Great stuff Zobo glad you got it in in time The tail looks sufficiently spiky now, I especially like the running paint on the graffiti.

I will add to the last minute entries for the Orks with my mini version of a Squiggoth (also interestingly a combo of Blue and Snakebite) an Ork reared Stegadon with AA Gun (beast of an animal and beast of a gun). I'm not 100% done with it sadly but had to stop now, I would have liked to touch up a few bits, missed the odd highlight and also wanted to add a banner and extra touches e.g. packs, pouches of bones etc to add more detail to the model. In true 40k style the driver of the heavy weapon platform has a sword

My last entry was too bright but I think I may have over compensated for that in this one in 3 of the pics.







Good luck everyone

Some great entries coming in thus far, should be a fun browse through them all when it's time to vote!

I managed to squeak in with a couple of the Dreadball Xtreme free agent models. Here are my final pics:









With a bit more time I probably could have gotten these to look a little better and/or done a few more of them, but oh well, my fault for changing entry in the closing days of the month. At least I got something done.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

some great entries indeed, ZergSmasher...
it looks like the Orks are getting some extra love this month...

i had a lot of fun painting in a completely new style on this guy...
it is tough to loosen up, and not go for crisp line highlights on everything, but it was nice to try






good luck to everyone

cheers

Well done to all - some sweet entries this month again. Choosing (once again) is going to be a bitch

Sometimes my camera chooses to be a complete fethwit - this morning was one of those times~~~~!!!!!!
Anyhow - finally got some decent~ish shots taken of my Skitarii Rangers' new ride - a reclaimed and requipped Dracosan. First tank I've done and loads of fun to paint, not so much to photograph There's more shots over on the admech plog

Great efforts, everyone! I love the fact that there seems (not for the first time) to be an Orky flavour to this month's entries.

Unfortunately for me, moving house somewhat disrupted my work on Boss Zagstruk.. So, unless I can change my entry at the last minute to aforementioned house (6 rooms, three colours, countless layers... all to at least tabletop standard), then I have failed ... :-(

Good luck to all those who finished, and see you all next month!

@jah-joshua @Januine blown away by both your miniatures this month! You guys really knocked it out the park.

Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-)

Unfortunately I couldn't finish in time, I worked so hard to try and get it done but ran out of time with still both arms to do. Sorry guys.

Some amazing entries coming in though, voting is going to be tough, good luck to everyone.

@Bottle: thanks, dude
btw, i found painting on bare plastic is not really any different, since i paint straight out of the pot, my base coats are fairly thick and opaque anyway...
i don't think there is any advantage on skipping primer, though...
i'll stick with my black usual undercoat...

@Para: glad you like him, mate...
there are a lot of little mistakes that i will have to fix, before i take him to the local Con painting comp. in September...
i just ran out of time on the last day :(

see you all next month, with my Kung-Fu Battlesuit

cheers

With it being such a short topic, I'll do you the poll post contents to save you some compiling time.
I gotta sit and watch this vinyl paint cure in a few hours anyway, so I can't go to bed.

Cheers, but don't worry about that, I've got the post itself done up and saved in a word doc, it's just the actual setting up the poll that I don't want to do while slightly out of it as I don't want to miss anyone. So the hard work is done, it should only take 15 minutes or so tomorrow morning.

Ah no worries then!
Yeah putting the pill options in is a pain when you're awake.

I'm spraying all of my Daemons in different shades, so I'm sat here waiting to be able to touch stuff.
