Feel free to just post up a pic of where it's at now and I'll call that proof, I've made the same mistake in the past and everyone was kind enough to let me enter anyway, so it's only fair to extend that offer to you.

Dark Angels/Deathwing - just getting started!

Eldar - Biel Tan 2000pts
Space Wolves 1500pts
I thought I wouldn't be able to enter this month due to a shoulder op, but a speedy recovery and lots of time at home has meant I can!
Here is my entry it is 'Bashful Boris' from Super Dungeon Explore. I've got nearly half my set painted up now but all the mini-bosses are left to paint so this will be the first of them.

When I was entering this month, I was torn between the Fire Prism and the Tech on the bike. So I put both up as part of my proof pics. While Iām sticking with my Prism as my final entry, I did just finish the tech. So if people are interested in how he turned out, here he is:
(Spoilered , as heās not my official entry)
Spoiler:
It feels the the month is almost over, but we are only halfway through. Of course, the end of December tends to arrive very quickly.

I'll probably still be doing my oldhammer orks, but in case I don't get them done, I'll post this proof of my forgefiend as a backup
^righto, so I finished my death guard/nurgle forgefiend "backup entry"...so in case I don't get my oldschool orks finished, which I'm still kinda doubtful of because there's just other stuff I'd rather be working on now unfortunately (would rather not paint them unless I really feel like it, because I teally want to do them justice)...anyway, in case I don't get to the orks, or think of something better, this'll be my finished entry for now

So, new proof since I am now officially changing my entry:
This is the Convict team and their sponsor from the Dreadball Xtreme starter set. The one guy who has some paint on him I hope is okay since he's only got primer and one coat of orange. I'll keep it down to 5 models for the final entry.
My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
Grotsnik Corp. Sorry, No Refunds.

Proof. I'm going to be painting up these Lychguard for this month. Been painting nothing but Khorne all year, so looking forward to doing something not red.
edit: forgot to attach the picture.

Nice work all! The OP should be up to date, do let me know if I've missed anyone as I've been rather busy so it's entirely possible!
Built some of the new Blood Bowl Skaven today and pending results paint-wise I might add them to my entry alongside my Rat Ogre, they're really nice models (if a little bigger than I'm used to seeing Skaven).

actually yes they replied to my instagram post I was thrilled of course! but thanks for the direct link! I'd been waiting for it but I think my browser wasn't updating :( lol
Funny they linked to the battlewagon upgrade kit not the goliath on the find out more bit lmao - well that is where I got the killkannon but still seems little odd hehe
Congrats Guildenstern, great work to get on the GW website
You ave resurrected those Eldar beautifully Elbows, they are now proud to march into war.
I'm glad you finished Santa Cron Whittelsey, I hope I'm on his nice list (unlike the rest of the human race)
Not much progress from me, I was in Vienna last week with work so only managed a a few basic colours and decide on how I want the models posed, also still some Greenstuff to do.
ohhh...ah, MG...apparently I liked your idea, and then managed to completely forget that you were doing it (it's been a busy couple of weeks )...and, ah, Just a few hours ago, I finished doing a bit of greenstuff work on a runtherd just like that, and was going to prime it and post it here tomorrow as my new entry
...and there I thought I'd come up with a nice unique idea...looks like I just subconsciously looted yours!
...Mine doesn't have a big fancy chair or grots and stuff though...I went with a "Rudolph Squighound" instead
