Awesome - I really suggest posting them with links to the dakka gallery so that we can *easily* admire them in all of their glory! (I have done so for you below)

I was just about the mention that. Also, this model reminds me of the old adage "Never bring a sword to a Dakkasaurus fight."

A vintage quote if ever I've heard one.

Some great entries to close out the month, folks!
@Maharg- love the palette on those orcs, the skin and bronze armour work wonderfully together.
@Chris56- still better thsn most of us wven when you're a little rusty! Always a fan of fallen Stormcast.
@Freya- magnificent as predicted, but what I love most is the single purity seal, as if some slightly mad techpriest has looked at this and gone 'Yeah, that'll do. Approved!'

Thank you. I wanted to try something interesting with him and ended up getting super inspired. Like the "jurassic park" WAAAGH logo I freehanded. Was just some brainchild of my drunk mind one day.

Yeah... at one point I was kicking myself cuz I had a week left to paint the entire armor in NMM and I was so worried I'd fail... like I almost just didn't wanna finish this month at all because of it. But... I took the plunge into oil painting NMM and i have to say, I agree with you. This look is pretty solid and I don't think I could have done it justice in TMM.

Great round so far! Here are my SCE:
These were reasonably fun to paint & I think I'll stick to this scheme for the rest of 'em. Need to add some more glowy effects to the hammers tho, they look a bit boring this way.

Ooo, they look so much better than the GW “golden boys” paint scheme! They look like they belong in some Classical Greek myth or something.

Also loving the orcs Maharg and MG.
Here is my entry after a few months away. It is meant to be Papa Nurgle taking over and corrupting a stormcast eternal, the rust and corrosion corrupting the shiny nmm armour. I think the idea mostly works...
It was interesting picking up a brush - my hand/eye coordination needs to be remembered but it felt good.
I am really happy to have something finished...now Maharg and MG have me hankering for some orks!!!
See everyone in Halloween month I hope!
Thank you Chris, lovely how you have made the rot/infection seem like its spreading across your model (and the base is rather good too) I need to think what I can dress my Orks up in this year for Halloween
My finish Pics (main camera is RIP so just phone shots, guess thats going to have to go on the xmas list)
Damn it forgot the grots toes!

Still got the weekend if you want to go back and fix it.
I hate pics that show all the flaws in my work. Which is most of them.

Thank you I think SCE sculpts have got so much better than the first cartoony waves, but that golden paint scheme ... yeah, well. But then I remember how WHFB Ogre Kingdoms initially arrived with this weird greyish skin-tone, so maybe GW will also eventually re-think the SCE colour themes ^^

Final Images
@Nevelon: I’ve uploaded these at the last minute, only to discover that Dakkadakka isn’t displaying images because of an update. I uploaded nine images and was going to post the best five, but now I can’t see which image is which. I’ll whittle them down once images are being displayed again, but if you get around to compiling the poll thread before I do, please just pick the five you think are best.
EDIT
All fixed now.
Final images in the spoiler for size.

The gallery here was a little wonky today, but hopefully is fixed now. If anyone was having problems uploading, just pop a placeholder post here letting me know. It’s still technically the weekend here for a few more hours, and I’m not going to have a chance to start on the poll until after work tomorrow anyway. I’ll formally close this one tomorrow morning. If I notice any dead links to pics, I’ll reach out to people. Automatically Appended Next Post: OK, It’s morning here, weekend’s over, back to work.
I’ll start compiling the vote thread, you start painting for Halloween!

Okay, so I wasn't able to quite finish even with the extension, but I still want to provide proof that I've been working on it:
Vampire:
Dragon:
Base:
All together (in current state):
I'll add final pics once it's completed.

I just finished my dinner and am going to pour myself a drink and start putting together the vote thread. Should be about 2 hours if anyone needs to edit a post last second. Automatically Appended Next Post: Is anyone besides me having problems seeing DV8’s entry? I’m getting dead link/server not secure errors.
I sent him a PM, but if it’s just me I can finish up the poll and post it. But going to pause it until that gets straightened out.

They should work again once the certificate issue is fixed... Thanks for getting that up. With Dakka upgrading and my own computers doing so as well, wasn’t sure if it was me or something else. Fixed with that image for now. I’ve put up the poll: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/801270.page#11231067 Go Vote! As an aside: Could people get in the habit of putting a title/description of their entry with their final pics? A lot of the time I just give it my best guess, sometimes based off of the tags/names of the pics. There are a lot of minis and games out there, and that’s even before we get into self-scupted or obscure kickstarters. For some I can go back through the thread and look at the proof pic/ WIPs for clues, others less so. Some names do need to be trimmed for brevity, but a lot deserve more than I can give them. Nothing required, but it might help at the polls if your work was better described.
