That's actually a very good showing, I didn't realise so many people had got involved.

And it's still PIP- trying to find the right technique for the Ork skin! Wanting something different to my usual take on Orks.

Yeah, so long as most everyone makes it to the finish line, I'll be thrilled.

Fair dos mate, so long as you're still here

I'll be making it to the finish line even if it takes staying up into the wee hrs on work night. I've been running my Cultists Horde again and I really want a model that represents the core behind the uprising, plus I'd really like to finish a contest project for the first time in well over a year. I'm feeling excited about modeling again.

Huzzah! And just to add more fuel to the fire, I'm going to do participation prizes.

Yup.

As in, you finish, you get something.

Guaranteed.

In other news, had a coffee and a catch-up with an old friend, who had dug out some bits for me:

That's exorcist extra armour, 2 sprues of SoB bits, 5 basic SoB and 5 seraphim.
Lovely karma, as I'd given a classic nos Russ to another mate earlier today for his ww1 guard.
There's an awful lot of decent people in this hobby...

... aaaaaand Progress:


And just in case you missed it - mystery participation prizes for the repurposing contest are go! I'm particularly looking at you regulars who've yet to pitch in!

Yippie!

My piece of advice... DO NOT send 4# of cookies to the other side of the planet. Baaaaaad planning...

Update on my piece... lots of work on the hazard stripes and the head.





Crazy build on that vehicle graven... just love it!

Nah, it's all contest appropriate glad you like my lunacy. I need to do it a single heavy flamer turret and a storm bolter just so I can run it as a second repressor; I also could do with making another multi melta turret, so I have yet more options for this army I'll never play with
Oh,
your entry's looking cool as btw. I'm just holding off on comments generally till the contest is done.

oh...you even highlighted the hazard stripes git... wow!

and you sure have some nice friends graven...that costs a fortune on ebay... heck alone the package of sisters...... yup... there are some really nice peeps...i can testify for this... the wave of kindness that has happened to be due to dakka sure makes up for some of the general badness life usually flings at us...

and just to spoil your work of the current tank...have you thought about making some flame effects for the flamer?...



you know this would be awesome as hell...(and a perfect oportunity later on to inlcude OSL )

Be careful graven... I think Vik was one of those guys trying to convince me to make glowing barrels on something I was painting (can't remember what now).

@Vik: Well... I had to do something. Sometimes the painting on figures goes smooth and easy... this isn't one of those. It's kind of fighting me at every step so I'm having to dote on individual aspects of the paint job in order to make them look decent. It'll be a lesson in perseverance if it turns out OK in the end.

Ooooooh Vik you are a very Bad Man if I were to do it I'd probably cheat and use the plastic chaos flame arm.

well... i wouldn´t calll that exactly cheating... you still have to paint it eventually

and well... aren´t we all in the fullness of time planning onsome OSL

and git... the model will loos eventually...not in this comp... but it has to give in... towards your prowess^^
for now i really like that!

Update- Build is done and I've started painting:

Mk1 LR perhaps? He is a menace,

Sa-weet! in a pussy, sticky kind of way

Also, Vik, you are a troublemaker:


And she of the bad-ass is nearly there, too:

So if I were to turn a WHFB model into a 40k Inqisitorial Henchmen, is that contest friendly? I was going to use a Relic Knights model, but the scale is way off.

Yup, making trouble since 1974...:p
Where the heck is that baby head from?...is he blowing flame bubbles?

Yup, that is right on the money.

Oh the baby is the cherub vox thing. I used 2 on the vindicator dozer, too, and I just liked the flame-breather idea.

More work on my entry. Lots left to do, but it's starting to shape up and at least now I have an idea what it is going to look like when I'm finished.

Skalk, those exhaust pipes are baller.

Thank you. I need to set up a tripod and real light box before submitting my entry for judging. There are a lot of details that didn't show up in this pic.

Very neat indeed, and Moltar, nice to cya!

Great pennate engine work. Nice sisters drop. Lovely contest going on. graven.. you been a busy bee.

Thanks, Graven! I've been patiently waiting for you to finish these sweet and tasty tank builds. I'd be re-purposing myself, but just too much stuff in the way.

Well, those bad-ass girls have now got primer on them, just drying merrily in the garage. Longer term I need to scavenge a third sentinel to build #3 for the unit. As for the supply drop, for the price of a couple of cups of coffee and some great chat, I got very lucky. Even had the helmed seraphim superior, which I had forgotten existed. Contest seems to be taking shape (phew)

Thanks man. I know the feeling! The tanks will probably have to wait a wee bit: I really want to get the engines done for panda's contest, and I'm away this weekend, AND packing up the man-cave the following before the renovation begins to kitchen and cave alike. Still, to keep you happy:

Repressor #2 loadout, that is

As I say, I'm away over the next few days (elderly relatives on the way out, need to make sure I see them beforehand...) but will be back in the land o' dakka middle of next week.

One other thing: Warsmith (hits_the_spot) has an awesome kickstarter going: go check it out!

Later peeps,
graven

Sad news, I have to step out from the contest - too much obligatory stuff to do atm =(
But I made a pic to show what's done...



It was a WoW night elf and now a 40k subhuman mercenary.

wow outstanding

That's too bad Storag, love your progress on that mini.

I think I've found the model I wish to use to enter this contest (I can still do that right? )



I don't think that will be quite everything, but I'm gonna see what I can get done. I've got a month right?

I don't know what it is... but I like it.

Yep, till the end of October.

Hurrah, Alf's in! Yup, 31st October - looks like a Wulfen Repentant from Confrontation to me.

...

Much like the one that's in the prize pool

Sad to see you go storag,won't take you off the list just yet!
