Huh, it's been so long since I finished my Death Jester but I don't remember having any assembly issues

We're talking about the plastic one, right?

Spoiler:

The guy on the far left:

Yep.

The issue is with connecting the cape because it bends around the arm, then has to click into the neck and reach the gunhand.

I ended up cutting off the right side and glueing it on seperately because the prior tries made me have to repaint a lot of places due to glue getting everywhere.

Also contemplating making his head a pumpkin atm. Base still to do aswell. Everything else is done.

Definitely like that Sister Superior.
Particularly since it seems to naturally flow into an army theme that looks good on the tabletop even if you cut corners a bit. I can even imagine myself being able to make an army like that

That skull sister is amazing. The flaming weapon effects are awesome.

Agreed-- the Sister of The Damned looks great.

I have mostly finished the small Candlejacks:


They need something on their bases, and I haven't managed to get the sword looking how I imagine it. I'm taking a step back from these two, though, and working on their big brother for now.

This entry was much faster to complete. I experimented with some new chromatic paints and it's a neat look if you like metallics. I also tried doing a spooky red glow around the head.

That mini looks pretty rad.

Can't compete with that..

Tbh contemplating quitting the internet again (I lived without it for like 6 years before pre-2020), not because of demoralization here btw but in general. Autumn is killing me anyway.

I'll still try to finish my death jester though.

For the Spooky theme I've picked this assorted Team of Monsters.

From left to right it's Warewolf, Ghoul, Ghost, Frankenstein, Zombie.

I will try get them all done but might end up only painting some of them.

I'll chip in with this trio of mechanical murder-skeletons. They get bonus Hallowe'en points for being a nightmare to assemble!

I'm finally ready to reveal why I chose this model for Halloween. Isn't it obvious, I hear you say. She's a maniac with a chainsaw. It couldn't be clearer.

Not so! It is, of course, entirely down to the fact that shadow bunnies are spooky!





I'll add my usual collage when I have good light for proper photos. Hopefully tomorrow.

It's actually really nice to have plenty of time to paint at the beginning of the month. I should have that more often.

Joining the "finished early in the month" club. I think I need better pictures, but done anyways:

Looking good so far-- everyone is really cranking out some great work.

For what it's worth, you're not competing with me. You're competing with yourself, trying to become a better painter and modeller than you were last month.

Truth. It's all about taking part. Getting those models painted, engaging with your peers.

Working on Gwenom. She's a lot of real estate.

I will definitely be voting for Gwenom for... reasons.

Here's my finished entry:

Trainee Cargo Specialist

Some stuff looking awesome already on this thread…

I am struggling this month, hardly touched a thing on my minis… absolutely snowed under with work.

I will hopefully get them done to a fashion by the end of play though…

Hopefully…

Thinking of rejoining the painting train - if I can get some stuff primed in the next few days. Maybe Raven Guard (as they're things that go bump in the night) or possibly a skeletal Wraithlord conversion.

Ooh, this would be sweet!

So, I have taken a small plastic pumpkin, given it wire vines underneath, filled it with resin and prepared a dollie for a ghost to ride up top with some skull-beads for projectiles to fire from my Halloween themed Tonk.

I'm in.
What has four thumbs and knows exactly where your Miner's Local Union dues go each month? These guys!

(Aliens in human's clothing)

Making progress.



Cheers,

Sorry for the late entry.
Not suitable to halloween but I will finish it in this month.
ThanksXD

For Halloween I will try to paint a witch from the movie Little Mermaid The model is downloaded from here.

I do hate how photography and closeups in particular really wreck how cool a mini looks :/
Anyway, sticking true to the Samhain atmosphere, here's my entry; a Jack'o'Jestero

Just resized all images because closeup they look horrific..

Still building and still have some flames to sculpt onto the skulls but it’s starting to come together at last.



Fingers crossed for a quick paint job.

Progress.

The highlighting on the poncho shoulder is spot on. I'm loving it.

That kroot is coming together beautifully, Mothsniper!

We are about halfway through the month. Hope everyone is making better progress than I am.

Anyone have any ideas for the November poll?

I would suggest November Rain, but due to global warming that probably needs to be changed to Sun's Out All Year 'Round and we just keep doing the same thing over and over again.

I'm probably going to shoot myself in the foot with this, but with the upcoming release of Legions Imperialis some people might be interested in a matching theme. Half Height, Full Power. Plenty of room for dwarfs, halflings or kneeling Wraithlords for those that don't care for Epic scale.
