Well, there are a lot of near misses on the wall

Late start, but 30k Dark Angels Praetor.

Looking awesome everyone.

EDIT. And he'll be going up against some elder wraiths, will post them tomorrow.

Ok, here's my entry. The 'Never tell me the odds' part is...the odds of my finishing this before the end of the month!

-14 scatbikes (paint)
-1 jetseer (paint)
-1 swooptarch (paint & base)
-1 crimson hunter (paint & base)
-3 warp spiders (paint & base)
-15 warp spiders (touch up & finish basing)
-3 distortion cannons (paint & base)
-Void Shield Generator (paint & 'base' = add vines, weeds, etc. to make it look like a ye olde VSG)

Okay, I'm sorry for being slow, but I'm afraid you're gonna have to take out the painted minis (or those that were painted at the time of your post). I checked with paradigm because of the quanitiy you're trying to do here.
The submission guidelines for the contest are flexible, but they're not mostly-completed-miniature flexible. Base coated or primed, 10-20% done is as far as has been accepted in the past.
If you want to use those models in the final display pics, to show scale of the army, then like the user who has some read-done zombies, you can include them but they must be out of focus and used as set-dressing.

a wip shot from me, things are progressing slowly....

No worries. When I post the pic of my results, I will only include those models that were unpainted to begin with. Not particularly likely to 'win' in any case, but posting here adds another layer of motivation.

Absolutely! I entered something I needed to get done for a tournament, last month.

Work in progress shot, have added graffiti:



I've noticed the wall works for other minis too

Lol VorpalBunny, I like the way your mind works! That is a cool piece already, so I'm sure it will be even better finished!

hahahahaha - loving it with that greenhaired Elvis looking fella!!

hey just thought id post an update..
still a bit messy still needs touch ups
how do you think my green stuffing skills are coming along?
other than over sanding his pecks i think it turned out well
excuse the flash but i missed the morning sun for the photo

Looking very good! Is he going to be slinging cards?
Easily my favourite X-men character, it's good to see some love for him.

buttery!!! were did the cat come from???
i want one!

yes i got some hero clicks blue energy thing
that i will somehow turn purple and attach it to him
do you think the unhelmeted eldar head with the head gear works for him?

Well I had some primer issue with the models I was going to do. No way to get them all stripped and ready to paint in the time coming for the competition. However I would like to redo a previously unfinished project along the same lines. He WILL be overcompensating . It started as a iron warrior pre-Hersey knight model, now it will just be.....something else.

I hope this is alright to switch. The troopers I was doing just got an overcoating of primer and all the fine details we lost.

Oh crap, I just yesterday threw out the backing card for it. It's a Reaper "bit" aka when they sell you parts of a kit separately. You can find it in their online store. Also you can buy the cat lady figure for lots of kitties.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Eldar pieces at all.

That looks like a cool model Theophony and I like how your Missed me wall can be used for other models VorpalBunny74

An update and some explanation on my entry. (Hint can't see myself on the list of entries yet)

Here's what I used as inspiration.



I wanted to use this challenge to try making a few things with greenstuff rather than just filling gaps in. Here is how I'm getting on.



In all my searches I couldn't find hairy/fury orks so could be a first? I did contemplate using brown static grass to make the fur but that would probably have only been hilarious for so long.... maybe

I love the furry ork!

ChewbORKa rules! This is one cool mini.

The proof is a bit late but here it is


A small diorama called betrayal.

Midget Gems - incredible work. Superb. Love it!

You've got some time, why don't you make a grot2-D2 and a C3-POrk?

Ha, a grot hiding in a little painted trash bin?

You sir, just gave me the perfect Kommando idea.

wow thanks for the nice comments

Kustomer D I think I'm going to steal that for its name.. "ChewbORKa"

I'd love to and was seriously considering it, If I get time I will but still got to finish these and get some Orks to BC for the Dakka Clan

 Buttery Commissar wrote:

Very much along those lines, something like these but in R2D2 colors with legs, lenses etc. Golden meganob for C3-POrk?



Anyone think up a good name combination for the Han Solo Ork? I can only do Han Orklo and I'm not sure that quite works.

Han Solork, I think.

Then Luke Skyorker, Princess Leork, Landork Calrisian, Grand Moff Torkin, Darth Vadork, Emperor Sidiork, some Stormtrooporks, Eworks, Yodork, Ben Kenobork....

I could do this all day!

Get back to painting awesome BMG figures.

Can't, I've run out until the next supply drop comes in (hopefully tomorrow, my addiction must be fed! ). So in the mean time, how about...

Orkbi-wan Kenobi, Qui-Gork Jinn, Padmork Amidalork, Chancellork Palpatine, Mace Windork, Darth Mork, Orknakin Skywalker, Jar-Jar Borks, Bail Orkgana, Borkba Fett, Count Dorku, General Greivorks...

Hmm, I see to have run out of ideas... For now!


Really need to the back to my entry tomorrow, the minis are all painted but the dio needs doing.

Orkanorkin Skyorker

Are you even trying?

I think he fits better with the wall than Mr Brown pants - if only I hadn't painted Green Elvis a while ago. Eh

lol ok Paradigm I think i'll have to take those names away for another time and another project, but well done on getting so many.

Hope the Uni move goes/is going well.

Hey Midget, I would borough you this one, it could count as C3 POrk from I think Episode 1-3, before he was given his shiny golden colour...



K D

You know what? I'd love a theme like 'unexpected allies' or 'You're not my friend!'. I... really want to make a Yarrick leading some Okrs against some Chaos Marines...
