One down one to go. Will have final pics later

My Epistolary who look remarkably like tigurius

Some progress this month!

I find myself in a similar position to Jadenim

Proof pic

Going to be painting the dark angels librarian from the 7th edition dark vengeance set. He's been gathering dust for a bit too long, so I figured this was a pretty good excuse to cover him in some liquid pigment. Nothing fancy planned, mainly box colours with a little variation depending on what paints I actually have. Good luck to everyone else, especially to whoever took on the monolithic challenge of painting a Lord of Skulls.

Cheers

Don’t you have to fly a few thousand miles north to sort that out?

By confusing my phone into thinking that it isn't in Australia, but instead in the northern hemisphere, I am able to post images the right way up.

If the omnissiah will allow me, that is.

Jadenim pulling ahead... damnit

I tried out some Zenithal shading as a new technique.



However i think I went too.subtle. it doesn't show up much under the base coat



And is now pretty non-existent under the wash :(



I was originally going to do them both green, but after washing the first one wasn't too taken by the effect so have done the second washed in blue. It'll give them a bit of individual character on the board,.so not too worried. Now to go and do the metallics and spot colours.

Not sure how ill do commander hammer dance. Not even sure if I'll have time to get him done, given that I'll lose the batcave next week to a wild.mother in law.(she's lovely but visit is not ready compatible.with extended painting sessions...)

Here's my entry in all his shiny, sideways glory:

First WIP for my Marine mash-up.



Cheers,

CB

I shall jump in, on holiday at the moment, but have a set on ETB Primaris at home ready to build.
I shall get them all built and photo’d, then paint at least one of them, hopefully..

WIP on my raptor. Still trying to decide on what to do for the base but I'm leaning towards an urban rubble theme right now.

I like the Ultramarine in ZoBo's proof pic pointing at the large Khorne thing. I imagine he's saying, "You're a big man, but you're out of shape..."





Bonus points for anyone who can name the reference.

Get carter?

Don't tell me you've ruined the best primaris model in the range, or is that the normal captain?

Ok. I'm really going to try to get something done for this month's competition. Here's some starting pics.

Wasnt sure what to enter for this month but I've finally got my Techmarine built so why not???

Little work in progress. I decided to change the head to one of the goliath ones. End is in sight.

Amazing, did you wet blend that blue if you don't mind me asking so. Also did you dry brush the axe white areas or use a air spray?

@Gundor2 - wow... that's a lot of pink What chapter are you going for?

Everything is layered and feathered. I'm not really a fan of wet blending.

Oh good grief. I don't know how people with chaos armies stand it. So much edging!

Pretty much finished the mini, still have to put together a base. Not happy with the white DA insignia on the chest, but I can never get white to work for me. I might go back and fix up something I may have missed after I finish the base

I uploaded both an upside down image and a normal image to see how that works.

Welp, the initial image orientation doesn't seem to be the issue

Not sure what the issue is but I'll keep trying

are you taking pictures with a phone?...if so, was your phone upside down when you took the pics?

He’s got an Australian flag, so it’s probably just the southern hemisphere thing.

When I took pictures with my iPad I needed to have it oriented in a very specific way (button on the right? Been a while) because it flagged the pictures with metadata that said which way was up that might not mesh with what the actual orientation was. One thing I hear would fix that was to open the pic in some sort of editor and save-as, just to replace the tags the iPad stuck on it. I just rotated the pad and took new pictures. These days I use a camera.

haha...I was waiting for someone to drag that one out and give it another beating, knew it'd only be a matter of time!

What can I say, I’m a fan of the classics. In fairness, I did try to follow it up with useful advice...

Here's my entry, finished! I slaved away over the weekend and am pleased to have pumped him out. I present: Septimus Aurelianus, 3rd Company captain.







Good luck everybody! I'm excited to see what comes out of this month

Damn you. You single handedly made me want to collect chaos just so I can have a LoS and call it the Khornemower.

My group calls it the Skulldozer.

Also, I've decided to jump on board with my take on Huron Blackheart:
