@Whittlesey: If it was a possessed tank, you'd get away with it for sure. Though bog standard tank... not really IMO.

Yeah, I'm afraid the tank is probably a bit too far. Sorry.

Hello everybody,

I've never posted here (or I suppose really do much posting anywhere on the internet), but I lurk these boards frequently and I've always loved seeing these competitions, and what people come up with. I recently started getting back into the hobby after a long break, and I happen to have the bits lying around to participate this month so I figure this is a good enough way to start posting.

I'm going to be building a chaos sorcerer on a Disc of Tzeentch. Here's my proof, the bits I'll be using to build him.

Entered! Gonna convert some, so that will... take... a few days.

Yeah, that's cool guys. Figured I was pushing it a little too far there! Just a shame I've got nothing that fits the theme. Next month!

I guess you don't have a large pile of unpainted shame then?

Ahh, the pile of shame! Why do you think I keep entering, every little helps and at some point I may actually paint more than I buy!

Going to be going with a Grey Knight or Inquisition Psyker this month, pics later on

Yes, I too am trying to get through my pile of shame and using these competitions to pick out one piece to do at a time

Me too. And the challenges are helping me to develop my painting techniques. If I could work on efficiency I'd be set then

I have a pile of shame, just nothing remotely magical in it. Magnets were my best shot!

Although I am doing okay getting through it - I've been really good at not buying more. Must finish my marines before I buy more. Must be strong!!

Go buy yourself a librarian. You know you want to...

One more mini in the pile is nothing, and you are going to paint him right away!

I lost Eldrad's head!! 70% finished his head and promptly lost it. Lol

1. There is only 1 Dakkanaught that could properly bring to life Freddie Morkury and the Glam Rokkaz (lookin' at you MG).

2. There is nothing even remotely magical about a "pile of shame".

You're a bad influence Nevelon - it's that kind of thinking that creates the pile of shame in the first place!!

But the models are so shiny and new! You can't leave them on the shelf, they must come home with you!

LMAO

It's so true

Have an exalt

Here's my entry - Cadwallon's Julian Scarecrow. I'm going to take my time with this one, and try a few new things - some crazy freehand and some water effects on his base.

No, OK, I admit, with me, it won't be crazy good freehand. Just crazy.

And...done. I may add a decal to the shoulder if I decide on one for my small Space Wolves force. (EDIT: added the decal for the final effect)

I'll be entering the aspiring champion from dv who I'll be using as a sworcerer.

I'll be entering this Necromancer for Age of Sigmar.

Hi all,

Put together a Space Marine Librarian in Terminator Armor from a few different kits and added a green stuff (okay, technically Procreate) cloak and a Plasticard Storm Shield.

Termie Librarian - WIP - Front


Termie Librarian - WIP - Back


Lots of interesting stuff so far. Good luck everyone

Thanks and take care

I'm reserving this spot for my entry. A necromancer and his apprentice for Frostgrave.

After getting a new force sword for my DA libby, I did some base coating and things are looking decent. Still lots of details to go!

Sorry, gotta pull out of this one! I ran out of primer.

Boo! It's too early yet for that excuse!

I'll be painting a Shadowseer for my new Harlequins!

With the head done, it's onto the robes

I'm in: Giving some love to this fantastic Julie Guthrie sculpt. I've owned it for some time, but now to get some paint on this girl.

I have no clue what to do with Tau, could I please have an idea? Only thing I'm thinking of is maybe Stealth Suits, because of cloaking techno-magic.

Ethereal? They're mysterious, with strange powers of control over the other Tau septs. I would say that qualifies.
