Love it! I feel ashamed mine is so unfinished it has cobwebs.

Would it make you feel better to know that both him and his twin brother have been sat on a shelf for at least the last 5 years? =p

Same as mine. It's so old that I used the WD painting guide to start it.

@KommissarKiln: Can you pick just 5 pics of those guys? I know it'll mean leaving out one guy or the group shot, but rules is rules!

My bad for not having looked carefully for that rule. Let me pick the ones I feel are best...
Da Fearsum Five!

Consider these my final entry unless I can get a groupshot from behind, then I'll try to substitute that in for one of these. But I won't have a good camera available till right before the end of the contest.

Greetings,

Thank you for replying so quickly earlier I do appreciate it, and thank you for doing all the work for the contest I have submitted my Proof and I read up to five photos in the rules above so I added four of my finished photos to this post. Enjoy!

PS If you could post the frontal shot of my Sigmarine first I would be very appreciative.

That's beautiful

1 Week to go! I'm still here and still in the running. Grots are done (despite some difficulties I'll elaborate on when I post final pics), and I just have the kannon left to do. As usual, some great entries this month, I'm really looking forward to seeing the final pics from everyone. Good luck to all you like me who still have work to complete before the end of this short month.

I adore the clean metal plates on this, beautiful!

@Tittlemanscrest: In a word, beautiful! In two, bloody beautiful!

That blue man... That blue.

Hi,
Beautiful entries so far. Below are my entry pics. The ‘size matter’s not’ is the last thought that went the snotling’s mind before the Furioso’s right foot.

This is my first BA model (other than a test marine) I must admit I went back and forth trying to get the base/shades/highlights right until i realised i didn’t know what i was aiming for. At this point I tried out paradigms advice and I’m fairly happy with the results. The model took 2-3 times longer than it should have.

My fine detail work has always been sketchy and I’ll be redoing the ‘Mortem’ scroll when i get some time to paint again. (I won’t get another opportunity before March). I think i just need to stop avoiding fine detail and practice a bit more.

I also think I went a bit too far with battle damage/weathering (every other Blood Angel I've seen looks pristine). Ah well, it was fun to do =)

Would love to hear your critiques,

Frankly, it's fantastic! The Dread looks like a Dreadnought should, big, stompy and beat up (Clean Marines are for... well, people who like clean Marines, I guess, but personally, I think the more weathered the better! ). And the Grot is just hilarious, those minis are just so full of character. The base looks epic too!

And all done. The little fella with the big voice - The Vox Divina ServoSkull final photo

Moolet that is really nice, I think the battle damage is spot on too.

Jan, lovely work as always, even ignoring that you did it in a few days

Trevor is getting there, a few more washes, one more base and I will be ready for final touches HRRRRRRRNNNNNG. I also wrote a special message to BC on the underside of the base.

Love it, Jan! Got a group shot of him(?) with his companions? Very cheeky little thing.
Might be the white background, but I'm not sure about the cold base with the warm figure. Still very Blanche-y and creepy though.

Also holy hell at that Sigmarite. That's astonishing.

The amount of pro/extreme painters seems to be increasing each month, which is really cool to see so many working on these themes.
(Though very discouraging if like me, you haven't started yet. Not feeling much pull to the brushes after those posts and a lazy weekend)

Extreme painters? Is that the people who paint awesome stuff while freefalling from 20,000 feet or diving to the bottom of a reef or ramping snowmobiles off mountains?

Ikr?! Lol mine are barely base coated

@paradigm, extreme painting for me is painting before coffee :p

Anything before coffee is an extreme activity. As is painting right after coffee. I drink about half a pot in the morning, and any sort of detail work is impossible thanks to the jitters. Caffeine is a cruel double-edged sword. It gets me moving (no simple feat) but often non-consistently.

I meant the kind that roll out of bed, nudge a mini with their elbow and accidentally create a freehand banner, but I like your idea better.

Does feel like we've gone from 5 a side games to suddenly being dumped in the big leagues.

Wow, love the blue Sigmarine and think the battle damage on that Furioso dread is spot on. When it's charging through the enemy ranks like a wrecking ball machine of death and killing stuff, it is going to get a bit scratched and dirty

Here's my finished entry Luna from Malifaux, a small dog with a big bark

Very cool! Always good to see some realistic hound models out there. Very god job on the fur tones.

Great tones on the dog, nice job

Thanks for Furioso comments.

Extreme painting sounds good, perhaps it means dosing the paint thinner with a touch of cyanide. First time you get a point on your brush with your lips and you're done for. I wouldn't survive an hour...

That's not actually too dissimilar to what nearly did Tommie from Golem in last year.
Poor bastard got seriously sick from paint water.

I need to base my rippers and take decent pictures.

I hope I have some PVA glue and sand at home...

Good god i think I'm done.

Minor touch ups and some varnish - IT'S FINALLY OVER

Looks great KB - Trev is finally together, standing on his own and sporting a snazzy paintjob!!

I've witnessed the birth of all three of my children - each of those moments pales in comparison to the joy i feel in finishing this donglord

E: not today swear filter

just dont drop him

Dude that is cool.

Wicked awesome piece, kb_lock!

So, the legendary Trevor is done. Awesome job, kb!
