I have 2, still want 1 more and a helltalon.

Yeah this is one freaking sweet model. Cannot wait to see this with some paint on it!

I'm looking forward to the deathwatch sub'challenge, should be a fun to watch!

I really enjoyed my kit bash last month, so I'm giving it another go this month.

These bits will hopefully become a sanguinary priest with winged jump pack, i'm still at the blue-tac stage of figuring out a pose.

All built and ready to go. Gotta wait till the wee hours of the morning to prime them though due to this FETHEATING KOREAN HUMIDITY...... ahem..... Whether or not I'll have time to build a wee vignette to house the scene remains to be seen.

Perfect I just got work from the good folks at Raging Heroes, and I'll be getting my Santa Dolores, which will be the Demonhost of my Inquisition army, so that will be my entry for the month... I'll post a proof picture as soon as the figures get here...

Put me down for a Nephilim Jetfighter. Chances are I won't finish again, but nothing new there.

It's in this bag. I'll do a better proof when/if I get started

uh, so guys...not making any actual solid plans here or anything yet, but still...just looking for some rough opinions...to gauge my sanity

....is a 34" wingspan (and a body to match), way too ridiculously big(!!!!), for an ork "blasta bommer" superheavy flier?...I'm thinking about going full BigMek on one of these...

too crazy?...or crazy enough?

(if I do decide to go in on this, no guarantees it'll be close to done for this month's challenge, but who knows...)

When it comes to orks, there is no such thing as too big, or too crazy.

And just because it will probably come up: No, that’s not enough Dakka.

I look forwards to seeing your Jetfighter.. I hope mine last month can serve as a little inspiration for you. I really look forwards to seeing how yours ends up regardless of if you finish in august or next July.

I am gonna enter this very tall thing, as I think it qualifies.
Cultist for scale.

To me, that looks like Zam Wesell's airspeeder from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Should look good all painted!

Ooh, a Nephilim! Do a good job on it so I can be inspired to finish mine!

quick WIP picture.

If anyone has some advice on what I can use to create blood pouring from the cup I'd really appreciate the help. =)

If you cut some fine strips of blister package plastic, you can coat them in Mays and layers of effect paint or acrylic varnish mixed with gore colour.
I did something similar to create a wave.

Thanks Buttery Commissar, that's a good idea.

I've read UHU can be effectively used too, perhaps using the strip of plastic you suggest.

Only two words: Hot Glue!

That's what I used for my Ork Boy last month. Just a drop on the cup and pull (?) it down. Try on a piece of sprue first.

Proof:

@Verviedi, it's such a nice kit, isn't it?!

Although I don't know how I'm going to get used to having proper instructions from Forgeworld. Where's the fun in building it if you know where each random bit goes?

I'd heard FW have started giving proper instructions now - is that just with new kits or have they gone back and made proper instructions for the older kits too like for example on the warhound and reaver Titans?

I used over 50 magnets in putting it together. That was a complete bitch to build. Looks beautiful, though. I almost miss the instructions that look like they were photocopied 40 times.

No, just new designs.

Just checking over mine when it arrived, it does seem like they magnetised everything; weapons, undercarriage, heck it even looked like they put magnet holes in the back of the engine nozzles?!

Well, I'm in again for this month, in a much more timely manner too!

Proof:

Ooo, nice! The Flanker is one of my favourite aricraft

Sadly I fethed up the magnets on the missile racks, so I'm stuck just keeping the covers on. I don't mind, they were quite ugly anyway.

Thanks for the support Ssisal, I am having some heavy RL stuff that keeps me from hobby. I hope my Nephilim turns out as good as your's

ZergSmasher wrote:Ooh, a Nephilim! Do a good job on it so I can be inspired to finish mine!

Again, not sure the quality will be up to measure, but I'll try.

This is progress so far. Base is at concept stage, but will look a bit like this (the proper proof is second)

Hi! This is the first time I post here. I have started to paint 2 drop pods for my salamanders army.

Progress so far:

Going for a Stealth Fighter look.

I just recieved my TGG2 shipment, so here is my proof picture for my floating Demonhost...

@Verviedi: That Barracuda is a lovely kit

I just ordered a Darkshroud to inspire me to finish the first one i have, that is about 3/4th finished.

Ill be submitting proofs once the kit gets here, along with the WIP shot of current one.. So i can keep them straight as ill be using the same paint scheme
