That my friend is one cool looking model. If you need a home for it after the 2 minute use time then i will always welcome stray terrain piece into a loving and welcoming home.

Really loving the witch and that is how to accessorise a terrain piece.

P.S how did you do the skin any tips. Thinking of a human looking slaaneshi daemon army.

Excellent work on your entry Chris!

I like the skin tone and the purple hair on her. There's a huge amount of details which bring the piece to life, it must have
taken you quite some time. Well done mate, extremely well done.

Thanks, guys!
I really enjoyed this project - something a bit different.

N1ceguypaul - the skin is cadian flesh, shaded by mixing with rhinox hide and highlighted with reaper ivory. The blue is meredius blue by P3.
Looking forward to seeing your finished board!

Not sure what's happened with the colours in the photo. Most of it looks fine, but the eye is actually quite a bright blue.

Apologies, I haven't had chance to tidy up the photos as much as I would normally like; my computer is severely ill, so just being able to upload them counts as a success!

I’m done, but my camera battery is dead, and it looks like I forgot to charge the spare. So here is a placeholder phone picture, hopefully I can get some better ones before month’s end.

Well, I managed to get my old school blood bowl minis done with a fairly old school paint job. Hopefully, this challenge will now encourage me to paint up the whole set!





Definitely some cool and creative stuff this month. @Bottle- wow those dwarfs are great! I particularly like the range of hair colors on the epic beards.

It’s all fun and games until you crash the lander...

Can’t say that I’m particularly fond of painting terrain. This comp was a decent motivator to get this off the to-do list though. Been sitting around since 4th edition. Not the oldest thing loitering on the back of the bench, but up there.

Done as much as I'm going to this month. I'm probably going to expand this out later though-it was quick, easy and fun.
As I found out when I was taking photos, it's not modular per se, but it's definitely similar enough that you can put it together and do stuff with it.
This should make our Warmachine games much more interesting.

So the worst part of this months competition was trying to get tidy pictures. Hopefully ive done better to show off with this. If not and it looks shocking will upload all individual shots.

Here goes.

The army thats going to be gracing the board is a skaven army and it is going to be the Island Of Blood. Kind of thought that i coukd create a kind of Realm of Echoes that shows flash backs to great and defining moments from the world that was.

Now got to paint an island of blood skaven set and extras. Prob gonna see if i can get the griffon done to battle something oh so furry on the cliff top.

At the moment theres still charge from the solar light in the light house but gonna be putting green led lights inside the tower. Hopefully looks ok.

Last minute entry from me this month! Painted about a week ago but I totally forgot to take the pics!

Proof


This was going to be one of a set of 3 Badab War themed objective markers, but time got away from me this month so for now it's just this one, depicting a pair of Howling Griffons on the battlefield, one grievously injured.

Really Nice work N1Paul, would love to see the combined Pic a bit bigger so we can see all the detail, very impressed you got it all done

A bit of a rushed end and post I'm not finished but I will have to call it a day, I am rushing things and starting to make mistakes. I seem to be a bit over ambitious with my time these last few challenges. Still a lot of highlighting to do and would have loved to have tied the banner to the poles with rope/GS. But I'm still proud of the work it seems to have come out exactly how I imagined it and I got a few of the little details in.

Hope you enjoy Whack-a-Snotling

It looks great, MG. Properly funny entry.

Paul - fantastic work. I can't believe you got that done in a month! All built from scratch - amazing! The sea looks great, and I love the vines climbing up the lighthouse.

@keezus - great paint on a cool cartoony mini.

@n1ceguypaul - awesome work, it looks fantastic! I look forward to seeing some of the little furry buggers to go on it.

@Midgetgems, yet another wicked take on the theme - is there anything you CAN'T do with orks!?

PS - you must have one awesome display at home...

I finished my 6 wooden crate objective markers. Making and painting these was not much "fun and games", but it will enhance the fun of games to come. Final pic:

I'm afraid I didn't get to finishing mine, July has been an absolute b***h for the possum household.

I've actually got an entry almost finished but don't feel right trying to pass it off as done by the 31st

As penance I shall instead endeavour to comment on all entries

Good luck, and look forward to voting!
