**ZoBo**

right, that's better...got a nice proper coat of primer on everything for both of them

...now I just have to paint them

**Kustomer D**

Black Adam is finished.
I'll try to post the final pics at the weekend.

K D

**Power Elephant**

Proof and quick WIP pic. Will paint the rider later of course.

**Nevelon**

WIP. Getting close to done. Base needs a bit more work, and a transfer or two.

**Rybrook**

First coat of enchanted blue, has to be done properly

**ZergSmasher**

I'll go ahead and enter my Primaris Repulsor:

Nothing says "Mighty" like a big flying tank!

**SirOllox**

My entry this month

A skullcrusherlord of khorne

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Going to add to my Goliath Gang. Here is the leader, Krieg. Power hammer and a stub pistol.

**Rybrook**

Nearly done, Just have to finish the cape stand and do the base which I am dreading

**Nevelon**

Finished with the big guy. Went pretty quick, the two-tone paint job really helped there. Probably could have done him last month as well. Calling this final. Not really feeling the motivation to add to the entry, and could use the rest of the month for more unstructured projects.

Bonus Pic! For those of you who have been with us for the long haul, you might remember back to Aug of ’15, when we were painting “Rise of the Machines”. I painted a wraithlord for that competition as well. Model was a bit older...

**Power Elephant**

The horse is mostly done. I will do a bit more dark lining on some spots I missed, but you get the general idea. I forgot to take a pic of the rider, so I'm gonna have to ask for forgivness on that one.

**ChaosDad**

Some progress, I've been trying some wet blending on the blue-purple transitions, not quite happy with the result...
I am quite happy with the general look of the piece, though, but it's so big that there is a loooooot of opportunity for detail work. There are eyes and teeth on the arms, amongst other things...

**SlaveToDorkness**

Looks at theme, looks at giant Reaper Bones Dragon.

Hmmm,....

**Power Elephant**

Another quick WIP pic:

**Rybrook**

Done, This one was surprisingly difficult

**LordRahl**

hmmm... does this guy count.. i got him with no arms...

**Midget Gems**

Some quick finishers this month, nice work KD, Nev, Rybrook

Power elephant I really like how you have done the red armour on the horse and rider with surface highlights, it looks really good.

Your entry is looking great ChaosDad, really like the transitions from purple to blue.

I'm not evensure what that is LordRahl, some sort of nid? Looks pretty big and mighty to me.

Quick update from me, a bit of breaking superglue joints, some rearranging and plasticard work and I almost have a model ready to be painted

I might still need to make a new hand to hold the sword (model was missing lift arm, right foot and other bits.)

**lipsdapips**

Late start (i've been holidaying) but count me in! What mightier, rightier display of force is there than the second company standard! If I finish quickly i'll work on the rest of the command squad and see how far I get.

LDP

**SKR.HH**

I'm also going to join. Most ambitious project (in terms of timeline) I ever dared...

Going to enter my Imperial Knight:

Considering that glaciers are moving faster than I'm painting... this is going to be interesting.

**Chris56**

That is some great shading, Powerelephant! The steed is looking especially awesome.
Incredible model there with some incredible painting, Chaosdad - I'm really looking forward to seeing that when it is finished.
Midgetgems - now that looks like a cool freaking model - that is an ork piloting, isn't it...awesome.

No idea what to paint this month. I'm renovating the house, so it'll have to be something pretty time-friendly...I'll have to put some more thought into it.

**Rybrook**

Why do my pics come out funny when I upload,
I too another on with my phone this time

**Power Elephant**

Done.

Great paintjob but man am I happy we've moved past this level of model making quality. (PS. It's coming home.)

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Made a bit of progress so far, not sure how I feel about all that bronze though...

(Spoiler'd for size)

Spoiler:

**Nevelon**

I think some highlights a/o a wash would help the bronzes out a lot. Right now it does look a little flat for something that takes up a lot of the mini.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Yeah, just looks like a base colour right now.

Cheers mate,

I think the level of detail on Calgars face in insane, once it was primed you could make it all out

His eye for example, you can see the actual eyeball not like with the plastics, I wish I had taken a close up of it

**SlaveToDorkness**

My proof.

What is more mighty than the God of Dragons?

I have the sub-assemblies put together and painting on the base elements now.

Hopefully this beast is mightier than my hobby ADD!

Got the base elements done! Washes are still a bit wet but you get the idea.

**Jadenim**

So this month I submit not just a mighty warrior in his own right, but one who can bring to bear the might of the entire Imperium of Man at a whim; a Deathwatch Watch Master:

Proof:

**Midget Gems**

Thanks Chris, yep its an Ork, they can loot anything

Good luck SKR.HH, An imperial knight is also on my list to loot for my Orks

funny how?

Well do for finishing power elephant and Jadenium, I like the details on his face. You guys are putting in overtime getting all these entries finished so quick.

That looks like its going to be pretty epic SlaveToDorkness
