I'm gonna have to bow out, there's no way I'm finishing this unless I stay up all night, and I've got a flight to catch at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Best of luck to those of you who will be, like I usually am, finishing on the last day.

Here are my final pics. This is quite early for me to be finished, but the truth is I'm going away to my parents for a week tomorrow so it's still very much last minute as usual!











Quite an enjoyable paintjob to do, not least because over the last couple of months I had decided (in order try to clear some of my backlog) to paint 100 miniatures before I allowed myself to buy anything else, and immediately embarked on 25 Dark Angels marines and 21 Star Wars Legion Stormtroopers. This got boring quickly. I finished 10 marines before deciding "screw it" and buying the Soul Wars box and switching back to painting stuff I wanted to paint rather than stuff I (wrongly, as it turned out) thought I could paint quickly. It's also the reason I chose something small and simple last month, as I know how to paint Super Dungeon Explore stuff in a simple but fun anime style. Overall, the 100 miniatures thing was a stupid idea. Never turn your hobby into a chore.

Durthu also has the bonus that I will actually use him on the table. He's a terrifying whirlwind of death in my Sylvaneth army, an army that usually loses to n1ceguypaul's ghosts or Stormcasts. He's responsible for most of the moral victories I achieve in the course of my defeats.

Great job as always, felt - Durthu looks awesome. The contrast of tones in the bark and orange transitions really make him pop.
Also loving the rust and weathering, Midgetgems - we must have posted at the same time last comment, 'cos he wasn't there before!
I know how you feel, CREED. Hope you have a good trip.

Anyhow, I am probably going to enter an ork as well. An orruk brute to be precise - I will post a proof pic later today. I'm going to have to just ignore everyone to get in some painting done! My very first entry ever was from the same box set and I didn't get him finished in time - I hope that is not a bad omen...

Finally, near the end of the month, my entry is finished. Here are my final pics of my Dark Angels Primaris Repulsor:



This model was an absolute blast to get painted. It is truly one of my favorite Space Marine models of all time, and to me, just screams "Mighty" for the theme this month. Feel free to vote for these pics in the Dakka Gallery even if you don't vote for it in the actual challenge voting thread. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with, too!

ooh yes, crackin' work there Felt!

...and Chris! you were calling me a madman, and you're just thinking about starting yours now, with like 2 days to go?? good luck!

Fortunately, mine is waaayyy smaller than yours, ZoBo.

Just sent the kids to bed...time to get cracking!

good point ...on that note, no excuses then, get crackin'!



...allrighty then...I'm done with Rotigus...man I sure do love painting some good gross nurgle stuff

pics: (spoilered for size, and for the benefit of the squeamish )

Blimey, we've got some exciting last-minute entries coming in here!

ZoBo, that's disgusting (I mean that of course in the nicest possible way!.

Felt, that's just lovely use of colour and hue, topping even your last big tree fella. You really have a knack for taking what would otherwise be quite monotone models and really giving them some pop!

I am done too! Razgor the Warbringer painted like my Goliath character in DnD.

Lots of drybrush on this one. Im happy with how he turned out although I do see a few little mistakes now on the photos. And those moldlines really show.... Lesson learned. I should spend a little more time in the preparation of my models so they look better when painted.
Also Im not sure i like the sword... Its kinda plain but i dont know what to do... maybe some rust or blood will do.

Got a little sidetracked with Kill Team stuff this weekend, but finished off my Slamguinius today.

Some pics with and without flash to hopefully show off the paint better.

Hi!
This is my first entry for this glorious competition. Although some of the entries that some of you have posted are quite intimidating, I love this kind of competition. Having a clear deadline really helps me getting things done.
I'm currently on vacation in Scotland, so I'm extra happy that I was able to finish my tank.

Pretty sure i can get the bases done today.. otherwise they are finished in my mind.. either way will submit something by the end of day tomorrow. Im happy with how they look.. and the guy ill be playing mostly against is kinda intimidated by them..

Lots of entrees this month, good luck

@Rouven - ohh yes!...that is a bloody lovely looking Crawler there mate!...nice work!

Here is my finished Forgefied. Turns out doing a plasma effect with just a brush is harder than I though, fun model to paint though.

Wow, so many great entries here!

@feltmonkey: Your Durthu looks awesome! I'd never have thought, that brown and blue works so well together! And the orange highlights are really making the mini stand out without being too intense. Great choice of colours!

@Rouven: I love your tank! It's such a great paintjob!

Well, the ork got finished at least!

Here he is...the photos are rubbish but all of my gear is in storage while we renovate the house. If I can, I'll try to get some better ones if I have time tomorrow...








Finished.

yeah, bit blurry on the pics, still looks bloody nice though!

Well, cannon is done, will try to have pics up tonight, though probably pretty late...just gotta try to finish up the guncrew...

My finished entry....

Wasn't able to finish the full squad of 5 as I'd hoped, but at least I have something to enter. I don't know that some humble Terminators can stand up to these incredible entries this month, but here they are!

Wow what a great page of entries, some really cool pieces.

Thanks Chris yeah I noticed we posted at very similar times last post
Impressed you got the model done in a day thats almost para speed! Lovely NMM on the sword

Well Zobo you sure know how to disturb us, you really do get the decaying flesh spot on and the toe nails

Your first entry is awesome Rouven, I have a feeling you will be getting a lot of votes for it

Great work on getting 3 done Porphyrius, they look good as a squad.

My Final Pics for the looted Dreadknight, think he turned out OK, made a few mistakes but it was nice to do a proper conversion again

Holy warp, this is probably one of the best edition of 2019 so far, congratulations to all !

Waiting for my dullcoat to dry, will have pics up tomorrow morning!

Got them done. Not to the quality I'd like, but that was going to happen. Sorry to bring the average down KernelTerror!

Congrats to everyone that finished but this guy isn't going to be finished in time.



Took way longer than i thought getting it prepped and assembled and there was way too much detail left to get finished in time. But i'm pleased with how its progressing so hopefully it will be ready for a family photo soon.

I will just leave my friend Carrowek here...off to bed, see ya later for comments.

@Midget Gems - ohh yes!, that's turned out great man, love it!


....aaand BOOM!...enter Modock!


...ohh man, there's some real tough competition this month...the poll for this one is gonna be insane!

sorry bout the pic quality not used to the kindle for taking them... and its 0333 here on the first... but somewhere is still the 31st so im posting. very much happiness over how they both turned out... alerielle ended being a coaster for one of my sister's friends who is never allowed back over here.. had to reglue her wings and arms tonight. discovered that gw cididal glue sucks for gluing.. ended up using thecheepo dollorstore stuff after gw started to melt the plastic instead of bonding it.


I will try and take daylight photos if it dun rain all day long today. ive finished the old projects I started for these contests last year.. just never posted as missed deadlines..

Finished:
