Thanks Redflex, I appreciate that. I'm really pushing myself to make sure I hit as many details as I can as cleanly as I can. Hopefully I can do the Sons of Sanguinius justice properly That's my goal, anyway.

Your Bone Legion is shaping up to be awesome to behold. I can't wait to see these cultists finished up and see what your next addition will be.

Take it easy for now and good luck in the painting competition here also. Chat at ya later.

-Red__Thirst-

Hey guys, there are a lot of excelent minis you are working on.

Januine, I would give a lot to have a skill like yours. Every mini you paint is a masterpiece!!!
I really enjoy looking at them month after month.

Redflex, these cultists look really awesome. georgeous face ;-)

Cheers, K D

My orks are coming toghether nicely, pics will follow!

@Kustomer D - thanks so much for such a great compliement - really means a lot looking forward to seing these orks you're paintinfg. I need to have another bash at some orks some time. Lot of fun to paint those nutters!

Time for my proverbial hat to enter the figurative ring:
Crappy Proof:


And the first WIP:


This ought to be fun.

Hey dakka,

Thanks for your kind words kustomer D, Cant wait to see how your orks turn out. I Havnt painted a ork before but im waiting for one to be sent to me from "the real ork MOB' topic. that should be awesome once all the models come together!

crikey Para - that scythe look fantastic

Hey Para, nice work as allways

I´d like to add the following 3 guys to my entry.

They are Cut, Buhm and Rocket

K D

Your entry is expanding rapidly KD. All look in very good posses.

I'll echo the other comments that scythe looks beautiful Para, cant wait to see the rest of the model finished.

Great to see the other entries progressing nicely, good work all round

I'll be entering this month too!

Here's mine. Not quite a primarch but as close as you get in the infinity universe.

Tarik Mansuri, Amir of the Khawarijs!


Edit: So apparently Amir also means prince! which I didn't know but a very fitting coincidence for this month's theme.

Just to prove I’m alive and painting:

Hey, I'm alive too. I have not been on Dakka much for various reasons. I'll try to participate in next month's challenge.

@ Januine: I would love to see an Ork painted by you. That would be great. Otherwise, after I saw an Ork painted by you, I guess I couldn´t paint Orks anymore due to the quality of your work ...

@Midget: Yes, sir. I had a few Boyz ready for painting but I didn´t like their "usual" looks. So I took my bitzbox and cut them into pieces, added the one or the other bitz and that´s what turned out.
They might work as a Kommando-squad ...

@Redflex: Orks are fun! You can do a lot of stuff and be very creative. Orks are very forgiving ...

K D

@Nev: Coming along nicely!

@Kustomer D: Nice conversions as ever! Look forward to seeing paint hit plastic!

As for myself, I somehow managed to get Morty finished up today! Must have gain an extra hour or two this afternoon, or just completely lost track of time...



As these aren't final pics I'll just put the one here for now, you can see the rest in my blog or the Primarchs of the Universe thread. Any thoughts welcome.

Progress:

Holy crepes Paradigm...

Cracking stuff Para - ol'Morty looks great. See what you mean about the head though

OSL?

Quick WiP. Alpha is pretty much done the now. Back to the Kats next

Alpha looks badass, Jan. If the Kats end up looking this good, the rest of us might as well just play for 2nd. As for my entry, I still haven't really started other than hitting the armor with one coat of blue. It needs another coat of that, then some details. I have done some work on another battlesuit as a test of the color scheme; see my blog for a pic!

Update on my entry:









Left to do: Paint the jump pack (which I just spraypainted black while waiting on the pictures to upload/process) and then attach it. I'm in the home stretch now.

Look forward to final updates tomorrow evening once I get home. Thanks for looking, and take it easy.

-Red__Thirst-

Lovely work there Red - really nice bright clean wrk. Looking forward to seeing the final product

Para and Januine I'm amazed at how quickly you can get your models done and to that quality! Very jealous of your skills.

Its taken me 14 days to do a bit of GS work and the base coats on 1 model.

Progressing nicely there Red, you have put a lot of work into that model and it shows

Crikey - I'm slow as hell! Para now - that boy has got the speedy gonzalez touch!

The difference being that your WIPs usually look better than my finished minis!

One trick I have found to help speed things up is to use a hair dryer (on low heat/power) to speed up the drying of washes. You need to be careful there's no pooling, but being able to dry a wash in a few seconds rather than half an hour or so is handy.

Some WIP... found some mistakes (moldlines n stuff) while checking the pics...

K D

Niiiicceee!!! They're looking great. Your weathered painted plates ( the yellow and red) have come out brilliantly. Lovely touch having the guy reloading. Very nicely done indeed!

Proof Pic


going to be a ML 3 Librarian, Armed with combi-Flamer and Power/force lance/sword, with a suitable dead Space Wolf on the base


EDIT: whoops! Accidentally deleted my old proof pic from the gallery

Well, I couldn't resist painting up something from the Calth box right away -- my first model is going to be the Contemptor

Proof pic! Managed to get the base coat on today
