haha in case someone grasses you in?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit late to the party, but since I decided I was going to paint my Pysker next, I figured I might as well join the fun too.

Have you got a rear shot of that Draconic Lord? Has he got a force weapon on his back?

It does look weird from this angle. Yes, it's his force weapon, a katana. I glued him so it looks like he has his katana mag-locked to his power pack while he's busy shooting lightning from his right hand and fireballs from his left.

Nah you're not late TDL, only started two weeks ago

Here is a still pretty WIP update on my entry:


I'm not happy with the gold (Vallejo model air gold) It came out with little bits in it, I'll try a few washes and a few more layers of gold to fix it. Just that, might re-paint the chest skulls (22 skulls on this model) and think of something to do with the gigantic axe. Khorne Bloodthirster eat your heart out.

Not sure I'm going to be able to complete the challenge as I have damaged the tendons in my right hand playing rugby last weekend and can't hold brush properly at present.

I added the space marine casualties to my order as part of the golden ticket entry last week partially for this competition and also since I've wanted those for a while. I plan on painting those to go along with my other dead space marine. When I get them I'll post proof pictures, but right now they're still stuck in MS somewhere due to the ice storm shutting down the fedex hub and GW main shipping... Heck, our local GW didn't even get its normal inventory for this week, due to the weather.


Noodles, It's looking really good so far, are you planning on leaving the helm white? I'm still jealous of everybody who can paint yellow super well.

You guys remember my Marine Ork? Of course you don't. He's primed and been given a few basecoats, now I just need to do some highlighting... Oh boy.

OMN, that guy is looking awesome! Love the crushed Word Bearer on the base, and the yellow is fantastic. Any weathering plans, or are you keeping him clean?

Although it really can't compete with some of the talent on display here, here are a few WIPs of my Wolf Lord. Still a fair bit to do, but he's coming along nicely enough for my standards.

That is cool dude.

Some cracking looking entries here. Nice work folks

++FAITH IS ETERNAL++

More Cassor the Damned goodness
He's had a coat of Leadbelcher and a wash of Nuln Oil to all the metal/silver bits since the pic was taken but alas, camera's battery ran out of juice.
Here you go..

Annd for some reason my pics are all showing sideways.. ffs.

Awwww snap. AoV's throwin down the DCCW gauntlet is he? Guess I should get to work!

I thought you were a DA! *Throws back head and wails*

You know I have a dreadnought too...

But, I think I will stick to what I already asked about. (Poor GMS is probably sick of waiting on his marine anyways! (Thanks Papa Nurgle, if you catch my drift. ))

OMN, that fist is stellar. The contrasting shoulderpads make the model.

If this is what I'm up against, I don't have a hope.

Yeah, between what I see so far and the Golden Throne project makes me want to sell my paints. But, this contest is the kick I need to start painting... and there is an event this weekend I signed up for at my FLGS just so I could paint.

I think AoV (like myself) suffers from CADD (Chapter Attention Deficit Disorder)! Too long painting one Chapter and he has to go to another! Although I think he's managing to keep to just DA and BA, while I have 4 Space Marine armies that are technically 'in progress'

Yeah, it's hard to fight. I just love the marines and their little gubbins, especially if you give them trophy bits. (Problem with nid bits are, they're so big they fit on dreadnoughts and termies better than Marines.) I am just about to ding 1000ish points for my Sons, and I am planning my own chapter. Problem is I am eyeballing Krieg and Scions... (and I told myself that if I paint all my Sons then I get to get an Imperial Knight.)

Quick Update (got three almost done just doing decals at this point)

Got snowed in for a week down here so I busted out the paints and here is what I have so far

Not really CADD. More like Angels of Death a la the days of 2nd ed/3rd ed

@para: Thanks mate, glad you noticed the word bearer , I might do some weathering, yellow is a good colour for battle damage. Your Wolf Lord is looking none too shabby, that's a cool conversion of the AoBR captain, love the base and the freehand designs on the pads and cloak Great work on the fur too !

@ Schlyne: Yellow isn't that hard, just like all marines it's really really tedious without an airbrush for lots of marines. Yep, white helmets are a thing of mine for veterans. might give it a dark wash to bring out more of the contrast though.

@angelofvengeance: Cool dreadnought! It's good that we are seeing a few of them being entered here.

Thanks stormwall

CADD has never been a problem with me, IGADD has, so many possible guard armies, not enough time to make them all ! I find marines too boring to paint many of them.

Cheers for the feedback on Cassor everyone. He should look pretty badass stomping his way to the front line with my Death Company squad (they're sort of taking a back seat for now as I may go into some sort of Red Thirst painting all those fething blood drops on them!!)

I have the first entry finished, this armsman is ready to repel boarders!





And I have a second one coming up, with that armoured hood, a shock maul and rivet gun, still WIP but coming along nicely...

Are you making an entire army of these guys? They look cool as heck.

nice. How are these guys marines though?

Well, Marine traditionally means ship-based soldier, those are soldiers aboard an Imperial Navy ship, so they count.

Uh. He did say Armsman. The contest can be any Naval forces marine. You know, the actual definition of Marine, an amphibious soldier of the sea. The sea in this case being space as humanity has progressed farther than just oceans. That is why we're seeing dreadnoughts, all the way to dudes like this.

I think I explained that right, Para scold me if I didn't.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

Hey that means I could use my Infinity Sekban.... nah need to finish that dread.
