4 UM Assault Marines!

Proof:

**Rybrook**

Are they defecting?

I just got the scum undercoated

I really must sort out the imprint

**TheDraconicLord**

Well, since Eddie Riggs is going wonderfully, I'm even considering creating a diorama, but that requires the other said pieces I ordered to actually arrive on time.

Since I can't control said deliveries, I decided to add another entry: a true Agent of Chaos.

I hope no one minds.

And if someone does ...

WHY SO SERIOUS?

**Tim 121RVC**

Going for Skaven this time:

**AUGmaniac**

I suppose 3 Rubric Marines will work?

**EverlastingNewb**

gonna throw my hat into the ring as well..
Daemon Prince of Khorne - photo aren't that good, didn't have much time

**ZergSmasher**

I'm making some progress on my Assassins:

Most of the basecoats are down, but on models like these the devil is in the details, so plenty of work left to do yet.

**lipsdapips**

(Finished entry in new post)

**Kustomer D**

I'll be entering Commander Shadowsun this month.
Her only job is to cause chaos, so ....

(Damn this finecast is crap! Had to replace a piece because it was Not only warped as hell but all detail was gone
Thx GW!)

Did some modifications, trying to turn it into an "agent"/assassin. I will attach knobs to the knife handles. Cover up his back a bit. And maybe replace that skull on his shoulder by a small warp stone. Thoughts?

**feltmonkey**

Here's my proof for the month. It's a miniature I found in my local gaming store. I'm not sure what it's for, but it certainly looks chaosy to me.

**Jadenim**

It kind of looks like a female CSM, but whatever it is, it’s awesome. Looking forward to seeing that painted up.

**lipsdapips**

I've decided to retake my photos in my new lightbox.

(Old post content):
Finished my entry! Presenting 4 run-of-the-mill Ultrasmurf assault marines.

I painted the sergeant in 2016 so he isn't included, but I threw him into the group shot for squad context.

Good luck everyone!

**Power Elephant**

Proof pic + result.
I might post something else at a later date though, as this didn't exactly go as planned.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

I'm not gonna be able to finish, and tbh, I entered knowing that.

**Midget Gems**

Nice conversion Tim 121RVC, he does really look like an assassin, the swords behind him and leaning forwards give him a real sense of movement. I like it

Nice work lipsdapips, good clean edge highlights on them. I knew you would think of something

Power Elephant, that is incredibly disturbing, have you been playing goat simulator again?

Don't worry CREEEEEEEEED you exams are more important ( i assume that's why you won't finish) I'll look forward to whatever you enter now or in the future

New league table is up

**Paradigm**

OP is all up to date!

I did a dumb thing and painted one model of my planned 5-model entry before taking a proof. Would anyone object to me still entering the whole group? If anyone takes issue, I'll just do the remaining 4 but it would be nice to enter the full set and hopefully you guys trust me not to cheat my own challenge.

**lipsdapips**

For what it's worth, Para, I trust you!

**Paradigm**

You know how it is. Get shiny new models, assemble in a hurry, absent-mindedly starting to paint during a D&D game, a couple of hours later you've killed a boss and somehow managed to paint a Necromunda mini... Then realise you were meant to take a pic of it first

**Jadenim**

It’s not like the time difference between unpainted and finished models is more than a few minutes with you anyway Para

I swear models just get painted by being in the same room as you!

**TheDraconicLord**

I don't think anyone would object. It's not like you usually participate in these contests

**Power Elephant**

But Para, how can you break the law if you ARE the law?

**EmberlordofFire8**

I hope I manage to finish on time. I’m basically done with the armour and skin, but now I’m in Germany...

**ZoBo**

urgh...not feeling the bikers at the moment, I've got sod all painting done on them yet, been playing too many games lately instead

so, yeah, I think I'm going to change my entry from the bikers, to an old metal ork "Nob with a Waaagh! Banner"...I feel like a big ork waving a big banner, stirring up the boyz to fight even more enthusiastically than they already do, makes for a pretty good "agent of chaos" eh?

para, can you update my proof pic to this one thanks mate?

Spoiler:

**Paradigm**

Since no one seems to object, the first couple of minis in my entry:

**AUGmaniac**

Here are the finished Aspiring Sorcerer and two of the Rubricae in his squad.

**ZoBo**

ok, finished my Waaagh! Banner Nob...not bad for a 20 year old model

pics:

Spoiler:

*edit - never mind para, not finished yet...I just remembered his "space marine helmets on a stick" trophy rack that goes on his back...I forgot to even strip that bit!

**Kustomer D**

Done. Not really happy with her. She is more like TT-Standard and even there the material didn´t make it easier... no excuse.

Looking forward to see all entries finished.

**Rybrook**

I’m not going to be able to finish all four of them, work and family just get in the way, probably just two will make it out of the under hive to live another day

**ZoBo**

ok...now I'm finished!
