Don't let friends who are getting married talk you into running interference with their soon to be in-laws for a couple of hours, very soon you've lost most of a Saturday!

We can hang out in the back and clap together.

I look at it like, I could rush for the sake of the contest, but if it would compromise a model I will be enjoying and using in future? I stop and just hold my hands up.

Probably for the best. Why rush something and do a poor job on it when you can take your time later and make it good? Especially something like Fulgrim; a Primarch deserves much more care than a rush paint job.

Gotta say so far these are all amazing!

Especially wanna say

Kb - That saliva effect is just devine. Looks disguting, but devine

GiraffeX - the effect youve done on his underbelly armor/scales is brilliant!

I managed to finish at the last minute.







Last ones a bit blurry.

First time I've done eyes as well, seems to have worked fine.

Wow, lot of last minute goodies there, nice work everybody!

@Gulgog Tuftoof, I love the face paint markings on that Warboss

@Zergsmasher, I think I've said it before, but I really like the colour combination your using on your Tau

That model is Baldur the Stonesoul from Privateer Press.

He has a really cool theme in his fluff, and go with some nice models from the Circle Range for the Hordes game.

Thanks for everyone's patience. Here are my proper final photos of the first half of Dark Angels Squad Dom (10th Company, 1st Squad):




Led by Veteran Sergeant Dom, a Scout born to lead. He fights in the name of the Emperor and for the glory of his beloved Chapter. His squad lead him knowing that through him victory will be born. They are renowned for their successful skirmishes that have paved the way for the battle companies to swoop in and deliver the Emperor's message. They have a life bond with their scout brothers so need not wear squad markings for they will always know their kin and that they will soon take their places with their Tactical Marine brothers at which time they will adorn themselves with the honoured mark of their assigned Battle Company Squad.

Or something like that...

Hope you like them. C&C Welcome.

"Appropriated"?! You cheeky ! I bought that gauze!

Thanks for the compliment though Jan, means a lot

Right, entries in, submissions closed, hope I left it long enough for anyone who was on the edge of finished to get pics in! Great work from everyone who finished.

Vote will go up later tonight if I'm feeling well in time, tomorrow if not. In the mean time, the new thread is up, see the link in my sig.

Some great entries there over the last few days. Good work guys, nice to see so many finish.

I have to agree, cloaks look awesome, haven't seen many like that before

Sorry, no vote until tomorrow, I'm really not feeling well enough to sort through it all this evening. Apologies. I'll make it a priority tomorrow, I promise!

Seem to have gotten my dates mixed up, I know I'm late, but will post my pic tonight just so I can say I did finish a model. O well, still got me to paint for a change. Well done to all that finished.

Paradigm hasn't put the vote yet, he's partial to full frontal nudity photos, pm him and work something out!

Guess it's worth a try, busy with the loer terrain too, and that's the 3rd f March, thought the painting was 3rd of feb.

Thanks Midget, it was a lot of fun making those cloaks

As mentioned, get me a pic or two of the mini and I'll see you get points for completion. Feel free to post them in this thread so everyone can see what you managed as well.

Dude, stop! You're undermining my very precarious position as the trustworthy, reliable (sort-of) Person Who Runs Internet Painting Competions....

If I'm taking bribes, it's cash or nothing!

Yeah, exactly. While it's annoying to not finish quite for the deadline, it'd be more annoying to submit them below what I consider to be my standard just for the sake of it. I'd feel compelled to go and touch up the paint afterwards anyway so I might as well do it properly the first time round.

Should finish tonight, yesterday was a bit of a wash painting wise after my shower sprung a leak that needed fixing. Woohoo DIY plumbing!

Sorry for the photos, still getting used to the phone

Still lol'in about this... cuz you know, we're a mixed bag here he could end up with male nudes ^_^ therefore cash is obviously the better option

Clearly, I have offended the painting Gods in some way. Got in tonight and was sat down for no more than 5 minutes before I got a text from a buddy explaining that his lady-friend, with whom he was currently less than impressed judging by the plethora of expletives in his electronic missive, had just decided to part company with him and that it was time for us to imbibe some beverages (or rather I watch him do so and maintain my teetotality).

So that jump pack's still not done...

... and now it is! Bear witness to the fruits of my labour, late as they are:

So smooth, so clean.

Deeply envious of your whites.

Jesus Christ that is beautiful

Excellent job sockwithaticket. Well done sticking to your standards and not rushing. Those White's ARE beautifully done

Thank you, gents, you're very kind.
