Congratulations Queen / Dance / Belle. And every one else congratulations for all the effort and amazing work you all have done regardless of vote counts. They are all extremely high standard paint jobs.

Thanks for the kind words and votes everybody. I wasn't expecting to be in the mix for victory, so this has been a pleasant surprise. Very well deserved finishes for queen_annes_revenge and DanceofSlaaneesh too, and a generally high standard of painting all around.

For anybody that liked my Biel-Tan scheme, there'll be more of it this month on my Warp Hunter.

Congrats Dance, Queen Anne and Bellerophon, really well deserved.

Good to hear you'll be doing more stuff this month Bellerophon

Thanks for the comments Argive and and Felt, and for anyone that sent a vote my way this month I think its one of my highest scoring entries without a conversion

Following along with Dr.Giggles' request for feedback, may I ask for some too? I'm always keen to improve and there's something everyone can gain from feedback, even if it's not necessarily on their own work!


First thing I would say is crop your photos to focus more on the model.
I like the green transition you have on one side of the tabard cloth near the legs but the other side you can see the layers so you need to build that colour up with several thinned down layers and maybe a wash to bring it all together?
Some of the edge highlighting seems thick in some places, e.g. the pads and on the right hand sword.
Are those gems on the legs and could you have matched them to the purple ones on the top?

Congrats to DanceofSlaanesh, Queen Annes Revenge and Bellerophon for their victories, very well deserved. I can't speak enough about how good the standard you guys set was.

Thanks to everyone who voted for me and gave me great comments! I was really happy to get see my vision finished and gain a personal best of 17 when I normally sit around 3-6 votes, so I'm glad people enjoyed my work. Thanks especially to everyone who gave me comments! The feedback is definitely more important to me than a vote and in line with others, if anyone has any comments or criticism for myself, please feel free to share! I always want to get better. My goal is to win one of these things one day. That said, I have a long way to go to catch up with this month's top brass!

Congrats to the winners! Well deserved all.

Thank you MG for the feedback, it's all very much appreciated. On the photography side of things, I use my phone camera so what looks fine on a screen that size is quite a bit different on PC (looking at them on my work PC right now). In terms of the comments on the greens and the thicker highlights, I was under pressure to finish the model and I got lazy. I won't do that next time!

No worries Tyranid, I do the same and sometimes just happy to get an entry finished rather than finished perfectly

Congrats on your personal best Deadshot, that's a good goal and with the right entry and painting i'm sure you can

For any further comments on your entry or areas to improve I would say,
- The building is very well painted
- The dead/Dieing Troopers feel wrong, they seem like they are laying down in a standing position (if that makes sense) i.e. too ridged, not part of the ground and body parts defining gravity. Some examples may help Spoilered below
- The remaining IG Officer is perfectly positioned
