Here's my progress on Master Lazarus since yesterday. All that's left is the base.

Here's my proof, the Dreaded Ambull from Blackstone Fortress.



I took the proof pic a few days ago, and I've done a fair bit of work on the armour panels and skin already over the last two days.

Very slow progress this month, but still at it. Basically done with the basecoats.

Wow, it looks really good so far.

Looking good guys!

Got some WIP too, got my Lord of Contagion basecoated and a few washes done, now just to highlight and add weathering!

Thanks guys! It's been really enjoyable to paint so far, probably the most fun I've had painting something since the Imperial Knight I painted. I've spent the evening repainting his giant teeth/mandibles as I wasn't happy with the colour I used first time round. Even that, painting a bit I had already put a load of time into before, was pretty satisfying.

Yours is looking great too, Deadshot. The white looks great, and the colour choices are really good. Don't forget to paint the guts though! You've got them white at the moment. My guts recipe - Screamer pink, highlight up with Bugmans Glow, Cadian Fleshtone, and Rakarth Flesh, then a wash of Coelia Greenshade. Then you can add a bit of Nurgle's Rot.

Not necessarily final pics as they're a little rough, but I'm in this month with Count Dooku. Star Wars did pretty well for me last month, hopefully I can carry that forward!



Any thoughts welcome!

Here are the finished photos. Tried to do two new things this month - zenithal undercoat and animal print.

Fairly last minute entry for me!
Here's my proof pic:

The final boss is emerging off the assembly line.
It is a 3D printed monster from a recent kickstarter I backed. Rawr.

lol interesting duke

Well done for finishing Para and Jjohnso11

Really looking forward to see how you paint that model Felt, I really liked it when they released it.

I'm about 95% finished with calas, but I've been distracted painting middle earth stuff and now have no motivation to finish. Going to have to suck it up and power through at some point this week.

I know what you mean, painting those organic shapes and creatures has always been the most fun part for me! I'm really looking forward to the final result!

lso thanks for the feedback and the guts recipe! I've got a plan for the guts later on but it sounds like such a cool outcome I'm tempted to abandon mine!

Excellent as always Para! Glad to see you are feeling better as well! Really nice model and I'm extremely impressed with the subtle OSL from the lightsabre! I guess the temptation with OSL, especially lightsabers, is to make it intense and bright but your finish looks fantastic!

Great job Jjohnso! The animal print is looking really fab, especially for a first try and while I'm no expert on zenithal, my eye is drawn very much to his face and shoulders and away from his base so I think you've done a good job!

Edit: see later post for final pics
Morgraur Rashaar finished. As always feedback is very much welcome and appreciated. Good entries coming in from everyone so going to be another tough month when it comes to deciding who gets the vote.

Just started second layer, will be shading soon then onto Metallics

So, see if I can scrape under the wire with my bossy Chaplain:

Nice. I'd make the red more vibrant though.. Get some orange tones into it to compliment the blues. Maybe use orange as a spot colour in the eyes too

I finished Master Lazarus yesterday.

So many lovely entries.

I am still working away on my Escher Gang Leader to stand on the terrain.



If I get her completed in time I might add her sidekick to make for a tougher final battle.

Cheers,

CB

PS: Decided to add her henchwoman to make it a little more interesting.


This is the two models at the same stage of painting when the first shot was taken for in-progress.

Finished my project tonight! Really fun painting something that isn't red! Not quite the Swarmlord I hoped to be doing but still a great fun project! Better pics later in the week!

Some great models being entered this month! I love that Chaos Lord!
I've been hammered at work and at home, so this is a really late start for the project I have in mind for this month.

Still - go big or go home!

Great shout QAR I will give that a go.

For those worried about time, I’ve arranged for a whole extra Saturday to be added to the month this year, so that should give everyone a little more breathing room over the last few years. Your calendars should already be updated.

(Always nice when leap-years give us an extra Saturday. We need more of those)

Edit: final pics
Thank's again for the feedback QAR, is this along the lines of what you had in mind? I have redone the edging with fire dragon bright rather than pink and used some red ink to tint the overall shade closer to orange.

Feedback also welcome from anyone else that has any ideas too.

yeah those oranges compliment the blue nicely!

As a reminder to anyone who's joined us in the last year, March will be the traditional Space Marine round to kick off the nee challenge rotation for Year 6.

Which might actually be tricky for me, as I find myself in the unprecedented (for me) position of not having one readily on hand to paint... Shocking!

Hmmm I wonder to which model shall I choose.

I might have to go for another world eater after the success of my last one this time last year.

I picked up that labyrinth of the necrons game recently so will probably do the 5 minis from that

Perfect, that means I can round of my gunslinger trilogy with Cypher who is waiting for paint since his Gathering Storm release.

And here are my entry pics, I'm not to happy with his face, but I'm sure his mother wasn't either, so that's that Loved doing the cape and will try to get better at wrinkled leather in the future.
