I am very envious of people capable of building terrain, I already have enough problems with basing, but then I see what people do and its like. Daaaaaaamn, that's good.

thanks to a somewhat lengthy hospital stay, and some terrible news, I am unable to complete this months challenge. I gotta bow out.
And before you think sad thoughts, the terrible news is I was convinced to start my own army. You can actually hear my wallet screaming in anguish.

Unashamed at copying my post from my Deathwatch blog :
Spoiler:
So I've made a little progress (microscopic more like). I've pinned all the components which is the first time I've ever done it. Wanted to have better detail on the torsos beneath arms etc:
Blocks are home-made from left-over wood
I've also decided that the Deathwatch are in a derelict building/spaceship so have made these bases:
They are all primed now, will start painting tonight.

I guess I ought to try and finish my stuff, eh? Not been very well this week and got a bad case of All The Things To Do meaning I did None Of The Things.
Thats a surprise - i totally expected the 'clear swoosh' to be coming from the end of the staff!
edit: nice entry GiraffeX - If theres some skin left it's worth a go!

I just haven't found the motivation to do mine. I've stared at the models too much to be entirely happy with them (I was fine when they were done, but the more I look the more problems I see. Never keep minis you're proud of at the time in direct view of your main workspace over several days, it's depressing) and thanks to being several hours drive from most of my supplies, my 'diorama' will consist of a CD covered in sand painted grey.
I was really hoping to come back fighting this month after my shoehorned entry last time, but the busy week in the middle has just been a kick in the teeth to any kind of coherent productivity (I've done minis I'm happy with before and after the break, but the project that spanned the two just slid to a halt). Still, I've definitely got something, or several something lined up for October, so I guess I'm just going for completion points this month.
(sorry for the rant, it's just been bugging me a fair bit!)

The painting is pretty much finished here, just begun to glue the Carnifex together, and of course I have made an error. The cannon arms are pointing slightly too low, meaning that they now foul the legs. That is going to be fun to fix without mucking up the paint job. Also I still have the base to do as well, but I am not being too adventurous with that so it should be rather straightforward.

Four people plus LordRahl.
I reckon we'll get 10-15 finished. Dunno how that stacks up to normal.

Ditto.
I don't dislike what I've done, but the idea of painting the rest of it makes me yawn. Expecially the cat. Doesn't help that the evenings are getting darker, and all I want to do is nap.
lol i know right, the few times i did finish it was last second yea its kind of a shame the hero clicks models weren't just a tad better quality, oh well there still usable for conversions
