Nice work, Polonius. The etch makes an effective designation marker. Llamahead - I use supeeglue, very carefully applied. If there's a better way I'd love to find out, though since it can be messy and overflow at times.

**ZergSmasher**

Here's my latest completed 40k mini and my first actual Dark Angels model of the year- the 30th anniversary Imperial Space Marine:

More pics can be found in my P&M blog (see my sig).

**Llamahead**

Dictator and a Silverback stride into combat

I also decided to loot one of the Wolfs for my Orks

This is as I like my Imperial tanks in company strength formations.

**JoshInJapan**

Ten more orc skulks:

More here.

**Slinky**

Nice work, all!

Now the weather is nice enough to get some varnishing done I have finished off the Uruk Hai from my basing queue:

Should have finished Nazgul and Dunedain to show off soon too

**JoshInJapan**

I finished my Krudger on Slasher for the orcs:

More here.

**Slinky**

I like that, Josh - Disturbing, but in a good way

I have got a few more LOTR bits varnished and based:

**JoshInJapan**

Thanks, Slinky. Here's another one:

More here.

**Manalishi**

Finished my pledge for march, also entered these in the dakka painting challenge:

**Llamahead**

Manalishi all that heavy metal makes my Cougar feel rather inadequate.

**ZoBo**

G'day, lots of good stuff here

...and I almost forgot about posting something this month!

...I only really managed one model, but it's a nice model

Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders Legion

Spoiler:

**Azazelx**

Awesome stuff guys. Cool looklimng Mechs up there, Llamahead and I love that trio of Dreadnoughts, Manalishi. Very cool indeed. I need to get my own ones done someday. And ZoBo, your Vulkan looks great though I can't approve of the livery you've painted on the poor blighters on the base!

**ZoBo**

noticed a couple of things I had to touch up...just updated the pics

@Azazelx - cheers, and I just had to paint those poor chaps like that, as he's probably going to be spending a good deal of time beating up Manalishi's dudes

**Azazelx**

Did you add the blue-grey to the brickwork? It looks effective against the grey of the smashed bricks. if they're going up against Manalishi's IW, then it makes sense. I guess.

Here's something else I (finally) finished this last month - a Bones Hydra. It's a monster. That's a unit!

More here.

I'll have to double-check and see if there are any other units I finished this month that I haven't put in here...

**Archer**

With everything going on I didn't get much done. Which is disappointing as I got these two done in the first week of this month and then no progress since......

**Huginn**

Finally got something painted - hurrah! These I class as Picts for Saga, though I could possibly also use them as Scots or even Irish at a pinch.

**Slinky**

Gorgeous, well done!

**ZoBo**

ooh...nice work!

**Azazelx**

Beautiful work, Huginn - especially on the tartan. What are those models?

**Huginn**

Thanks chaps. These are Mierce Miniatures, the Albainn range of spearmen. You can get them in metal now, makes them more game friendly.

**JoshInJapan**

I'm taking a little break from the orcs:

More here.

**Dysartes**

Finally finished something myself a week or two ago, but only remembered to post it today:

A group of C'thu C'tharacs

Four Infant C'tharacs - 18 eyes on each of the blighters!

The adult C'tharac

Nice to see the completed GoG Sniper, Josh - I've got most of her done, but had been struggling with inspiration for the armour panels and fatigues.

**Llamahead**

Desert Camo Spectre to vary things up a bit and give me an Opfor for Horizon wars

**Huginn**

Dark Ages archers, as not seen at Salute.

These are Drabant Miniatures, two thirds vikings and one third Saxons - they don't have a huge range. Pretty nice for historicals.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
For some reason my little flag is now American. Nothing against the US, but I'm a Brit!

**Archer**

Huggin your work is exceptional. Such an amazing natural look to your figures. Really impressive.

**angelofvengeance**

Those archers are awesome Huginn

. Solid effort!

**Llamahead**

Brilliant stuff even more surprising range I hadn't heard of! What else do they do?

**JoshInJapan**

Man, those archers make me want to step up my game.

Here are the Ghosts of Gaia, all finished:

More here.

**Azazelx**

Here's a set of 6 Hellhounds from 1st Edition Descent: Journeys in the Dark. Also moonlighting as a regiment of cavalry in Kings of War.

More here.

**Llamahead**

Just got an Assassin finished in the desert scheme
