I'm going to attempt to get in on this month!
I present my proof of "The ascended plaguebearer" a nurgle Daemon prince with an oversized jump pack that I presume makes a really loud sonic "BOOM!" When he takes off!



A couple more angles to get a better idea of his pack and contribution to this month's theme!







Don't know if I'll be able to get him done this month but I'm about to go prime him up and at least attempt it.

Hi all

Amazing that some people have finished already, great effort.

I felt like going back to the movies for this entry and doing a pop culture reference. Heres my entry

One of the final scenes from Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (the scene when the guy (Maj Kong) fixes the bomb release doors/mechanism and the nuke then falls to the ground with him riding it. Nukes definitely go boom!

Aiming for this, but with Orks

Probably sit this one out. Nothing I can think of which is really..."BOOM" qualified for this month. The closest I'll come is an old kit-bashed Predator, but that's not very boomy.

Not Boomy?! It's a tank! It makes littler stuff go BOOM!

Well, that's my reasoning anyway lol

As for me, I've got this for BOOM (Proof):



Is gonna be a set of Tankbustas (using the lootas bits to convert some boys n such)

@Yorkright - looks great...nice work man, and damn fast too!

@Drummernathan - ooh that's looking like a pretty cool flying nurgle daemon prince...looking forward to seeing that done

@Guildenstern - yay orks!...looking forward to seeing what those tankbustas are going to look like

@Elbows...how is a orky predator not going to qualify for "BOOM!"??...it's literally what it does! go for it! (if you feel like it of course!)

@Midget Gems - haha...oh man, that's gonna be great!

Actually is EPIC scale stuff ok to do?

(kidding!)

might as well throw away all your brushes I think Midget Gems' got this one tbh

I did a lot of the conversion for my guys this weekend - I really would like more rockets tbh but I don't have too many more sadly. They're all pretty loosely held together atm by blue tack as I hate trying to paint under arms.

My entry below is an old metal loota, he was a pain to strip with a paintjob I did on him when I was about 12... trust me, he looks better with no paint.


you may notice some tankbustas in the background too... I started them just before 'Boom' was suggested as a theme... darn...

It's now 1/3rd of the way through the month and all I have managed to do is greenstuff the gaps and change a few weapons.

Kinda hoping that all the 3rd party bits will scrape me a few extra votes at the end of the month. No idea how i'm going to paint the scopes.
