-clad Space Marine to a mighty Orc chieftain, your entry should be a model that represents great physical strength or power.

Objective Secured: What is a battle without something to fight over? Your entry should be something usable as an objective marker, and can be anything suitable for this, from a fancy terrain piece to a small diorama.

Outgunned, Outmanned: Every universe has its underdogs. From the Juve in the Underhives of Necromunda to the humble militia of a rural village, your entry should represent a force or individual who typically face foes vastly more dangerous than themselves.

Cutting Edge: Technology can tip the balance of any battle. Your entry should be something that deployed advanced weaponry or equipment to the battlefield, from the engineer manning an fearsome war machine to the Tau Commander in a state-of-the-art battlesuit.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Picked Outgunned, Outmanned. I'll be working on my Necromunda gang the next few months, and have a Juve already built, just need to put some paint on him.

**Rybrook**

I chose might makes right.

I have Commander Macragge sitting on his throne with 2 bodyguards, just need to find a titan base to fit it all on

**LordRahl**

i have some objectives that need to be painted...

**Porphyrius**

Might Makes Right sounds like a great excuse to paint up my Tartaros Terminators.

**Nevelon**

Voted for cutting edge. Got some primaris that could use some work.

**ZergSmasher**

I voted for Cutting Edge, as like Nevelon I have plenty of Primaris Marines that need to be painted. I could do something for most of them if they get picked though.
Might Makes Right: Possibly a couple of Knight Armiger Helverins, or else I'm sure I've got a couple of Marine characters that could fit the bill. Even Terminators, although I have little need to paint them seeing as they suck in game.
Objective Secured: This one would be very tough for me. I really don't have any objective markers of any kind, nor do I think I can easily throw any together. Possibly I could do some of the terrain type stuff from Dreadball Xtreme, as there are a couple of goals in there.
Outgunned, Outmanned: Tau Pathfinders are often placed in grave danger as they scout ahead of the main force, so they would probably be my entry.
Cutting Edge: Primaris Hellblasters would most likely be my entry, as they fit the bill in addition to needing to be painted anyway (for a big tournament in a couple of months).

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Might makes right. I can hold off painting my ironclad for 4 days np. I still need to paint something for this month.

Nothing like the next month’s poll going up to remind you to get cracking at the workbench!

(just put a few more washes on my scouts)

**ServiceGames**

I may be entering this challenge for the first time this month, so I'm curious about some of the rules. When do the challenges start? At the beginning of the month? Can I use a model or models that have been assembled and primed probably over a year ago but haven't yet been painted?

Thanks

SG

You can see all the rules in the OP of any of the threads, but to answer those specific questions, they start on the 1st of each month and yes, you can enter assembled/primed stuff so long as you haven't started the actual painting yet, you just need to submit a picture showing it in the state it's at at the start.

Excellent! Thank you!

Might makes Right ! I finished scratch building a chaos knight weeks ago, it would have been ready for july. But since I am an idiot, I completely destroyed its torso this afternoon as its core component 'would make a nice reactor for a dreadclaw'.
Still doable though.

**craggy**

Chose the objective one. Would be an interesting project. But if Might Makes Right wins I've a good project in the planning stages to fulfill the requirements.

**Rybrook**

I hope the results stay similar, I just bought a resin flagstone base

**ChaosDad**

Well, I do have this lady in need of some painting....

I guess that exalted greater Deamons qualify for Might...

**Nevelon**

That many sharp and stabby bits looks more “cutting edge” to me

But yea, lots of might there as well.

**Midget Gems**

I was on holiday so missed the vote but might is right works for me

Probably I'll do an Ork related entry

**craggy**

Looks like I'll have to build my Slamguinius after all. Lucky I've got a ton of Marine kits coming.

**Manalishi**

*looks at pair of baneblade chassis on desk*
Yeah, I think I'm pretty set for this theme

**Gulgog TufToof**

It seems somehow fitting that might makes right should win for a war gaming poll.
