Proof.

Rogue Trader metal terminators.

Not sure how many I'll actually enter (obviously not all of them!). Might just end up being 1, might be more.

Hey guys. This will be my first ever entry here at dakka and seeing as Primarchs are starting to come back into fashion thought I'd have a go and throw another Vulkan into the pot. Sorry zobo. Hope to get this done as i have a bad habit of buying more than i paint. Cheers and heres proof.

Quick question, I just started working on a squad of marines last night. Can I provide them as proof if I only have 1 of the five seriously worked on?

Yeah, so long as that one isn't finished/mostly done then that's fine.

1 scout Sniper coming up. proof tonight.
not sure how my painting will stand up though

Well, here is what I'd like to submit for the month. Let me know if it's acceptable.

I've been working on my Xth legion, so I actually have something to enter in this one.... Medusean Immortals 1/2 of the unit. Pardon the poor quality of the proof image, my only camera is a 3DS

Righto, just woke up and got all the new entries added to the OP ...13 entries so far, nice work everyone

@n1ceguypaul - ohh! We havin' a Vulkan-off?? ...so uhh, do we start smack-talkin' eachother or something now? How does this work? ...nah, it's all good, good luck! - hope he can both pull it off!

Scout Sniper with a camo cloak.

entered, good luck!

Cheers Zobo hope i can get it done. Looking forward to yours aswell. Good luck.

Going to continue my trend of entering yet another non-GW model:

Bakunin Taskmasters SWAST Team
Range: Infinity
Maker: Corvus Belli

Lives in space: Check.
Power armor: Check.
Carries a big gun: Check
Marine:

Proof!


And a WIP. Poor lighting (it's done horrible things to the actually pretty smooth IRL tabard!) as he's glued to a stand while painting and thus doesn't fit in the light box properly, but you can hopefully see where this is going. Still lots to do, but since I had the camera out I thought I might as well get some progress pics. I'm dead pleased with the armour, especially the verdigris effect which was a total experiment.


I'm at a bit of a loss as to what direction to go with the cloak. Red is out as whenever I do red cloaks they end up really dull for some reason. I do a decent white/light grey, but that might leave the model too monochrome. The other ones I was considering were a deep purple or a goldy brown, but I'm not entirely sure how I'd go about pulling those off. Any thoughts?

@paradigm, what about a browny - parchment colour? then you could do a bit of script overtop maybe (like just on the bottom). It'd match his tabard. Assuming the watchmaster would have script, I am not 100% up on all the SM variations and such.

Well...

I may be in the middle of selling my house, packing my house, applying for visa, shipping everything I own to a different hemisphere, including my cats, have almost all my hobby supplies packed... all ready to leave the UK in only 18 days for a new life in NZ...

but!

I also took on a commission recently for a squad of Terminators, because insanity is good company. So. I shall be entering those

Photos of them built will come once they arrive.
And get built.

Maybe the voices in my heard arent that wise...

Same entry as last month, waiting on a lighter silver to come.

What colour is the power armour going to be? Is it staying that silvery color? Absent a different armor colour, I might try turquoise to call back to the verdigris, shaded with ruddy purple to tie in with your fleshtone.

I'm looking forward to the good old fashioned Vulcan-off.

I'm going to paint Ahriman from the Burning of Prospero box. Proof -

This is a project I have wanted to do for a while, so I hope it works out the way it looks in my head....
I've always liked Tyranid Hunters - I like the combination of squeaky-clean Ultramarines with the gritty damage of rending claws and Tyranid guts.

Below is the proof pic for the Brothers Karamazov!

Lots of cool entries, looking forward to seeing all these painted!

My own is pretty much done now, I went with a purple cloak and it ended up fitting the palette nicely. I might amend these pics down the line if I do make any changes, but for now, consider this my finished entry.


Any thoughts welcome!

First thought: wtf it's only the 2nd! How?

Good stuff, it looks great!

Probably shouldn't mention that the mini was only delivered at 3pm this afternoon, then! Definitely one of my faster jobs start-to-finish, but I did work on it solidly pretty much all afternoon so it's fairly average for me in terms of actual time under the brush.

God damn it Paradigm! You put us all to shame.

Perfect timing to kick off my new army. First unit ever - Wolf Guard Terminators.

Oh my...How the f... do you do it. SO damn fast. It's nuts. Looks insanely good, btw!

Here's my entry proof:

Sigh

=P

think I've got Vulkan's base pretty much done...I'll have to see how it looks when Vulkan's done, and standing on it, but for now, I'm happy enough with it...oh boy...now I have to actually start painting Vulkan...halp
...oh, the dead marines on the base are iron warriors, because my brother plays iron warriors

While I'd love to pledge the new Guiliman model, it's not going to be out for a good week yet. After barely finishing last month's entry in time, I don't think I can afford that extra time, so instead I'll paint him some friends: Invictarus Suzerain's.

@ZoBo- Thanks for running the challenge this month!

I've never collected space marines of any flavor, so I was a bit at a loss for what to do this time. But when I was rummaging through my To-Paint drawer, I found this guy


So this is my entry! A space wolf priest which, if I recall correctly, was a promo figure at a Games Day a long time ago.

@keezus- I am really excited to see the Taskmaster when it is finished! It is a great mini and fits the theme well. I was thinking of painting a nomad as well before I found the wolf priest.
