Finished: First deployed in 430AR, the Berserker is the oldest Warjack model still in use. Obsolete by modern standards, it has continuously prowled the battlefields of Immoren for well over a century. If anything, while this relic of an earlier age is lacking in both the armor and the armament of its modern brothers, and age has made its cortex brittle - it makes up for this shortcomings through pure ferocity in battle.

**Kustomer D**

Done!

I mean, he´s finally painted.

I present to you:

My Warboss in MegaArmour!
He´s the mouth and the teeth of Mork and Gork! He´s also the right fist in the face of every enemie and "friend" who doubts his words!
His MegaArmour is made out of the best selected metall and steal he could find.
He´s equiped with a DeadShinyShoota, a Gitfinda and always has his lovely Attacksquigg running around with him.

Hope you like him, I do

Can´t wait to see everyones finished miniatures in about a week. It´s gonna be awesome again!

Have a good one, guys!

**Midget Gems**

4 really good finished entries there.
Jan love your skill and colour on the cloth
Zerg your painting is really coming on, good work
Keezus a really good looking model
KD yay for the warboss, the yellow is looking really good, such a hard colour to get right. After trying my own yellow Ork dreadnaught conversion I can really appreciated the difficulty.

Last update for me this weekend since I'm away again till Friday. This is how Indy Jr is doing.

**angelofvengeance**

Bahahaha that is fething awesome!!!

**Januine**

Fantastic Midget Gems!!! This is warming up to be a seriously tough month eh?!

**Camkierhi**

Nice selection of orks this month, great work all, looking amazing.

**keezus**

@Midget Gems: By the fist of Gork, your entry is just oozing character. Great job on the stones too... Looking forward to seeing your final entry.

Sorry, dont wanna q everybodys picks, great work on all the models girls and guys, hopefully i will get one vote this month, but with the level of the entries thus far i am humbled just being part of the comp

**Loricatus Aurora**

Update.. Progress! Some highlighting done, helmet on. Now final details and basing. Should add I tend to regard marines like commandos; they get in, blast everything away, then they get out. Thus each battle in my mind is the marines arriving fresh, loaded with firepower and fully briefed. For that reason I tend not to paint on battle damage, simply a preference thing.
Will however paint some dust around the base of his boots

**Brennonjw**

stupid college taking all of my stupid free time

I'll try to get the tank to a 'passable' finish, but no promises.

**Wilson**

finished Lightning!

**Guildenstern**

ooooh beautiful lovely weathering and a great colour scheme!

**Ustrello**

Looking good so far everyone, I really like that warjack keezus!

I almost finished the knight, and this morning I sealed in the ironearth and matted down the transfers. All that is left is the weathering powders, finishing the tentacles and a few other bits I missed.

**King Pariah**

Aside from a little bit of touch up here and there, it's about ready to paint.

**Zambro**

Here we go:

Thoughts?

**ZergSmasher**

Nice Contemptor! The weathered, used look is what sells it, at least for me. Good job doing all that yellow!

**ChaosDad**

I'm finally getting started, late in the month, but making good progress...

Still quite a way to go, though...

**kb_lock**

Coming in hot, i might get the scenery done for his photo backdrop

**Guildenstern**

wow Zambro - looking awesome!

Chaosdad - you can do it

**Ustrello**

Nope, that is the regular Space Hulk dead terminator on throne

The terrain is Hirst Arts molds in plaster, and the base for the throne is a plastic cast of the same molds.

I need to do like 10 more casts today if I want any chance of finishing that room - then I can prime it tonight and HOPEFULLY finish on time

**Camkierhi**

Get on with it then, want to see that all done up.

**kb_lock**

two casts down already, 4 hours before kids come home, I'M DOING IT GET OFF MY CASE ALREADY

**Loricatus Aurora**

Done!
Ran out of time so the purity seals look terrible.
Perhaps one day ill repaint.
Overall im happy and glad this comp catalised me to get onto him. Thanks Para.

**SirOllox**

Finished

**ChaosDad**

I'm quite happy with the result:

But I'll take proper pretty picture tomorrow with the daylight for my final entry...
