Managed to get some pics up of the finished Mega Nobs on my blog, just need painting now!

Nice Midget Gems, looking forward to your warboss!

Cheers for the photo help fella's i'll keep that in mind next time i do a photo shoot.

iPhone pictures and phone pictures turn sideways, even when taken portrait, it's a peculiarity of the boards. I upload them to Dropbox, download them on the PC and use them, and it fixes it.

That said, have a sideways kelpie WIP.

Looking great Buttery

And the right way up! How ironic! Nice blends there.

Thanks guys, I'm hoping to get it finished apart from the Vallejo water gel tomorrow. I screwed up the.. upper side of the ankle-knees on the back legs (see my dazzling horse knowledge, sorry bronies), but otherwise quite happy.

I haven't got an eye colour planned. Lime green? There's some green in it now... Gold?

Looking awesome there Buttery

Para - does a corpse count towards the maximum figure count?

Pretty much got the basecoat done. A little more work left on the wings... On to highlights and details!

Looking great, really love the colours you've gone with, especially the wings.

Nice looking mini here matey- looks cool!

For the eyes- Ulthuan Grey with a glaze of Waywatcher Green on top should make it really pop!

Nah, pile the dead as high as you like!

My entry for theJune competition. I thought it was some form of Undead Troll but it turns out it's a Plague Elemental. Excellent classic model which belongs here and a paint job I'm actually really happy with. Enjoyed this one nice and simple with a good flow to the painting. Hope you enjoy it and thanks SJM for telling me what it is!

Gribbly! I like it!

Really nice use of Colour Llamahead, looks very plague/sickly like.

Ok, I'm officially in it this month!

Going to paint this beast.



he's only been sitting on a shelf above my paint station for about 13 years so I figured he's due a coat of paint!

Paradigm, I want to change my entry, I'm going with this Battle for the Skull Pass Troll instead.

Lots of trolling this month, it would seem!

Sorry, I'll shut up now!

Alrighty.

Made some solid progress tonight. Very pleased with the result. The body is now attached to the base and is, for all intents and purposes, finished. May spot a small touchup here or there after I put the mini down for the night and pick it back up tomorrow, but overall I'm very pleased. Next up I'll be painting the head and then attaching it to the body to complete the mini, hopefully tomorrow.

Here's the updated WIP shots.







(Before anyone mentions it, I see the faint mold line on the back-pack protrusion, but I honestly didn't know it was even there until I uploaded these pictures, so when I say it is barely noticeable IRL, please know it truly is, as I didn't even see it during painting. I'm normally very fastidious about mold line cleanup.)



Thanks for looking. Quite pleased with the progress so far. Hope to have the head finished in short order!

Take it easy for now everyone.

I'm liking what you've done with the suit there Red, very nice!

Thank you kindly for that. It's a lot of subtle drybrush and then layering with blacks and greys. Started with the old Shadow Grey color, then went over that with a light drybrush of codex grey, and finished it off with a good heavy coat of Asurmen Blue. I went back in after that and did some 'clean up' work with more black, filling in and touching up areas where I'd gotten a little messy/heavy handed with the drybrushing. Once that was done, I did one more coat of Asurmen Blue to kind of help blend everything together, and once that was done I did the metalics and belts, inking & detailing them as I went.

I've gone ahead and started on the head. Just finished laying down the bone white color and painting the green gem/lens of the right eye. Next will be the metallic work, and then I'll finish up by painting the animus speculum. Not sure what colors to go with for it. Blue is the current front runner, but I'm also considering a nice purple color. Haven't made up my mind as yet. Will play around with colors and see what jumps out at me.

Take it easy for now and thanks for the kudos there Angel.

Oh wow, he's lovely!


My Vallejo water effects gel arrived today, so I'm going to hopefully finish up the Kelpie and then slap that on. It'll probably take until the end of the month to cure, I'm a bit nervous.

I think I’m calling him done. I didn’t go as overboard as I was planning on the weathering, but I like the way he turned out.

hey guys looking good!
im currently working on my brothers scourges

Some lovely looking stuff! Love that stone troll sculpt.

I've made significant progress on my Helbrute this week. I have finished all the basecoating (other than a few minor touchups where I got paint where it didn't belong ). Here is a (poor) pic:

Now I've gotta shade, highlight, and base this beast. Should be able to make it happen before the deadline though. I like what I've seen from everyone else so far, should be a good monstrous month!

Oops! I forgot to post mine here... whelp, my entry for the month is done!

T'was done on a bet, to try to make the Kastelan Robot look "fierce" rather than "dweeb". There are so many things that I don't like about the original model that it's not funny -- like the idiocy of splitting twinlink heavy phosphor to one on either hand (and making them dinky compared to the carapace gun), the strange wiry connector on the backpack, the goofy face, and of course, the total lack of shoulder pads (what a departure from 40k aesthetic ).

Awesome! The only part I'm not sure about is the thin joint to the massive Dread shoulder on the CC arm, but even that is better than the original!

Yikes, that's damn impressive, and imposing.

Sweet sweet work Talys and what an improvement on the standard kit. Not sure about the dainty ballerina feet though.....ahh, even a robot has the right to dance
