They're Cyclops battle tanks. They go inside Chimeras.

And I put my wheel to one side for the month as I have a tournament coming up. My entry is now the Yarrick on the previous page.

I'll see about putting Kinder eggs with the Techmarine.

I feel that Australia's child labour laws may differ from your adopted region

Also, I'm obviously painting. My primary skill is having women take pity on me for how utterly inept I am at simple household tasks. We've a nanny coming tomorrow so i can pick the missus up, she'll have the place spotless when she sees my try and vacuum the dishwasher or something. Honestly, it's almost a superpower at this stage.

I've noticed that here in the states Kinder eggs may still be gone, but something called "Yowie" is in Wal-Mart and it's similar. Been trying to get the little white fox on the box art, all I got though is a stupid platypus and penguin.

Oh and Vanquisher Squad lead by Knight Commander Pasquena Kantlrig is finished:

Big ideas for him, but may have to simplify to get him done on time oO

If this wasn't so damn funny and I wasn't so in love with your painting I would totally send them a message along the seeekrit women's message line and tell on you!

Finished my entry!

I really hope that people will cut slack for particularly small models like these Grots, because there is really not that much room for some of the more amazing things that my fellow competitors have been pulling off beautifully on towering figures with spacious surfaces. With that concern voiced, I'd like to introduce you to... (Warning: long spoiler)

I tried to lavish as much detail on each of these Grots as I possibly could. I really hope you guys like 'em close to as much as I'm proud of 'em!

Thought I'd chuck in a WIP post this month. Done all the detail work on the Witchling (though I may need to go back and reshade the fingers) so it will be robes from tomorrow onwards.




As ever there's some seriously impressive work submitted already.

Stormsurge is still coming along despite some slowdowns due to being busy with RL stuff (including seeing Deadpool this afternoon). Most of the basecoating is done with the exception of the main gun, and I can probably knock that out pretty quick. It's still gonna be a close one as far as finishing by the end of the month.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

Thanks, though to be fair that particular bio-titan was apparently born without hearing bio-sensors so the Imperium just has to avoid touch and sight based detection.
