thanks to a somewhat lengthy hospital stay, and some terrible news, I am unable to complete this months challenge. I gotta bow out.
And before you think sad thoughts, the terrible news is I was convinced to start my own army. You can actually hear my wallet screaming in anguish.

Unashamed at copying my post from my Deathwatch blog :
Spoiler:

So I've made a little progress (microscopic more like). I've pinned all the components which is the first time I've ever done it. Wanted to have better detail on the torsos beneath arms etc:

Blocks are home-made from left-over wood
I've also decided that the Deathwatch are in a derelict building/spaceship so have made these bases:


They are all primed now, will start painting tonight.

GW - 670 pts || - 354 pts || - 46 pts || - 106 pts || LoTR - 400 pts (Evil) vs 0 pts (Good) || Space Hulk - 1/35 || Deathwatch Overkill - 0/50
Other MEdge: Karists - 23 points || Epirians - 0 points Shattered Earth: Awaiting delivery "Awakening" Terrain: Awaiting delivery DWMG2: 4/54
My Miniatures blog || My Terrain blog || My MEdge blog || Paradigm's Painting Challenge League Tables: 2015/16, 2016/17

The Hobby Mission: 25/713 minis complete, 98/406 terrain complete. 46 more minis in 2016 to complete my goal for this year

Haha, good one and nice paintwork!

Question is, is that a skeleton regiment with scenic Skink or a Skink regiment with scenic skeletons?

Put the four folk who marked their pics are finished into the OP with the requisite fluff.

Suppose I should really get on doing some painting.

Not got the enthusiasm at all for it. :( Want to do horses.

I haven't really seen that many people finished - are everyone doing what I'm doing, saving the worst for last?

I just haven't found the motivation to do mine. I've stared at the models too much to be entirely happy with them (I was fine when they were done, but the more I look the more problems I see. Never keep minis you're proud of at the time in direct view of your main workspace over several days, it's depressing) and thanks to being several hours drive from most of my supplies, my 'diorama' will consist of a CD covered in sand painted grey.

I was really hoping to come back fighting this month after my shoehorned entry last time, but the busy week in the middle has just been a kick in the teeth to any kind of coherent productivity (I've done minis I'm happy with before and after the break, but the project that spanned the two just slid to a halt). Still, I've definitely got something, or several something lined up for October, so I guess I'm just going for completion points this month.

(sorry for the rant, it's just been bugging me a fair bit!)

The painting is pretty much finished here, just begun to glue the Carnifex together, and of course I have made an error. The cannon arms are pointing slightly too low, meaning that they now foul the legs. That is going to be fun to fix without mucking up the paint job. Also I still have the base to do as well, but I am not being too adventurous with that so it should be rather straightforward.

Four people plus LordRahl.
I reckon we'll get 10-15 finished. Dunno how that stacks up to normal.

Paradigm wrote:I just haven't found the motivation to do mine.
Ditto.
I don't dislike what I've done, but the idea of painting the rest of it makes me yawn. Expecially the cat. Doesn't help that the evenings are getting darker, and all I want to do is nap.

I’m not sure if I’ll get the demon finished to have a duel with my captain. If I can’t, the odds the good captain is facing will remain off-screen.
