Subject: Re:++40k, Fantasy and Other Painting & Modelling Competition++ Progress!
I have finished the modelling phase of Saint Bellanya, my Celestine conversion.
And all the different angles. Zoom in on the pics! They're pretty high quality.
Aaaaaaaand I just realized that the cloth coming off her left hip came unattached during photography. Crap. That'll be glued down after painting, anyway. And on that note, painting and fluff dump to come! Still debating the paint scheme a bit too. The rest of my army is black armor with some bone pieces, with gold detailing. I'm thinking on this I might go with mostly bone armor and black cloth. That still leaves the wings and hair that I'm not totally sure of.

A short fluff entry:
Spoiler:
So here he stands tall, "Loud" Gunter, veteran and master of battlefront, famouse not only for his incredible strength, courage and booming voice, but for his weapon of type, rarely seen in the arms of Space Marines - his assault cannon "The Emperor's Roar". This artifact was a gift from Magos Explorator, whos excavation mission was overwhelmed by the horde of rampaging Orc looters and nearly wiped out, when the rescue team, lead by Sergeant Gunter, descended from the orbit right in between, protecting the remaining Techpriests like a living but impenetrable shield. With cold blood and Bolter fire they held the line, yet the numbers of xenos seemed endless... So not to say about the defenders. And it was then he saw an assault cannon amongst other artifacts, recovered by the Techpriests, locked and loaded, ready to spill the blood of unclean, and in a moment later the six-barreled vengeance was risen and the mighty roar flew over the battlefield as the veteran shredded through the greenskin ranks with unbridled wrath and thousands shells. The battle was over in no time as the hundreds Orcs were ripped apart in a blink of an eye. "Now it is yours" - the Magus said as the echoes of cannon fire died away "The spirit of the weapon has chosen you. THE Emperor himself has chosen you". So the artifact got it's name. And it is interesting to note, that no one of the Expedition can recall the cannon being loaded as it was recovered in unusable condition.

somehow i ran out of fingers able to be crossed^^ ...
worked on some more painting to the minis... but i hav a possible jobaplication tomorrow so maybe only some tenty minutes to waste on my minis...oh i do hate deadlines... they are so deadly...
Hey Guys!
As we near the end of the competition, I just wanted to remind you all of the final entry guidelines, also located in this thread's OP:
FINAL ENTRY consists of 1 or more WIP pictures and 2 or more finished pictures (preferably against a white or semi-white background)
Pictures should be posted to the DAKKA GALLERY and PMed to me by the deadline. I really would like to stress this point as it speeds my making of the voting thread.
Included must be a FEW sentences of fluff. Not asking for a whole lot, just some background.
DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 31st, MIDNIGHT EST (GMT -5:00)
As a side note, I have only received pictures from 1 person, and those were WIPs. If you have not PMed them already please do so, it really helps out. this is not a matter of disqualification, just my time.
EDIT: skimming through I see only one person fully fulfilling the requirements, please check to make sure everything is done. I have yet to decide what to do with unfinished entries, at this point I'm thinking that for those of us like myself I will create a thread where we can show how far we got, but are not eligible for voting/prizes.
As an update on my entry, it might not get finished. Sad but true. Hobby motivation (and the hobby in general) has been lacking in the past few weeks as my time is consumed. However, only time will tell!

Wait November doesn't have 31 days. Is the deadline December 1st 00:00/12:00 am then EST (GMT -5:00) then?
I still have some way to go on the segway, but I have a day off school today so I might be able to finish in time. I have my other entry done, I just need to write some fluff.
Good luck to everyone else in finnishing your entries on time! Everyone has done really well.

Ok, I've finally finished my Segway Rough Rider. Is it still in time?
It's a miracle that I finished him today as this morning I had only just done the blue and boltgun metal basecoats. I only painted him in two hours (the base took longer than the mini). He is not painted to my best standard but I think he will do. I had to forgo some highlighting. About a quarter of that time was spent painting my first NMM. I decided I would try it out. The Imperial Eagle is NMM, and I'm quite happy with my first shot. Now I just have to write Up some Fluff, for both my entries.
Time to write up some quick fluff. Good luck all!

i am official confused now... do we make a poll...if there is an actual 31st of november...or if the deadline is till the 1st of december or maybe a further delay...^^ i actually had to redo my skintones as i was not sufficently satisfied with them as was... so i am next to unfinished all the same again^^

I am leaning this way, but I would love a consensus on that.

Can you compile the links at least? So then i know which WIPs you want.

Thanks for responding, UG. As far as modelled but unpainted entries go, I'm all for including them in the modelling category. I know everyone's been working really hard but it's a busy time of year.
I think I'll be able to get my painting done too, although it could get tight.
My last post has since been updated with better pics. I have fixed up a few things. I still need to write up some fluff. And it's good to know I still have another day! I might get better pics of my other entry.

Thank you, What is this thread you speak of? Is it that Imperial Steampunk thread? That thread is too long, it has over 100 pages. Although, I will read it fast with the new thread filtering tool.
