Finished the other side. Got two more minor freehands to do, and then I have to do all the metal and finaly OSL.

Very medievalist visions of deamons and hellish nightmare. Is good. Meanwhile thanks to school restarting I can't find the time to get any painting done.

our school's been disrupted by the stormy remains of Hurricane Irma but everyone's ok in our area, just some property damage limbs down etc Power out in a few places, we luckily didn't loose power or have to leave the house to safer area.

Anyway progress on my guy (he's still single and likely to be for a while):




This is his basecoat done, some highlights and washes
I'm in the middle of pin washing and edgehighlighting him atm.

Loads of good stuff in here this month! I've not entered in a long while, but since I'm starting on a tank... Sign me up please!

My first non-Infinity entry- a Chimera for my Tallarn Desert Raiders. Proof pic:


Here's hoping I get it done in time!

Count me in this month too. I still need more sluggas for my freebooterz mob, so I'm going to try my hand at scale armor:



I decided at the last minute to make the pose a bit more dynamic. This is the actual proof pic:

Making progress. Finished the converting and now it's on to paint! Gonna be a doozy to paint but oh well, this wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't!

More WIP pics!

Calling this guy done as I have to get ready to travel and no more time.

he'll look more properly orky when I get his mates done and do all their bases and weathering but his painting is entirely done.

apologizing in advance for my crappy pictures.

Pix:

It took me a while to think up something that fit the theme but I also wanted for my army. I'm going for a death company dread.

Battletech Tanks Finished.

To people who think that my paint schemes are too dark,i'am going for a mercenary & terrorist theme with them,
Only using drab flat colors with a military feel,no fancy paintjobs from me,to see more battletech go check out my lab/blog.

Mymidon Medium Tank.


Rommel Heavy tank.

Again another couple of interesting models, u971.

That Nurgly tank looks awesome, Drummernathan - I love your greenstuff work and can't wait to see it painted.

My own Eldar armour is coming along faster than I thought so I'm going to throw in another raider and venom to match the other raider and falcon.

I'm now rushing to get these two finished in time to greet the 'Iustus Indignatio'...

All of a sudden the Terminator I plan to enter seems more than a little... well, little! He shall have to compensate with a suitably big sword or something...

Clearly he should have 2 shields with the shields having mini shields to fit the theme.

Done. What do people think of the muzzle burn on the flamers?

Wife named the Squiggoth "Roger". Guess I will name my stompa "Stan?"

Did I just see...Squig turds?

Month’s half over and I’ve started to basecoat.



I need to spend more time painting. But I’m still in this.

Ugh, painting vehicles is no fun to me. Escpecislly with a deadline AND with all the conversion work I put into this one. Just gonna keep on truckin and hope I get done in time.

You did not use the resin center top plates, did you not like them?

Painted on two more minor freehands, the first is a strange dragon thing, and the second one is my family heraldry. Painted the barrels at the back of the model, I added a bit of texture to it and used a not so smooth transition for the shading to add to the imperfect feel the medieval art adds to the model. I hope it works. I will go back to the barrels to work on the gold a little more and add a few scratches. Painted a lot of metal too, but at this stage it's nothing interesting. Once I paint the whole thing I will add a glossy finish to it and then paint the cannon and add all the OSL effects.

Nah man, i really don't like them - or the heads.

So many fantastic tanks here! Wow! I'm not done with mine yet, but I've got some base coating done.

Ok, so let's try this again... Didn't get finished last month, and I have even more stuff going on this month, so I should totally try to finish something bigger...

bah, count me out for this month, probably next month too actually, unless the theme happens to line up luckily...too busy cranking out a commission job to fit in time to work on my battlewagon unfortunately.
- damn shame too, as it's gone from a standard-build with an evil sunz paint scheme, as I initially said with my proof pic...to a kitbashed "supa-kannon" battlewagon, using a baneblade turret and side sponsons...and will probably get a blood axes paint scheme ...ah well, so I'm not painting it this month, but it'll still be sitting there on the bench, ready for a fitting theme in some later month

Hi all just catching up with everything over the weekend (really the only time I get a chance to post)

Nice to see you back Arclaw good luck with the tank

Good work on you Kromlech Ork Guildenstern, I've bought their heads before and have been wondering about getting those guys.

A neat paintjob on some very small models there u971.

You have done very well with your freehand work Power Elephant, impressive stuff.

Shame you can't join us Zobo, always look forward to your entries, now your just teasing us with a cool sounding entry in the future Cool you are getting commission work

WIP from me I'm prep'ed and basecoated . Also can I have your opinions on which head suits the model? The one that came with the model is very small and I was hoping to use this guy as a SM chapter master proxy



Centurion Head - Its slightly bigger than a normal head and has a mean look.


Sternguard veterans head - The leaf trim matches the other trim around the armour on the model.

If you plan on using him as a chapter master, go with the sternguard head. The Centurion one looks cool, but a CM needs more bling on his head.

Great to see progress on everyone's piece!

I'm currently adding battle damage and weathering to the Cult Leman Russ

Weathering properly done, great stuff Bottle.

Finishing touches for the Stormlord. Bit of a preview just now. I know Cadian 8th is a boring scheme to many but I love it!

I'll have proper pics soon when its totally done. This little event has really helped boost my productivity to just get things done.

It's looking fantastic!

Thanks for the advice Nev, a very good point, well presented.

Weathering looks pretty dam good Bottle, I like that you have gone to the effort to edge highlight the scratches

I like that scheme as well Oppl, Its what I think of when I picture an IG tank. Can I suggest you do a bit of weathering on the Aquilas, they are very white and flat while the rest of the tank has some weathering on so they stand out and draw your eye. I like the mud in the tracks.
