WIP 1. Got some metal basecoating down and a start on the base. I like this stage as I can just get the paint on without being too tidy.

Proof:

Look, I stole these proofs from the previous thread just so I can enter. Yes the marine has legs now, the first three were taken before I found some legs for him..

Wicked awesome, Storm!

I started painting today. I'll try to get some pics up after my food coma nap.

Oh man is that what some of the CAV stuff looks like, Guildenstern? I'll totally have to look into that system. I've always wondered about it.

it looks pretty awesome. They just had a new KS so should be some new models out soon. I think they changed up the scale some, made it smaller with the newer models, I'm not 100%on that. I just like the mechs etc ^_^

as for progress err i got some of the flash cleaned off my models, which was really hard to see lol

Spoiler:

Going to be an addition to Vrosh Tattersoul with his lava armour. He might be nuts, but he is getting lonely. What better way to keep him company than an oversize and incredibly angry amalgamation of Demon, machine and man?

Wish me luck!

DV Helbrute is a nice model, and really fun to paint-take it from a guy who did one and loved it! Looking forward to seeing what you do with him!

Jan, meet Gluttony.

Damn that's a nasty bugger!! Just noticed the little fella caught in his innards. Ragin Heroes eh... They do do some nice stuff

Another night another update.

This competition keeps escalating... already there are some very impressive figs.

@Jadenim: It's a Splatta Kannon from 2nd ed (http://www.40kforums.com/vb/content.php/162-Forces-through-the-editions-Big-Gunz)
I wanted another kannon in my army but didn't want it to look identical to the first, and I've always like the way these looked so I picked one up on ebay.

Heres my proof

love me some night goblins

Sweet Gulgog, I'll have to have a look for one of them, thanks!

I'm in with this beauty. I think this is the first Maelstrom's Edge model, unless I'm mistaken. There may be more depending on how easy the paint will be.



EDIT - blog is here

Love the basing idea!

Thanks BC!

Trying my hand at a lava base for Trevor

Welcome back, I was out there in March last year, interesting place but not to my style for long term living.

Looks like a great base for Trevor KB, since he seems to be sent from hell to inflict suffering on you, the lava works well

Got some painting done on the entry. Just the skin of the models. I'd have done more but got put in a really bad mood that just shut me down from work the rest of the day.

Will continue again today. Hopefully.

Cheers buddy!

If you are interested in the kind of paint scheme I am going for, have a look at my Gallery for my previous Chaos Chosen.

My only problem with the Hellbrute model is that one piece on the front did not want to be clipped in, at all and is slight raised away from the model. Not much I could do about that though!

EDIT: Hit quote on the OP instead of edit... oops!

@: that base looks great to me! But you know you're just doing that first to put off having to work on Trev!

it took me a little while to think something up for this one.
Here is my proof:

I'm in!

Not as meta as BC's Comissarception but good enough for me.

I shall tentatively say that I am in this month
(Provided everything doesn't explode into Chaos at hone again oO)
Here we have Bill the Dark Elf Dragon who has been sat on the shelf for what I think will be the last three years oO
(I hope the red is okay, its just some naff foundation red that his mouth was soaked in before I stuck his face together oO)

Well after getting the dates wrong last month, might as well five it another go, ive had this halfling for about 13 years, this is as clean as i can get him, dint even know what game its from. My sons gretchin next to him for a size comparison.

WiP:

Is it too late to add an aditional model to my proof?
I just found my old Night Goblin Shaman and want to include him if Im allowed.

sorry to be a pain

Starting work on the skin, this is more detail than I've ever done before.
So thank you for the push to join in



Hoping to borrow a real camera for some better pics as the month goes on

Alright, I may get this guy done in record time. Just waiting on the micro sol to dry overnight so I can gloss back over the decals and then matte them down. After that it is time for clean up, laying down the martian ironearth for the base and weathering powders.

I love the look and colour of that Onager Dunecrawler, it looks awesome. Out of interest, what was the base blue colour you used?

What's that? Whatever it is, I love it!

When will the league points reset? Basically I haven't entered anything before but wanted to start doing it. Wont I just be far behind on points? (not that they matter I get that, but for personal glory!)

Go on then, I'll chuck my cap in:



I hope these abide by the rule set, Para?

Depending how swiftly I rattle through these MANZ, I may add a pair of ammo grots later on..
