For my proof pic, may I present Raven.
She will be an officer of some description for my shiny new imperial guard army.

That is really cool (and I don't say that just because my entry is an almost-true scale Chaos Lord as well! ). Any ideas on colour scheme yet?

chaos lord off im thinking a sort of homage to pre-heresy death guard with an off white or bone armor and a rusty trim im not to sure on the cloak yet though either dark green or a skin tone i am gonna use that new martian ironearth for the base

Are you familiar with The Cleaved?


Nurgley Death Guard offshoot (I think), they'd fit that look you want for sure!

I'll join in! I found this WarWalker and a twin pretty cheap on Bartertown, in bad shape, and I'm re-working them as part of a tutorial on turning cheap junk models into something you'd be proud to show off. I figure veteran models have plenty of dings and wounds to help hide the issues the model has.

This is after stripping the caked-on red paint and cleaning all the mold lines the original owner ignored. Here's some shots in pieces and whet I think the final pose will look like.

More details on how I've modified the model can be found on today's blog post: http://plarzoid.com/2015/04/resurrection-eldar-war-walker/

yeah something similar definitely

Special forces alpha legion. I like the idea that these guys have been operating undercover since the heresy and the splintering of the alpha legion

There will be 3 or 4 of them

Very cool!

so this is my proof,



idk been feeling a bit unmotivated this month,
anyway is a crossover between a warrior and a flayed one a bad idea? maybe as a crypnotech experiment? this is one of the ideas im playing around with...

Didn't have a whole lot of time to paint between school and the gym but I got the final layer down on the Hengist's terminator armor for the storm grey look

Mine is almost finished! Pics incoming in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.5... 1.4... 1.2... 1...

Oh... Well, coming in 10 minutes!

Finally got my chappy in the mail. Proof below!

My Final Entry Into This Contest!

Dammit, it's going to be tight if my studies continue to demand so much time and attention.

I dearly hope I will have time to finish it for the contest, but at this point I honestly can't say.

I'm finally getting my starting pic up...

Not promising both of these guys. I paint super slow!

oohhh - just thought of a possible theme for the vote for next month's comp. Too early? nah!! Gonna pop it here while I remember. 'Faster, faster....GO FASTER!!!' Speed theme - anything that shows speed and the wish to go faster!!! Could be bikes, ork on a rocket, grot being chased by a giant squig etc etc. Anyways there m'suggestion. Back to the Solitaire

Awesome idea. I second the motion for GO FASTER! I've got some Ravenwing bikes and a Nephilim fighter to paint.

I could go with this idea. I, too, have some Ravenwing that need some paint (I'm super slow at painting bikes, but maybe I could do my 3 black knights. Already partly painted my nephy, though.

That is a fun model to paint. I did one for my Dark Angels, and I'm thinking about going back and touching him up a bit! I'd love to see how yours turns out!

Been a crazy month so far, so I have not made as much progress as I want.

Quick WIP update.

I was able to finish the silver and golds (there are about 5 of each so far on the model)

Now to let him dry a bit, Then to rust to all feth and back...... Nothing like taking a shiny new model and getting it all grizzled up.

Oh and I should probably start working on the base for this guy. Should be finished and ready for photographing this weekend.

Nice stuff there folks
My solitaire is neeeaarly finished. Just a few finaly touches, some blood and a bit of basing and all done

Update on my entry. So far all I have gotten done is having the models assembled and the arms magnatized. Im hoping to feel better tomorrow so I can prime them and at least base coat them. Also I cant find any Mephiston Red anywhere as its on backorder. Im hoping like crazy the local Comics shop has some. Ive got two models coming in this week and I really need two pots.

P3 Skorne Red is a really good substitute if its available to you.

Well so far this month......

I have been in work a lot.

I have tired a colour scheme for my veteran out.

I have tried using a wet palette (Love it, just cant wait for my new brushes and soap to get here).

And bought a WW for my DA army. I have invented new swear words after putting my tracks on a piece the wrong way around.... *sigh*.

Quick pic of my colour scheme for you (sort of).



Just for the background, I was thinking about the challenge of painting a "Veteran" while I was browsing through my DA Codex and was struck by a little inspiration. The original DA armour was black, so I thought about keeping a set of black armour, and painting a nice lava scheme on there to intimate one of the fallen who has quite literally been to hell and back. Don't read too much into the quality of the lava, as it is only a test and I still have a few hurdles to overcome yet (such as actually sticking my model together and undercoating!). However my newfound love of the wet palette will make life a lot easier for painting a more blended lava scheme.

*Edit* Oh, and I think that when I finish up my Dark Vengance CSM's, I think that it will look pretty awesome on a Hellbrute!

I suck at painting and im going to join this challenge in 2 days... the possessed just have to come

Could we say that you are.... possessed by the urge to paint?

(I'm sorry, lame joke, please don't turn me into a Chaos Spaw- *sound of gruesome transformation*)

*Clap Clap Clap* 'Tis so beautiful!

Looking better already!

Nice tentacl..... whatever that is where your.... thingy..... erm....

Ill just call pest control.

*garbling sounds vaguely reminiscent of approval*

See kids, this is why you don't go around talking about Heresy everywhere. Now who wants some more tentacles?

<Vaporizes Ezra Tyrius with incandescent plasma>

Chaos is bad, M’kay?

A little progress:


Finished the plasma cannon arm. Right now another one of my dreadnoughts is borrowing it for the photo. The heat-stress doesn’t show up that well in this pic, hopefully I can get better results in the final shots.

If you're going to murder me with a Dreadnought, at least give me a Dreadnought quote as a parting gift

Something like LET THE PROMETHIUM BURN!

Plasma cannon's looking pretty cool by the way, is it a kitbash? I can't for the life of me remember plasma cannons for Dreadnoughts being available in the regular kit
