ooohhhhhhh - looovely stuff!

I've been busy...


WIP pic #1

edited to 'spoiler' the pic

Buttery, could you rename my entry "Bravery of the Guard"? Just want a cooler name than 'Guards v Nids'...

Sure.

The notes are just there for if someone gave a title, and so I can match up the photos correctly.

I'll change it when I'm off my phone, and add the new entry.

So I'm in. Bizarrely Januine and I both thought of doing the same theme independently (Space Hulk), so for the cookiness of it, I'm going to do the opposite of him. Therefore I'm doing a Broodlord up against 5/6 terminators. Question is who's the money on????

Proof:

Im going to go for the absolutely unexpected and say that the Librarian gets possessed by a demon and sacrifices the other termies and the broodlord to Malal.

Did I win?

Man! That is unexpected, I like the way your mind works

Ooh, lots of Space Hulk goodness! I foresee great things this month!

I am thinking of reversing my decision to abstain this month, as I came up with something. No proof yet as I haven't decided to do it, but I was thinking of doing something like a single Stormcast Eternal vs. ten Bloodletters of Khorne. If the odds are still not long enough for the good guy, the rest of my idea is to make a small diorama of a Khorne altar of some sort (complete with blood everywhere), suggesting that the Daemons are empowered or that more will soon follow...
At the very least, it would give me something to do with that single Stormcast Eternal Liberator that I got in that issue of White Dwarf, and I would have some Bloodletters finished for my Khorne Daemonkin army.

Sounds awesome! Do it!

I agree! Crack on.

Sorry, due to time constrains I'm just copy pasting from my P&M blog

Okay so this months painting competition is started and the theme is "don't tell me the odds" so I figure what has worse odds than fighting in a zombie apocalypse? But all my survivors are painted and I only have a few zombies left to paint up....,good thing there's the option of overcompensating . So my plan is to have my new zombie killing faction going in and taking care of business.

Enter the Totenkopf.

Not saying all 20 will make it to the scene, but I need to come up with a good idea of colors as I want to stay away from the old German grey or WWII camp schemes.

In the ironcore universe the Germans escape earth which is racked by plague after excessive use of the gate technology. I'm taking liberties and making the plague a zombie apocalypse, and the Totenkopf are sent into a town to deal with an outbreak. Buttery commissar said I could use my zombies more as backdrop/terrain, so that just might be what occurs. If not, then we will have the closing of the apocalypse with all the troopers I make finishing off the last zombie.....for now

What I need are some ideas as to what colors the Totenkopf should be. I'm leaning more towards a bone white to the uniforms with the crosses being black. I see it as both a symbol of purity as these guys will be purifying an infected town, and also as a nod to the color of bone for the "Death's Head". I'm more than willing to listen to any other ideas thrown out there though.

Ok, I got this.

I dunno if this is overwhelming or not, but a guardsman against a bunch of pathfinder tau guys in close quarters? Like, Oldboy style, with the guardsman beating them all to death with a hammer? Thats overwhelming odds, right?

ahahahhaha...

WAR-hammer...

I'm leaning more and more towards the Mars Attacks dio...

I've got more figures that I can get cleaned quicker, just as much terrain (possibly more scatter even), a wider variety of both heroes and villains, and several dead figures from both sides to sprinkle around.

Plus, I'm pretty sure at some point during the invasion (talking about the cards here, not the movie) there were probably zombies. I know there were giant mutant bugs, hillbillyesque human mutants turned against their former friends/family, and all kinds of other experiments. May just be that Ghorl will whip up a small batch of zombies to throw at the humans too! I've even got a Martian zombie

I'd say so!

OP updated, if you guys have titles for your pieces, give me a bell, otherwise I guess.

One thing I've always wanted to do would to have a theme called "I'VE GOT THE POWER!" which would essentially be someone or something with immense power, either physical or psychic. Such as an Imperial Knight firing all of its guns, or maybe some doing a Kame-Hame-Ha on someone?

I'm going to join in on this

Edit: fixed it, thanks for all the help

Am at work with a raging hangover from too much makkoli last night so am just copying my proof pic across from one of my plogs. Will only be 1-2 termies and as many bugs as I can manage!! They're still not even primed - honest guv Oh Emperor, my head feels like there's a tantruming hormagaunt trapped inside

Edit: alright this is my first time posting here so I have no clue why these images aren't working

Generally you need the full URL address that links to the image directly. If you are pulling them from the Gallery here on Dakka, if you just copy and paste the link under "Forums", they will pop up like this

Oh Crap!!!!! Today is gonna be ........well......

Quick cures for hangovers;

100% Oxygen
Modafinil
Alcohol

I will see if I can demo paint my space hulk terrain, then maybe I will enter. It is pretty demoralising the continually enter and never finish :/

I'm in - my proof for entry "Brown Pants"



It's a cultist standing in front of a ruined wall, with bullet holes outlining his profile. A whole lot of to hit.

"Brown Pants" because that's the colour I'll paint his pants (and because if they weren't before, they definitely were after the round of shooting)

here is my proof pic... i only really have the legs picked out so far.. but im making gambit as a solitaire

Well done showing adversity with one model alone, the rest of us seem to be going with telling the story with more models, you deserve credit for this - less is more as they say

Cheers, but to be honest I just want to do something smaller than last month's T-rex

I'm in.
This seems to be a buggy month, a lot of nids here.

Mine is going to be some orky stuff and a few SM joining the party.

So many hordes of death and destruction, this month will be epic.
Me? I have some ideas but I need to obtain a few things, and if everything fails a guardsman holding the line is pretty much the definition of "against all odds", right?

@VorpalBunny: that's an awesome idea, and like TP said, kudos for doing it with just one mini! Sheer amount of painting aside, hue dios are the obvious/safe choice here (not to say they won't be epic!) so picking something more subtle is very cool!

@Kustomer D: wow, that's a lot! Can we expect terrain as well?
