Does this contest have to stay safe for work?

I ask because my take on a Soul Grinder of Slaanesh may be the most wrong thing I ever do.

It's really not a bad idea to post "NSFW". It's just a courtesy call for people who visit any site fro work.

I meant for the final entry, it'll also be a public topic.
I suppose in which case, Para can tag the spoiler as well.

If I get the parts, it's going to be interesting. You know how a Doomwheel is powered by rats? I'm changing the power source. Either to the old Diaz Daemonettes running along, or to them having a "good" time with some captured guardsmen.

Before shot. These will be Blood Raven Sternguard veterans wearing Betrayal at Calth MK IV armour. They include a combi flamer, combi plasma, a Sergeant with Power sword and bolter, a combi-melta and combi-grav from a Tactical Squad. Hopefully, they qualify as short enough ranged weapons to be up close and personal.

I'll bow out this month I think, lots of other rubbish non-hobby related stuff to do. Good luck everyone, look forward to seeing how the entries submitted so far end up.

Well, I say "good", I don't think the guardsmen will be writing home after. It just comes down to how much I can fit.
Was gonna have one being flattened into the earth underneath.

Lol - I suppose it depends on how you model the main cannon on it and its position on the front of the model

Nah, orgy power doom wheels, none of your groin-cannons. Just relies on me getting two DW this month and some IG casualties. May be pushing it.

For this one I will do Kasym Beg. Mounted if I have time but on foot definitely. I figure a crazy biker leader with an explosive close combat weapon on a big chopper is up to the theme this month!



Going for a SENMM chrome on the bike and a real Nathan Explosion look to Kasym.

@Ustrello - Vanguard Vets are awsesome!!! I was thinking of doing a kitbashed Gabriel Seth, but another time.

Not sure if I'm doing one or all 3, but it will be Forge World Outriders this month for me

Mate, I'm doing 2 basic assault marines, at least yours are vets and there's more of them. Alas, sometimes cool and interesting has to be sacrificed to bigger goals. I'm 10 short of a complete 2nd Company at the moment, 5 assault marines and 5 devastators. This year they will be done, this will help.

Hey, my entry thus far is a man with his hands on his hips.
I have to concede to time, that it may be the better option.

Followed by man with right hand scratching head!

That's what happened to me all December, practically, for modelling. Was such a busy real-life month... no time for nerd adventures. I think it's the first Christmas break in a long time that I didn't crack open a computer game either.
