Feedback also welcome from anyone else that has any ideas too.

Which might actually be tricky for me, as I find myself in the unprecedented (for me) position of not having one readily on hand to paint... Shocking!

Perfect, that means I can round of my gunslinger trilogy with Cypher who is waiting for paint since his Gathering Storm release.

And here are my entry pics, I'm not to happy with his face, but I'm sure his mother wasn't either, so that's that Loved doing the cape and will try to get better at wrinkled leather in the future.

Those look amazing guys! Well done on awesome paintjobs!

I was anxiously checking the forum for the new poll subject However, I think my birthday money has me all prepped for next month!

Cheers Deadshot

Zoat 2: The return!

So the second and last of the zoats in my collection. Overall more happy with him then the first. Like the way the body turned out. While contrast paint over a pale blue, with some spot shades and highlights. Not happy with the gun. Wanted a chitanous look, but without the full gloss I did on the first guy. In hindsight, I should have punched up more contrast with highlights before the blank ink glaze. Ended up a little flat. Not happy with the face, but a lot of that is a sculpt.

Anyway, he can join his brother lurking in the obscure shelf with the one homagaunt and half dozen genestealers.

I'm 99% sure I won't finish Syll'Esske/The Bogatyr in time. Wasn't expecting to work this week so I have procrastinated, then I got called in for fifteen hours today and booked on shifts Friday and Saturday that will likely be a similar length.

Awesome stuff this month!

So my 3D printed boss is done! Printed in my home workshop, this amazing creature rose from a pile of PLA.

There comes a time in every DnD adventuring crews' life when their DM realizes that Wizards of the Coast has made rules for....

The Tyrannosaurus Rex! This truly is an adventure 65 million years in the making. Will our heroes survive?

Hey guys,

lots of great stuff in here already! After quite a long break from the hobby I suddenly had the urge again to do some conversions, sculpting and albeit a bit less so, also painting. So I hopped on here to check out what the current painiting challenge was, as that is always a great way to narrow down what to do. I did find a project I liked, defacing loyalist as always and got to work on it.

So this is my WIP shot of a new chaos warrior, not to fancy on the conversion end but I still like it. I finished painting him last night and will upload some painted pictures later today when the light is a bit better.



Keep up the good work everyone

Awesome entries peeps, it's shaping up to be a good one this month.

And I've actually managed to finish! YEET!

However, although the photos were taken last night by my lovely wife with her fancy-shmancy DSLR, I couldn't be bothered to transfer them to the laptop... So that's tonight's job!

Done. Calas typhon.

Stop that QAR! How am I ever supposed to pick up votes with white and green Death Guard when you churn out things that!

Finished! Came together quicker than I expected:

Meet the Gang Leader Drusilla and her Henchwoman Blue the final foes that you must defeat to get the gang's stash from their base.







Cheers,

CB

As promised, here are the photos of my Blood Angels Praetor:











Cheers!

First impression: tremendous work, everyone, with more to come I'm sure. I am in awe as always.

Here's a Canoness of the Bloody Rose wielding the relic chainsword Beneficence. I've played her twice and she is a Boss in every sense, taking on Intercessors in one game and Necron Warrior mobs in another. I swapped the head, scratch built an arm, swapped both weapons, simplified the cape, and customized the base. I'm pleased overall, with some aspects more than others, and looking forward to any feedback anyone can offer.

Even more, I'm excited to pore over this thread! Well done, everyone!

Everything in here is looking really great
So here is my finished entry.

All the entries are looking great this month! Unfortunately time escaped me this month due to various unexpected trips away and therefor the balrog has just been far too big to finish!

Hoping to complete a challenge every month for the following year though, definitely need to pick some better sized models to start with!

Okay, so who the hell brought a T-Rex!? That is freaking awesome and that it is going to be used in your D&D campaign only makes it more so.
QAR's enry is great as always and I really love your conversion work, Pneumo - the proportions are fantastic. I always reckon that if you can't tell that it's a conversion then you've done a good job!
The same can be said for Elnibbus' work - an interesting model, well painted - well done.

Anyhow, this month was a bit of a rush for me but I am happy with what I have got done whilst getting so hammered at work and at home -next month, I think I need something small!
When I was putting her together, I saw that she had extra arms, so I decided - why not use them? I figure a wraith construct could be made any-which-way....

Here she is!










Good luck everyone and see you next month!

Just in the nick of time (or possibly just when you thought you were safe), an over-the-top Carnifex appears to assault your eyes and your defences...

Bit late to post, but was worried I couldn't keep momentum without switching again--finished last night, so guess I did. Doing a Deep cuts copper dragon for D&D.

Proof pic from the start of the month:


And finished on my desk early this morning (and a close up from today):





Some nice entries this month, going to be fun looking at them all in the voting thread.

I'm finally done

Some insanely amazing projects coming out this month! Well done to everyone!

Wow, lots of crazy stuff here! And here's my boss:

Slipping this in at the last second! Been so busy with school and work the past few weeks.

Come on man, how are we supposed to compete against that

Good job DV8

Finally, she's finished...Szalamandra aka Sally, one of my favourite models of Infinity. I enjoyed painting her, really cool sculpt.
I pushed myself quite alot with various freehands, OSL, battle damage and even tried to do some factory toxic waste.

Well another dakka season is over...it was a great run.

Just squeezing them in got the full party and Dragon done.

My Helbrute in all his GLORY!

Damn, some epic entries on the last day! And special mention to Modock and DV8 for what are possibly some of my favourite entries of the entire year!

Modock and DV8 clearly want those dice!

Here's my final photos of The Dreaded Ambull from Blackstone Fortress.













I really enjoyed painting this guy. It got to be a struggle for the last few days as I was trying to find time to do the base and life kept getting in the way. Taking the photos was a pain as I feel ill and just want to go to bed! Still, another month on the streak. I think I might have one of the longest unbroken streaks of entering every month, not as long as Nevelon or Paradigm, and probably a bit behind Midget Gems, but I've entered every month since May 2016.

I'm looking forward to going through all the entries properly to post comments and give out votes. There's a lot of great-looking stuff!

@DV8 and Feltmonkey: Great entries

I am uh... trying to salvage my entry... it kinda didn't go the way I wanted... will try and post tonight, but I'll probably need the amnesty. :(

ah man you guys are smashing it tonight

As always seems to be the case recently I've left myself a bit too much to do so the painting brush will go down now and ill get photos up tomorrow
