My proof!

Dude.....what are those?!

I'll throw my hat in the ring for this one, here's my proof. At least something will be made from these parts!

Sekban Special Naval Unit, they are part of the Haqqislam faction in Infinity.

There is a blister with the rocket launcher one, and then a box with the other four.

Here's a WIP of my Devastators. They're kind of messy, but the major base colors are all there.

Lots more work to be done on these guys, but I'm making progress. Also, would it be okay if I painted up the little Armorium Cherub and entered it with these guys? I know that would make 6 models, but he's really tiny and kind of decorative rather than being a 6th member of the squad.

Welcome to the challenge Teban (and anyone else that's new)

Always good to see more people entering, good luck on your model and the Imperial fists army.

This is the first time I've entered, but happy to give it a go! Might be a bit pushed to get these finished, but maybe this is just the motivation I need to get cracking!

Classic. Don’t forget the toothy grin!

All of the work was done in the past weeks. Sorry for the pic spam

1st pic is from a week ago. I hope the pink base and little detail will be proof. If not theres a Fellglaive below.






Adding sunflowers and tulips to his grassy green base tonight.

I've got some space marine tanks swimming in some simple green so i'll pull a couple of those out.

... I'm provisionally in if I can stretch the figure limit.
Had an idea late last night that would be doable.

One epic squad per Legion.

I can't strip these because they're my favourite thing ever.

those bikes remind me of chocobos from Final Fantasy! Love the classic landraider though

I´m in.

I have to options:

Option 1: A landspeeder I received in a bits-box-collection from eBay. He was "shot" several times and seemed to count as an objective marker (?). I got something on my mind for this one.

Option 2: An objective marker for my local GW store, which I promissed the to the storemanager after winning the Armies on Parade-event last week ...

I´m going to do both this month so I ll decide which one will be posted at the end.

Cheers

Pretty late to this but, why not both?

Use the objective marker as the base for the flight stand.

Can I point you towards http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/646010.page#8508011. The results are in!!!

Well my forgeworld order finally came in. So I can do 5 legion tactical marines (normal) 5 legion tactical marines (vexilla and sgt), Kaedes Nex or Alvarex Maun.

What do you all think?

Kaedes, only because he's quite possibly the coolest sounding character in the XIX, and I really want to see him done justice (which being you will be done)

Making good progress on those Gal Vorbak:



Now onto all the details - I keep finding new stuff on these guys O.o

Damn that is a gorgeous sculpt. Defintely on my gotta buy list

Beautiful model and nice work.

I thought I'd add some WIP pictures.

Marines base coated starting to work on chests so I can fit their weapons.


Sergeant nearly done. I was so pleased with the clean look I got on him, then I decided to battle damage him; I think I went a little too far. Have I done too much?

I guess I can always say they just survived an exploded rhino.. The loin cloth is immaculate though. Anyone any tips on how to make it look a little less clean? Marines are quite new to me (or really old I guess, its been over 20 years since I last painted one).



using the sofa in my painting room as backdrop, the colour reproduction is a little more accurate here.

I opted for Brother Gideon as my entry this month. It's so weird painting fancy power armour when all you've painted is Orks for months...

Anyway, WIP:

I hope this is ok for a starting pic:



Forgot to take it before I cranked out the airbrush to put the yellow down...

I'm not a huge fan of this model, but my 5th company IF's need their leader...

A little WIP. Basecoats pretty much done.

Lots of fun looking stuff this month!

Basing as promised.

Dear God...

Lol

Got my basic colors blocked out and some washes done. Tonight will be highlights and hopefully some detailing!

More WIP. He'll be done by weekend i think.

@BC: Can I ask that you only enter 5 bases (one base=1 'mini' is my general rule for small scale stuff)

@Moolet: Looking fantastic! These weathered BA you're doing are very close to being the kick up the backside I need to revisit my own (again... this time will be the 3rd redux! )

@xSoulgrinderx: I don't mean to be an arse about it, but I'm hesitant to allow that simply as the theme is Space Marines, and as far as I can tell, that's in no way related. I'm open to more than just actual astartes (as you can see from the various other games' naval military units, ie Marines in Space, that have been entered), but unless there's something I'm missing, your entry just doesn't seem related enough to be permitted... Hope that's not a problem, feel free to enter something else.

Ah never mind then. Forget that proof.
I was going for a rainbow of tiny squads or a long strip of 20 single tiny marines. Popping them all on 5 bases wouldn't really work for that idea.

A long strip of 20 marines *would* fit on 5 bases, even if they're not presented on them. I'll happily represent you in dakka court if you like

You know what? It's not like you're going to get a massive advantage by doing a load of small minis, and as kb said, they'd technically fit on 5 bases anyway! The rules are in place to stop people getting ahead by entering a whole load of models and to keep things focused, not to stamp on creativity. Go for it!
