Another option would be to use the article section to make a home page for the contest, and just link back to that each month.

I'll second that, I did suggest that before but it must have gotten overlooked.

Hey guys.
Just a quick update on my Warboss, I´m entering this month.
I would love to get some feedback from you to see if I´m going to the right direction with it.
The Warboss of Kanvuss has inspired me to do that.

So, what do you think?

I´m still not sure which head I´ll put on him, but I´m playing with the idea to magnetize the heads, so I could switch them untill I made another 4 bosses.

Coming along nicely!

@Nev and OMN: an article is a good idea. I've never tried to do Dakka articles before, but it shouldn't be too hard.

Kustomer, using a Daemon Prince torso I see! Nice. I personally like the head to the far right, the one that's screaming.

Holy hell Kustomer that's going to be sweet! That yelling head on th far right is absolutely sick and gets my vote for sure. That said get the pose down and choose the right one that fits in context.

....which will be rage face boss.

Yes, that is indeed an old zooan.

I plan on either painting my sporocyst or (if I can break out the magnets out and think I'll get it done in time) a harpy/hive crone.

I"ll get some proof pictures up later.

Well... I called on some debt, as my parents owe me almost half a grand.

Someone got their worm today! Too bad it takes a month for FW to arrive, plus I still have to pay for the Knight Titan. I definitely won't make this contest but, I will give it my best shot depending on how things go.

Here is my entry for this month. My Skytyrant. He will be joined on the battlefield by a mass of Gargoyles who will ferry him into combat. If I finish him up early, I might add some Gargoyles to my challenge. He's currently primed white with a quick and sloppy base coat underway. I'll be painting him in my Hive Fleet Gigas colors.

Seems like good momentum to commit to painting this guy.

Go on then, I'll throw my hat into the ring with a Daemonhost whose malefic influence is contorting even the terrain around it.

Here is my Entry!!!

Been working on the 'Stormfiends', I've managed to get most of the structural work down - I just need a dollop of green stuff and should be good to paint.

I'll hopefully get some WIP pictures on my Blog tomorrow.

Just a little update today...

Hey guys,
thank you for your feedback.
I´m calling this "monster" done.
I chose the screaming head - and magnetized it.
Now all I need is to watch tons of Youtube vids how to paint a warboss and don´t try to ruin this dude.
Pics will follow.

Thx again for the feedback.

:-D

Progress Update! My Helbrute has been sprayed with Army Painter Pure Red and has had the fleshy parts painted with Bugman's Glow. I'm worried that due to the fact the model was primed black, the red spray has hurt some of the detail, particularly on the left-front side of the armor. Hopefully I can still work with it. Going to do the metal trim next (ugh...so tedious-but so cool looking at the end!). That Pure Red spray sure is brighter than I anticipated (closer to Evil Sunz Scarlet than Mephiston Red). Rather than be unhappy with that, I'm gonna roll with it and ultimately do all my mortal Khorne-worshippers in the brighter color, they will certainly be eye-catching on the TT! After I do a bit more work on the 'brute I'll post some WIP shots!

cantone the red down nicely with good ol'nuln oil and then a coat of carroburg crimson. gives anice depth to the reds

Paradigm, is the Grand High of the Dark Angels (Asmodai) monstrous enough? Given the fluff, he's one short step from a raving psychopathic Fallen, who has the Dark Angels quaking in their power armoured slippers and renders mortals catatonic

Or am I going to have to look further afield?

After all day yesterday mucking about with and getting the knight primed, finally got some work done on The Chosen today. Basecoat layers all done and hit with a double null wash. Progress!!

Let's see... An 8-foot tall slab of muscle and bionics, hundreds of years old, who wears a skull mask All The Time and has a reputation for torture that makes Chaos Space Marines weep?

Yeah, he'll do nicely!

Para, I have an idea for a theme which you NEED to do: What a lovely day! Make something Mad Max themed!

Hah, everyone seems to have gone Mad Max crazy recently! Oddly, I actually have no interest in the film myself, but I'd definitely consider it for a theme. Maybe throw it a bit wider like 'post-apocalyptic' or 'ramshackle' for the wierdos like me that haven't seen it.

TBH, I haven't seen it! I just need an excuse to make something insanely huge.

Quick little progress report:


I havn’t used washes with such a heavy hand in years. Painting Nurgle is so relaxing and fun.

Hey folks,
I nearly finished my warboss.
He´s one huge son of the Waaagh!!!

Check it out...

KD

Going to put this critter into the ring

Not quite sure what it is. Zombie Troll?

First wip shots, got the horses done and tested out the scheme for the hussar wings.
