And I'm done!

Turns out that "as far as I can go in my pile of grey knight minis" was "as far as the Terminators"...

So, the initial image:

And the finished bunch (at least finished enough for now. I might go over some details later, but I'm happy to play them this way for now...





The Dreadnought fits right in with the terminators:



And the back scroll of the chaplain, I'm quite happy with that bit:



And just for good measure a "proper" shot of the dreadnought:



All in all it was a very busy month for me outside of the hobby, so I'm happy to have found the time to do these guys...
The lesson I learned is simple: undercoating with a spray can saves a lot more time and headache than the cost of said can. I guess that there will be other cans of spray paint in my near future to continue going through my unpainted minis...

Three more units for my Nomads are done. These guys will be my Tunguska sectorial army when Corvus releases it. I hope it
will be early next year. Too bad I ran out of time to finish the two remotes, need a couple of days to complete them.
Well I painted my favourite mini it was such pleasure to paint him. Kriza Borac, such an awesome sculpt and great design, I just
love it.

I tried again at NMM, still I'm not 100% satisfied. The more I watch painting tutorials the more I realise how crucial the contrast is
so I pushed it even more. Overall I'm happy with the paint job.

Just 1 day left to get those finished entries in. Eek.

Thanks for the support Zerg, you have done really well with the Death Guard Plague Marines, they have quite a good chunky nature to them.

Really good to have you back in the challenge and see you awesome painting again Jan I hope you get him finished.

Great work ChaosDad, you have managed to get loads done this month, I am very impressed.

Still a good entry para, a "rush" for you takes most of us about 2 weeks Hope uni is going well.

You should be very happy with that paint job Modock, just damn good all round really.

kavika0311 you have out produced my year in a month, the bases look and work really well with the Ultras. I like that you have given them a bit of mud splatter on the legs

My entry was going well until last weekend when I got quite sick on the Friday + Saturday then had to go to a wedding on the Sunday. I've been playing with the water effects the last few days and messed up with them but there's now not enough time to redo them properly so the splash effect in the final pics is actually still drying lol, It will go more translucent in a few days.
I'll add too the flurry of activity this evening. My finished model. Grot fishing. I hope you enjoy the very literal interpretation of "hold the line" it was a fun idea to model

OP up to date, I think I've got everyone! Let me know if I missed your entry.

Chris and Midget, lovely work! Both pieces oozing with character, Midget once again going above and beyond with the comedic conversion and Chris, it's great to see you really developing a unique style over the last few months, making use of the almost pastel tones without losing the element of realism or looking too cartoony is mighty impressive.

Damn those look nice. The blend are really good, whereas mine barely show (the lighting obscures it, I need a new lightbox).
Perhaps I could help you with the NMM. My guy is NMM, and while admittedly the gold on the eagle didn't turn out that good the silver is pretty good I think.

Fantastic work from everyone this month! I'm happy to say that I managed to get something done this month - though not the full Start Collecting box, I managed the parts that will be holding the back line of my Mechanicus army; the Dunecrawler and Techpriest Dominus!

See you all next month guys!

To hold the line you must have a line to hold.



Spoiler:








Not quite 100% finished with it, but I'm out of time and can't do the rest without another week of drying/curing time for the various weathering layers.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Wow, loads of awesome last-minute entries! I'm going to be getting home from work at eight, then desperately trying to do the small (but hugely important in my mind) bits and pieces to finish my entry off. Then I'll have to take photos as well. It might be a late night!

Loads of entries now, I'll have to do a rally at the end to see how much has been produced this month

Thanks Modock, Chris56 and Para

I'm impressed you managed to get 30 done KernelTerror, they all look quite terrifying.

Chris56 - That scene is just wonderful. It really reminds me of some of the best dioramas in the Dakka gallery. The colour pallet is fantastic.

Good work NathanD298, you still managed to get a fair bit done to a very good standard

I really like the Tartan Oppl.

Well done on getting those 7 finished ZenBadger, the light shinning on them gives them quite a cool look.

Peregrine - Love the little details you have added like the knife and ammo boxes

HungryTaz - really like the bloodbowl models, you have painted them very well as a well matched team

Well done Vejut, that's a huge pike, you have been very creative

The quality of entries is great. I think midget you've knocked the ball out the park yet again, I'm a huge fan of Oppls entry and Januine has returned on stunning form.


This month I've converted up my own BA triumvirate (Commander Dante, a Captain yet to be named and the Sanguinor). My entry this month is Commander Dante.




I've also painted up Captain is painted but I've not finished my take on the Sanguinor yet =)

I've not really had chance to pop in and see what's been going on for the last few months. This is pretty much the first time I've seen anything from you guys since Sept. Great to see a lot of the usual names (and some new ones!) and all the same great paint jobs. MG, I'm particularly liking your usual comedy take on the theme - great job!

I'll try to get back in the next few days to vote this time around.
