I got a partly done conversion off ebay and thought it would fit perfectly for this theme. It was an catachan stegadon conversion, it will now be orkyfied and I'll add a big dakka gun on top. I'm in the mood for a proper build this challenge.

Hi everyone.

Soz for being away for a while. Had a pretty busy couple of months, which has now finished - weird feeling (more on my blog page soon). But means more painting, so I am entering the Deathwatch Overkill Patriarch (more photos of base build on blog page too).

Good to see you back, dude! Hope all is well, and lookin forward to seeing some paint on that Patriarch!

I'm going to enter my take on the most foul tempered, blood-crazed Ork ever to strap on a Rokkit Pack: Boss Zagstruk.

We're moving this month, so it feels like madness to enter, but what the heck:



Good luck to everyone!

Can really decide yet but gonna be one of these three beasts.
Skitarii reclaimed Dracosan with lightning cannon
Or
Chaos sorcerer Lord
Or
Casket from the Morticians Guild

I'll probably paint all of them up this month but just enter one

Count me in! Here's my proof for July:

I hope I can do a better job on these hounds than the ones I painted last May. My proof shows all 9 from this lot; I'll do them all and then enter the 5 best in my final pics (which means I can skip the one that is missing his tail, although I could sculpt a tail for him with green stuff or something).

Only the first day and it looks like there's gonna be some really cool stuff this month! Looking forward to those Squiggoths especially!

nice! ...he's a little runty, but he is nice and spiky!...maybe our runtherds can get together and swap squigfeed recipes

can't wait to see yours all built and armoured...that assortment of plasticard bits looks so neat and organised!...it's like you've actually planned ahead or something! ...I just bodged mine together as I went

Very quick WIP on the Patriarch base. It's a start anyway

Damn fine start. Love those metals

I have some nids but don't have a colour scheme

so i'll go with some trolls for blood bowl.

I like the look of those mantic orcs, especially the faces, they look a lot nicer to my eye than other minis i've seen in the range/past.

Oh if you mean my ones they're actually Shieldwolf Orcs, great kit. I much prefer them to GW and Mantic orcs, I'm always on the lookout for alternative orc ranges, these and the MOM Miniatures ones are my fav so far.

Here's mine.

Update

left to right
Troll with fish with fanatic infront, ripper stand in with ball in front, this troll will be throwing the goblin infront of him.

Will be putting some shoulder pads on them, mostly so i have a surface to write numbers on.

Here is my entry, although I hesitate between this and Kharn with a few berserkers...

I find the large model quite intimidating, to be honest, and I'm not sure if I can be a worthy painter to this classic metal model...

Once done it's going to be the centerpiece for the khorne deamonkin part of my greater chaos army, along with the 'iron men' space marines and berserkers that my son painted...

So, here is my Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury :

Here's my entry, a unit of treemen for Kings of War

The Start of my Lord Celestant on Stardrake, just waiting on the Carmine dragon to arrive from forgeworld to be his mount.,

Here's my entry: Genestealer Patriarch

Already some very nice Mini's in here - and i actually have a Model that might fight quite well:





My AT-ST Defiler Conversion, a Daemon Engine unleashed to 'defile' anything in its path

My pile o'bits

Change of plans. I want to build a monster for the chapter, so I purchased a land raider. I'm not sure yet which one I'll end up making it. It's to lead a hammer of caliban. Already have a trio of vindicator's. So I also got a tech marine and his servators to crew it. I don't like the finecast. Stuff that the tech marine and servators are made our of. Same stuff the interrogator chaplain was made out if. Brother also gave me a Nephilim.jetfighter to build, so I'll be using the extra bits from the darktalon side to deck out the land raider with..

I'm in! cybernetic version of Old One Eye for my Wild Hunt

man this is shaping up to be another awesome month...a lot of great proof's showing up so far!

@EverlastingNewb - great defiler conversion there man! great pose too I love those defiler walker conversions, I might have to try making one myself someday...

Roight, guess I'm in too... Unleash da Beast!
Proof:

Bottle! Let's Patriarch it up together.

Thank you

got the fuseloge body of the jetfighter put together, figured id do him first so i know what extra bits and bobs ive got for use on the landraider. And the jet is alot smaller. I didnt realize how much larger then a rhino a landraider was. painting the seats and controls and screens as i go. I'll edit in the photos when i go back inside far as progress. Im having fun and still thinking what to do for the terrain contest.

Bit of progress for the day - got all the base metals down for The Fist of the Omnissiah. Bloody cool tanks these Draosans

WIP - I got the base colors down, next is a black wash, and then the highlighting and detailing...



And then I need to find a better base for him than that plain 60mm...

That IS a frikken cool tank! Can't wait to see it done.

Here's some progress on my Patriach, nothing but basecoats so far.

After spending the whole day on it (it did feel good to be painting for a full day, listening to "Angel Exterminatus"... ) I'm quite happy with the result... I still need to base it, though...

I wasn't going to enter this month - nothing beastly on my workbench - but I see a few people are doing tanks. Is it stretching the theme too far to do a Rogue Trader Rhino? What if it had working lights?
