Kavika the varnish issue is either humidity or heat usually. There are other reasons but I've had issues when varnishing (Depends how you varnish, a spray can has a much higher risk of any issue) in the heat. I live in N.C. Sometimes with spray cans I will test them on a crappy model or a test model and see, but I've moved to varnishing with the air brush and that eliminates a lot of the issues. Still loving the tanks though!

Thanks for the info man. I live in NC too and that seems like the most likely explanation.

Some beautiful looking models on here.

Some really nice entries so far, this is looking like a good month yet again!

Well done on getting them both tanks finished kavika0311, I do like a bit of dirt around the tracks and sides. Shame about the Varnish but you can't really see it in the photos.

I'm really liking the reds on your model Verviedi, especially the red cloak.

and to echo several other peoples comments the Hellhound with wheel looks very cool STG.

That's a pretty cool model TheDraconicLord, congrats

Keep going SirDonald just a few days left

I'm working as hard as I can to get this model painted, but I don't think I'm going to hit the deadline... I'm not bowing out just yet because I want to finish, but realistically I won't finish. I've only got about 30 hours total to finish it so ya.

Drummernathan we all know how that is! There are days, weeks, months, sometimes even years that we just can't get the time because of so many other things! Like Wife, Kids, Work, Parents, Siblings, Vacations, Total War: Warhammer2! You know all those types of things.

This time it is more of a combination of depression, anxiety, and a lack of motivation to paint vehicles.

Damn, that's a shame, Drummernathan - I really liked your Lord of Contagion.
Hope to see you for scary Halloween month!

haha, so much cool armour around.

Here's my entry, I had no plan of adding a death company dread to my army but I fancied trying to blend some black/greys/blues together and he did very well for his first time on the board (ripped apart a forgefiend, kharn the betrayer then 4 berserkers). I'm sure he should have a scratch or two on him from that fight.

Spoiler:

Moolet that Dread looks incredible! Very nice work!

Nearly ready for paint... Yep, this is totally doable...

Sweet looking Dreadnought Moolet!

Thanks both. I'm becoming converted to Vallejo. I've only 2 pots of theirs, german grey and ghost grey and they are both great to work with compared to Citadel equivalents.

Vallejo is where it's at Moolet! And that Dread is sick! I wouldn't want to tangle with him at all, might have to bring like a Supremacy Armor to even dent his badassness.

I also have German grey and I must it's pure magic: Great tone for painting black.

Is next month's theme just generally spooky/Halloween-y, or are we voting on themes? If it's the latter, I'd like to resurrect the Black and White idea as one possibility.

The former! And I'd really like Black and White to be done, it's been in a few polls now and come close a couple of times but never quite won...

Eventually, I might just run it as a side challenge for the people that want to give it a go, the trouble with it in the main threads is that it's not really any good for people painting towards armies or collections, only those that want to muck about with some new techniques. Unless you paint Black Templars or undivided Warriors of Chaos, in which case it's a win-win!

Or Sons of Malice!

Finished my Deimos Baal Predator:

Finished Gargantuan Squiggoth. Thanks for the motivation!

Cool pred, beautiful red, it really looks like painted steel armour rather than a little model.

Idea for next month, keep a loose SpooOOoky theme but i think an awesome theme would be 'Soundtrack month'. Basically you have to link a youtube video of the song that 'Soundtracks' your mini or diorama. It would be nice and open but people would also 100% have to stick to it: No song: No Entry.

It would be an interesting thing to judge as well because creative choice of song would be a big part of process. A cool/fitting song might make you think twice about an entry.

On a more negative note i really do think any variation on 'SpooOOky' is a weak theme, so should at the most be a secondary theme.

Cheers Perkustin I guess I was successful!

And the winner this month is....life. Sigh.

Lots of good stuff popping up, good luck guys and hope to see you next month...

Finished da Skull´amma!
Da Boyz wuz buzy wiff da paint!

Hope you like it - it was a fun project and I tried some new things.
And I hope my pics are better than the last times - new camera / phone, new lights ...


K D

@Kustomer: Awesome!!!!

That is one awesome brute of a vehicle Kustomer D.

Thx guyz

Life always wins! Titan ALMOST finished, will submit pics tomorrow after furiously stopping time and applying the finishing touches. Man some really awesome projects this month, ARMOR UP! There is so much freaking armor in this post it's scary!

Finished up my swampy, deathworld Tau Devilfish with drones.

Progress report...


nearly there..

Done! Final pics, Scale Armor Ork Freebooter Slugga Boy:

I agree with Metal_Man - there are a bunch of truly awesome projects this month.
Great job, Gulgog, the shading on the pants and skin looks really good.
KustomerD, that tank is balls-to-the-wall mad coolness! I love it.

Here are my finished vehicles. They are part of an army I have just started that I am thinking I'll call the Seekers of Isha. They are an Ynnari force, which is really just an excuse to paint all three Eldar subraces in the same colour scheme. I have almost finished a Viper and Skyweaver that match these and when they are done I just need to paint a whole bucketload of infantry! I am really happy with my speed this month, which I made a bit of a personal challenge this month. Even though the quality is compromised, I think the force will look fairly effective on the tabletop.

Anyhow, forgive the pics - I found it really difficult to get everything in focus and the first pic had to be just on my kitchen bench to fit everything in one shot. A lot of the subtlety is lost in them as well but you get the general idea.

Looking forward to just one small model in next month's challenge and see you all there!
