Wish I could be back in time for this one, I had a few models that needed painting that would match. Good luck to all those that enter! I will be back soon to add in my mediocrity!

Here is my entry, its my first time to join so I am excited

This is Alura: Deamon prince of slaanesh, She (i assume) will get a different spear tip made from a large scything talon.

For a moment there, I thought you had an Ultramarine tablecloth Verviedi!

Nice looking model by the way

Welcome to the comp. Good luck. Looking forward to seeing how she looks painted up

Edited my post to have some background info and a slight name change as the Torquemada Coteaz model will be representing a custom special character for my Loyalist Thousand sons sect, the Sons of Opet, who will be played as counts as grey knights.

I will enter by painting this Grey Knight Paladin. I've gotten a ton more comfortable with painting GK so this hero of the chapter will be a ton of fun to paint.

Edit: Forgot to give him a name! Introducing Paladin Augustus Zadkiel. He will be painted start to finish. I anticipate I'll have to add on to this pledge, since I can usually finish​ one of them in 4-5 hours.

Thanks, guys!

And Jadenim, I do love Ultramarines, but not enough to play them or really invest at all. I do, however, paint them whenever I can.

Wow. Feeling super good right now. Got him finished already! That may be the fastest I've ever painted a legendary character to an acceptable standard for myself! Going to have him photographed by my guy before I consider him officially "finished" but I can't help myself from giving all of you a little prievew of him! Consider these "progress pics" and most certainly not my "finished entry", as now looking at these photos I definitely have a couple little spots to touch up on and may take the cape highlights up another notch as they don't seem to appear as prominent in photos as they do in person.
Hope you all are making good progress!

Here's my proof pic. Not all Legendary characters and creatures are good. Some legends are creatures of pure nightmare. The Nazgul from Lord of the Rings, for example. Especially when they're riding a Fell Beast.

Looking forward to seeing the feltmonkey, especially after the cracking job on the dragon last month.

As far as my entry goes got all base colours done but really not feeling this guy. Gonna get him finished asap though as not got the drive for him should have picked a more thematic entry and something that i really want to paint. Oh well hindsights a b#$#h.

N1ceguypaul: I had that last month. All I can say is I sympathize, and if you've got another option thats got you enthused and can at least vaguely fit, switch out.

that model's a bit like that isn't it?...I kinda loved the idea of it when I first saw it...but I still haven't touched mine past assembly (which was a right pain I might add!...bloody finecast )...I just can't really get into the mood to start painting him

still plenty of time to enter something else if you'd rather?...I've switched entries halfway through the month before, no worries

hmm...are your salamanders for 40k or 30k?...if 30k, do you have a chaplain and a spare thunder hammer lying around?...you could whip up a quick Nomus Rhy'tan conversion?

I will do this "legendary" tag Iguana from Nomads. I hope I'll finish it till the end of the month.

Bobby G is a really detailed model with a lot of gold trim, the bane of my painting existence.

I feel you, pray you never have to paint the new rubricae. The amount of gold trim on them is ridiculous.

Well, now thats sorted, here is my entry:



Tolbek of the XVth Legion, adept of the Pyrae cult. The model represents him shortly after the Burning of Prospero, and he has exchanged his (presumably damaged) armour he used during the battle with a more decorative suit. Perhaps from a Thousands Sons champion who didn't survive the burning?

Well...I tried painting Fuegan (for the third fething time) and he still looks like ass. So unless this dip magically transforms him, I'm probably not going to enter this month (unless I paint something else worthy of the Legendary tag...).

Seriously. feth Fuegan.

I just ham-fisted my way through it, and I'm going to leave it now...I'll just move onto something else.

----Proof photo link missing/broken.





Doneso.

Finished!

I'm hoping my pics are a little better this time. I'm back to a proper (if basic) camera, rather than a phone, so I've adjusted the ISO and white balance and I think it looks better than last month's bikes.

Sergeant Grymm - who lost 3 limbs and ruined his lungs in a fight with some 'Nids (the full fluff is with my proof pic).

I'll be entering not-quite-shadowsun, as its the only unpainted leader I have at present.

Figured I would put this in for this month

Here is the finished product

Impressive work!

Lots of cool looking stuff this month.

A little WIP on mine. First layer of black down on one leg. Lots of fiddly nooks and cranies to get a brush into. This guy is a bear to paint. Hopefully get a lot done this weekend.

Almost done, just need a bit of basing.

Hello,

My deamon prince got his first colors on to see if the painting scheme works well and personally it does.

cheers.

Not going to have much time for painting this month, so just one model this time: my rendition of Nathaniel Garro.

Proof:

Just handed my entry off to my photographer! Can't wait to see the awesome shots he'll get of him!!!

So I've got a bit of an issue. Somehow my almost 2 year old twins have managed to get into my painting desk and ransack a couple of models. One of which is my entry for this month. I am at a loss of where the Legendary White Dwarf is, but i do still have some bits namely the base and his tankard. How do I stand with re-entering with another character. Hopefully I can otherwise thats me out of this month. If i can there is a picture below of proof for my new entry as well as wonderful non pics of the white dwarf. Cheers

They stole your Grombrindal? That's terrible, but kind of hilarious. Yesterday, upon arriving home after a day driving round to the swimming pool and such like, my kid reached down under his bum into his car seat and pulled out an eldar guardian. "I was wondering where that was!" He said. He definitely hadn't had it when we set off.

You can change what you're painting as long as you just submit a new proof. People do it all the time here, it's fine.

No problem, switching entries is fine!

Totally forgot to post my own here for the last week! Bjorn the Fell-Handed, Trueclaw, Legend of the Space Wolves:
Proof


And done. Though would anyone mind if I entered Njal Stormcaller alongside him? I painted him after Bjorn and only realised after I'd started that I could have submitted the two together for double awesomeness, so I forgot to do a Proof for him.



If no one objects then I'll redo the pic with Njal included, if anyone has a problem with it then I'll just stick to Bjorn.

Ok cheers for the feedback my proof pic is in the above post so hopefully Paradigm can sort that out for me. Cheers once again and i better get some painting done quick.

I certainly don't object. I'd look forward to seeing it.

I object. No proof, no entry! Lol JK Para, I'm sure everyone's fine with it. Bring on the Stormcaller!
