Some amazing work coming in, folks!

Here's the subject poll for January:

Here's my finished Sanguinary Priest

So the airbrush OSL progress is fine, but very unhappy with the hand brushed highlights. NMM is not for me it seems. I was trying for a subtle moonlight from above to get some interesting from above, but it really hasn’t happened.

Thankfully, resetting to black should be easy and I’ll give it another go with the airbrush instead

My phones camera has gotten significantly worse since the latest updates to the OS. If the photos are too crappy please say something! I am looking at buying an actual camera here in a little... just need to get the one camera I want.

Your photos don't look so bad. They look pretty good actually. And good work on the model.

Thats good news and I appreciate you saying so. I did just find a camera that might work so this next months photos (and maybe this months) will hopefully look better.

I was worried I’d not make these in on time, in fact I had another one almost complete but I’ve not had opportunities to paint the last week or so and I’m just going with these three.

So here it is, another home-made threesome for my Burrows and Badgers collection.

A Witch Hunter and Two Witches to hunt.

Oooh nice! I was admiring the bunny and her cuteness when I realized that's all freehand on that banner. It didn't immediately strike me and I had to double take. That's awesome!

I love the subtle patterning on that banner, theCrowe.

Thanks Freya, thanks Pariah Press, the larger gold and red icons on the banner are all putty but the patterning in the white section and the around the blue edge is freehand. I was hoping for a lighter grey for the white patterning to let it be a bit more subtle like in the blue border but I think maybe the darker grey shows up better in the photos anyway.

Abbess Hild the Huskey baring the standard for the witch hunter cause. Then the witches are Mildred the Mole (she might be the worst witch) and a rabbit they call Wild Rose. (Who came out much cuter than my sculpting tools intended!) She’s a pretty happy bunny.

Mildred can't be the worst witch... Maybe a little short sighted perhaps, but surely not actually bad! (its ok, my coat is on the way out anyway... )

The banner is awesome and the bunny sculpting is great as well. Love the twining flowers.

Phew, managed to get this done despite it being pretty much half built two weeks ago.

Finished pics: Scratchbuilt Kustom Boosta Blasta


Even though this is not the biggest kitbashed / converted model I've done, it was definitely the most challenging one!
Building the body out of plasticard was a pain, especially as I tried to follow the blueprints of a 1934 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe.
After it was done the real fun started.
It is a bit crooked, but hopefully in an Orky way. All in all, I'm quite happy how it turned out.

You should be well happy with that. The close up shot really shows off your excellent distressing/rust/chipping all that good stuff. It’s a real rat-rod. Love it!

Finished!

After totally screwing up the hairy brush highlighting, I went back with a dark blue airbrush blend, and I'm much happier. Is it realistic? probably not, but I think each of the different light sources are picked up fairly well.

Least happy with the red, but that's just because I did that over the top of the rubbish hairy highlights, couldn't tidy the edging up, and didn't want to go back to the start on that face...

Man (well paint) of the match goes to the Space Marine Paint Set Ultramarine Blue from about 1988, that remixed perfectly and ran through my airbrush super smoothly for the re-working of the back highlights.

Not sure what I'll do with it,but it can sit in the display case until another Stargrave or Necromunda game comes along needing a big nasty mecha-wolf thingy!

Done! I had these boyz sitting around since their release, finally got round to painting them. I do think they are missing something, though. Something to tie them all together.








Aaaaand the crappiest proof pic ever.

Sorry for the late photo.

Great work everyone. Still some time left! Roughly 48 hours from this post.

Quick edit to replace my photos, with (hopefully) better shots!


Strong entries so far!
Currently on holidays, so struggling to get good photos of these models - here's the best I can get done:

















Three Iron Warrior Traitor Astartes for my Kill Team.

Good luck everyone and have a great new year

I've got a few ogres painted for this month. I was planning on finishing a few more but ran out of time, there are a couple more almost done, might add them if there is an extension.
Here's the proof and finished ogres

Fantastic work everyone, I havent even primed mine too much IRL stuff going on.

Will re enter in the new year.

Final pics, Super Mutant Behemoth from Fallout Wasteland Warfare. Really enjoyed this one, probably did the metals wrong way round as I painted them up as NMM then weathered rather than doing the weathering as i went along but pretty pleased with the end result.

Happy new year everyone!

So much amazing stuff, voting will be very hard. Here are my entries, some Spider-Verse action:

Coming in at the last moment with Lt. Titus of the Ultramarines, hero of the entirely-unexpected Space Marine 2 (still can't believe they're making it, loved the first one). Dialed up the grimdark and gore a bit more than usual in homage to the game's ludicrous ultra-violence and overall grim tone, the result is a little messy but I do think it evokes the feeling I'm going for, just about...




As a reminder to everyone, new round will be up tomorrow, but there's still an extra day left on this one!

Can't recall if I posted a proof of the crossbow ladies, but decided I didn't like how they came out. Decided to do a printed stl file from Heroforge of a rat lady:


And finished pictures:

Hi All

Been a tough month, really busy in the run up to xmas and then the week after I finally finished work I got covid which took me out for a while, just about managed to get something done while in isolation

But still have an extra day here. So walk off that hangover, and get some pics up. Happy New Year.

I got all six of mine to a point where they’re worth entering, not done per se, but I’ll be posting at some point today and getting them to 100% on my own time. Happy New Year all!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
'Ere we go, I keep looking at these and seeing more that needs to be done, but for the sake of the competition, here's my entry. Please don't include the first (spoilered) pic, it's just proof that I got all six in the squad up to the same level of doneness; since we can only have five minis, one of the grots didn't make the cut.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Great job.
The sister's painting is very good and the details are well highlighted.
Out of curiosity, did you sculpt the 3D model of the head? or what model / file did you use?

Finished off a couple more ogres today. Not often I reach the 5 model limit for a month



and the pictures of the other three posted earlier so they are all in one place

Here is my entry, the Verminlord Warpseer.
