I am defeated by life. Will be out of town for an unknown amount of time, so my entry will not be completed.

Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

Hey all, some GREAT stuff this month for sure.
I had great ambitions with my 5 model entries, unfortunately my Grandpa and then my father-in-law have both been diagnosed with some pretty serious illnesses and it's been a bit of a hectic month.
Wife's not doing too great so it just hasn't been a month for hobbying, I'm afraid. I did get my Predator built, primed and recess shaded, the redemptor dread is in 4 primed parts ready for a recess shade. Then the kaka kind of hit the fan.
Good luck to all, but life got in the way for me this month! October will hopefully be a better month.

BLAH BLAH....blah. |

Picture of finished Warlord Titan! He is so gigantic the magnets I used for the torso were almost impossible to pry apart! This thing is structurally sound too, Forgeworld did a great job, fast delivery and great quality cast. More pictures coming soon!

Storm Trooper with Maglight

Finished the Stormlord. The other 5 photos for my entry are contained within the spoiler. Funny how five photos just didn't feel like enough! If its okay with the competition host, I may re-take these photos and update before the deadline as I'm not sure I like the lighting seeing them now. In case I don't manage though, here they are.
This really is a terrific month of models - such an array of talent on show.

Final Pics of the Titan, this thing took 100 hours of freaking work this month. And less than half was painting, just cause it was big spaces and pretty easy to airbrush. Trim took forever! In some of the pictures there is the pilot of the Titan to get scale, but you can barely see him. He's actually in the picture above too. This was a very tough month and super fun for ARMOR UP! I wish you guys luck and so glad this community is great.

Well, I'm officially bowing out for this month. Just too much else going on in my life, both hobbywise and other. Looks like it should be fun voting since there's so much vehicular goodness in here (and some nice non-vehicles as well!). Hopefully I can do something for next month.

Warning From Magnus? Not Listening!

Well, I managed to finish at the absolute last second (I woke up at 6 this morning to take these photos...)
I didn't have time to crop them, but here they are: my first death Guard models.
Im really happy with the blightlauncher, although the images really don't show it off too well.
All-in all l, they were super fun to paint, and I'm looking forward to doing some more.

@Modock: As usual, I'll wrap things up some time tomorrow afternoon, so as long as your pics are up some time in the next 30 hours or so you're good to go.
@Everyone else: Wow. Holy smeg, I don't think I've seen this many awesome entries come in this fast in quite some time. I'd not checked in here in a few days, and scolling through that last page and this and seeing a Titan, a Baneblade, a whole squadron of Eldar tanks, a beautiful Predator, a squiggoth, a Skulhamma and all the rest, just wonderful. Top work, everyone!

Jealous that Horus is Warmaster

My Vultarax from Forgeworld Zhao Arkhad is done! Only got one picture for ya, didnt really see any point getting more angles, this one shows it all in my opinion. I am very pleased with it. Might put some transfers on it in the future, but no time for that now!
Automatically Appended Next Post: Woah, that picture is really big. Not sure how to fix it though.. hope it's no problem.

Heres my aspiring stormcast hero. Again the idea behind him is that he's just about to finish his training and has a quest to complete before his elevation to one of the Knight rolls i.e knight azyros, knight vexillor etc. By completing this quest he in a way ARMOURS UP therefore becoming a leader for the stormcast to rally around.
This is my first effort at non mettalic metal and wet blending in general. Hope you guys like it and that he can compete with the craziness of the tanks, titans and the rest.

Utilizing Careful Highlighting

Whelp, had to sub in for my tank, that wasn't really getting traction, but the sub is done, half-  , but done.
Proof:
And finished:
N1ceguyPaul: I like it, the blends came out well.
MidgetGems: Geeze, that was a fast turn around. Came out pretty good even with that too.
SirDonald: Nice clean colors, and lol at the math.

First Tau units for my army are done. Took me a while to decide what color scheme to choose. I wanted a military scheme but after half way they
looked kinda boring so I went full camo. These are a bit different than my usual vivid paint jobs.
Well good luck everybody... I need sleep now.......

The color is a bit rough around the edges due to a spray can fiasco.

Great job as always, Modock! They look really interesting, with such smooth, clean paint and really crisp edges on the camo patterns. A whole army to this standard is going to look incredible.
Un-freaking-believable, Metal_Man and SirDonlad - so much painting!!!
The space marine conversion worked really well, MidgetGems - like all the best conversions, it looks like it just came out of the box that way. I look forward to seeing more pics.
N1ceguypaul - Another great model, I think I might have to steal this idea, too.
Feltmonkey, those Incubi look fantastic!
One of the things I love about this challenge is the inspiration of how everyone comes up with different interpretations on the theme...great stuff.
