Only technically, given the paint scheme and parody target, but hey, technically correct is best correct.
Edit: I was going to do up my irmadinhos, figuring future space river smugglers probably count, but just wasn't grabbing me.

The Reaper mouseling line is sweet. Nobody carries the line in my neck of the woods, so its interwebs or special order only.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to admit defeat this month; the honour guard aren't even uniformly blue yet. There have been some amazing entries though!

Any idea what next month's theme will be?

Hey guys finally finished Vulkan but not happy with my set up for photos as this is the first time taking pictures of miniatures.
Hope they are ok and look forward to the rest of the entries. Congrats to all those who get this months entry finished and lets start thinking about the next one.

It says GMT, but what that translates to is 'whenever I get around to compiling the vote thread the next day'. That's usually around mid-afternoon UK time, so you've got a fair bit longer. And I can hold off a couple of hours if I know I'm waiting on an entry.

Hey guys soory I've not ben active on the thread the last 2 weeks, Its all been a bit busy in RL at the moment.

Thought I would post a quick WIP to let you know I'm still alive and the entry is still progressing. Getting the heads in the holes was a right pain in the ass but worth it I think for a different take on the Cataphractii Terminators.

@Vejut: Does your mouseling have a name? If not, I'd like to suggest Rodent Gruyeremann, Primarch of the Ultramousines.

Then comes along the frakking Spinosaurus who kills the T-rex, and the movie says "LOVE THIS NOW! HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

Well, I'm gonna have to bow out at the 11th hour (literally it seems) - life and circumstances seemed to conspire against me this month. That said, I take great consolation in seeing the (yet again) fantastic entries this month. Rest assured that I'll most certainly be casting my vote even if I didn't complete my entries. Here's hoping I get around to completing an entry for next month

Thanks Elbows, yeah in my mind the Blood Angles have a lot of blonds not sure where thats come from. Could be all the pictures of Sanguinius being blond. It gave me an excuse to try it out anyway, not many blond Orks

Nice to see you back and still kicking ass Bottle, the kill team guys look fantastic as always

Really nice work felt and Modock (great base)

EmberlordofFire8 don't worry there are some amazing painters who enter, I try to see what they have done and incorporate 1 new thing each month into my entry. Some better photos would definitely help us see your work in the future.

Well looks like over 10 people will be getting a vote this month,so many different takes on what people think space marines should look like it's just damn impressive.
Honestly I never even thought i would get this month finished so i'am happy with that alone,also learned new things,and got my first squad half of ultras painted up which look well cool in my eyes anyways,bring on next month.

Just got mine finished up, barely! Not perfect, but at least I can call him done for now.

Here's the first space marine I've painted in many years, using my good friends's chapter colors.

Some excellent work this month! I'm not much of a marine guy, but some of the primarchs and deathwatch look awesome! That mouse guy is pretty cute too, haha.

Sorry its late. had to pull down a fence yesterday.
anyhow



doesn't even hold a candle to some other ones but you have to finish what you start and its a nice break from tau.
also the photos go from bad to worse but you can at least see what I was going for
