You dudes know you're supposed to supply an unpainted picture from now, and then begin painting, right?

Nah, honour system is fine. If one were to cheat at a prizeless painting competition of man dollies, they clearly need the validation

I'm afraid I can't allow you to enter that mini then. It's great, and I recall being very impressed with it when you posted it a while back, but the challenges are for minis painted entirely within the month. Sorry, and please feel free to enter another model!



Ah sorry, i posted a miniature that i have painted the 26/3 so it doesn't count

If I take a week off in penitence, would you permit me to enter the Yarrick I literally painted half a face on for a previous challenge?
I can just paint over the face, but for the sake of half an hour, I thought I'd ask.

Sounds fine to me, there's a difference between 'half a face' and 'most of the model was already painted'! That, and I want to see that Yarrick done!

No worries, as before, if you have any other suitable minis you're more than willing to enter those!

Cheers Para. I managed to get a local sign printer to do his banners on vinyl, so hopefully, it should be a simple finish!

My Deff Dread! Here is his fluff.

In a battle of Tyranids VS Orks, the "Dead Killy" Deff Dread fought the Hive Tyrant of Hive Fleet Whupass in a challenge, which he won by slaying the Hive Tyrant. Had he not done that, the Orks fighting for Warboss Gitsmaka would have been eaten by Hive Fleet Whupass. For this reason, he has been given a bosspole only da biggest and da best Warboss would have. The Orks respect the "Dead Killy" Deff Dread as if it were an idol of Gork and Mork.

I'll doll them up to look the part.

This will be my entry if Para allows it:



I have two things I'd like a ruling on.

1) As you can see I put a little bit of silver on one of the tracks last week before the poll went up indicating this would be a viable entry. Is that ok? There's still loads of the model left to do and that bit is barely even a basecoat.

2) It's a model that doesn't actually come with a base, but I've already done one. Would it be ok to have it on the base in the final pictures or would I need to present it without?

Aces. Now let's see if I can actually get the damned thing done, given that the only entry I've made larger than a single infantry figure so far ended in failure.

Pretty darn pleased with this guy, sometimes a mini just goes 'right' and comes out exactly how I'd hoped it would! Obviously not final pics as there's more than 5, but I thought I'd get him out here anyway.
