I may even be able to finish my entry. My order of Blood For The Blood God got delayed, anyone know how to homebrew some?

See if you can get Tamiya clear red. It is pretty much the same thing. Either that or you can painstakingly paint on the blood, shade appropriately and gloss varnish.

Finished! My laptop screen died on me, so I didn't get to resize and edit them the way I would have like, but I think the photos turned out okay. I'm happy with the way the mini turned out though, and that's the important part for me. Also, he's the first mini I've painted with the GW-approved minimum number of skulls (8!).
Ork Freebooter "The Headhunter" (final pics):

That's a really neat conversion Gulgog, I may have to "take inspiration" from that!

Finished!!

gakky photos though, i don't have a camera that can do the close-up-ness i want.
Spent ages getting a heat effect on the flamer tips and, again, wasn't able to capture it with my camera.



These are the smallest models i ever painted and it was hard - i tried to give lenses my best, but now you all get to see why your lenses impressed me last month..

New round is up a day early, feel free to start!

Fright Night all done!

I loved this mini when I first saw it, so it was a perfect opportunity to paint her this month. I've become overly used to GW sculpts, so this one was pretty tricky with all the tiny details.
I've been trying to improve my bases as well, so put in extra work on this one. The tree face, mushies, roots and apple are all greenstuff and the spider is one of the 'Nolzur's Marvellous Unpainted Minis' range, which are cheap but actually pretty good. I'm not hugely happy with the photos, though they're not the worst ones I've taken either.

Anyhow, see everyone next month!

Top entry, mate!

Oh no! I lost my proof picture of King Kong so can't enter him this month like I wanted! But here are my other entries for the month!

Throw Kong in if you like, looking back through the thread the proof is still there.

Its getting late and ill post my guy.

We have an extra day, don't we? Could I actually post mine on the 2nd as long as it's not too late in the day?

So my pictures are kinda crap because my phone is old AF. but here i go

Hi All, Happy Halloween.

KernelTerror that custom model looks brilliant and you got the painting done very quick, it looks great

Great work with the lights TheDraconicLord, really imaginative.
Very cool Witch Chris56, I love all the little details
and quite a collection of monster you have there metal_man, good job

Well October has been a pretty terrible month for me hobbywise. I'll add myself to the list of ill people in this thread, I seem to have got about 3 or 4 colds in a row now, they just wont go away. On top of that been rather busy with work and life in general.

I have just about finished but not to the standard I would like and wanted to play a bit more with Photoshopping them into old school batman fight scenes or the only fools and horse scene.

They are still quite fun as they are Its Batork and Robin, da yoof wonda.
Dun-nuh dun-nuh dun-nuh dun-nuh BATORK!

Correctamundo!

Got them done just in time! I need to work on my green stuff skills but I'm happy with the Jacko'lanterns. Hope you all enjoy!

And, the Construct is done. Photos in spoiler.

You hear that? That’s the ghost signal. Binary in the air. Nobody knows what it means, only that it started after the war...

...

Analysis of Unionist rebel found in refuse dumping zone Septimine. Limbs missing, torso torn in half, 30-centimeter claw marks, signs of mauling, face cut in half, skull shattered, and heart absent. Half subject’s weapon was found thirty feet from the corpse, embedded in the ground and torn in half. Damage consistent with a large predator attack.

Was the weapon fired?

Weapon diagnostics report full discharge of forty lasrounds on full-auto.

Omnissiah’s name... there is no fauna left on the planet that can take that much damage and live. Something’s wrong, here.

Another challenge done. I'm celebrating 1 year anniversary Dakka painting challenge . It's been a helluva ride. I can't say it's coincidence but
I did a Khorne bloodreaver 12 months ago which I liked but these guys were fething annoying. Way too busy with all those trims, does not
favour my style of painting.
I painted them in similar fashion as the slaughterpriest. Used a different recipe for the metals but same technique "matt metals" I don't know
how to call it...

Well that's it for now and good luck with voting.

Great job Modock!

I'm close... need the extra day. :(

Well with life and work bumping up my hours I definitely didn’t have as much time to spend on Morty as I’d have liked. I know he isn’t really finished necessarily and definitely not to the standard I like but I will post what I have. Need to do the nurglings still and add some final details to the scythe but Morty is mostly finished and at the very least tabletop worthy!
Decided to stick with my green and copper theme for the army and wanted to take the wings in a different direction so I went for big brown leathery wings! Hope you enjoy! This guys was a doozy to paint. Every time I felt like I made progress...more details appeared.

Sadly, I managed to bungle another one--The pics earlier in the thread of my displacer beast are gonna have to serve as final pics. The additional coat of matte varnish somehow got some white flecks in it, and they're well buried in varnish now. Trying one more coat in case its frosting, but not really expecting much.

Thanks keezus, I hope you can make it till tomorrow.

Top stuff, Modock. Great highlighting and contrast between the plates and trim.

Man, your stuff just keeps getting better and better!

Also loving the Batork and Robin and Mortarion is looking good - I reckon that is one hard model to set yourself for this challenge!

Everyone's entries are amazing. Even If the paintjob isn't top of the line, the model itself looks amazing with lots of imagination. This month has been great for variety.

Thank you, Chris! I appreciate it!

So before i get into posting my finished pictures I decided to add a little extra on top of the verminlord and my mourngul. He is a necron c'tan that I will be using as a cairn wraith for my nighthaunt army. He was a quick and easy addition so thought I'd add him in.

Heres the proof.

Now onto the hopefully good stuff. The vermin lord was for my armies on parade board which won best scenic board at my local GW store.
The mourngul and cairn wraith are for my nighthaunt army.

Gonna have to bow out, the models are almost done but unless I stay up all night until 3am they won't be done. I'm fast realising I won't be able to paint much in my A-Level year. It'll be one model entries from now on.

Finished Mortarion just in time! He's been very fun to paint and it's been great to have a deadline! No airbrush apart from armour basecoat, everything else is handbrushed ^.^ Spilt ALL the flock over my lap doing the base though... -.-

Zombie! Braaaains!

Model: Zombie Girl
Range: Knight Models 70mm

Didn't have enough time to finish the base to satisfaction... but here it is! Gunning for the full year this time! Can't crap out now! A few other views under the spoiler tag. Couldn't get any closeups with my rubbish phone camera, but I'm reasonably happy with how the face turned out.

My pictures are incoming! I should have them uploaded in about an hour if that's okay. Sorry all!
