Looks like I need to post up a wip now. Or you know, get a move on and paint.

Some progress at last on my entry, I'm going to have to repaint some of it, but a rough idea of what I'm going for.

They look like real cool guys!
Oooh, just got the idea of having a IG regiment, with a VIKING THEME

Holy moly! Everyone has upped their game from last month ten fold. Some really great work going on.

I'm still plugging away at my ork nob on biker, will try and get a wip once at least 1 part of it is finished. I got carried away highlighting the skin to look old and weathered and turned it into a bone colour with dark recesses so will need to fix that. Weathering has just begun as I got my hands on some new washes and bits to try out this month.

Sadly this is likely to be my last month of painting as my time will be massively reduced over the next couple of months. I may look at entering just conversions and have them ready to paint once my free time ups again but we'll see - maybe it wont be as bad as I think.

Taking my judge home with me this week, and hoping a few days of nothing else to do will allow for some relaxed painting time.

Did I do something wrong, that I'm not listed? I came back and submitted Minty last week, admittedly not much has changed since, bar assembly and filling.

Nah, the mistake was on my end, your name/pic ended up inside someone else's Spoiler tags. Fixed now!

About time I posted a wip shot or two I suppose

Love those claws! How’d you do them?

Para: Can you delete my current finished pic and pop this one in there instead please? Looks a bit silly having to look sideways on...

Nevelon, its blue and purple glazes over a silver basecoat, then highlight the edges and glaze again

Some cool wips and finished minis so far, I like one man noodles guys, is the torso armour Elysian torso armour?

Not sure I'll post any wip pics, I think I'm nearly finished.

Haha, I spend so much time in the Plog section, I didn't even know this was here!

I'm in. Here are three of my "tall ratlings" squad for my Vostroyan IG army. No wetnoses in the sniper squad, veterans all!

Finally managed to find time to splosh some paint on Raven!
Lovely miniature, absolute pita to put together. I must have stuck her arms on a dozen times!


Everyone's entries are looking superb so far, gonna be another tough decision at the end of the month

@ Matthew: Thanks

@Calibanite Lion: The torsos and heads are resin copies of ones that I have sculpted.

Your bounty hunters look awesome, really nicely done

Paradigm: Cheers when can we see more of your word bearers ???

NidLifeCrisis: That ork boss looks great, I'm really looking forward to seeing him painted up!

Soon(TM)

Various TV and books have drained my free time over the last few days, but the 3rd guy is nearly done.

Some really nice work showing up here. I need to do some work on Fistgar, I've kind of lost interest (don't really like space marines like I may have once done...) but it shouldn't take that much work to match the dread's scheme. May break down and switch subjects if I can't find motivation, time is rapidly slipping on this one.

For my first month doing this I have to say i'm loving it! This community is great and I will most definitely be participating every month from now on.

My Entry and Proof. This guy has been sitting unpainted for to long might as well paint him up and enter in my first contest.

It's nearly 2am, I've finished my entry... At least I hope I have, who knows what it will look like in the morning . Pics later on.

oooh - he's looking good. got lucky with the ol' failcast eh; doesnt seem to be any nasty bubbles or what not. Aye - drill out those barrels. I got the GW pinvice and it's def worth the spend. I use it constantly - not just for drilling out barrels. Looking forwrd to seeing that fella painted up. lovely fig

Thanks. I actually mentioned just above the pictures that I needed to drill the barrels. I was aware of them.

As it turns out I found a pin vise in my tin of tools this evening when looking for something else. Here is the Chaplain now with drilled barrels.

sweet. He's gonna look well tidy all painted up.

Wow! Im seeing some of you guy's work and I gotta say, Im VERY intimidated by what Im up against seeing as how Ive never even finished painting a single model and have more time watching youtube "how to paint" tutorials than I have painting... Man this will be a very tough bit to accomplish on my part as I doubt even getting a single vote on my sloppy work! LOL. Im trying to post an update on what Ive got done so far (Not much. Magnatized the arms and primed then base coated) Ya'll are gonna kick my little arse in this one. Maybe one day I can get a fraction as good as you guys!

Don't worry I feel the same way painting isn't even the part of the hobby I enjoy but I'm trying my hand anyways. Never know you might just get the vote, all you can do is try your best and don't worry about the votes when the time comes.

I still feel that way sometimes, just all about being confident in your own work but realize that you always have room to improve.

Don't worry about getting votes and what others are posting up. Have fun painting your mini's, do the best you can and learn from what you did. Apply that to the next model and then the next and you will be well on your way to being a fantastic painter in what feels like no time.

Thanks for the inspiring words guys! I was about to turn in for the night and not do anything else with the little guys but now ya'll have me wanting to put at least a good hard hour into it. THanks guys!

Finished, done, time to move on!

For your Consideration, Gorkamorka Boss with Trophy Rank.










Cheers, good luck to everyone else entered, I hope you get finished!!

Fantastic work on a very neat model!

@SJM

Dude...... that's just fantastic work.

Well, guess this is going to be another competition I won't win

Although it's always good to see such good work on display

I finally started on my entry, it's coming along nicely (well, according to my standards anyway), here's a few WiP pics:







(pics are a bit crappy as I don't have my regular camera at the moment)

Hi all,

I was hoping it wouldn't be too late to enter? If it isn't, here is my entry if permitted
