Get me in here!!! By which I mean I really hope my models come in time becuase this is right up my alley

Those are SOO cool TP^DC!! I can't wait to see them painted =D

thanks Guildenstern.

Amazing what you can find in your garage when you look.

I might try and enter something this month!

Is he a villain or hero. Depends on whose side your on..

@ckig: Good choice.

@Midgetgems: I love that model. Actually, I love all the Brian Nelson Orcs.

Thanks for the name of the sculptor Keezus, I've looked up his other work now and happily have a few of them, all really good Orc Models. e.g Nazgob, that's an absolutely brilliant model.

This months theme seems to have really brought out lots of good looking models and some very good painters, think its going to be a very hard fought battle for votes.

hi guys! i think if its ok id like to enter this months challenge. I leave for brazil for 10 days on sunday so i will not start painting till mid month, and may not finish who knows, but, heres a couple proof pics of my choice for this comp, the one and only, commissar Yarrick! A true hero!!



and primed:


hopefully its cool
Thanks everyone, looking forward to seeing everyones results. Last months entries were fantastic!
Cheers

Yarrick - a hero's hero!!! Lovely fit that

I will be entering my kitbashed Alvarex Maun model for my 30k raven guard.



He was the master of decent and always leading from the front to secure the landing zone from the first wave

You inspired me to finally put some paint onto my old hero quest figures, ive miss placed the wizard.
Proof with base coats.

I wasn't going to enter this month at all, but decided it was an opportunity to bring back my HeroQuest barbarian. But then you come along with your three characters and now I need to up my game! So I've dusted off these guys and they're currently sat in the gunk, getting stripped.

So it looks like we've got a good old head-to-head 'Quest-off'!

So first point to ssisal for goading me into this, but call it 1-1 because I've still got my wizard

(I'll post a single 'final' proof pic once all 4 are stripped and cleaned up)

haha...I love how this is just turning into a hero quest showdown now

Stuck between the impossible (Horus; I just don't have time this month), the huge (one of my dragons) and the doomed (respray Yarrick).

Wooh - i always wanted to be part of this.. soo,
here goes nothin'

Chaos Terminator Khorne Lord Conversion (with Axe of blind Fury & Power Hammer).

Proof:

Great use of the Chaos Spawn head there, Newb. What's the axe made from?

Do Yarrick. Should be much quicker than either of the former.

[spoiler]Magneto was right

That Magneto model is cool, but it looks like a pain to assemble! Bleh. Multi part metal models are nightmarish IMO.

The Axe is based on the Staff of the sorcerer version, an added Axe-head for one end, the main Edge is from a 'Morghast Achai' (Undead AoS Model) weapon. The sprue
comes with 12 weapons for 2 models, so many of left over weapons/bits.

Might just be me but he reminds me of Davy Jones from pirates of carribean lol.

Looking forward to how he comes out though!

On a completely unrelated note to this challenge

I finally got around to creating a "How to" post on a previous Challenge Entry, my Grot Marine.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/692912.page#8695812

My first attempt at writing a tutorial so I'd be interested to hear what you guys think.

Got some work done! Tried the new GW paints on this guy.

Nice effect. What’s under the new paint? Straight silver, or did you shade underneath?

A quick and dirty black/white gradient.

Here's a WIP of my entry so far:

Trying to get storm cast wings for a St. Celestine and/or a big stormcast hammer for a Cannoness conversion but it's looking like I might just have to miss out.

Magnetized these two buggers now, got to priming as well. Mr Surfacer is amazing

So first wip pic

WIP - I completed the basecoat on the PHR special commanders for DzC.. I figure blue is an appropriate color for the commanders of a fire-themed army because the blue & white parts of the flame are the hottest (and also because I need a break from painting so much yellow, orange, & red ).

Lots of brushwork still to be done.

PHR infantry & DKoK soldier shown for scale.

Will be executioner dreadnought

Para, a new proof pic for me. I'm going for all four...

Hmmm will a Chaos Imperial Knight be eligible for this months entry? He does command a certain presence, but I'm uncertain if he is in the "boss man" or "Holy hell that thing is big" category.

Paradigm I never found out if a Knight is eligible

Here's my proof picture.

Do models used for basing purposes count toward the model limit?

The website describes the new technicals as a gel. How does this work? I thought it would be closer to a clear paint.
