so i got this headless blood crusher and i had a bunch of nid heads... doesn't this face make him look more terrifying?
i just think it is missing something... suggestions?

Finished (I think, I might touch up a few things).

Finished!

Nork Deddog.

Cracking stuff there fellas

Aye, really nice work!

I've finished mine as well.

Parawn, Draigllai of Idris

Wow! Awesome work!

Thanks for the kind words chaps

GiraffeX that looks spectacularly good, awesome work there

Posting my finished Kylo Space Maren! I'm not entirely happy, it felt like a rushed paintjob and I don't like it. The picture as awlays looks horrible. Well well, don't be afraid. I feel it too. (ah ha, quotes from the movie in which the character on who I based a miniature on is in!)




Bloody hell I hate iPhone cameras.

My Breachers just have a couple of small touchups left to do, pics will show up in this thread no later than about this time tomorrow.

And I am done!







Warning: spooky


Magnetizes to Exocrine


YAY, I FINISHED SOMETHING!

E: I don't know what the hell the gallery does to pictures, but it seems to have done something. I don't know what happened - I just pressed buttons. Here are the camera shots, pre-dakka (post-lightroom) -> http://imgur.com/a/PR7H8

E2: Un-auto buggered the pictures, they look better now

The gallery makes an absolute arse of pictures. But damn that bug still looks pretty fething awesome. Great job there KB

Yeah, that's awesome!

Did you use the Dakka 'auto-adjust' button? That can mess with pics and usually isn't necessary.

Holy crap that is disgusting! I LOVE IT

Well, I finished, just.
I thought this'd be quite a comfortable challenge, and then ended up painting my BFG for a game, so left this till last minute.

Not awesome, but decent. My 2 Chaplains and 2 more Chosen, for my 30k Dark Angels. Just realised I forgot to do the Chaplains eyes.



Looking good, everyone.

Thanks a lot guys, it means a lot coming from people of your caliber.

Yeah, i think i did para. I'll swap them out today for unadulterated versions before the vote post (I'll just use the imgur links)

Still rather shocked that i got something done. What was this, my fourth start? Heh

Its 18.20 here and I still need to base. Motivation levels at rock bottom. Is the deadline in GMT?

It is, but I won't be in to collate the entries until about half 3 tomorrow afternoon, so there's hopefully enough time for you to get it all finished.

Did someone call for abusive motivation?

Kb - disgustingly brilliant.
GiraffeX - stunning skin tones
Farseer - love how they all have character.

Mine are gone, need to photograph before I go for my night shift then I will post.

Great stuff, love these entries. Voting will be so hard.

I am afraid I'm bowing out due to being called home. Family stuff. No emergency, in fact good news. But my painting gear is in another county.
Mayhaps Fullers shall return at some point, when there's a fitting theme.

Down to the wire this month but I got it done!
Presenting... Me! Gulgog Tuftoof, DefSkullz Warlord, da Great Ancient God of da Desert
Final Pics:

Great stuff guys! I really like the slobber on the tyranid halfway up the page, looks like something I'd try to do with hotglue strands.

It was 90second araldite, coated in future to try and stabilise it

Here they are, ready to get up close and personal with something and annihilate it in a storm of pulse blasts, my Tau Breacher team:









They were certainly enjoyable to paint. Tau infantry models are perhaps some of the best-looking basic troops in 40k, and it was fun implementing my own color scheme on them (although, admittedly, my freehand could use some work ). I feel like Breachers definitely fit the theme, as their weapons become much more potent when they are right in the enemy's face (they will blow said face clean off!).

Pics of the entire unit (all 10 Fire Warriors and their drone) will be added to my P&M blog soon, if anyone is interested. Looking forward to the voting, lots of great entries this month!

Gentlemen, I am defeated. One is finished and the other just needs his jump pack doing, but I am not going to make the deadline. I'll still post the finished product when it's ready as I'm only likely to be a day or so late. It's annoying as I've probably had the time to do it slightly earlier if I really tried, but this month has proven a lot busier than I anticipated on a number of levels. Don't let friends who are getting married talk you into running interference with their soon to be in-laws for a couple of hours, very soon you've lost most of a Saturday!

My proper photos are taken and but not edited because I had to get to my night shift. There's a rubbish photo on my blog for proof of completion on time. As soon as I get home tomorrow (midday latest) I'll throw up the better quality images. Hope that is ok.

Finished on time, just. A few important lesson's learned like always' check you have flesh paint's if your painting a face. I didn't and had to replaced the head with a helmet I hope that's OK.
Also photo's need to be looked at as I only have a phone cam and I'm not sure about lighting etc. Other than a few basic prep thing's it's just practice and more patience for me I think.
I'm actually quite happy with it even if it's the first I can say I've kit-bashed from scrap's and painted to completion myself.




Good luck everyone
