Its the toxic one.

Quick WIP shot of the Judiciar to prove I'm still in this thing:

At this point, the Chaplain is going to be a stretch goal as I may not have time to paint him.

Finished my blood bowl beastmen who have dedicated themselves to Slaanesh. The colours are a bit too garish, only acceptable because they worship the lord of excess.

Slaanesh Beastmen look great. Where did you get the trophy model?

I may actually finish my Herald of Nurgle this month, it was looking grim, but have had a couple of good sessions on him now.

Thanks @Archer. The trophy comes with the Chaos Chosen blood bowl team. Generally used a turn/score marker

Another bit of work in progress:

That is a lovely base Jadenim. Looks like a lot of great entries this month. Keep on painting all!

Still making steady progress. Plenty left to do but should finish on time.

Received my entry. Going to get started soon. (Hopefully).

I couldn't resist doing a Pink Chaplain. Really. It was necessary. For science. This time It's acrylics again, I'll bounce between acrylics and oils again soon.



Kitbash is as follows:

You going to put squiggles on the ribbons in the wings? Or just leave them plain?

Amazing work.

Honestly I debated that for a solid hour... I kinda like them plain and wasn't sure how I'd feel with squiggles on em. I'm curious though about what you would do if it was yours to paint?

Hard call. I’d probably tell myself I’d go back and do them later, and never get around to it. And being self aware enough to know I was lying to myself. And then feeling like a slacker.

You put lines on the smaller ones, so it stood out that the big ones were clean, which is why I asked. As a chaplain, can you go wrong with more holy scribbles?

Done! Tried out a new color scheme for the Anvils of the Heldenhammer, and I really enjoyed the process.

Honestly I think I'm just telling myself that I prefer them this way because the alternative gives me anxiety haha! Part of me is like "nope not gonna ruin it. It's good. I like it. Don't destroy it, Jessica. You like it like this"

Though you do bring up a good point... holy scribbles are things that are necessary. I might change the pics in a week... Maybe... if I change it. xD

As long as you are happy, that’s the important thing.

I suppose you could split the difference, use a micron pen and write some vaguely imperial words down it single-letter column. On the other hand, only really noticed when it was pointed out, so either way.

Ok, I am done. Introducing the Herald of Nurgle Drog'Lur, known to the Grey Knights and Inquisition as the White Worm. Very happy with him and especially the base. Also very happy to have him finished on time.

Going with a Knights Templar for this one. Both Saints or Sinners, depending on which side of the shield you're on.

Proof:

I'm not going to get fabius finished this month. I got distracted by vulkan and a few other models and haven't put any paint on him at all.

We have a week left to go, some of which might be vacation time for a few of us. I still have a bit to go on my entry (the WIP pic I just snapped was blurry, I’ll try to get a clean one later, preferably with more progress on it)

Don’t forget that you can enter at any time up to the wire, and change your entry as long as you have a proof pic of the new one without paint at the start of the month.

As another reminder, next month is the open round, so not topic, paint whatever you want. Still the 5 model limit, so if what you want is an endless horde, pick your favorite few.

Almost there guys, keep up the good work!

More progress...I think I am only going to get one Shining Spear in by the deadline.



Cheers,

CB

Cool.. I'm happening to be painting an endless horde of guardians so will pick out one or two out of the 30+ lol.

Maybe I will spend actual time on 5 I like the most and the rets can get the speed painting treatement

I'm making a trademark late run into the thread with my proof pic, like a mini-painting Frank Lampard, hoping for a fortuitous deflected top three finish. Apologies to the non-football fans who will be mystified by that reference.

I'm painting a miniature from the defunct Anima Tactics range, it's called Saint Hazael, and it's one of the oddest sculpts I own.



There are some interesting miniatures in this range. They're sort of based on a Final Fantasy style aesthetically, but they're very inconsistent in the quality. I've got loads of them. What happened was that the game was discontinued, before which I was only dimly aware of it's existence. Then one day I went into my Friendly Local Gaming Store, and they had a whole load of them which they apparently got for next to nothing when the game died, and they had them all heavily dicounted. They were all available for a pound or two each. This one was a special boss mini, discounted from £25 to £4. I bought one of each mini they had.

I'm calling these finished:

Lovely work. Really like carrying the gold onto both models. Sort of ties them to each other and gives me the feeling they are someone’s conscience made manifest.

I'm abandoning Cawl this month, he is still sat with his sprues from the proof pic I took at the start of the month ... he'll have his day ...
So I'm changing my entry to the Shard of the Void Dragon (still tentatively linked to Cawl though probably heresy to speak of!), super fun to paint this model, I thought it would be a nightmare but it's one of those models you can fully assemble and then paint without issue
Proof

WIP

Still have a ways to go. But they get finished up with washes and contrasts, so once I do a few more detail passes, they should go quick.

I got a good session in today so almost finished now.

Better late than never right?

Had planned painting other models for this theme, but did not have them at the ready and could not get my hands on them either.
So I chose two Raging Heroes models, that will be part of my girlfriends Escher gang.

I swapped the leg bits between the two and replaced the flaming sword on the other model with a plasma pistol.

They are not exactly saints, so maybe they fall in the sinner category with their poisons and schemes. Their clothing is a bit sinful at least.



Started painting these early this week, so here's a grainy WIP as well:
