Firstly thanks to @Midget Gems & @Gulgog Tuftoof for words of encouragement in last months poll.

No worries, looking forward to seeing these guys painted up.

Good Luck moving house BC

Gulgog - That really is a rather cool pose.

Still waiting on those Sectarii to arrive. And thinking about which ones to do. Not sure if I should enter Peltasts or Hoplites.

Done Based and Finished,Met the Ultramarine Dreadnought Lex.
Technology reverse engineered from the golden throne of terra Grants the dreadnought sarcophagus's life sustaining ability's to the marine within.

I think Tau Piranha fits nicely for this month's challenge.

They have the technology, now the question is how the did they get it?

oh hello! what are those big mosquito things, and where did you get them???

More importantly, are the “get a boot” or “kill it with fire” scale.

Judging by the person on the right, I'd say fire, and lots of it.

I'll be honest, I really just want to see one on/next to a 60mm base, to see if they'd work as nurgle plague drones

Did someone say "kill it with fire?".

...


Well, im here anyway... if you need me.

Iron Skeeters from the Sky Pirate box which includes 3 other models.

As for killing them I'd suggest a Sniper. They're used to being lit on fire. Pop the gremlin and the Skeeter will crash.

As for proxy-ing them for a 60mm based model probably not seeing as they're supposed to fit on a 40mm

Finished fairly early, Cyborg is done now. White is a tad thick, and I'm not exactly proud of it, but it looks way better in person than it does in the picture IMO.

Made some good progress on these obliterators, just gotta do some fins layering/highlights on the green and figure out what colors to paint the weapons and base them and they should be good to go! Don't think I'll win or get too many votes this time around but I needed to light the fire under my butt to get them painted up and start the conversions on the other two and figure out my paint scheme for all 6 of them. Everyone's stuff is looking good so far and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up/ends up with!

Okay, started painting my Big Mek this week and didn't come out as bad as I thought(this is the first thing I've painted in over 12 years). I've got to finish this this weekend though as I'm away with work for 3 weeks so will miss the deadline. It's just the blurst of times!

Gremlins copy *everything*!

Now don't forget to do the "drop a piano on their head" marker

Jealous! I haven't got Zipp yet :(

Excited to see what you do with him and the Skeeters =D

Behold! The mighty Tesla Tank!

Are you going to paint that red alert colors mainly red? from command & conquer,and nice tank!

No. It will be in same color as all my other vehicles. I'll play this thing as a Executioner LR variant.

My proof pic:



I took this a few days agao, and have started painting it. So far, everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong.

The miniature is the Legendary Jesse James from Wild West Exodus. I reckon in a wild west setting, a cyborg outlaw could be considered as having advanced technology.

Tartaros and MK 4 are pretty high tech plus theres some martian death rays in the mix as well. hopefully will get some of this blob finished.

Well, I think I'm going to call these done...I could probably go a little further with them, but my camera already isn't good enough to handle the bright colours and capture a lot of the blending and stuff, so anything else I could do wouldn't be noticeable anyway...ah well ...it was a lot of fun painting these though, everything all bright and clean like that, was a real refreshing change of pace compared to my usual gritty orks and nurgle stuff!

Final pics:


*edit* - actually, hold up, let's just call this WIP for now...there's still ~16 days left in the month...I might try to get a couple more models done (also, Para...STG's entry is hidden in the spoiler tags for my entry in the OP )

moar proof's:

Here we go, my Kasrkin Stormtroopers.

Count me in

WIP

@Whittlesey40k - looking good - nice work on the monitors/control panel!

Am I too late to join?

Since it's my first time entering this I thought I'd start small - Mk IV Legionary in VHA. I'm banking on the same principle as methebest, - Mk IV is supposedly the most advanced PA - and I've upgraded mine to VHA (Well, nearly anyway - there's still a few adjustments to make) Anyway, here goes nothing...

Update for progress and to ask a question.

Heres the progress i've made on my rapier, and i've tryed really hard to make sure the colour on the side plate is not flat and has depth, but it just came out blotchy? i'm looking into a wet palette to see if this would help. wondering if you guys have anything to add?

Also bear in mind it is still WIP so the barrels and the rest of the model arent nearly done.




cheers though.

Little update...

Finished! Got to love holidays

Proof.
