Big Brains - who’s the mastermind? The guy pouring over maps making the plans? Boffin in the labcoat, finger-wiggler in the robes? Psycher unleashing the power of the mind? Your entry should be brains over brawn, using their mind to overcome obstacles. Or literally brains, in jars, floating, or shooting martian death rays.

Size (doesn't) matter - Paint something really big (giants, ogres, superheavy vehicles) or really small (halfings, snotlings). Models with ridiculous oversized weapons or wargear also fit. If you want to go meta, try something in a scale you don't normally work with. Your entry should be defined by its size.

Death - Along with taxes, it’s unavoidable. Grim reapers, executioners, Undead and those that hunt them. Healers who thwart it. Horse-Lords on a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Your entry should reflect on mortality.

It’s not easy being green - Technical topic; Let’s broaden our pallets. Use the color green prominently in your entry. Or be inspired by what green means. Green with envy? Nature? Blood of logical aliens? Wicked witches? Frogs? Renewable power? Whatever aspect you pick, now is the time to go green!

Poll will run for 2 days

Death, for me. Got some Gladiators to paint for Blood on the Sands.

As an Ork player with a whole raft of new models to choose from, it’s not easy being green!

I’m not going to say having the Nightbringer looming in my primed pile influenced the poll topics, but it may have happened.

A while back we talked about more technical challenges. The red one didn’t fair well in the polls, but with 11th dropping I thought I’d give green a go.

Brains is last holdover from the 3 way tie in December, needed it’s second chance.

And Size was one of the suggestions from this month. I liked the other two (Nice ride, and Out of time) but needed to pick one. They will show up later.

--
Big brains will probably be some kind of psycher. Maybe and old Eldar warlock. I need to paint something from that section of the pile of shame.

Size might be some heavy intercessors? or a dread.

Death is Nighbringer.

Green would be me getting something from the 11th box done. Or an old bit of lead from the dawn of time, ready to throw down on The Farm.

I mean I definitely will have orks to paint next month I just figured a change was called for. If it ends being Size doesn't matter I guess the Painboy would work.

I voted for Size (Doesn't) Matter, but I suspect I can find something to fit any of these themes.

Now showing Elves and Dwarfs!
