Wow awesome stuff this month!
I like the bomb rats quite a bit- gave me a good laugh, haven't seen those models yet.

Here are my gnolls, all done and ready to fight some adventurers.

Cheers Chris, excellent work on yours as always too.

Where did the time go this month? Can hear the pub calling so these aren't getting any more love before the deadline so will have to do. Happy new year all

Nearly forgot the proof pic

Managed to snap my pics today as I finished early at work! Proudly presenting, Vladimir Umbros, Captain of the Blood Raven's Eighth Company, Lord Executioner!

These pics plus fluff will be hitting my instagram tomorrow for anyone interested!

I've finished as much as I'm going to, only a couple of photos, because this is really awkward to get a camera on:





Might see if I can get a couple more photos of the individual tiles, depending on how I can frig a camera angle, but thought I'd get these in the bank.

Edit: OK, one more photo:

Loads of great entries coming in.

Happy New Year everyone.

Sincerely,

CB

Some good stuff coming in! Just in case anyone missed it, this round is going to run until the 2nd Jan, so still a couple of days to get stuff in.

I'll edit some more pics in tomorrow, but just for the sake of getting something in before midnight, here's a wizard and a bunch of zombies:




Really pleased with this one, did what I could to evoke the book cover of Half-Blood Prince and I think that more artistic, painterly approach has worked nicely whereas just going for the movie look would have left it a bit flat. Was done as a late birthday/early Xmas present for my brother who's a huge Potter fan, and he was thrilled, so mission accomplished in any case!

That's a really nice piece Para; definitely more arty as you say (and that works!)

'Fraid I'm not going to make it this month. Too much RL things were going on with the holidays and stuff, plus working retail is very draining this time of year. I fully intend to be back in action next month though.

Still a day or so left here, but in the mean time, here's 2020's first challenge!

Cool, I'll submit my entry tomorrow.

Nice entry Para, I like it when you mix your light and dark colours hope you are feeling better now

I'll also get my photos in sometime tomorrow, was a good idea to extend the deadline, meant I could spend New Years with the Wife rather than sneaking off to paint

Good call Midget Gems.

Cheers,

CB

I'm out of the open round, I managed to basecoat the priest and that's all.
I will add them to the pile of shame and finish then in between other projects

Done, thanks again Para for extending the deadline, I wouldn't be able to make it. These took longer than I expected, they carry too much equipment...

Unit of Frontoviks.

Top stuff. Calling it to a close soon, OP update and vote coming when I'm eventually over this bloody flu! Sorry for the delay!

Wow Modock so many edges to highlight there, they look rather impressive

Hopefully just getting it in in time my Xmas Themed Entry - Da Red Gobbo

Should someone host the vote? Seems Para is really sick. Hope you get better soon.

If someone wants to volunteer, that would be fantastic. But the trouble is that as the illness kicked in mid way through December, I didn't get the OP compiled in the first place so if someone did do it themselves they'd have to work from scratch, hence why I didn't ask as that's loads of work to ask someone else to take on.

As I said in the other thread though, I'll try and get the OP done tonight, so if someone else is happy to set up the poll then I can hopefully at least give them the OP to work from rather than doing it from scratch completely. Otherwise, I can do it myself, it just might be a couple of days from now before it's all together. Apologies again for the delay, hopefully this flu will sod off at least moderately soon!

get yourself on the lemsips. my signature brew is 2 sachets, a spoon of honey, a squirt of lemon juice and a slug of jack in a cup of hot water. works like a dream, especially before bed. maybe skip the jack before work though.

Made a poll. Let me know if I missed anything.

Brilliant, thanks so much for that! All looks good to me. Just checking as it's the one thing I can't see from my end, did you set it to the usual 5 day run time?

I didn't know it worked like that, I'll change it now.

Excellent, thanks again.

Made some decent progress today and got some better pics, the cloak and trousers need more highlights and metallics need finishing but feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
