So I was hesitant about whether to enter this month, having bought something new at the GW birthday party in Nottingham.

Proof:


Ironically the bit I was most worried about was painting the base, but as you can see, that's gone rather well:


So time to break out the ambition and enter the competition!

Ooh, Primarch fight! It's on.

I'm not doing my scenic base though as I need to think what dead marines I want.

Iron hands, only way to go

Looking forward to seeing Rowboat Girlyman done up properly. I've seen some that others have painted; he is probably the best looking one of the currently-released Primarchs. As I've said before, I'm waiting for them to do the Lion. If they do, I'll probably get one.

Even though my corax isn't here yet, the model begs to differ

Just one question guys, does the bid gun have a barrel? In other words do you drill the front or not?

Haha I mean nid

I'm going to loot through this box, and my other one, and put together the last 2 members of my 30k Command squad, and 2 Chaplains, also 30k.

Looking good so far guys.

You do realise I'm painting this one, so you may still be left waiting for one done properly!

Thats the Scyllax mostly done paintwise now - just need a few final highlights and some grime and the assembly; pin them to the nearly painted bases ad then attach their mechandrites. Should hopefully have them done by the end of the weeknd. And here's the mandatory pissawful wip shot!

I'm a bit late to the party, but I am determined to paint this deff dread!

The lighting setup change has worked wonders. Like the way the models are looking.

Looking great so far

Got my first bit of work done and a few other parts picked out.



PS Does this display ok? Or do I need to do something different?

And for my own curiosity.

Alot of orkyness this month! I like it!

I'm very behind schedule, but here is the first sternguard:

Nothing will stand in our way. I will finish what you started senpai xoxo <3

Here is my finished entry.

It´s called: In Ya Face!

What is more Up Close and / or personal, than beeing shot in the face by a Nob while he´s running up to the frontline?!

I tried some new painting techniques and colours plus a new setup for the pics I took. It´s getting better every month, I think. In about 250 years I might get to the level Januine and Co. are working at!

Good luck to all participants and again thanks to the great Paradigm for his monthly effort to let us take part in these competitions!

Cheers, K D

Dang, that's a good one.

THX man, like your Kylo-sword, too.

Kustomer D that's brilliant. Your painting style and standard is great, don't do yourself an injustice

So I said I would put something down for this. I'm also using them as an entry for Azazelx's A tale of umpteen gamers monthly challenge.


Proof

Mantic Orcs. Morax to be specific. We can either call the entire multibase a single model, or I can pick the five best removable ones to be the entry when the time comes.



This is the test model, the rest should look very similar once I get through them all.

Kustomer D, that dio is awesome! As for my entry, I've slowed way down lately, hoping to pick up the pace some soon. Maybe I can celebrate my birthday today with a little painting magic!

Cracking wee dio there kustomer. lovely job

Alright I finished up my VGV , not 100% happy with these guys (but its nothing I can change easily so I will just deal with it).

They look all right to me, Ustrello. I'd be happy with those.

Awesome entries so far, love them. I really like the ork/marine diaorama!

Here is my entry. Sorry for the photos, its the best I can do at the moment given the space I have. I'll work on a better way for the next challenge.

photos look grand! really nice job on the greenskins - look just the part

Yeah for non photo boxed shots, your bathroom floor worked a treat

They look great too, love the weathering and wear on the armour

Haha, I didn't realise it was that obvious it was my bathroom! =D My wife came in whilst I was lying on the floor with the camera, looked confused for a second then left without a word.


thanks for the comments, any pointers to improve them would be great

They look great, proper grimy and mean-looking guys but still with plenty of detail and great use of colour! Keep up the good work!

hahahaa - gotta love the spousal confusion - mine came home to find me scrubbing away at some FW models with a toothbrush - ' wish you were that gentle with the dishes' was the only comment I got!!

you used agrellan earth on the bases? Give 'em a light coat of watered down PVA - seals it and makes sure the cracked earth flakes dont chip off

Here's my proof. Getting back into the saddle with painting with a SBH warband. If the rest of the warband arrives in the mail in time I might add them as well.
