@Ssisal: Since you asked for comments, I'd say you've got the colors blocked out really well and have some nice clean lines. Right now it just needs either washes or highlights (or some combination of both) to give it more depth and then I'd call it done. If you've already done it and the real thing has a nice gradient to it, then you need to retake the pictures so it shows.

Dammit Zach, that's the most disgusting, horrifying, miniature I've seen since FW released this bad boy; https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Mourngul

Thanks for the nightmare fuel!

@Spuj - from what I gather, in regards to the theme, it's pretty much a case of "if you honestly think it fits, then it fits"

but honestly, if anyone says that thing's not a beast, I'll krump 'em meself!

Zach, ARE U SERIOUS???
How can you enter something that scares grown up men in a way that doesn't let them sleep anymore???

This beast is horrifying as hell!

You will get my only vote if you promise to never enter something terrible like this again. ; D

Good - awful - job, sir.

LOL yea, its a pretty upsetting model and it evoked a lot of feelings from me personally, which in my opinion makes it special. Kingdom Death is something else
and I'll have to invest in some of their mini's in the future for personal use. Nevertheless, my entry continues and I have more:

I finished painting the nice resin base from scibor that I got for this model, and now I have a painted bloodthirster!

(it's nowhere as impressive as the one that won last month's challenge, but I happen to be very happy with it! )









And this has given me at least a bit of confidence in my painting ability, enough to tackle the other big pieces in my collection...

Got to do quite a lot of work on my Patriarch over the weekend. Still a long way to go because I want the highlights to be super bling - but you can see it starting to come together.




Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-)

Some nice stuff already, and we're still early in the month! As for my entry, I'm just getting started because earlier on I just wasn't "feeling it" with the models. Well, that and I was busy assembling some other, unrelated models.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

@Snail: If you're taking photos with your phone, take your photos in landscape position not portrait. With the home button on your right hand side. That way Dakka's photo uploader doesn't rotate your pic when you upload it.

if you take a photo in portrait, edit the photo after - just a teeny tiny crop is enough - then upload the photo adn it'll appear the right way up. weird quirk of uploading phone (iphone) photos
