Shut up and stop being right!

So with that not so subtle hint that i should stop faffing about, trev has had his wings painted

I'm considering running crackle over the wings - i tested it on a flyrant in my blog thread, it might work

You have me torn in that I greatly dislike that on flesh wing membrane, but I don't want to get in the way of you having fun.

Trying to work out if photographing a tiny part of a big model would count. That ickle Daemonette has a home at the back of my Soulgrinder.

So long as it's made clear that the Soul Grinder itself isn't the focus of the piece (unless you're entering that as well, it'd fit the theme if you've got proofs and such) then I'd take no issue with that.

Trevor. Fun. Lol.

Crackle was my backup plan, my primary plan was a stencil that has not shown up

Alright so I finished up my possessed dunecrawler, only problem is that my light box was too small and I don't have much of a better set up. I could try something if you all think the pictures could be a lot better.

Photos look good Ustrello. If you try cropping out the edges to stop distracting the eye it may help, but not essential.

Looking great though

Thats a good idea on the cropping (which I just did), and the pictures do look a lot better. But do you all think I should just re shoot them and re crop them so they are more centered?

I think if you have time Ustrello, it's a good idea to reshoot. None of your pictures show 100% of the model, which is a crying shame.

Para, I don't think I'll get the Soulgrinder done in a month, but if I do, my proof will be the receipt from today. I've already started building and messing about.

Bloody lovely work Ustrello. You're the one to beat this month. That DC is fantastic looking. Colours really pop and I love the weathering on the underside with all the red dust being kicked up onto the legs. Great work.

BC - you're doing a soulgrinder? Hope you get it finished.

@Ustrello: Fantastic work! I'll add those second lot of pics for now, if you reshoot then I'll just swap the new ones in.

He'll be done be Wednesday, I need him for a game.

Looking good everyone.

Ustrello, slow down would you? You make the rest of us seem inadequate.

3rd and final of the 3 I got last year, I probably won't get any more as the ones they still have in stock I'm not a massive fan of. In hindsight, I kind of wish I'd got their Corax for my Shattered Legions force... but then, that FW one is awful shiny! I always said if I got another FW one it'd be Horus, but Corax is awesome and actually useful to me from a gaming perspective.

The FW Corax is lovely. I've put getting him on the backburner for now and got something else with cash but fully intend to get him at some point this year

No, but there'll be treadmill-using daemonettes chasing terrified guardsmen.
"a fusion of the most powerful daemonic entities with machines of war". Nobody said how exactly that had to be achieved.

Any thoughts welcome!
