If that's a squad leader then it's fine, it's more HQ characters that are a bit too heroy and not enough everyday!

I think he's something like a Sgt - squadleader, yes.
I ll post a proof later and than we ll see.

Thx

First Stormtrooper progress, just needs some highlighting and tidying up the wash:

That's a cool storm trooper, where is it from?

FFG Imperial Assault.

First one of these I have signed up for all year and I failed to meet my entry in December. So I will try to redeem my failures this round.

Five Imperial Fist Breachers. No Sergeant and no Special Weapons. Just normal grunts doing normal grunt work!

This are some YELLOW marines. I'm too gutless to take on that challenge, well done so far.

WIP of one of the contractors.



All of the 5 have the oranges done and all bases are at this stage and nearly done. The big Hunter mech is partly painted on my MEdge blog if anyone wants to see how the army will tie together.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
CHALLENGE TIME: I'm actually painting up a bunch of Necron Warriors at the same time which I don't plan on using as a replacement for these, but I would have 10 models at the end of the month. They are by NO means linked so can't fathom a way to enter both squads. So I suppose I'm challenging all you creative lot to come up with a 40K/MEdge crossover story for me

(The in-joke for me is that I'm so tired with RL that I was knee-jerk going to enter them both because all my armies are fighting on the same planet - an old Necron Tombworld - for the "fabled prize", which means I can paint everything I have and stick it together with no questions asked ........... Unless they are from different games obviously )

Bit of progress today. Need to be getting my skates on though. Back to work tomoro

So I have finshed my Squad today.

Cracking bunch of Death Guard Kyratos

Hmm... I may have to dig around for a fig to do for this month....

Four basic bolter boys WIP.


I’m undecided if I should do the bonding studs in white or gold. Painted one of each to see how they looked. All my 40k ones are white, but I’m using gold as the major trim color for my 30k guys.

More close up pic in my gallery/blog.

Mkay getting nervous - my order isn't in yet, so I'm going to go ahead and use this as my proof pic in case I don't get my other troops in in time!



Plus I totally forgot I was already working on a unit of ten, sometimes I'm forgetful like that although some may label these villains in their own minds they're definitely quite everyday - oh cheese!

So, here's my 2nd proof if you will.
It's a Greater Good Deep Strike Veteran Ranger Big Shas from Wargame Exclusive.
Is he still "unimportant" enough to fit the theme or is he too much?

I'm aiming a little bigger as these need to be complete by the 28th.
Sparrows' Circus, my 7TV cast.

John - Magician
Jodie - Assistant / Apprentice Illusionist
Timothy "Tiny" Spain - Strongman
Soni - Exotic Dancer [carried by Tiny]
Jake - (ex) Lion Tamer and his dogs

Getting there...

The tidiest these will ever be.

So I guess a Honor Guard member won't fit in this race?

Better late than never. I wasn't sure I was going to have time to paint this month, but I'm going to try and fit in one mini before the 30th if I can.

Consider my hat tossed in, and here's the freshly prepped proof pic:



One Blood Angels tactical marine in Mark VII Power Armor.

Thanks and take it easy.

-Red__Thirst-

Re-posting this from the bottom of page 5, as I don't see my name or proof picture on the list of participants in the opening post. Is it too late to join in?

Thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone's completed minis.

Take it easy.

-Red__Thirst-

Sorry, must have missed it! Fixing it now!

waheeeyy progress Cannot wait to get painting Larks! Vignette first though

Hoping to start painting again this Thursday when finals are all over. But I should have it done easy

What are the options for next month?

Coming along nicely.
This is one hell of an awesome sculpt I tell you!
It really pushes me to be as neat as I can.

@Januine, I m looking forward to see where your project is going.

K D

Januine, you magnificent bastard. You make me sad that I did my Tanith CCS. I need to strip them and redo.

@BC - hahahaha - I'm sitting here quietly sipping my morning coffee and you just made me snort it out my nose! The base (minus the stained glass) is now built, textured and base sprayed. Hopefully get a start painting it this afternoon. Larks and the stained glass should get started on the weekend........he hopes

Hah. I'm not joking, I did them in 3-4 days for a tourney, and Milo's facial expression looks like Gaunt plays his pipes when the lights go out. It's very disturbing.
Also a friend dropped my Larks on the stone flags at WHW, so he's badly shredded down one side. >_<

ouch. Milo does have a bit of an odd expression anyway. Lark's googley eye freaks me a bit n'all. Dio is ready to go. Printed off a few propaganda posters to put and then deface on the outer wall too

I havent looked at my entry in 2 weeks, because we arent on speaking terms.

I painted some pants and guns.
