UK midnight tonight, although as usual I'll count anything submitted before I get the voting thread together as in, so you've still got about 24 hours.

Gamma-Hydra-Seven to Lambda-Kappa-Twelve, we have successfully infiltrated the thread. Subject "Talys" has drawn the attention of the Inquisition as foreseen by our handlers. Subject "Nevelon" has called upon his ally in the ranks of the Ordo Hereticus, who is already on-route towards the thread. The Inquisitor will not escape us this time.
Gamma-Hydra-Seven out.

Someone at the Adeptus Mechanicus must have thought, "gee, how can we make the least aerodynamic vehicle possible?"

And......we're done!!!! Photos were a bit rushed but busy busy. The full sized images look pretty rad but a little tooooo large to pop on here lol Anyways, Here we go folks - Harliequins of the Masque Of The Shattered Mirage. Hope y'like them Off to pack and get read to leave for the honeymoon. Good luck everyone
@Talys: I used to think that the Darkshroud was one of the silliest contraptions in the game...then I saw the rules in the new codex and my jaw dropped. I just had to get one. It was a good thing, too, as that thing helped me do better at a tournament. I'm not sure it "flies" exactly, more like it hovers ominously (at least that is what I imagine).
@Januine: Once again, you've created some masterpiece models. You should seriously think about Golden Demon competitions. If I could freehand paint half as good as you, I'd be a very happy man.
My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
Grotsnik Corp. Sorry, No Refunds.

It was hard to take the photos to show the transition between camouflage and not, the light gauge on the camera was going mental. Hope you get the idea though.

Here's my entry this month. This is all I could get done - the deadline crept up on me. They are actually not completely finished, but oh well, they are complete enough to judge I think. I posed my Genestealers amid a new terrain piece I finished to distract from my shameful unfinished bases (don't judge me too harshly. I am clearly a commitaphobe - I haven't commited to a basing scheme for my Tyranid army yet).

I don't doubt it. The Genestealers kit is really abysmal compared to the modern GW kits when it comes to production quality and mold lines. Although the sculpt still fits the modern Tyranid aesthetic.
