Neat stuff going on as usual guys.

That poster board is cool, I think I have that same set of posters in my print-resources folder

WIP pics! The weapons do not have the final coat on yet.

Some WIP...

Grots VS Spess Mahreens? Guess who wins...

I spy a beakie!
Looking very promising. And I'm impressed by the speed!

I've just found my plasticard flooring, and a commissar torso, so I'll hopefully get the diorama building mostly done tonight.
I'm still debating whether to use the provided table or not.

Like that poster board

WIP for my entry:


Added some rubble paste made from PVA, random plastic bits, acrylic sand and flat foam cut into bricks.

I need to work on making the bullet holes stand out.

Maybe it is still early, but I am going to withdraw from the competition. I just have too much else to paint to get onto a relatively large side project like this. I will still follow the thread and enjoy the awesome stuff everyone else is doing, and I do hope to get back in next month.

Would dwarves firing all barrels of an organ gun, hoping for it not to explode work?

Bunny, this looks cool.

After rethinking my idea, I decided to reduce my entry to a minimum. I will finish the whole dio, but I will only enter a little piece of it as my final entry. Otherwise it would be way to hard to focus on anything special in this project.

Good luck to everyone,

K D

Sorry dude. Hope to see you next month!

I am still trying to decide if I am going to enter this month. I gotta finish my armies on parade board, plus the army itself , and if at my glacial pace I am worried if this will take away from the board + army.

Yeah if anything I am thinking a two model entry, a plague marine vs a lone krieg guardsman. Kind of a futile situation if I have ever seen one, plus krieg are the kings of don't tell me the odds.

OP Updated. Sorry to lose you, ZergSmasher, good luck with your work!

Currently headless before painting as the rather flashy collar for this guy prevents access to painting his face.
I managed to find a bunch of Epic commissars, hopefully those will turn up this week.

The front floor section will have a little something in the gap, I'm just looking for it at the moment.
Apologies for 2 posts, if I attach 2 pics using my iPhone, the forum just dupes the 1st.

Tip: If you're taking photos on your phone, do it in landscape (with the home button end on the right hand side). That way when you upload it from your phone, the pic won't appear sideways. I frequently battled with this issue until I figured it out.

I did. Dakka only shows pics the right way up if I take them through an app, weirdly.

More WIP pics from me...

WIP #4.1

WIP #4.2


I decided to do some more weathering to represent the 'peen polishing' that would come from having 30 tons of grit and gravel on them.

I love 'mithril silver'!


edited to spoiler the pics

So, here is my finished entry for this month.

It shows an Ork Boy who´s running out of ammo and his supporting buddies try to tell him that some ugly spess mahreens are coming at them.

Enjoy

Good luck to everyone.

I've got the models washed for my entry. Need to build their diorama base/terrain. And paint them all. 20something days left though and wrapping up my other contest entry for the LoER so should be good to finish.

Nice - I like that he only looks slightly concerned.

"eh, I'll come back anyway"

Crikey Kustomer - finished already?!?!!! I've just managed to get mine primed!!! Cracking wee dio though - loving it

Great stuff KD! Can't unsee the smiley face on the plinth now though!

Looks cool but there is some perspective trick in the penultimate picture I can't unsee now, for some reason the grot's red cap under the three mushrooms makes it look like the tree has three eyes and is smiling. Funny.

But he still has ammo, Grots make wonderful throwing weapons, even when they are not crazed by warp-madness and teletransported inside the enemy's armour.

Love it, KD! Can just imagine the arguments.

I've not have much time today, but managed to give mini-me arms, a paintbrush-stick and distracting feline.



"Sigh."


I'm oddly proud of how dainty this hand ended up looking.

Muahaha that's pretty awesome

Alas poor Yarrick, I knew him well?

I love how he appears to be rolling his eyes so damn hard in that photo.
No idea what the thing in his ear is for. Storing bees, I guess.

It looks a bit like a revolver
