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 )


Damn right I would! You've got a reputation to uphold now... So next month we're expecting Boss Krissmass with a Santa Klaw!

Highlander is just so very 80s in all the wrong ways and all the right ones! Acting's wooden as a plank for the most part but the soundtrack is great, the plot is decent and there's some epic (if completely over the top and unrealistic) sword fights! Just don't watch the sequels...

I... actually don't know. Help?

Right now, my plan is to have an Ork playing Queen with a crowd of Gretchin. Yes... The guitar will be plasticard with greenstuff, I guess I'll use the wired my brothers use for soldering ss guitar strings. The base model is a Burna. Mad max? Yep I can upload a proof pic of the Ork tomorrow and the Gretchin in maybe a week. Looking forward to this!

I like that one too LordRahl. It just wasn't out yet when I started my Cygnar army. After I finish what I have I will probably pick her up, then I will have all the Haleys.

I've dug out this Robot Griddlepan model, it has made it onto the train this morning for some serious cleanup - he has unfortunately suffered some damage due to the previous owner not really understanding that all of the epoxy adhesive in the world isn't necessary.

I got him all apart, but some detail has been wrecked, smoothing it out and will try to freehand on it or something.

Base is not in terrible condition, but also needs some greenstuffing.

I will take some pictures tonight

Ok, out of the hospital and back into the paint! This here will be the head honcho of my army, so will be awesome. If the model is too far along, I suppose I can think of something else.(please let me do it!)

Love the tire tracks.

No envy on your workload KB, lot of the detail on Primarchs is fingerprint depth.

Hmm forget the barbarians. Now I'm torn between trying to do khanjira though that's a bit daunting, or maybe having dino king Blaine squaring off with my converted foot-archaeon skull lord dude.

Not sure the kids will let me get anything done though.

Correction- Christopher Lambert's acting is wooden lol. Terrible, terrible decision to cast a Frenchman as a Scot lol.

Winter months. Go simple, get it done.
Trust me. You don't wanna rush big projects, and you will likely end up having to, or dropping it, which would be a shame.

I'm doing one figure with another maaaaybe appearing alongside.

Sup Dakka,

Thought Id finally get involved, I follow month after month and I just gotta man up and submit. Last months challenge had some very impressive stuff good job to everyone who was involved. couple names I want to mention for last weeks challenge.

Red thirst, your blood angels are really coming along keep up the good work, inch by inch its a sinch.

Inspector, love the diorama and your creativity.

Albnioork, Amazing nurgle daemon prince conversion not to mention the paint job, loved the vibrant colours together.

Januine, You just blow my mind month after month with your witty dioramas and stunning paint jobs, your work is just incredible and inspirational good job.

Paradigm, first off thanks for making all this happen. Joker is by far my most favourite bad guy and the paint job was spot on.

Midget Gems, Trick or treak? you fuckin nailed it my friend Love the ork2-d2 and Yodork.

October month was a tough vote for me there were many other impressive entries, big ups to everyone who submitted and I cant wait to see what you guys come up with this month.
