Not very Orky! If you were an ork, just hit him on the head until he agrees!

What a lot of awesome stuff!

Thought I'd post some more WIP's. First one is the basecoat done, and the second with some washes down. Now I have to layer, blend and highlight!

Heres my pre-paint entry, I think I might have hit on design suitable for My Guard anyhow, here it is.






And then I had a little cram painting session and got to this stage.






And then last night I got weathering while watching Fury and will have completed pictures up as soon as I have a bit of sun...

Very nice!

WIP shot, still lots of work to do and the base is going to be an experiment with that crackle paint stuff.

Something like this?

Only the main body of the Helbrute to do... And the base... Soon it will be done!

Well, here are the WIPs that I did. Mind you that these are quick shots, so when you zoom in the gallery they are somewhat blurry. I just need to do the "speedy" model that will perish in the Helbrutes claws (power fist), the back, and the base, and I'll be done!

Not exactly, but it's very nice! Might try something like that on another army. I'm hoping to make a blue cracked earth kinda larva effect with one of the GW technical paints.

Well, I've finally finished making the Cyboar mob, in the end I made the full 5. Hopefully I'll get some pictures on my blog tomorrow, realistically I will just get the 1 painted for the competition.

Wow, again, there's some great work here!

Here is my brother's finished entry:

Also, if anyone is interested, we have posted a tutorial for this build on my blog:

Thanks,

40k Pirate

That's very unique! Wow!

Some really inspiring stuff here, it's a real pleasure to look through!

Just finished the base off on my entry, now it just needs a little touch up here and there, some final assembly and then some decent photos and it is done. Almost there!

Finished.

Very nice, love the blue effects on the sword.

I dunno, love the sword but that face to me is the real winner. Super smooth and oozing character. Nice job, i'm going to have to pull out all the stops!

thanks guys. i think painting faces is my favourite part of the painting process. i rarely do helmeted models any more purely for that reason. and the sword was my first time using that layering effect to get the glow, using glazes also.

WIP on my converted Morkanaut.

All basecoat done, all shading done, most highlight done.
Details/weathering partly done.

Here are a couple of pictures of the head first:




Then a couple of views of the mega-blasta:




One of the claw to finish:



And a picture of the kustom field, last thing I did tonight:



C&C please?

Looks good to me! Do you plan to add some weathering? It would really work on the larger surfaces!

On another note, I'll be putting up the next subject poll soon, and so far we have Monster and 3 Colour Maximum as options. To add to those I need one 'theme' and one 'wild card' subject, any ideas?

Maybe Empire (any empire) and No Shading (washes)?

non-human?

Sneaky.

It might be my contrary nature, but I think it’s fun to offer the opposite of the current theme for the next one.

Slow and Purposeful.

Not had a chance to keep up with every bodies work, briefly scrolling down there are some very nice models already!

Puppy has reduced paint time to maybe an hour a day at most. Now that I'm getting him ready for when I go to work next week I get a few hours in the afternoon where I can get things done, today that has been catching up on my WS!

Dragon has got some flames and I have added in a background glyph/rune to help draw the viewers eye from the dragon over to the other side where it will have some more traditional Eldar zigzaggy things (no idea what they are actually called!)

Amazing work on your entries, everyone. The top spot is going to be highly contested I am sure.

Finished assembly today, so I thought I would post this rough picture taken with my phone. It is too dark here to get a good set of pictures with the camera, so once the light improves I will get my final entry shots.



Always open to comments.

Hmm, that like!

@Januine: non-humanoids would basically be covered by monsters.

I also came up with the idea of something 'iconic'; you must basically try and sum up the faction/army in the composition of that mini. It could be as simple as choosing the mini that got you in to an army, or as detailed as building a full diorama base and special effects galore.

So we have

Monster
Slow and Purposeful
Icon
Three Colour Maximum

Sound good?

I have something for all of those, so I’m good!

Good enough.

Looks good
