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?

A Rhino drives towards the Enemy to.. "unleash the beast" inside of it. But it ain't my call

A Rhino is named after a beast isn't it?

And the LED stuff to get him lit up:


I've got the wiring all done and the Rhino is primed and partly assembled (more in my blog soon), but painting hasn't yet begun.

No idea if I'll get this done in the month, but this is what I was going to be working on anyway, so might as well enter it.

I don't see myself completely painting/finishing one of these, but oh man, selecting the parts and building is so much fun already!

I'll call them "Birdbeast" and "Beastwarrior" for now:

Haha, yes I had indeed planned something and this is the result so far, a little bigger than I expected but that just means more dakka , the rivets take ages.

If yours turns out half as good as your warboss biker from last month I will very much look forward to seeing it. I do like that the drop pod doors still open, I can imagine a big raaaggh from the squiggoth, the doors opening and all hell breaking lose.

Some interesting interpretations on the theme so far, the birdbeast really seems to have caught your imagination Tim 121RVC, will be interesting to see them develop.

Looking better and better Midget Gems! Have to say, front left ammo box appears different profile (without the lip on edge) but maybe it's just the photo, certainly got some dakka going on!

whoa MG! - mine may have yours beat in raw brawn, but yours definitely has mine beat in dakka! good stuff!

oh, for future reference regarding rivets...I highly suggest dropping less than a fiver on a pack of these (or similar) ...~20,000 ready-to-go ~2mm rivets, and they work with plastic glue - just get a little pile of them out on your hobby bench, make glue-dots on your model where you want them, like 10 at a time, then just use a damp small brush to pick them up and place them on the glue-dots - dead simple! ...I just counted, and my squiggoth's armour has 336 rivets on it (blimey! )...I don't even want to know how long that would've taken me if I was slicing up plastic rod, or hole-punching plasticard...ohhhh lordy...makes my hands cramp up just thinking about it!

now see...this is why I love orks...we're basically modelling the exact same thing here...but we're going about it in completely different ways!...yours is looking brilliant so far, and I'm pretty darn happy with how mines coming along too...and I mean, even the concept alone is just brilliant - what other army can you perfectly legitimately have basically a dinosaur, with a brace of honkin' great guns, or a repurposed drop pod strapped to it's back? I just love it!

I'm curious about the links you guys use to post your finished pics. Under the "Share this image" heading in the gallery, I use the one titled "forums", because it seems to me like the image Dakka displays in the thread is pretty crummy, but if people click on the image, they get the full-resolution, nice-looking image.
However, if you post one of the other links that sends a user directly to the gallery page, they are more likely to vote for your image because they don't have to search around for it, right? Thanks for any input.

Cheers Dodge, for that bit personally I blame the Mekboy and Grot orderlies, so hard to find a decent one these days. Those responsible have been severed as dinner to the squigs. (I did that bit wrong but by the time I noticed it was past the point of no return)

Thanks for the tips on rivets Zobo, I did used to do them all with plastic rod cut up, recently started using Zinge industry ones, I might give the gems a go on the next project. One thing thats def helped was the brush tip, I was using superglue and a nail (to place a dot of glue) and a toothpick, or the back of the Stanley knife to pick the rivets up and get them into position, I avoided brushes because I didn't want to ruin them with glue but since I had one on its way out anyway it has proven a lot better, ty

Yeah I like Orks cos I can do anything I can imagine and call it Orky. hence lots of my other finished models. I started a little book of Ork conversion ideas for when I get round to them and/or the right challenge comes up

@ Gulgog TufToof also a useful tip is you can set the size you want the pic to display at using the "recommended size" drop down menu in the "share this image:" area. Default is 600px, i would suggest don't go full size if its a 3000 x 400o pic etc, might clog up the thread. Resize it on your PC first.

Nice pose on your defiler EverlastingNewb, certainly a beast of a machine.

@Midget Yeah, i'm still not so sure about the pose but thanks
I actually had something like this in mind



but, after while of pre-assembling, i thought this pose wouldn't fit to a defiler, which only moves 6"

wow! so many people posting WIP's! - looking great so far guys!

mine's still got a lot to go on it...more metal on the drop pod, some more colours here and there, and just loads of weathering and detail-work required, but here's my progress so far:
Spoiler:



^NOMNOMNOM!

...I went ultramarines with the looted drop pod, because I've already got 2 looted rhino "trukks" painted as ex-ultramarine, so I thought I may as well have a matching set ...also, blue's lucky

Lovely work, KD! Brutal stuff!

@Begel Dverl: Nicely done! Just a quick note, for these challenges you must submit a pic of the model unpainted just to prove you're painting it this month! I'll let you off this time, but if in future you could take a Proof before painting then that'd be great. Cheers.

I got a bit more work done so far tonight on my first jetfighter, if i can get it bright enough downstairs, ill take a couple wip shots,

ive got the extra bits in with the landraider's bits, im going to start on that tomorrow, not sure yet which type i will make. Something with similar range as the vindicators. ill decide that as im painting the interior tomorrow.

I am going to go open the tech marine box and see how bad the resin will be to do them.
