Ezki and Mr Nobody, the snow globe and bauble respectively are both amazing! Really nice and great inspiration too, not something I'd have thought of trying - maybe next year...

Despite the best efforts of lake-effect weather of western New York I made it home safe. So we get to keep at this whole painting contest thing. Extension granted, we’ll wrap this up at midnight on the 1st.

Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound! Going to need that extension too, didn't have as much hobbying time between travelling around family as I'd hoped.

Grubb Street Ne'er Do Wells:

All finished up with The Golden Paladin! Or as I like to think of him, The First Bretonnian





I do love all the entries so far, happy new years everyone!

Great work bong264 - he looks amazing, especially in such a quick turnaround. Love the mixed metallics, and the strong colours are very Medieval Hero. Well done!

Beautiful faces, JoshInJapan - especially the eyes! You've done a great job with the colour palette here, providing spots of colour without making them look overly garish which suits the sculpts I think.

Get some, Maharg and john_chandler, you got this!

@Maharg, love the colour palette you’ve chosen for those dwarves!

Not quite up there with the other entries (the baubles and snowglobes are just fantastic!) but finished the painting this morning.

Introducing the Kil-More Girls:

One notorious terrorist, right on time for the fireworks!

Hera Syndulla:

Great work everyone and welcome to the last minute entries. Let’s get that last push going and get some more minis across the finish line to end the year on a good note!

Robotech Mecha

Evening All

I've had a rather busy Xmas period and and been Ill the last few days as well so progress has not been as hoped.

Putting some placeholder pics up and will do a final bit of touching up and proper photos tomorrow, that way I can go to bed (Happy New year everyone and I hope you all had a good Xmas)

Everybody cracking on some nice paintwork. Especially like seeing bad squiddo!


For my entry, to somewhat lower standard:
Proof pics of some mechs with the first post prime layer on:



Final pics of some last minute lyran guard:

Got my entry done. Bit phoned in perhaps, but it's more stuff out of the pile. Here are my Tomb Kings Skeleton Horse Archers:



Just some more solid goons to fill out the undead ranks of my Tomb Kings army. Definitely not my best work and I don't expect many votes, but at least I got something done. Way too many distractions keeping me away from the painting desk of late, what with the new job and all, so it's nice to get back to it before the year is out.

Keep the entries coming in! We’ve got until the end of the day to finish and grab those pictures.

But don’t let that stop you from starting this month’s topic:

Happy New Year.

Just finished painting the rims. Got a coat of varnish to give them and a little shrubification of the bases and it will be photo time.

Last minute wally on!

I should probably take some slightly better photos before the end!

I hit a mental wall, and didn't get the other 3 minis painted, just the two scratch-built dreadnoughts from early in the month.

repeat pics to hopefully make things easier for Nev:

Sorting some final highlights and trying out a magma effect on the sergeant power sword. Will be done later today.

Took some slightly better angled photos for my entry so this is the final one!






Good luck everyone and happy new year!

Okey Dokey… all finished. I was racing at the end there! Awesome stuff coming in… great to be participating again. I have had some issue getting the focus right on these pics and the images aren’t as sharp as I’d like. Very frustrating. That said, I couldn’t fiddle any more with the settings so these are the best pics I got. It’s the Three Amigos!

Well I've had to pare down my entry to just one model, but managed to get the Red Terror finished today!

I was aiming for the whole squad, but the sarge is the only one finished in time. Rest are close, but will be a few more days.
