I think I broke Warhammer.

That looks like....well it also looks like a gee tar too.

The head needs work, but it's a good start. I like the strap.

It's funny because dicks. I'm mature. Shut up.

Good work BC!

Is that a guitar, or is he happy to see me? Sorry I couldn't resist. You might want to paint that soon so it doesn't look so much like what it looks like now...

On a serious note, he'll be pretty cool when he's done, and you should go with some grots to be the crowd or something.

Assembled one pretty prince.
Base needs sanding again.

Another wee WiP - First Kat's primary paintjob is done. Lenses, weathering et al will all get done at the end when the other two Kats are up to the same stage.

Had a box of half assembled Thunderwolves so I will enter a "Khorne lord on a juggernaught" or Traitor Wolf on a Wolf

Forward Progress on the Blood Angels Librarian.







I should have the entry finished by the end of the coming week in theory.

Thanks for looking, & take it easy for now.

-Red__Thirst-

You know what? I'll give it a go after all.

My entry will be a Chaos Lord in Terminator armor.

Looks like we've got ourselves some pretty cool leaders to paint! I really need to start on my Tau Shas'O-I've started on a different battlesuit to test out my color scheme-no pics yet as I'm barely started, but I hope to at least get some pics up in my blog soon.

That is a very interesting shape for your ork Matt, glad hes got that strap to support it.

Update from me, I've managed to get pretty much all the GS work done.

I'm trying to recreate this pose but with the Highlander trenchcoat.

Highlander Ork, Connor MacLeod (ConnOrk Macleod?)

Ha! Love it.
Need a group shot of all your creations at the end of the year, MG.

Yeah, that's looking great!

Speaking of the end of the year, I think I've mentioned this once or twice elsewhere, but for next month's round, my plan was to have an Open Challenge. Normal rules on Proofs and model limits and such would still apply, but there would be no 'theme' as such. Thought that might a) allow people to be very creative and not feel like they're 'pushing' the limits of a theme, b) give people a chance to really show off what they can do on whatever mini or minis they choose.

If no one has any massive objections, that's where I think we ought to go next month. Normal, theme-led challenges would resume in the new year.

Thanks BC and Para, yeah I was hoping to get a photo like that done for the final month or if there is an end of year thread.

No objections from me Para I was hoping for either an Xmas theme or anything goes, either way I know what I want to do

Rather then a fully open theme, maybe let people pick one of the non-winning topics from the past year and work with that. Given the number, we all should be able to find something in there that works.

But how well an entry sticks to the theme is a major part of my voting process. If we remove that, I’d want some of the painters here to paint left handed. Just to keep things fair. Or right handed, if they are a fellow southpaw. And Januine should only have 24 hours to work, and should either be intoxicated the whole time, or paint with his teeth.

The problem with that is that it would then become a complete admin headache, trying to keep track of which entry is based on which theme and at that point it's basically an open contest anyway, as each person is working towards their own 'theme' anyway. If you like, the 'theme' of an open challenge is the mini itself, and 'sticking' to that theme comes in choosing the right tone/palette/techniques for the model in question.

I won't call it either way yet until I've got a better sample of who likes/doesn't like the idea. Totally in favour of insisting that Januine has to paint with one hand behind his back, while hanging upside down over a pit of snakes and blindfolded for good measure,,, and he'd still put us to shame more than likely!

Oi!!!! What's this??? Paint with my teeth?? I end up with paint in my mouth enough as it is (really need to stop licking the brushes - bloody Ben Komets >< !!!!! Snakes??!!!! Yuuummmuy

Also, clearly Nevelon didn't realise you're Irish Jan, and are therefore drunk already

Cheeky!

I'm half Irish half German, living in a convict colony - I can make fun of everyone for alcoholism

Back on topic, I haven't been able to do anything on this over the weekend like I had planned, but AS JANUINE AS MY WITNESS I will do something tonight on it (hopefully)

I'm not a memeber of the Adepta Sororitas! I tried out but they redused my app. Didnt have the right ......equipment with me

You're actually drunk right now, aren't you?

It's 7:30am on a Monday morning, I'm proud of you

Not drunk - half awake!!!! 7:30am and about to head to work.......euggghhhh - monday classes...... ><

Dammit Jan.

its 7:30 pm here and im drunk ready for bed. Its amazing how this forum has brought so many peoeple together from all over the world.

yup - gotta agree with you there

How about for every month won, a painter has to drink a beer before starting painting?
I'd be screwed as I'm teetotal, but it's give everyone else a flying chance against Jan.

I'm really not feeling it with Fullers. His detail is hella shallow. I'll try, but I'm not thrilled.

I'm in; Freeboota Kaptin, da' real Princes of da 40K 'ooniverse. (I just hope I can finish on time; I haven't even taken off the mold lines and we're hosting Thanksgiving dinner!)

Proof:
