yeah, he did turn out pretty great man, nice work ...nice-sized pics this time too
...if I had to pick on something though, the green goop on the base could maybe use a little shading, it's a bit too much just flat uber-green
...kinda makes me think of this a little too much

...hmm, that reminds me though, I've gotta get around to taking new pics of my entry, my current "finished" pics still have the old version of the base

Thanks !

It actually does have a green glaze on it that adds some shadow, but I just cant get a picture big enough to show all the small details :( Dont know why im having such issues this time around.

Mirvillis, Baron of Allmoon, is finished. The toughest model I have ever done so far. The filigree was very painful to paint, even with NMM. And I've got a whole host of Alahan to do in this way, too. Best get cracking .....

Hi. Did you use the UHU glue for the gore? I can't find that in my area and was wondering if you used something else.

**gohkm**

Yes, I used gel type UHU glue mixed with Tamiya Clear Red.

WIP:

gohkm - that's really nice, an unusual armour colour, but well realised.

That's coming out awesomely mate, very clean look forward to the final product

**Nevelon**

Some more rough basecoats:

Plugging along...

**Nordicus**

After battling with taking proper photos for a few days, I hereby declare this the best Image I can take of the damn thing. It's too big for my lightbox :(

**angelofvengeance**

Lovely job with the Word Bearer Knight there. Love the cuneiform script and the horns on him

**King Pariah**

Probably a good thing that you couldn't get it in a light box, it looks intimidating with the shadows

**ZergSmasher**

More progress on my Bloodthirster:

Most of the Bloodthirster's actual body is now done, now I have to do his weapon and armor, plus the flames and skulls on the base.

**sockwithaticket**

Soldier0Fortune - thank you very much.

Nordicus - no worries, I agree with King Pariah, even if you can't fully showcase the beast it looks extra menacing half shrouded in shadows like that.

**angelofvengeance**

That Bloodthirster is looking great Zergsmasher

**Januine**

Some awesome stuff coming in here! Nordicus - don't change a thing; the backlighting really works - big fella looks brilliant with it. Lovely job there Zerg; really liking those grey leathery wings.
I need to get my thumb out and actually get a start on The Nurse *sigh*

**Buttery Commissar**

Well, even if it's not allowed, this is what I'm painting.
He got stolen in the middle of the previous month (Relic) and his pole is quite badly damaged. Apart from the face, everything is basic single coloured.

**El-Torrminator**

Second one done - Diala Passil:

Spoiler:

**ZoBo**

righto, updating my final pics, in decent lighting, with the re-worked base...definitely calling it "done" this time, pretty happy with it

....and sorry para, next month I'll try and actually make sure my entry is finished before I say it's finished, so you don't have to keep tinkering with my entry in the OP

Spoiler:

**Januine**

Superb stuff Zobo

**KingmanHighborn**

Don't know if I can get done by the dead line but here we go:

**tatt2014**

150mm, 6" FW Space Marine conversion

**lipsdapips**

I'm late in, but here's my entry!

Proof:

Crikey - lovely work KB.

Ok so after doing a little more base coating for Karlaen I dropped him and he fell to bit's.

However it may have actually been quite fortuitous as I've been able to get a bit more done but doing it in smaller section's.

I've now got the base coats almost done and just a few other bit's to do before I start the washes.

It annoy's me that he has a gold Aquila though as I thought all BA Aquila's were black.

oooh...yeah, I must admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for nicely detailed vehicle interiors

...and as an ork enthusiast, I like how the the biggest buttons on those consoles are red

**kb_lock**

Thanks guys, hopefully I can get it sealed tomorrow night, then I can start actually working on the tank. The level of bling on the exterior of these things is ridiculous.

That thing, is awesome ! I agree it looks menacing in the shadows. I'd love to see close ups of all the fine details on it someday, those shoulder pad scrips look very detailed. Nice work !

THAT has some serious potential. Really cool idea for the wings.

**Nodri**

Special Commanders for my Dropzone Commander Post-Human Republic army are complete!

You can always go ahead and paint it black if you want?

**El-Torrminator**

Jyn Odan done now, next two are basecoated so should have them finished over the weekend:

**ssisal**

This is a wip shot, not happy with the bases. But the hero's turned out awesome. The barbarian looks alot like heman. For my first attempt at flesh, I'm very proud of them.. and that dwarf... and elf...)
