Ratman vs helbrute in a fight to the death.

**angelofvengeance**

Really like your Death Jester there RATS

.

Feltmonkey: I vote Helbrute

**TP^DC Deputy Manager**

Feltmonkey - +1 for the Hellbrute

Rollawaythestone - superb job on the Death Jester. Congrats!

**Januine**

Ratman!!!!

Rollaway - death jester is gorgeous. Great job!

**lliu**

I finished up my brood lord. Used too many shades from GW... The highlights all were toned down, as well as the OSL effect on his back... It will have to do, though, still working on Contemptor, and last Cataphractii. Gonna have a good diorama piece to go with it...

**Kustomer D**

From start to finish in a 6-7 hour session ...

Here is my first ever finished Space Wolve Terminator.

C&C welcome

Thank you! I try to learn from the best

**Red_Ink_Cat**

Space wolf looks great Kustomer D

+1 for the Hell brute feltmonkey

**EmberlordofFire8**

Im just worried that my diorama wont be bright enough. I forget that you cant spraypaint mdf and had to undercoat it by hand, so the black turned out much richer than the GW chaos black... Almost done, though.

**feltmonkey**

Is that Space Wolf shouting, "Come at me bro!" Kustomer?

Fantastic work, it looks amazing. Great paint job, and that is a base and a half!

Here's my proof picture(s). I still don't know which one to paint. It's 3-1 to the Hellbrute, but Jan put four exclamation marks on his Ratman vote, so that seems to carry more weight...

Hellbrute

or maybe Ratman.

Am I completely breaking the rules by not deciding yet?

**queen_annes_revenge**

Kitbashed chaos berserker

**Januine**

Ratman!!!!!!! (There's 7 for ye!!) such a great wee classic sculpt

**ZergSmasher**

@feltmonkey: Why not do them both? I'm sure you could come up with some comedy gold on how the little ratman is standing up to the big bad Helbrute...

**Januine**

Ratman holding up and delivering an ASBO to the Hellbrute

**feltmonkey**

What is this thread doing on page two? Here's a quick progress update to bump it.

and...

Spoiler:

Januine, that is such a brilliant idea, but I don't know if I have time to create any sort of scenic base for it, and it would be an odd diorama to have to explain to people who saw it in the future.

**Midget Gems**

Nice Work KD, looks very good especially for your first Space Wolf, the amour looks good and you have got the skin to look like skin. Hard to pick any points for C & C, from a personal point I like to bold highlight the ridges in joins in the amour to give it a bit of contrast so its not just a black mass which is something you might consider.

The berserker looks like an interesting combination of parts Queen Ann, looking forward to seeing it painted

Go Feltmonkey, I'm sure you can come up with a story as to why both of those models can be entered at the same time

**GiraffeX**

Heres my entry

A unit of Drēaguth Warriors from Darklands

**Januine**

Some good stuff coming in folks. I've barely even started mine!! Trying to get some other bits finished up first. Hopefully get a move on this week. Discovering that painting while streaming is a lot slower than when not. Still, fun is fun

**Elbows**

Finished today after waiting on some parts from eBay.

**Hive Fleet Lazarus**

First shot for my entry, a Toxicrene

**methebest**

So I'll be entering the wizard and maybe some warriors

Spoiler:

**Moolet**

nice entries so far,
I've not got too much done but below is my WIP. I've spend more time working on his base than the model and I've been busy painting up some models for my friends Imperial assault game. Still plenty of time though =)

**Red_Ink_Cat**

I know I'm a bit late, but I'll try to finish up one or more of this set of 5.

Proof:

I kind of got sidetracked by my stretch goal and finished him first.

I would have entered him, but he was already half painted from a few months ago. Btw, still messing with my camera settings. Did these ones come out less blurry in your guys' opinions? The camera seems to take better pics with the flash on for some reason. I dislike the shadow showing myself, so I am going to play with my lights to try to get it to be less drastic.

Spoiler:

**Snail22**

settling into new degree = prob out for the next couple months.
more on for the collecting sprues to fill a suitcase with lol.

new kharne would have been great for this month.
also, everyones seen for chaos on gw that bzkers are gone?
mmmerr

keep it going folks!

**SlaveToDorkness**

Methebest, can you spoiler the huge pic or reduce the size?

Sorry about that.

**Midget Gems**

Nice work on finishing your entry Elbows, a very menacing Grin.

Red Ink Cat. Flash can change the colour or make parts glare but those Pics of Death look pretty good, you can see all the detail. Keep experimenting until you find what you like, are you using a phone or proper Camera?

My entry is slowly coming together, as always, Bases done and some paint on the models now. Trying to go for a system of painting that can be rolled out across a unit/ several units rather than very slow individual painting I normally do.

**Red_Ink_Cat**

@Midget Gems

It is a full camera, but it is starting to get a bit old.

Now that I go back and look at it, that makes a lot of sense, especially since the flash appears to have turned the background paper yellow. I guess I may just have to add a new camera to the list of things to buy... darn it

**Elbows**

You can also try auto-adjusting the white levels using Photoshop/GIMP or other photo-editing software. I have to auto-adjust my whites on almost every picture I take.
