Nice work on the Nephilim there TP!

Ooh nice! love the base and the chipping on the wings!

Black wash on the inside of the canopy worked a treat. Just have to neaten up the missiles and glue them on and then its done!

righto, managed to take some better pics of the stormboyz in decent lighting... final final pics

I repaired him, but I don't have the paints at this house to cover the crack where he was dropped.
I'm not salty, accidents happen.

So I'll submit pics and by the good grace of Para maybe just put "arm broken by tournament attendee" under my title.

We’ve all been there. Breaks happen. But do post your work. A little battle damage just shows you’ve got fight!

Will be interesting to see who wins the battle of the Deathwatch mins, some very strong entires in that sub-challange.

TP^DC Deputy Manager, awesome work on the Nephilim Jetfighter, How did you do some of the streaks on the wings? I was trying to work out how to do something like that on my Triplane but ran out of research time in the end..

Glad you got some better pics in there Zobo, looking good, I like the jet pack effect

I will have to call mine mostly finished now, seem to have been staring at him this week and not getting much done, would have likely to do more weathering on the plane and added a few more bits and gubbins. Still very happy how it turned out in the end. The Fokker bits matched the Deffkopta quite well scale wise.

My entry, Baron Von Orkthofen (the Red Baron) with 80 confirmed kills to his name.






Base reads "Dulce Et Decorum Est"

haha...oh man, that's great MG! love it!

Dropping this quickly before midnight to show I have finished. Will spend the next little bit taking more, better photos.

Awesome stuff folks. MG - love that triplane. Great stuff.
Sock - lovely fig. What's it from? Looks liek a younger Gregor Eisenhorn!

Agreed! Love that as well MG - my fave part is the poor grot trying desperately to hang onto the plane lmao

@Jan - it's a Guild Austringer from Malifaux. Fiddly model wow - awesome job Sock! The details are amazing! They're very fine sculpts.

I agree with Jan and Guildenstern - both MG and sockwithaticket have done a great job. Well done both.

MG - this post has a description of how I did the weathering - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/420/636524.page#8873833

Right, full load of pictures:


I feel like the skin contrasts on the face are a little more pronounced IRL, but photos don't lie, so maybe I'll give it a slight wash at some point. I've doctored the model a little, removing some rope that was just incredibly frail and almost impossible to line up correctly. The satchel was also a pain to attach, as you can see, I didn't quite manage it, but it's far more integral to the model so it had to stay.

Spent a long time thinking about how to do the falcon, pretty pleased with how he's come out. First time I've ever done anything like it. Quite happy with some of the transitions on the coat too.



Jan - cheers, man. Guildenstern beat me to telling you what it is and describing how fiddly the fether was! His scowly, squinty face does bear a certain resemblance.

Guildenstern - thank you muchly. Fiddly and fine is about right. I spent the entire duration of painting him absolutely terrified that I'd snap the falcon's legs. They were by far the worst thing about building him (align damn it!!!)and they're such tiny points of contact. It is a really cool model though and totally worth the hassle. May take a wee break before thinking about doing the other one in the box, though!

TP^DC Deputy Manager - thanks man.

Done!

Yellow Squadron Su-27D Flanker ready for battle!

leaving it 'til the last second, as usual

unfortunately, i didn't get a chance to do anything more than build my Tau Coldstar Commander, so he will have to wait for another appropriate challenge...
i was busy finishing up my contribution for the NOVA Open Charity auction, raising money for Doctors Without Borders...
sadly, Astorath decided that he could fly, and launched himself off of my painting table on Sunday, and exploded...
i got the repairs done, but the convention starts tomorrow, leaving me no time to ship him to DC...
they will just have to use him next year...

the good news is that he fits the theme this month!!!
lucky, that, even if i did paint red again...
i feel like i rushed a bit at the end, but here he is:

Astorath the Grim, Redeemer of the Lost, High Chaplain of the Blood Angels...








i have been so slammed this month, with all of my deadlines converging this week...
i haven't even had a chance to check out everyone's entries yet...
i look forwward to catching up, and seeing what you all came up with...
good luck!!!

cheers
jah

Fantastic stuff Jah. Especially love your scrollwork. Really top stuff

Always liked that figure, cracking job, Jah.

Herald of Slaanesh:
*(Figure damaged by tournament player)

Some great entries coming in at the last minute. I gotta love the Ork Baron's triplane, such a clever model idea! And that Flanker looks pretty sharp as well. And of course, Buttery's herald looks pretty good as well (I couldn't even really tell where any damage to the mini was).

@Sockwithaticket, I agree that the face on yours needs... something. Probably a little more shading round the eyes and eyebrows. Other than that, it looks great, particularly the shading on the coat/cloak.

@Manalishi, that Flanker has come out very nice, particularly the canopy tint.

#walks past another sickeningly good Jah-Joshua entry, routine at this point!#

@Buttery, that's a really nicely shaded model and I genuinely can't spot the damage from those photos, so you're OK

Round 19 (or as I have a feeling it'll become, EldradFest 2016!) is up:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/701190.page#8875310

Vote will be coming up later!

Better photos for the Nephilim:

Thanks for the positive comments all

TY for the link and explanation TP^DC, i'll have to try that next time, it looks very good.

Your painting always looks very smooth sockwithaticket
Manalishi, nice work on finishing, its looks like a very nice piece with the base.
Shame you didnt get your min to the NOVA Open Charity auction, jah-joshua, I bought a ticket the other week.
I can't see any damage in the photos BC, its a cool piece.

Good luck everyone

Love it, TP^DC, that's genuinely my second favourite transport model in 40k.

Cheers Buttery. What's the first?

Birdy Aquila lander. I have a type, okay?

Good choice. I maaaay have bought the crashed Aquila Lander and Imperial pilot from Battle for Macragge off eBay. Would have been rude not to
