Safe. Yeah that's the one! It's the best marble tutorial I found. He also covers white/black, and sicilian orange marble too.

Final photos. I've just put all six on this post to make it easier for para.

So good. Maybe my favourite Primarch, and the choice of purple for the cloak is inspired.

Thanks! I chose purple because that's what the novels describe it as, although it has been pointed out that a warmer more red purple might be more appropriate so I may change it one day. Probably not for this contest though.

Once again a bit late to the party.
I will be taking part with my Drukhari Succubus conversion:



She will be cutting her enemies in artistic fashion while leading her wych cult to slice all who oppose her.

Well I'm also late and I don't know if I'll get a chance, but I'll post a proof here on the off chance that I make it.

If I do, I'll pick one of these four Autarchs. Possibly more than one if I really get a lot of painting done!

Ok, time for me to get back into the painting game...

Here are my HQ for my 30k Word Bearers. I want to paint the central terminator chaplain for this challenge, but I'll likely give a go to the Herald and the Diabolist as well...

Hey, thanks heaps. Yeah just constantly dry brushing the heck out of it, i would go about it differntly probably and actualy have questions to ask another time when i have finished it because my methods were strange i think but im pretty happy so far. Its all thanks to you and others from Dakka for teaching me .


Thanks mate, have good day.

*whimper*
I think I need to raise my game when I put brush to model on the avatar...

Almost done, just a few bits and the base left to finish:

It was great fun trying new things and pushing myself with this miniature.
Like trying out painting the armor in nmm, sculpting a base from clay.
I kind of like how the gold looks but its suffer abit from my rough blending. Something im going to focus on improving in the next round.

Finished

I like the “rough” blending on him. Gives him comic book vibe, in a good way. Fits the model.

Always good to push yourself to do new things and improve.

Here is a WIP shot. Need to do a bit more highlighting and decide how much blood effects I want to use before starting the base. Just can't decide if I want the skulls to look bleached or like he just got done cutting them off of somebody.

Edit: fixed pic orientation.

Looking Great Queen_Anne, really like the purple cloak to add some colour into the model.

Good luck Stormatious, I'm always impressed how well people can paint that model

Interesting painting DanceOfSlaanesh, it almost looks like a cartoon

A WIP from me to show I've actually done something.



I decided to go for terrible camo for the clothing, in my mind they would look something like this.

@XanceofSlaanesh- that is looking immense! Great work on the NMM.

@midget- an orky Ali g. Marvellous...

Here is my current progress. Getting there slowly, but I think it will be tight. Chaos stuff is just so intricate with loads of details... almost like it wants you to become a better (or at least more patient) painter.

Great work QAR - he looks awesome.

@Danceof Slaanesh - this looks amazing - I love the graphic style...I know you said 'finished' but would you consider doing the hammer and shield in a graphic style NMM as well?
I reckon that would really make this model one of my favourites of all time...
I am completely copying this style for a mini one day!

Had a disaster.
Model fell apart at the waist, and I decided that I didn’t like the purple I used as under-armour, the shoulder horns were getting in the way so I cut them off and turned them into way-stones and the green stuff finish antlers was rough as sandpaper.

So I’ve been remodelling and green stuffing an almost finished model.

Grr.

Finished my entry for this month! Had a blast with three, a trio from the Sons of Orar: Chapter Master Alavaan with two Veterans.

Good luck everyone!

Lovely clean job there. The understated highlighting looks ace.

Top quality pointing going on, but I can only imagine that the vet on the right is also shouting in the privacy if his helmet.

Its great seeing you guys great painting!

lipsdapips: sweeeet clean painting!

Thanks man. I was considering it. I never did steel nmm before so I was thinking of playing it safe and not doing too many new things at once. Was also thinking maybe giving him some magic weapon or something. But you are right it really brings down the whole look of it. Probably I cant go back, the metal paint is pretty thick already:(

Still working on mine.

WIP



Still lots to do.

Cheers,

I finished my entry, and with plenty of time to spare. I present to you my Daemon Prince of Khorne, ready to reap some Blood for the Blood God and Skulls for the Skull Throne:



I had a lot of fun with this entry. I still feel like my metallics look a bit flat, but not as bad as some of my previous work. I also wish I'd had some skulls available to put on the base, but...eh. There's probably a skull somewhere inside that Primaris helmet, so let's just go with that.

I look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!

I’ve finished painting a model! I NEVER actually finish painting figs- even the last entry I did for the competition hasn’t *actually* been finished yet!

Thank you for running these competitions, it’s spurred me into action. I’ll submit proper pics in the morning, but here he is!

Need to figure out something for my entry this month. I've been really productive, painting up about 30+ Batman minis in the last couple of weeks, but none that really fit the theme for this at all. Probably going to have to pick some LotR stuff.

Here are my finished pics.

Very nice work guys. I want to finish my damn model but i need WHITE PAINT!!!!!!!, hopefully i make it just in time.

Due to being very, very busy this month, I won't be able to finish my entry in time. If you were interested in it, it will appear on my P&M blog some day.

Finished entry:
