Yep, sure! You can enter up to 5 minis, and if you can link them in a diorama then that's even cooler!

minus the finished guy here is the squad bodies almost finished, had to green stuff the joints, two for repositioning and one due to stripping malfunction, one more body needs paint + wash then i'll get busy with the arms

Still got some highlights on the green armor to do, and not 100% sure I like the blue edge highlight on the jump pack / thunder hammers.

Blue edge highlighting black is a tricky prospect, it can really set it off, or you may not like it. I like yours just fine, and the work on the hammers looks great. Kind of wish I as doing my highlights on my dread like that, but I picked something slightly more complicated and I"m gonna regret it.

My first evidence was just an untouched sprue, but seeing as I've actually attempted dabbling in conversions for this project, I suppose I ought to show what I've got thus far unpainted. Sanding down the helmets took some significant work, and I'm considering sanding off the imperial crest as well. After everything is painted up, I'll crisscross fishing line painted black over the helmets to represent webbing.

P.S. I wish I could link these directly from Dropbox instead of putting every image I want to share on my gallery, but something isn't working right and the links end up broken every time I try it.

Proof for chaos to go with my dark Angels!

nice chaos marines. very niiiice!

Let's hope when I paint them I do them justice!

from a quick look at your gallery, I don't think that'll be too much of a problem

Since the miniature is still drying from his first few layers from airbrushing I've made progress on his scenic base, since the Delegatus is Imperial Fist it comes complete with dead Iron Warrior:

Well...

Slight setback, my Dreadnaught decided he would be relive his days as an assault marine, took a dive into my FLGS' parking lot, scratching his paint and snapped his styrene banner pole.

However, since he's second edition he is an ironclad by default and used his face as a shield. He rolled a six, I think he did more damage to the lot then himself. (I have a feeling since he just turned 21 years old, he is depressed.)

All it took was a quick retouch, I am now applying the red. (Primed him black for shadows.)

Now as for Solar's GMS, it is annoying the hell out of me. I ended up having to hot glue him to his custom base, and I may have to pin his bolter. I'm thinking I may add a jump jet to my Dreadnought lol.

Thanks! I'm thinkin your stuff has me beat though... And especially your photography lol

Death Company arrived in the mail! Time to see if I can get a good looking black.

Progress is being made on the delegatus, got the basic colours down on the face and armour, got metallics, detailing, cape and banner to work on next!


EDIT:

More progress since when I get started I cant really stop, needs a few more touchups but definately looking the part:

Nice work!

Is it too late to enter?

Not too late at all! Throw up a Proof picture and I'll get you added to the OP!

Just had my confirmation email that my paints are arriving tomorrow! Time to start getting this model done.

WIP - I've based the flag in yellow and masked off for the red down the center.

It's an old model I've stripped as I'm in the process of repainting my entire army. He has his helmet in the left hand inspecting the bullet that has just caught him.

whats going on with that banner ^

I thought that summed it up? Yellow with a red streak down the middle, Sounds cool to me.



Badassius is progressing, still slowly working through the highlights though.

Ah fair one.. I though it mightve been a sculpt

HAHA Goodluck, I hate painting solid black, think its my least favourite....

@QAR I saw the picture first and had nearly started typing asking for a tutorial for making such a cool banner out of tape or tissue with pva glue or whatever that was.. until I read it myself

Managed to make a little progress tonight. I need to do some cleanup work on the edge highlighting, but overall I'm happy with the muted black look. Sorry about the bad photo quality, my real camera is dead

Hey Para, can you throw my Dreadnought into the proof? The GMS marine was savable without the strip... so I started on my dreadnought.

Spoiler:

This guy is currently primed black but, needs a banner pole repair as he decided to facesmash the concrete/asphalt. Then I will spray him red, and start on the white/gold tidbits. Hopefully do this before the month ends, heh.

Also, seeing that Imperial Fist diorama shows I am

Yep, thought I had added it but apparently not!

Wee WIPupdate - 3rd of the Deathwing squad nearing completion. Few bit n bobs still to be done - staining, weathering and what not still to be done. Basing next though

nice

Agreed! The Ravenwing pad works very nicely!

Cheers Happy how it turned out. I like trying to put a bit of the fluff into what I paint. That fool has waaaaaaay too many purity seals though. 'Holy-than-thou' goit! They were a slice of gak to paint! but came out pretty grand in the end
