I am going to be doing something that I have not done in a long time. With the recent news that GW might be bringing back Battlefleet Gothic and the new video game that I have been following, I want to start working on my fleet again. The Gothic is painted in my old colors and will be getting repainted. If you would please accept this as a proof pic, otherwise I can post another picture after it has been stripped. The other ships are a Emperor class Battleship, x2 Lunar Cruisers and if I can find another cannon bay the last one will be a Tyrant class Cruiser. I am super excited to paint BFG again

Rules wise, how is armada?

**Buttery Commissar**

Whoops! Tested out the magnets and I've accidentally made a rocket car. Going to adjust that angle overnight.

Out of curiosity, I noticed that I am not listed as an entrant to this contest... did my proof violate one of the rules or something Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing here, I posted a proof and I'm not in the list of entrants. I'm sure Paradigm just missed us, right?

**Gulgog TufToof**

I'm in! For me, this month's theme is "Grotz why nots?" The reasons (excuses) for keeping it simple:
1. These are the last two minis I need for a fully painted 1000 pt ork army without having to proxy anything.
2. I read somewhere in the previous competition threads that you don't want to undertake anything too ambitious during the holidays; sounds like good advice to me.
3. Maybe by setting the bar extremely low, anyone who might be on the fence about joining the competition will jump in because, surely you can paint something more exciting than a couple of lowly Grotz, right?

Proof:

**KINGPIN54**

Well if I succeed in getting the BaC box set, would like to start on them, and my som warptalons are still crying for paint.

**Januine**

Ooohhhh - loadsa progress today......nah, not really :(
Managed to get Kranon and whathisname base-sprayed and that's about it - lol

**IXLoiero95XI**

Got a question...
Can I enter a model that I painted two weeks ago

and if so, can I enter a model that I re-painted? It was red, now its brown.

**SickSix**

Oh I want in on this. I will take a proof picture tonight if I remember.

**Inflatable love badger**

Lots of nice Christmas themed entries! Afraid I'll be dull and enter something I need to get done by the end of the year, was determined to get a whole army painted by the end of 2015 as I've never actually fielded an entirely painted force! So it's gonna be more Deathguard. Need to paint 5 more cataphracti, a landraider, 3 contempters, another preator and 5 grave wardens this month! So will enter the grave wardens and hope for the best, might be doomed to fail tho.
Will add a proof to this post once I get my phone working

**SickSix**

Okay this may be ambitious for me but I am entering with 3 Grey Knights that will be used as a Librarius Conclave for my Silver Skulls.

Proof Pic as they sit now.

**nullBolt**

nullBolt's first painted miniature in a long time is being submitted.

**djphranq**

Posting my proof again... didn't see it up with the other entries.

**Paradigm**

Apologies to those who weren't in the OP, must have just missed you guys somewhere along the line! Fixing it now!

**djphranq**

Thanks Para! I thought maybe I might have been late or something. Really love these challenges... very motivating!

**Paradigm**

Nah, there's no such thing as late in these challenges so long as you're in before the end of the month. There is, however, such thing as me being a total, scatterbrained, easily distracted idiot at certain times!

That's me excuse and I'm sticking to it!

**OneManNoodles**

Undercoat slapped on:

good variety of entries now and I thought the last round was a tough one!!

**Matthew**

Naw, I thought it was going to be a toaster...

**OneManNoodles**

Well I could have entered a toaster, maybe even 2 toasters, but I'm sure some people might get a little steamy under the collar if I did, so I'm playing it safe and going for some thing a bit more subdued.

**darefsky (Flight Medic Paints)**

Darn it. I started my latest project on 11/29!

**El-Torrminator**

Minor progress. Starting with the head and chest and going from there:

Added some detailing:

**Buttery Commissar**

I got it 90% done.

**Januine**

Wow - fantastic progress there BC. That's looking awesome!

**Buttery Commissar**

That pic isn't very kind to it, it is actually shaded, pigment weathered, and mid tabletop standard.

But I think it shows the fun.

**brushcommando**

@Buttery Commissar.
I love the movement you've put into that diorama. Very dynamic.

**Matthew**

Guys, help. What should I paint?
