If you're going to murder me with a Dreadnought, at least give me a Dreadnought quote as a parting gift

Something like LET THE PROMETHIUM BURN!

Plasma cannon's looking pretty cool by the way, is it a kitbash? I can't for the life of me remember plasma cannons for Dreadnoughts being available in the regular kit

Sorry, today is not a very witty day. I’ll try to think of something pithy next time you mutate.

The PC is from the venerable dreadnought kit. I did kitbash a MM arm, which might show up in this competition, time allowing.

Both the basic and the Ven dread kits come with AsCs, TLLCs, and powerfists. The ven kit gives you the PC, while the regular kit gets you the ML arm. If you want the other options you need to either kitbash or look elsewhere.

Venerable has one, if my old white dwarf didn't lie.

EDIT:

@ Garrior: Nice to see some Harkanor's Reavers for a change (chaos warband who's armour continuously melts and re-forms). Looking ace so far

Been off work today so managed to get all the blocking in done and the first load of shading done. No pic this time sorry.

Well, since there are only two models I can think of that are really veterans for Tyranids (and neither one is going into my army), I'm going to just enter another hamster. This time it's a Commissar.

I never realized how small humans are compared to Tyranids until I started on this model. I'm a little afraid to paint some of the details.

I wrote the fluff in my head before I discovered the Reavers lol!

I am quite liking the idea of gold trimming with some lava running free on the bigger power armoured areas. Then some bare black power armour so you can tell he isn't completely melting!

I think with the models that I have I will be doing the demon faces inverted, black on top down to red and glowing underneath as though they have pushed up through some lava. I need my new brushes to get here ASAP so I can get started!

Ok, I'm in. First image:

Well, since I'm painting a bunch of Death Company anyhow, I figured, why not join the fun!

The finished work might be 1 model or two, if I can think of a way to make them look good together (they need to be playable units, not posed for a diorama hehe):

See kids, this is why you don't go around talking about Heresy everywhere. Now who wants some more tentacles?

I fell like there's something... NSFW... there...

Got some more work on hengist in today, sorry if the picture is poor I am still messing around with my camera settings with the new whitebox I got.

I was debating this for a few minutes, and I was originally going to go with:



And then it occurred to me, my dead space marine is from my toxicrene kit. I shall just paint up the toxicrene and the dead space marine and enter the whole thing.

So far during the campaign that we've run...this thing has died more to psychic scream than any type of combined fire.... I have no idea how to represent that.

Another quick WIP. Got the first Rust Chipping done.

Final finished entry pics
"Alas......poor mon'keigh"

Here we go. Finally finished up my Solitaire. Soz about the dodgy shots. Camera decided to be a complete tosser this evening. Still - the fella is all done. The original hand bothered me so I amputated the fether, flipped and reattached. Needed something in it .....ah - the head of a cultist from the DV set Anyways - there he is, hope yez like him. Tricky wee fether to paint but fun nonetheless

Nice work! Love the diamonds.

Here’s a WIP shot of where I’m at. Not nearly as fast as some of you, but hey, we get the whole month, shame to waste it.

Paradigm, I have not had time to paint this week, but I will paint this weekend. Just thought you should know.

Cheers Nevlon. First time I've done motley. Didnt want it too regular....more like it was coming from the domino/holo shield.

Those blues you're laying down are lush. Seriously rich. likee likeee!

Alright, figured out what I was doing wrong with image hosting website, and after much deliberation I finally decided that I will build a Boss Nob Biker, and here is my proof picture.

OK - I'm not quite finished building my Big Mek's new ride, but this should keep me focussed on finishing as promptly as possible.

This is Big Mek Squigmek. He's been personally recruited by Ghazghkull to bring the might of his Evil Sunz to the next mighty WAAAAAAgh!

Or something..

Oh man... Not even half way through the month, and already I'm feeling inadequate about my terminators

Januine, the Harlie is top notch!

NidLifeCrisis, Is that big mek walking the squig, or is the squig walking the big mek? (I love your forum name, too )

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And....... Finished

Here is Rocinante a character Warjack. I've always seen the model painted all pretty and factory fresh. I figured he would be all beaten up after a hard campaign.

So here he is. Please let me know what you think.

Still WIP...

but nearly done!

Thanks! I love how this one turned out.

@ KaptinBadrukk, Zambro, angelofvengeance, lliu

Thanks everyone! Yeah it is indeed the new Skitaari walker thingamajig... It was a really cool kit. There's so many cool little gadgets and gizmos in the kit that actually can be made to look really Orky
with a minimum of effort.

I did some more work on Squigmek tonight. Should be ready to spray him tomorrow and then crack on with slapping some paint on!

Sprues for the Finecast Space Marine Terminator Chaplain


The pieces cut and (mostly) cleaned of excess/flash/whatever







The only real big blemishes were at the bottom of the torso: air bubbles that I won't bother with since they'll be covered up once the model is complete.

ive finished up a couple shoulder pads,
half a jump pack, and base coated a pair of legs
