We're 9 days in and I've got nothing to offer. Nothing that really fits the theme, and I don't think I'd have time to finish anyway. Besides, you're probably all sick of seeing my Stark Crusaders every month!

I'll try to be back in next month. Good luck everyone!

no were not. at least im not man.

If it can ride in a drop pod.. it flies. if it can ride inside a spaceship it flies.

I'm stuck on choice.
I have my KoS, but I don't think people will see the link to the theme unless I put it chasing a guardsman in the final work.

I have my daemon prince, which is based on a Pegasus.

I have a commissar on a jetbike because why wouldn't that exist in the 80s?

Okay so this has been sitting around for aegis so I suppose this contest could be the kick in the arse I need to do it....
Don't expect miracles as it'll probably just be done to my standard scheme but we'll see if I can do something a bit good.
Proof....

I think I'm in love..

Thanks for the support

I've got a bunch of stuff I'm in the middle of, but I'll do my best to be back in in Sept!

WIP - She is now built...

Nice day so manged to get it primed, bit on the cold side but everything seems to be fine.

Mah proof:

finally got most of the crappy old paint job off these - for the record, I'm going for 3, but we'll see if I can manage more

Well update for me.

According to amazon My Vengeance/Shroud was delivered on Monday afternoon with the post. . Spoke with seller.
So i get to go into the post office and file a complaint. I didnt take it out of the mailbox, neither did my gf. none of the neighbors saw anything and one of them is older gent that sits out across the street all day watching the street construction.

good news is, seller will next day another to me once i get the claim number to them.
bad news is, cant trust someone in the neighborhood.. or one of the guys replacing the sewer line.

After failing to get a proof pic or finals submitted for last months comp, I will have to try harder this month, got hold of some jump packs so will have a go at trying to get a better pose out of my snapfit marines and start on one of my planned assault marine squads. Proof picks to follow a.s.a.p.

That sucks :(

I've had stuff stolen out of my mailbox, it's really just grrr. Not to mention a felony if someone's caught...

Good luck getting a replacement!

I will be entering my 5 ashen claws blackshields for this one (hopefully it is okay)

Will try and get some proof picks this weekend, got hold of some jump packs so will attempt to convert a snapfit tac marine into a assault marine.

Got some work in on the assault marines, no idea what I will paint the rims of the bases though (maybe a grey?)

Good to see people making progress. All I've done so far is accidentally break both (both!) arms off one of my Scourges. So if your minis are in exactly the same state as when you took the proof photo, you're still ahead of me, as I'm going backwards.

Update: My hours make it difficult to get into a physical post office. But i made it in only to find out that the package from amazon was not insured so i could not file a claim with the post office. The clerk at the post office said to call amazon, they have an a-z replacement policy. Spoke to Amazon, after them looking at my account and seeing ive never filed a claim with thousands of dollars of purchase history amazon is trusting me that the package was stolen; and has asked the seller to replace the land speeder vengeance kit for me, and has promised to call me in exactly 24 hours time to let me know if the seller will replace it for me. IF the seller does not choose to replace it, amazon will for me. Ive never been more happy to have been a prime member for a few years now.

It sucks that the seller is eating the cost of the kit, but i did not get what i paid for so had to call and do what i can. Ive got some other things have ordered from the same seller, no issues with previous stuff, and a couple things i ordered non-prime from them cuz they were awesome before. I know that I am leaving long good seller feedback.

I dropped my hell blade and chipped the tip of the tail off.
Other than that i have the metals base coated.

Great to see some more Deffkoptas entered Guildenstern

Good work Methebest, glad the model wasn't too badly damaged, you look like you are making good progress.

Everyone else keep going, I'm hoping to see some good flying action for this months entries

I'm actually struggling a bit with my stormboyz, I've still got one colour left to basecoat on the 5 of them, then there's all the highlighting, shading and detail work, then I want to whip up some smoketrail flight stand base decorations for them...eh, still a good 2 and a half weeks though, so I should be able to get 'em done...hopefully

there's actually quite a lot to paint on those dudes...there's the ork boy (basically), then the rokkit pack which is nearly as big, and detailed as an ork boy, and the extra techno-gubbinz on them...so it's closer to painting 10 models than 5 really...they are great-looking models though! I love 'em!

Literally dropped the KoS, so I'm subbing in my pony.

buttery nooo!...is it salvageable? ...darn shame...but your sub entry should work nicely too mate ...reminds me of this chap I painted a few months back




ehh, well anyway, since I had my camera out to take a pic of him^, here's a wip shot of my stormboyz so far...still a ways to go...

I'm making good progress, all of the basecoating is now done. Here's a not-great WIP shot:

Next thing to do is shade everything that needs shaded, and then do some highlights. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

Nice job Zerg. Fun figs to paint eh

@butter - :( sorry to hear that man, I really like your subbed entry tho!
@ZoBo - omg! LOL that's *awesome*!!

damn summer holidays keeping me so busy and tired. not had time to even bat an eye lid on my storm boys

Getting there with the marines, just a little bit left.

The KOS has been repaired.
Took longer than building it did. Sigh.

I'll see how I get on tomorrow.

Damage isn't that bad, its just that non brass line at then end, going to see if the superglue holds through the drybrushing, if it doesn't i'll leave it off and noone will realise its missing.


It survived now i just need to paint the purple inbetween the trim, going to be fun.
