I've been something like Ladies of War.

How about these:
Squad Assault: entry must be a squad of models that all go together, like a Space Marine Tactical Squad or a mob of Ork Boyz
Aerial Assault: entry must be some kind of model that can fly or jump a great distance. A flyer or model wearing a jet pack would be good examples.
Supernatural: entry must be some kind of supernatural entity like a demon, angel, ghost, or other such thing that basically ignores the normal laws of physics (perhaps even superheroes would count).
I See Better From A Distance: entry must be equipped with a long-range weapon, like a sniper rifle, longbow, etc.

can't recall what we'd been talking about last month - that was forever ago!!

I like the big guns/warmachines idea though!

Average Joe works for me. I also like the previous suggestion of Purge the Alien (a trophy from an enemy).

Yes. This. Ladies.

I think ZergSmasher's topics are good ones: I also feel that the topic choices should provide a rough idea of what might fit into the category without a lengthy description of what the originator was thinking. I honestly think this gives one more creative leeway as interpretation is up to the submitter. example: ZergSmasher's topics with more generic names might be:

1. Band of brothers
2. I fly the friendly skies
3. The supernatural
4. The marksman

IMHO, I think that every month should have: Something "insert color here" as a choice (or in the case of an awareness month: an option for bonus points). If chosen, every model entered should use that color as a major component. e.g. October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Something Pink. April could have been: Something Blue for Autism Awareness.

Completed:

I am considering switching my entry to my chaos knight (hell forges consider these to be god machines right?) If not that is okay.

how about a "hey thats not yours" or "you dont belong here" theme? A model thats out of place or using a weapon or attire that is not his.like the female option even though i dont own any.

I am now picturing a squad of 5 Ultramarines, except one Ultramarine is actually an ork holding an UM cutout in front of him.

Someone get Midget Gems or Kustomer D on that one pronto!

Keep the suggestions coming, I'll do the poll some time tomorrow so the more I have to pick from/adapt the better!

Like this one? Not mine.

Reavsie: Looks like your camera is having trouble getting the whole model into focus in a couple of your final pictures. You can get a better effect if you draw the camera back so that more of the model can be in focus and then crop your photos down.

Those Sneaky Gits are stuff of legend.

The very ones I was picturing.

True keezus, mate of mine bought these fine looking ladys, just might have to snatch one up if it comes to it

@Kingpin: I feel you there. I have way too many models in my backlog. There's a few items in the Toughest Girls line I would like to put paintbrush to...

Nice job! Love the plasma pistol.

I decided to just go with the full body shots and hope that if anyone wants more detail they just click and zoom in, they are big pictures.

Final 5/finished

Bloody hell Lechine that's insanely good!

Is it still ok to enter Paradigm, and if so with this chap? If not no worries.

Dang. Hopefully they make that dude available separate, as his box got discontinued.

He comes in the new heros box with I believe the Strike Force Ultra TermiCap, and the one that came with the other strike force (Shadowhammer or something like that) that'll be released this weekend.

Out now. $50 for 3 previously overpriced HQs. Not a bad box overall.

There are other boxes with the previously limited captains. The TDA bundled with a tac termi squad, and the solaq guy with a command squad.

All looking pretty amazing....................And with that in mind I humbly present my entry......do heads count as relics! If not he is a relic himself, left over from a by gone era.

Proof:


Final shots.







Good luck all.

Would love to see this/big guns never tire. Man, if I didn't have so much going on I'd paint up my old (freaking lead,) chaplain from White Dwarf 108.

I actually wonder how harmful lead miniatures are.

love it Cam. So many awesome little hidden details to pick up on . great stuff

An update. I'm pretty happy with how it is coming along

No way the Thanatar is gonna be finished this month. Spent too much time on other stuff. Lol. So my 'relic' is going to be one of the revered tech priests of Achlys III. Now that the ruststalkers are finished I've managed to make a bit of progress on him. Proof n WiP photos here we are

Its nice to see the amount of help and advice people are giving each other in this thread.

hahah set the challenge and I'm sure I can give it a go with the right theme.

I quick WIP shot of mine (terrible photo), base colours on, needs layers, washing and highlights now. The bridge is looking less likely now but still a possibility depending on how this week goes.

Great work everyone,

@spuj: not too late, welcome aboard

@Cam: that came out of nowhere! Awesome stuff!

@King Pariah: Good stuff, definitely reminiscent of the old school Necron Pariah models!
