I'm sure there would still be plenty posted here, I simply suggested it as a) there will hopefully be many, many WIPs between the three given the amount of work this kind of model needs, and b) where else can you see 3 Primarchs being worked on in one place?

Guess BC has the casting vote, fill this thread with Primarchy progress or' take it outside' to a Primarch-duelling thread?

I can vote for BC, I have Trevor held hostage so can pretty much do whatever I want.

I will start a new thread now

Are you sure Trevor is the hostage there, after the trouble he's given you?

(I feel Trevor has featured in so many threads in this forum that's he's basically become the unofficial mascot for Dakka's painters... A symbol that we shall never give up, never give in, no matter how much superglue, putty, tape and probably even welding at some point are required to keep a model intact! )

I did actually consider soldering him at one point. We are bound to each other now, I am actually going to buy my own Trevor model after this one is done as a constant reminder of how much I hate myself.

New thread is up here ->

Anymore Fulgrimers out there?

Alright here is my proof, I am excited to do something not human for once.

Sorry for the slight OT, but I have to ask having seen the comments in the 'Borrow your model' thread, what exactly is Trevor? (Aside from an abyss of hate and dispair).

This was the post;

This is Trevor;

This is how Trevor "should" look;

Aha, found his name too - Malryte, but BC and I both agreed that name was stupid, so went for Trevor.

You can purchase one here (alas, in resin) -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/32mm-Fantasy-Kit-VEL4009B-Malryte-Half-Dragon-Dire-Wolf-/251914193431

Trevor weighs roughly the same as a lead tennis ball, and the reaction I got upon unearthing him for that thread was "Jests Christ, that thing again."
I got him (painted) second hand from a teenager, who judging from the sale price wasn't the first owner (roughly £5), so the extend of his misery is both international, and impossible to track.
His original base was a solid metal square slotta bevel led thing that weighed as much as his unattached wing.

How's "Second Chancers" as a theme?

And honestly I'll either go all out and freehand Fullers, or not do anything, so it's good that KB threw his hat in.

Hahahaha, if December is Second Chancers, hopefully the modelling part is completed by then (need to get his tail on, and the wings pinned (but not joined) - I will totally have him done over that stretch, but I was hoping to have it done by Xmas (not likely, sorry BC). This is doubly disappointing as looking at the old thread I can see you raised the point of "what happens if the new recipient meets the same fate and it becomes a forever project" - TREVOR WILL BE FINISHED.

I will clean my desk and take some photos this weekend, Trev's base is mostly done, and once I get his bum back together he can get his first coat of paint.

Dual option proof.
I hope that as the tape on Phoenix Knight is intact you'll trust me without opening it. I don't really want to until I have a tray to do that.

Like some of the others have done on this thread, I will ask you guys: which of the following models would you like to see me put some paint on:
Option 1: Finecast Tau Commander
Option 2: Old metal Chaos Lord on Juggernaut
Option 3: Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage
I feel like the Chaos Lord would be the easiest, and the Bloodthirster would definitely be the hardest (that is a lot of detail on that model ), but the Tau would be challenging as well, as I have never painted a Tau battlesuit of any kind. I already have a basic paint scheme in mind for all three, I just can't decide which one I should do.

Need to see how this month goes with RL. Hopefully will be able to enter otherwise it will be three months in a row I haven't completed an entry

If a higher rank counts I would have more options and would probably go with Anrakyr the Traveller to lead the slowly growing Necron force I seem to be accumulating. Or expand my Tau to include a Finecast Commander to represent one of Farsight's Eight (ninja' by Zerg ). I'll wait to post a proof when I know how likely I am to complete.

I vote for the Tau. I like Tau and they just got their new codex. The old Commander is a good looking model and will be a good challenge.


As for me, this month my Princess of the Universe is going to be EHaley. Proof pic will be added when I get home from work in the morning.

What material are the Kabuki Primarch's (or as they are so cheap maybe Primark's ?) made from? Some look like metal and others resin.

Older ones used to be cast in White metal, whilst the newer ones, and some newer runs are being done in resin.

Help me decide @.@

Would it be okay to try and do a Librarian, I'm assuming so but just making sure.

Sounds like it meets requirements to me

Consider me entered, here's the proof picture:



A Blood Angels Librarian with a Jump Pack (Jump Pack not pictured, as I'm not sure which jump pack I'll be using yet).

Painting will begin this week.

Take it easy for now. Good luck to everyone!

Well, I'm painting Epic Haley so it could be interesting to see Epic Haley vs Prime Haley from two different painters.

Going to really challenge myself this month and paint up this chap who ove had sitting on my shelf for a year now. Really hope I can do him justice!

Fulgrim is metal with a resin base.
The picture on the packet is of his green sculpt.

@Spuj: Another Primarch joins the fold! Be sure to head over to the kb-lock's Primarch painting thread and show off loads of WIPs!

Lord Arcanist Ossyan, Retribution Warcaster.
Given he can bend time and gravity to his will, I think he qualifies for Prince of the Universe.

I'm going to get him done over the next couple of days, need him for a game early next week.

Other entries are looking great!

Don't have a Primarch, but will throw my hat into the Heracy ring with 1st Captain Typhon.
(3rd edit, oh for crying out loud, even when I flip the image it comes out upside down!)

Okay, thanks to a suggestion by Ruberu I will indeed be doing my Tau Shas'O. I think he fits the bill quite nicely as a leader-type person. Here is the proof pic:

As the proof shows, there will be some Space Marine debris on his base. It will look better once I add some texture paint to it (the marine stuff will look half-buried then). I will probably make it look like the unfortunate marine was one of the Raven Guard chapter (because of Kau'yon), although I will not be doing Vior'la sept for the Commander himself (he's getting my own special color scheme). The reason the missile pods at the bottom of the pic are already primed is because I took those off of a couple of other Crisis suits and did not want to prime them again when I do the Commander (that might mess up the little details). They will ultimately go on the arms.

I'm not sure what to do this month, I cant think of anything to fit the theme.

Thanks for the link Para, I will post some stuff in that thread as well

Looking forward to seeing the battle of the Primarchs and other FW models, I think we should get some sort of sponsorship deal out of this.

Because of this challenge I actually sat down and watched the highlander movie, terrible acting but great storyline so quite enjoyed it and I'm using that as my inspiration (also Para said he'd dock me points if I didn't do it )

So as a small update, the base of a Plasticard Katana, need to do the detail on the grip. Sadly I'm not a ancient Japanese master sword smith so it hasn't been folded 200 times, only carved with a Stanley knife.
