Those termies are looking rather bling, new old stock?

I primed all 10 but here are the five, looking fresh then next will be the pads and
Mk4 backpacks to give the retro look

OK,

I will be entering this month, got a Custodes Squad, with Vexilla and Shield Captain. I cant think of anything more in the breach than those guys... And they won't be the gold version either!

I will get a proof picture up once I get my next 10 Cultists off the production line and get some time to make myself some suitable bases.

My entry for the month is done! The Lord Executioner of the Ultramarines surging into the breach against a Chosen of the Iron Warriors.












and finally, my ~5th picture is a nifty action-shot diorama which incorporates other miniatures for effect. I have put it in spoilers because I'm assuming other miniatures should not be included in the official final entry shots, but I wanted to share this image with you guys all the same because I'm chuffed with the composition

Spoiler:


Good luck everybody!

Tech-Priest Manipulus:


I forgot to post proof, but I doubt I need it, since this guy was released earlier this month. My original plan was actually also to post some Infiltrators, but my work schedule is complicating things, so just I expect only to be able to finish the Tech-Priest.

Gotta love the fact that he has a floppy disk with his keys.

Not enthusiastic about how long those tentacles and antennae are going to stay in place. One of each broke off during building. Had to reattach them.

Hardest part was the eye lens. It's pretty big, so I had to do some glare effect, but it had an overhanging shadow too, so the usual way didn't work. A thin curve of sky blue and a dot seemed sufficient.

Finally found the time to post my proof / wip photo. (Alien heads on spikes!)



Its not easy moving back to small miniatures after painting only 75mm for so long. And I hate filling gaps with green stuff....

It looks like its gonna be a busy month for me but I have chosen an easy scheme so i hope i will be able to paint them all.

Can I change my entry? I've fallen hard into the genestealer cult, and would like to enter a unit of aberrants, instead of the breacher squad... can it be done?

Would a Bik Mek on a Warbike be an acceptable entry? He might not be the first one to hit the enemy, but will definitely be WITH the first wave of loud smoking vehicles roaring their engines towards the enemy.
I'm working on a conversion and wanted to check if it would be okay.

If not, I'm picking a Deffkilla Wartrike as my entry.

Midget Gems: I absolutely love that idea!

Seems eminently reasonable to me!

Does it really have to be a 5-model limit? My poor 5-man engineer squad would really like their Hades breaching drill.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Also, Midget, your entry is just terrible. You'd better mail it to me so I can fix it up

To be fair, I've made exceptions in the past when it's been to get a full unit of 6 in rather than leaving one out of the final pics, so yeah, feel free to include the drill as well.

Cool!

Well here's my proof pic:


As a base model, I'm using an Old Ork Wartrakk which I bought ~12-14 years ago. It never saw any action and has moved from one storage box to another over the years.
Trying to give it a new life as a Big Mek's belowed warbike.
And some WIP images from the last few days.

nice looking biker bigmek there Ezki! ...I always thought a wartrakk would be perfect for character biker conversions, but I never got around to doing it myself...

just stick one of the engineers behind the drill, out of shot, in all the pics...easy!

Ok, so I'll change my entry, and I'll be 'reasonable' by entering only one miniature, considering that i'm a bit rusty on the painting department, and that my left arm hasn't regained its full mobility yet...

So, I'll be painting this big guy with his big hammer...

WIP on my entry, though he's probably as good as done as I spent most of the day working on him. Just need to correct a few errors and tidy up a few details I noticed taking these pics, and maybe do something more interesting with the base.



Any thoughts welcome!

Thank you ZoBo! This is something I've been thinking for a long time. The proof pick more or less shows the stage it has been since the time Nob Bikers were hot, so since 5th or 6th? I was trying to make it a painboy's wagon back then.

Holy cow Paradigm, that looks fantastic!
