Proof: (also a poll... bare head or helmet head?)

I’d go with the bare head.

Do you have a bear head?

Your suggestion is duly noted. Gold star for "effort".

Thought I'd do some quick WIP shots of this weekends progress

The cloak is a GS press mold I created, the cap turned out ok just about, the bat is a spure attacked with a file which I'm very happy with.

When going down the baseball theme I started trying to remember all I new about baseball (not much and mainly from films I'm afraid) but I did remember a myth/fact about Babe Ruth pointing to the "centre field" (The Sandlot Kids Movie) and then hitting a home run in that direct during an important game so I thought I'd try and also incorporate that into the model as a little homage to him and that event. I like to try and get in little references like that to my entries.

If anyone is interested

WIP

even with the background info, I still have no idea what on earth you're doing there MG - but whatever it is, I'm liking it! ...that bat's turned out great too!

Hi,
none of my current to do list fits this theme so it took me a while to work out what to do for this one.
Here is my proof, only a little one this month.

Proof
Journey of development for a special everyday hero.
No fluff yet

Not ending as a dread? Are you even trying?

Ty kb_lock

had a pretty good mother's day! bought more orks for myself (yes I've already heard all the but they don't have mothers jokes )

One of them may well be getting done for this! because I dunno when I'll get my Foundry Miniatures order, since it's coming from UK too.

Lol, good idea. Not sure ill have time. Perhaps thats part of the fluff, the unstoppable warrior..

Design for this month's entry is pretty much sorted now but looks like it'll be a few days before I can get started on it due to a sudden and unwanted hospital stay :/
Still, should still be able to get stuck in by the weekend.....fingers crossed

A bit late, but I was thinking these guys as they often save my bacon in my games:

Well i me and my wife will do two tac marines and my son will be doing a "converted" gretchin tac marine, after a great convertion in the spacemarine challenge he wanted one for his ork armythe snapfit guys , might get a couple of purity seals added, but i need to get one unit done, and osrics gretchin

That's a great head on the Gretchin Marine... is that from the old wolf rider?

puny umiez! see? dat armour's only fit fer a grot!

love it man! ...and actually, seeing how perfectly that fits...I'm way too tempted to make a "mega-armoured grot" squad (counts-as 'eavy armour boyz) ...unfortunately I probably won't though, got wayyyy too much in my WiP mountain to get through, really shouldn't start anything new for a while

Get well soon Januine, remember to play nice with the nurses.

Interesting stuff everyone. Keen to see the finished results.

There's a lot of marines going on here, I feel like I should change my entry, but still gonna stick with the Epirians for now. Just need to find time to get started!

Don't worry, I get that feeling a lot and I'm the one making these things.

Cool Mootlet when I see a snotling with a mushroom spear I know its got to be a good entry

Interesting Idea Loricatus Aurora, almost like the evolution of man if you face them sideways

I'm really glad you liked the original Grot marine idea KINGPIN54, I think this is the first time someone has copied an Idea/model I've done which I'm taking as massive compliment, thank you. The head you have chosen suits perfectly. I did start writing a "How to" guide for the Grot Marines since you and a few others showed an interest but sadly I haven't finished it yet.

feel better dear!

Get well soon Jan.

Midget! Yu are a curse on my marines, with the only gretchin box set available, there are a few 4 heads left over and as most people know i have a good bunch of snapfit marines... The gretchin heads do fit nicely! Thanks for the inspiration and curse!

My model choice for this month is hating me and I hate it.

After much deliberation over what to do, this won me over. I am in for our Everyday Heroes

That's pretty epic King Pariah. Did you do the conversion?

Yep

I'm finished. My everyday hero, a Swordsman of Alahan, from the rank and file of the line against the Wolfen and Dirz.

That's sweet - really nice gradients, love it

Hahhaha - even in hospital I get to post hobby stuff!!! Check out those sexy Korean hospital pyjamas!!!!
Couple of early design doodles for my entry this month, presuming I ever get let out of here!

This looks great, I love it =)

Snotlings make everything better, rumour is that they give you a +10% modifier to your vote count...

@gohkm - Love the way the fabric turned out.

@Januine - Even your sketching is awesome. Is there anything you can’t do well? Also: hope you are doing OK. Hospitals are not good places to be.
