As always, 2 days to pick a theme. Your options for August are:


Rebel Scum: Heroic feedom fighters, dissident cultists following dark powers, sinister organisations plotting from the shadows; wherever there is authority, there are those who will challenge it. Your entry should incorporate such individuals or groups.

"Smashing!": For some tasks, guile and cunning can achieve success. For everything else, there's always the option of grabbing the biggest axe/wrench/log to hand and battering down any opposition! Your entry should feature models capable of defeating their enemies through a healthy application of brute force and ignorance.

Be Brave: Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome it. The greatest warriors stand indomitable in the face of terror and hold their ground against most fearsome foes. Your entry should feature such stalwart and unyeilding individuals.

Honour Bound: Whether knightly vows, pledged servitude or zealous commitment to some greater cause, your entry should feature individuals who are called to battle by some oath or creed beyond simple duty or pragmatism.

Eh. Could probably rustle something up for all of these. I went for smashing so I can paint some more emps children kakophoni.

I went with Rebel Scum as I have an Awing sitting on the undercoat turntable

Rebel might be hard, but should be OK for the others. Voted Brave.

Im going to joint his month (for sure this month) with my shadow specters.

So Honour bound or or be brave has to be

As always, I could find something for any of these. I went with Rebel Scum to force me to work on the Maelstrom's Edge Broken I assembled around the beginning of the year.

Rebel Scum is probably easiest for me, but I should be able to make anything work...

Rebel Scum

Delaque gang has arrived.

Cheers,

CB

Voted for Smashing, itching to paint She-Hulk (although I won't convert her as nicely as QAR did).

Need to get more Dark Angels done, so had to vote for Honor Bound. I could probably figure something out for the rest if I had to though.

Rebel Scum for me, finally I get to paint something.

You could use Dark Angels for Rebel Scum too, nudge, nudge, wink, wink…

Rebel scum for me. I have some goblins for D&D that need a paintjob. I figure competition might be the motivator I need.

You guys are going to make me dig some upstart rebel out of the pile of shame.

<grabs the shovel>

Thought I could keep working on my Dark Angels, but it looks like it's gonna be Rebel Scum.
I have some other stuff left that might fit, but it's gonna be something very different for me.

One thing I like about this contest is how it pushes us out of our comfort zones. That’s where the growth is.

Jeez looks like rebel scum is going to win hands down. Guess I'll be painting my maloghurst earlier than planned.

How original...

Honestly Rebel Scum is the one category that I basically have nothing for. I'll have to dig deep. Of course, I likely won't even have time to paint anything that isn't directly connected to my upcoming return to 40k tournament play, so it may be a moot point.

During the last All Space Marine challenge, one entry was a unit of Eldar Shining Spears, one of whom had a Space Marine impaled on its spear. If you have any CSM stuff left, you could use it to decorate a large base or something. I, for one, would be willing to count that.

The best place for rebel scum is base decorations for victorious loyalists.

All yuor base!!1!111

That was actually mine, although I think QAR would've done a very cool take on her as well! Much moodier than I would have approached it, I think!

Wow Rebel Scum kind of just shot up overnight, huh? I'll have to give it a solid think for what I want to paint.

Oops, sorry, but let‘s face it, it was a 50:50 chance I‘d get it right

Of course rebel scum wins after I painted Cassian Andor and K2

Yeah I haven't done any MCP yet. Did you mean the she hulk with the phone box? That was sick.

Honestly, I have too many choices but if you want a Korra I could print one for ya

I have just signed up for my first tournament so its going to have to be my eradicators to finish my list. Will see what rebel scum i can find for basing decor!

I have my entry ready for this, hopefully CB wont be too disapproving of my choice

I’m going to have to make sure The Chaplain is securely locked in the display cabinet for the month.

The Codex does not approve of this action.
