Also, I think the Tempest/dragon are complete:









Not sure which is the money shot

LMK your thoughts mes amis! Thanks for the excellent C&C thus far. BTW, I did go with =I= red missiles to purge heresy, and it's Emperor's Children in origin.
Hey ho,
graven

Super stealthy! Love it, bud!

And thanks for the conformation, if I have time I might tackle turning a 60mm scale H2 SUV into some sort of truck for Infinity(diorama) or my Norks. If I don't have the time I'll see what else I have available to repurpose on a smaller scale. That's the problem with these competitions, I get an idea, it grows and before I know it it's too big a project to finish in time.

Good job Graven. Looks good. The OSL/damage looks cool and a nice paint-job to top it off.

The finished Land Speeder looks awesome !

Very clever, original, and well-executed !

I also agree with WM360, in that the Fire Dragon may be one of your neatest, crispest, cleanest model !!

nice photo session... that model sure knew how to smile to the camera

the darker backdrop and the good lighting sure helped to sell the model even more...

and glad you choose to go for the red missles

Hah, that's awesome dude - the money shot for me is the underneath view showing the (insert weapon name here) burning through the Tempest hull (sorry, I have no idea what that Eldar dude is firing )

And Ronin - I haven't seen those minis for yonks. Had a few but lost them many moons ago...

What a great concept .. then again I'm not suprised!

Good Job! Really like the FD paint job. Stunning!

I'm pleased the deathwatch scheme work for you. I'm really sold on turquoise as an edge highlight for black.
And I injure what you mean about contest madness - these things do rather spiral I find!

Thanks mate, that's high praise indeed! I almost want to start painting more eldar, or at least brighter colours generally; lousy grimdark...

Red definitely worked well. It was an absolute beast to photograph! When taking pics the little guy was trying to hep with the camera and model, saying, "daddy I play with your Lego?"

I really thought I'd made a mess of his lance, and highlighting the silver was really unnerving as I'm so used to dry brushing only. Thanks for the praise, your skills are a real inspiration.

Kind words indeed! Should I do a solo shot of the Dragon also?

Have managed to source some fw sister icons on the cheap and resolved wobbly turret syndrome; hopefully will have more to share tomorrow.

LOL.... i know that rather well too.... if i wasn´t that carefull my kids would be all over dakka... i think the have a certain attention issue when i pick up the camera ...

I think your money shot is shot 1 with an inset of shot 5 in the upper left-hand corner.

Brilliant work mate! Form concept to execution. Unique, creative and well executed! Can't ask for more than that!

Thanks gang. You all provide me with so much support and encouragement - I cannot thank you enough.
So, now, onwards with the Sisters! Got my supply drop from former pupil/GW red shirt, and inspiration in form much staring at bits box hit:

Still has giant plough btw, detached for building/priming.

Awesome! Looks like it's going to have some serious presence!

ohoh.... i see winges in the background!.... i think we´ll get some incomming soon...

and i was wondering.... wouldn´t the sisters rather use flamers as hatchmounted weapons than bolters? or am i in the wrong here as this is not allowed?

Definitely like where you're going with your SoB Rhinos...

Can't wait to see them painted in bright, eldarish colours!!!

....

Wait...

Ah yes, supply drop from the divine Miss Dee - a ton of ST bits including 10 pairs of wings - seraphim next on to-build list, assuming I don't get distracted by your supplies I know there's a penitent pilot there and I have 3 nos sentinels in the garage so I might get side tracked there
As for flamers a repressor has heavy flamer and tl storm bolter. Tanks are all modular (well, the 3 with "altars") so the can run as any possible sob loadout - immolator with heavy flamers, mm or hb, repressor, rhino or exorcist.

Major building works complete, on to gap filling!
Also, wicked supply drop arrived from Vik! Woo-hoo!

Divine am I?

Absolutely:

Seraphims w/ SG wings are awesome !

Why thank you! Yeah, really going down the angelic route with them. Doing some head swaps too using the sob helm out of the basing kit and replacing the rubbish metal stands with pins and bits

ah.... see GW...? that´s a 50:50 version of plastic and metal sisters... that´s how it is done... now a 100% version is needed!

Tell that to GW!
Not much to report, giant altar tank is halfway to primed; meantime, slapping paint on ordo xenos-

Poor pic quality, apologies!
Out of glue, out of primer - actually have to paint! Tsk.

Those crusaders are great !

As for the SoB, you had me with the "basing kit" helm !! I asked, I would have bet it was from the Immolator crew !!!

looking good.... but a bit chalky still... a wash would do them good...

@Yggs yeah, those helms work really well!
@Vik fear not gentle sir, early days yet.

My entry for the Repurposings done 6mm paints nice and quick and I really wanted to paint this critter. The noble Baron Tourville of West March. I've uh fixed the base since photography.



Just to give you an idea of the size of the model here's a scale shot. Graven should recognise where the zealot came from

Here he is leading the army

Hey guys,
Sorry it's been awfully quiet over here. I had a job interview Weds which I really, really wanted and didn't get. Was very stressed in the run-up and been pretty bummed out about it. Anyway, bouncing back (because really, what else can I do?) and hope to have updates (and reboot the contest) later.

@llamahead - great work! Nice zealot

damn...don´t get too frustrated... it is not worth it...

Fed up with teaching the whining kids ?

Cheers bad luck on the job my contracts not getting renewed which I'm annoyed at.

Steady mate, take some time to re-focus. You'll be fine.
