Hey thanks guys! It takes a lot for me to just buy a model cause I want to paint it, I think these things are too cool to pass up.

Hey guys, put the finishing touches on the Brutes !!

I was originally going to paint designs on the armour, but I have decided to abstain until I am 100% certain, so for all intents and purposes this is FINISHED !

A little background to explain the armour style choice :
I am not 100% on which Sigmar army i'll do, but the Orruks are down to the final 2, and I have decided if I do stick with these boys I will be doing a primarily Savage Orc (aka Bonesplitterz) army , with support elements from the Ironjawz due to their awesome sculpts.

SO , with this in mind, I decided to NOT do metal armour as is tradition with Ironjawz, but rather make it actual primitive Bone that has been carved and shaped down into armour. I think this will then make the Savage theme complete when I run a mix of the two !
The skull face paint doesnt hurt either

Here is my finished entry

Awesome stuff SoF

Thank you !

I had a couple of possible theme ideas for next month:

Irregulars: entries should be some kind of rabble rather than polished regular military. Things like conscripts, cultists, probably anything to do with Orks, etc.

Technological Superiority: this could be interpreted in many ways...

How about: I need more Dakka!!! ?

Got more work done on "Bob" - finished up skin. Just need more details, the metals etc. Base is almost complete.

Bob is superb Guildenstern. Great job

'Bob' is looking great, well he looks horrendous but also looks great ...

I'm loving the brutes, soldier of fortune, I really like the bone armour thing. I'm tempted to get a pack of them and convert them up as meganobz.

Talking of which, I attempted one of my first conversions/kitbash of a model. I needed a mega-armoured warboss and I didn't want the ghazz model. Before painting him I was really unsure whether he'd turn out decent but I'm very happy with the results. I also had an evening where I wanted to mess around with some decals, so I attacked this fella with them. So, to anyone who is unfamiliar the ork decal sheet, most the fine details are decals and not my handy work (unfortunately).

From behind his welding mask, the warboss yells 'Unleash the Beast!!!!' (you've seen what this little guy can do with a mushroom!).

That warboss looks awesome, very cool conversion and very imposing looking. Paint job is fantastic love the wear and tear. I'll admit when I had Orks in 40k I also didn't like using the Ghaz model as a base for Warbosses but never made one up myself. This is the kind of thing I definitely have in mind Well done !

Love the idea of the caged grot as his personal killing machine

@Moolet - that is a great looking megaboss! plenty of armour and an appropriate amount of lights and gizmos ...ah man, I've been wanting to do something like that for a long while now, this's making me want to even more - love the mean-looking little caged snotling too - he'd make for a good lucky stikk too

@Soldier0Fortune - that bone armour's a great idea! I never thought about that...fits great with feral/snakebite orruks/orks...they'd make great snakebites meganobz like that actually

FINISHED!

Thanks!

Yes they definitely would... When Ironjawz dropped I had no interest in doing Sigmar, but I had thought the Gore Gruntas would make amazing Nob Bikerz and Brutes Mega Nobs , and of course the new imposing warboss as himself for a Snakebites army

thanks guys hopefully will post final pic up here in a while, need to take a better pic of Bob now he's done

@Moolet - that is so awesome love it lol

@Whittlesey40k - wow that came out beautifully!

Next month suggestions:

Fires O' War (not flames so's to not get mixed up with a certain game) - Fiery deaths, Flamethrowers, "go fast" fire stripes... all kinds of interpretations

the Light Brigade - could be calvary, could be modern "steeds" (warbikes), could be the opponents facing the Brigade

@Jadenim: Loving the Native American kroot master.

@Para: Great Ghaz there. Really like the level of weathering/wear n tear.

Big Daddy Genestealer is coming along :-) Feeling a bit pressured to meet the deadline though!

@Bottle: That 'stealer looks good enough to enter now! Nice clean lines.

@Buttery: I don't care about the proof - enter the dog!

@S0F: I really like the face paint on those Orcs. And overall a nice sharp paintjob.

@Guild: I don't know what Bob is, but I like him!!

Really looking forward to seeing all the finished entries. Lots of variety this month.

Unusually for me I've finished with some time to spare:



The Eviscerator is the beast part of the model, but I like to think the marine kind of looks the part too with the up-armoured parts I've used. As 'Unleash The Beast' sounds like a command I wantd him to look very static, but ready, lik he's waiting for the order.

Finished my entry too :-)

Love that pose sockwithaticket! Where did that eviscerator come from?

Cheers, Jadenim. It's from the Forgeworld MkII / III power weapon set.

Awesome Broodlord, Bottle . He looks fantastic!

Hey guys sorry I have been very inactive on the boards the last few weeks, think I've missed about 4 pages. RL is making me very busy atm and when I do get a few minutes peace its spent slowly paining my entry.

Heres a WIP of the Ork Stegadon, I'm quite behind where I wanted to be at this point in the month. Beast is mainly done, AA gun is base coated and Ork controller not started or built.



A week left now so I hope people are faring better than me and get there entry in, keep going you can do it

Love the work, MG and Bottle, really charming stuff!

I finished early for once! This is the first Goff I've ever painted; once I picked out the Stormboy head, all I could see was the black/grey/white color scheme. Here's my Goff Big Shoota, Unleashing the Beast!

Finished pics!

I finished one It's not my best work ever, but I'm proud of myself for finishing it and that's what counts

I'm really struggling to get my bear finished. Sections are completed, but there's still some quite large areas that are just basecoated, including half of the nmm, the most complicated bit of the whole model. I only managed to get about an hour and a half to paint today, starting after 11pm, and all I managed to do was get a basecoat on the leather straps. The slow, painstaking, inefficient way I paint, I'll spend hours trying to get them looking sort of like leather. I reckon there's probably at least eight hours work still to do, and Thursday is the only time I've got to do it in. After that I'll still need to get it photographed! It's going to be tough.

Sorry, there's no actual point to this post.

Thanks for the heads man! Although a shame I didn't make the little preview window :p

Yeah loads of great entries from everyone already and I expect a sudden flurry before the month end!

So, to start off that flurry:

Reaper Pig-Demon. Removed the wings, greenstuffed over their sockets, and turned him into the champion for an eventual unit of these guys, probably eventually to become a guardian brute unit for KoW.
