Hi All

(@para think I have been missed on the list of entrants)

Glad to see we are still getting entries in, looks like it will be a packed month

lipsdapips really like the look of your squad, the power weapons are great.

Its been a pretty hectic week so haven't been able to undercoat the models yet, hopefully will this evening. I'm getting nervous that I won't finish in time but I'm off work now till the new year so hopefully will get some painting time now

A quick set of WIP pics, its taken ages to get the metal rods in and supporting the wolves weight and then wraping them in GS to try and make them look like reins (it could have gone better but can't change it now)

I'm not sure I'm going to get anything done this month. I have barely started on my Assassins, and I'm not feeling the inspiration I need. Plus real life has been making me tired, what with the holidays and all. And I have that Tau Stormsurge that has been occupying what hobby time I have had. At the very least I am probably going to change my entry. We'll see.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

I'm a bit behind now, painting the tracks is taking ages and really sucking up my black paint like a sponge.



@Midget Gems: That looks insane, in the most awesome way possible. Great plasticard work

Cheers,
OMN.

Stirland mud is really nice for tracks and weathering on tanks. You may want try some out for that (because who doesnt have 10 pots of stirland!?)

Me, I don't have a single pot of the stuff ... I'd have to look it up to find out what it is.

I'd planned on airbrushing them and then using MIG powders.

I'm sure they'd enjoy splatter style art designs on their clothes, so it's all win-win.

I hand prime things mostly like a newb D:

OK, calling it done: Final Pics:





Of course now that I have snapped the pics, I see a few more things that need to be cleaned up. Zoom, you are a cruel mistress. Don’t think I have time to do the touch ups, and frankly it looks fine from a tabletop POV. Thanks for another month of competitions everyone, it’s been a good time as always!

Finished base coating and started some detail work. Hope to get that out of the way over the next few days and then I can get to the time consuming bit, the robes.

Thanks Noodles, I had to bend the plasticard into shape with a lighter to get the curves on the front and back (I don't recommend doing this in any way). Your tank is looking very good, I like the turret, gives it a good sense of chunkiness.

I really like the stubble you have done on that min Nevelon, really adds to the character of his face

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

I painted a guy! Almost, at least. I guess he's almost done, I just need to finish the details. I'm planning to finish a Thunderwolf, then I'll call it for this month.



Is the weathering too much? Too little?



I just saw that mould line... cringe

Thanks Jadenim, it took some time to manage to think something up.

It is the old Witch Hunter Inquisitor that has been converted a bit (new head and replaced the sword arm).

Got some more work done, I think i'll call him finished soon, but i'll get some better pics.
