Thanks a lot explains why it fits so well with my Followers of Nurgle!

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Hey Paradigm, what do you think of something like earth, wind, fire and mud as a topic for next month
Something about elements or so...

Not a bad idea, there's plenty of scope and lots of applicable minis for something like that. I'll add it to the list!

Can I throw my hat in the ring here?

I'd like to submit my entry if it meets the criteria:



This guy is moderately terrifying to most things I can think of (He has the Fear rule, anyway)

Thanks and I look forward to participating in this challenge.

Take it easy.

I don't actually paint that quickly. When I paint something I lock myself in a room with no food until the model is finished. That Crisis Suit took about 3 hours of work.

And thanks! It's good to know you like it!

Here's a WIP of my Hive Tyrant. Haven't done much with the wings yet - they are magnetized, so they are off for painting. Almost done with the basecoats. Got some more black bits to detail on his chest and around his body in places. Then i'll move on to the highlighting or start on the wings.

Germany

I know it´s just the 9th of the month, but I had al lot of time to do this monster.
So, this one is in the books.

His name is Grimteef Morsnik, leader of a big bunch of Bad Moons.
He is never to busy to crush some skulls, no matter whose skull it is.
Orks, Marines, Chaos ... he doesn´t care as long as he can crush something.
He has been in a lot of battles against all kinds of enemies.
He lost his left arm while he fought some Nids but killed some more with his right.
His jaw was replaced after his got chopped off by another Warboss, who tried to take over Grimteefs place.

This has been one hell of a fun to build and to paint.

I´m looking forward to see a lot more super fantastic minies this month.

Thanks to Paradigm for the whole work you put into these projects.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Do the feathery bits come with the kit? They look like old school Ravenwing bits...

My hat is now officially in the ring:


Broodlord vs Blood Angel. The question is, which is the bigger monster?

And here's where we're up to last night:







Going for a cleaner/neater job on these than my usual 40k fare, we'll see how that goes! There will also be a diorama base for the two, probably a starship interior.

I believe my old clunker is a Mist or Ghost dragon, one of the old box sets, so I'm researching how to do an ethereal effect this afternoon.
Got my new airbrush compressor rigged up for the base coats, but I'm not skilled enough to do much beyond that without brushes.
Fun afternoon!
