Winter is slacking hard. I should have shoved a foot or so of snow at this point, and it’s raining and in the high 40s now. I primed stuff outside with a rattle can last week. Madness

I’m good with that as a theme though. I snow base my Ultras anyway.

Spring has sprung?

Ooh err, madam.

I sincerely hope that isn't a theme suggestion!

spring is attacking winter?

My proposition, and I think this is fair and open ended enough to satisfy everybody - Ultramarine Captain and Command squad.

Also - my entry is complete and 2 days ahead of schedule! Here is the Command squad in its finished glory - (also threw in a pic with the captain and some solo pics of the apothecary as he's the last finished model)

All the best to those finishing up

Seconded. I’m in! I think I’m down to (up to?) 4 captains waiting for paint. Should have parts for an apothecary somewhere.

I sincerely hope it is!

How about 'presents' you know we'll all get something nice for crimbo, and whoever gave it will want to see it built and painted. So the proof pic must be wrapped, might not even know what your do until you've opened it!

You know it'd get voted in.

just picture it....
cross dressing orks

Barbra Windsor as a deamonette.....

Sorry to drag the conversation away from crude innuendos...but I've finished my entry:






Of course, now looks a bit meagre in comparison to Lipsdapips efforts, but still I'm pretty pleased with him.

I think he looks great! True to the spirit of regal, Romanesque Ultramarines Good stuff Jadenim!

While working on one of my models I accidentally gutted my thumb to the bone with my hobby knife. I should be able to finish my models this month regardless of the week delay I had. Work will resume Friday.

Ouch. I'll echo Januine and say I hope you are okay. Was it a dull blade that suddenly slipped?

Thanks for the concern ZergSmasher and Januine, it tis just a flesh wound. It was a fresh blade that cut through the metal faster than I had expected it too. My effort this month has not been totally fruitless though. I got the Emperor finished a couple days ago

This is the original proof pic of it I posted earlier...


and now...


If I am unable to get anything else done this month because of the wound and the holidays coming up, at least I am happy with the completion of this model.

Great seeing everybody's progress. Here's some WIP shots for my Firestorm battleships.

Spoiler:

Tyrant coat 3: SW Heavy Body Black wash


Coat 1: Reaper Ultramarine Highlight + Ultramarine Blue in 2:1


Coat 2: Reaper Ultramarine Blue + Ultramarine Shadow in 1:1


Coat 3: SW Blue Black wash


Coat 4: SW Blue Black wash again


Both ships, ready for detailing. I haven't quite settled on everything yet so I'll try out some stuff on the smaller ships in the force before getting to the big guys.

So far I'm quite happy with them. I'm really glad I entered the challenge, it's a great way to stay motivated. I think I'll probably try and stick with these competitions as a way of getting stuff done!

Is that Battlefleet Gothic?

Thanks LDP

Glad I took the plunge with this, the quality of the people and encouragement in this thread is as good as the quality of painting!

Firestorm Armada. Specifically the two battleships from their previous starter set, Storm Zone: Battle for Valhalla.

Thanks! Looks good!

Well here is my finished entry (Sorry it's just one but don't think I will have enough time to finish the other ones without rushing it).

But without further ado I present;
Terminator Sergeant Qaspian of the Blackened Angels

Just got some things primed! Yay! Proof pics coming soon

Here we go


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I'll paint something from that pile, probably some Thunderwolf.

Plugging away here. Should be done with the blues, need to wash the golds, do the robes, and about a zillion other details. I need to be done by Tuesday if I want to make it, so need to get cracking.

Hi Guys

1st time entering I thought i posted my proof last week but i couldn't find it on the thread so ill post him.

Ill also post some of the completed pics of Be'lakor he's been sitting waiting for me to get time to paint him up for ages haha.

Do you want those pics as your final entry, or are you planning to post some rotated ones?

Final pics, Tots MaGrots!

Presenting Itchy and ShotCalla. Itchy is replacing a Grot from an assault squad who got promoted (demoted?) to artillery duty, and ShotCalla is now the fourth grot in the same artillery unit.

Happy Holidays All!

Could be a new model, or a new army or even a new system...

I'm on board with this mainly because I know I have something new coming through the post soon

Id like to post rotated ones but how do i do that? Sorry never posted pics before

Here's my proof pic, she's going to be a 40k Inquisitor.
