Brilliant idea i hear. Shrike, you don't need a job! you just need more dreadnoughts.

Very cool work dudes. Those IG look amazing.

My humble efforts so far. Still not final entry mind you. Not happy with some bits, particularly the dirty wheels.



Check out me blog for more shots don't want to fill this up with my rubbish.

Looks great mate! Actually raises a good question, too: do finals need to be a composite image, or can they be separate shots (say, contained in a spoiler block)?

Thank you, and yes very good question. I don't think a simple picture will do you guys work justice.

Which ever photo style you prefer.

Ok, here we are. One shot of the command squad and 1 staged up.

[i]After a hard fight, the company and its command squad consolidates on the rebel defenses. As the medic tends to the wounded, the commander and Master of Ordinance discuss the fire plan for the upcoming offensive.

bebop - your words do justice to the comp. You are welcome to join just as a fyi.

The brotherhood shimmered into the heart of the ruin, only to be faced with desolation and desecration. A high, thin whine, a muffled, strangulated cry and the wet, warm spray of arterial blood - and then only the stamp of ceramite boots on gravel, the snap of colours in an alien breeze, the dwindling hum of teleporters.
The Just, senior among the Carnelians present, spoke.
"Secure the position. Purge the guilty. Burn the corpses."
The Hunter, The Headsman, The Slayer bore their grisly trophies.
The Herald, first to the fray, proclaimed their devotion to His name.
The Hammer prepared the path before them, the Warden steadied the ground beneath them.
The Word spoke forth the litany, whilst the Bearer held aloft the banner of the Frateris Gladii Equites Carneliensis, Brotherhood of the Sword of the Knights Carnelian, the Grey Knight order devoted exclusively to hunting those Astartes who have violated their most sacred oaths to embrace the anathema.
And the Spotter, oldest and wisest, of them all, saw the truth of the carnage and began to speak...
As the Sneaky Git allowed himself a toothy smile, and released his chambered round.

So, here they are: The brotherhood of the sword:


And a reverse view:

Really enjoyed doing this, if for no other reason that it means I've nearly finished my GKs as a result! Thanks again to cormadepanda for running this and can't wait to see what other folk come up with!
graven

Some WIPs

Group shot!



Guy with a mechanical arm (Can you identify it?)


I'm still waiting for parts for the bases...

Nice work everyone, I'm on the edge of being, or not being, able to finish in time now. Fingers crossed. Very inspired by your entry though graven, hopefully enough to make some solid progress today.

I am so creamed against that competition... oh my...

Hmmm. A guy can't like his chances when he submits a finished pic and the judge comments the bases are coming along...........

Looking good, KNP!

Oh, tush - and have man, your stuff is very cool.

@cormade/papa - just out of interest, the next contest is troop transport, right?

Ah, everyone's looks so GOOD

My Catachorks will make a photo-appearance tomorrow!

@inmygravenimage- just took a long look at your entry, it's freakin sweet! I love the story and all the detail you gave your squad.

Thanks man, really appreciate it! Can't beat a bit of fluff. I have realised there's no clear shot of The Herald, the classic metal justicar, but he's in a lot of other shots (maybe he should be The Photobomber instead ? ) so I'll let that slide I guess. Aside from a ton of conversion work and general gsing I tried to work outside of my comfort zone with things like gs cloaks, darktone and varnish progression, heavier osl all round, blood spray on the angel of ecstasy, etc. I'm glad it's paid off!

LOL... I see your point... *sniggers* but as graven mentioned... you are on equal ground with your models and the display base!

Hey the next competion Is a secrete.

Ok bit scared here, but as I have always maintained, I am not in this to win, it has been a great experience so far and has made me push myself.

Here is my Entry.



The other pics are spoilered so I do not fill up too much space.









For Wips I suggest my blog, too many to post.

Good Luck to all the work on here is simply amazing. Honoured to be part of it.

Wow! Nice job. It's all the little details that make it for me, like the exhausts and mortar shells.

Dammit, I really should get back to work on my entry...


Hopefully I'll finish painting at least 2 more guys so I can have a trio of awesome

They are indeed gks, just very dark grey - grimdark grey! And thanks, glad you like em!

Those bikers are great but the whole scene just sets them off brilliantly, good job dat ork!

Ive decided to atleast have a go at a base... the downed marine int he corner will be given a coupleof more chaos friendly parts and different paint so he doesnt look like a loyalist XD This is my first time creating some sort of mini diorama base...

Good man! That the spirit!
