Subject: Comrade and Papa's Round 4 :The Brotherhood round:
Finally I have some progress to show, albeit not a lot. They're all built, and if the weather cooperates I should get them primed and make a start on painting this week.
Here's the group shot, followed by individual shots in the spoiler tag.
Spoiler:
No orks I'm afraid

Well, I've finally dragged my sorry hide to the store to buy a new paintbrush and another pot of gold (took lots of rainbow following, *ba-dum tss*), so hopefully I'll start work soon.

Well no, I tend to use three or four- a big fat one for basecoating/big things, standard brush for, well, standard stuff, detail for the detail, and fine detail for the fine detail, but I'd lost my detail brush (If you saw my desk, you'd understand )

I literally have piles of random gubbinz- I'm fairly sure there's half a chocolate bar and possibly a book I was halfway through in there somewhere, too...

Why is everyone brining out display boards for their minis? I don't like having to compete with those, they always make the minis and things look even more awesme...

And I've gotten no further either, damn you Space Marine project!
Thirded
Actually, from what I can tell, the rules only say "basing" is mandatory, so I'm guessing that can just be each model's actual base, and any extension thereof is optional?

There is no cut off entry, Panda will be more than welcome to have more contestants... the end of the contest is the 30th of May if I remember correctly.
The Justicar, first of all - Majority of the conversion work here is the hands and left arm. Switching for classic gk sword, loading out a SB. Test of whether the build design would work. Has been slightly tweaked from the original design, some brass on shoulders etc.
Brother (Shepherd?) Book - I really don't know where these awesome books and scrolls originated, but these guys seemed perfect for them. Added some etched brass as a bookmark etc.
Classic GK - New arm/hand and gs cloak added so that he fits the brotherhood aesthetic. Again, it's about combining variety with cohesion.
Warder - A much more elaborate conversion, although not necessarily obviously so: it's the TLC sword brother. Major gs cloak reconstruction occurred here, and I'm very pleased that you can't tell (I don't think). Also, he bridges the BT figs with the "real" GKs nicely, I think.
Hammerer(erererer) Speaking of bridging designs, this is an all-plastic build (apart from the =I= on his hood), though aiming for the more BT end. And hey, if BT sword brethren can have TLC, mine can have a hammer.
More beards! Far and away the simplest conversion, hand swaps and brass etch again; possibly my fave pose.
Not Ezekiel... Lots of fun here. I think he really fits with the others, especially with that honking great scibor daemon head.
Another very DA build: I love the metal gk sword on this guy, it really ties the pose together. He, again, has been reposed from the original build; like all of the not-BTs, has had waist chain added, for instance.
Big gun! I do love the sheer ridiculousness of this. Big gun, big scroll, all kinds of death.
And what would a brotherhood be without a brotherhood banner? Of course, you can't take brotherhood banners with Interceptors, I hear you cry. Tough. They're a brotherhood, they get a banner. And added so he's particularly useful. I am in two minds about this pose. The balance and weight of it are right, with him striking the banner down, the incinerator at hand, foot climbing upon rock - but arguably, he looks like he's toppling. Hmm.
Anyway, that's where we are so far. Red for our Carnelian cloaks, white for brotherhood tabards, and then on to all the tricky details!
