I'm gonna give it a go at this really cool mini from Scibor. A lieutenant for the devine forces.



I wasn't happy with sword he came with so I made a lance. My first time scratch building a weapon, actually anything.
The blade of the lance is from an old library card and the rod is a mix of milliput and green stuff.
I'm a total rookie at sculpting and gotta say is damn hard doing something that looks decent...

Ooh, that's going to be awesome! Got a colour scheme in mind?

I want to try a full NMM gold, never done it before. Still deciding about the wings but I'm pretty sure they aren't gonna be white, something different so that
isn't just a classic archangel. I need to pick up the pace it's almost mid november.

Nice progress so far Captain Brown and Queen_Anne, I'm sure the model will look great (all your others do)

oh ullo! a wartrike dragrace! nice!

I'm going deathskulls...up until now, my orks have been kinda mixed-clan, though mostly goffs for da boyz, with some badmoons, evil sunz and deathskulls, and tiny bits of snakebites, blood axes and freebootas too (and a LOT of stuff I haven't painted yet )...but for quite a while now, I've found myself more and more wanting to paint some deathskulls...and it turns out I also kinda like the new deathskulls rules too, so that's given me a little extra nudge of motivation

Think I might be a bit behind on the race so far. Hes built (WIP pic below) and hes got a bit of paint on the bike now but not much else. I decided to keep a few parts separate to help with painting.

How did you find building the Trike Zobo? I had a bit of difficultly with the Warboss' left arm and getting it to fit in the hole, had to trim it a little. I'm going to go for Evil Sunz for the colour scheme, just makes sense to me for this model. I do enjoy my looting of things and the Deathskulls philosophies so good choice.

I don't remember having much trouble building it, that said, that part's all a bit of a blur to me now ...I will say though, I am slightly dreading the final assembly once it's all painted, supergluing the boss and the fuel-mixer grot into place, without messing anything up...they seem to fit in place very "just-so", without any real obvious keys...really hope I don't cover half the thing in glue or something!

I seem to have been a touch more reckless than you with my sub-assemblies, I only left off the two orks, the grot, and the back wheels...it's been manageable, but there have been times where I had wished I'd left off the guns and the big flaming skull plates on the front...I also glued the little bit with the gauge on the handlebars, though I had to trim off the little key bit on the part of the handlebar that's joined to the ork's hand.

mine's actually largely done...still needs a bunch of touch-ups, some small details, a bit of weathering, and I still need to figure out what I'm doing for the base, so, about 3/4 done?...I'll hopefully have it done over the next couple of days, but we'll see ...as usual though, I've been totally forgetting to take WiP pics...I usually just paint until I'm really tired, then stop, and go to bed, so getting my phone out and wrangling lighting and whatnot is the last thing on my mind

That trike is a bloody cool model - I look forward to the different interpretations on it!

This pirate seems to be a captain judging by the epaulettes, so I reckon she qualifies for 'Chain of Command'!
This is my first time trying a bust (forgive the pun) so we'll see how she turns out...

I'll have a go at this one. Here's my Plaguebearer command structure with a Herald.

I've not got a lot of time, so I'll have to try and speed paint them! It also looks like I missed some of the sprue tags when cleaning then up.

Hers is a WIP of the company captain, now to start on Sebastian

Yeah same Zobo, I had tried to place them on there just to see where they should fit, think I got it roughly right in the end but took a bit of wiggling and looking from different angles then adjusting, not what I want to do with glue on it.

I did think the guns and flame bits would make it a pain to paint the bits around them so thanks for confirming that wow your almost done looks like I am the turtle Evil sun in this race, cant wait to see yours finished. I have to remind myself to take photos, hard to manage my time with painting and other things hat need to be done, I thought 'd get a good hour or more on Sunday when the kids were out but after doing all my chores I got a whole 5 mins 50 sec (2 songs on an album) before they came back. oh well.

Cool Chris56, I can imagine that bust ( ) looking great already, a chance for some really good colours on it.

Good luck phillv85, those little nurglings always creep me out.

Keep going Rybrook, looking good so far.

Been on Dakka for a while, but have never entered any of the comps. Just finished my fist mini in a long while, so thought it would be a great time to give it a try. Here's my first finished chaos kill team member. Veteran and Zealot, now he just needs a suitable name.

WIP


FINISHED




I'll try to take some better pics if i get the chance.

Hey everybody! This will be my final monthly challenge entry for the year. I figured that I'd best go out with a bang Good luck to everybody, and thanks for all the inspirado! Here's to a great 2019













Best,
LDP

Beautiful rendition of the classic Tau scheme.

I'll probably throw my hat in the ring soon, just finalising my entry choice when some parts come in.

That is all. Good job LDP!

I've done my Plaguebearers Command Squad and Herald along with their naughty Nurgling bosses. All told, about 4 hours of painting.

I've decided to finally paint my second bust from Nuts Planet (sorry QueenAnnes, no Kharn for me). Needed a break from painting 28mm (or in the case of Titanicus, 6-8mm?) models and this has been sitting on my shelf for long enough.

Daenarys of the House Targaryen, the Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons.



Also, my goal for this challenge is to set up a proper photo booth and take good photos of my minis.

righto, finished my Warboss on Deffkilla Wartrike...I might try for some better pics later, but these'll do at least for now

Here's my entry. An Imperial Guard Leman Russ Command Tank. I want to incorporate a Kasrkin in some way but not sure yet. Waiting on bits to finish the commander.

Great Work Zobo, and congrats on finishing. I really like the subtle blue flames on the side panels and you dirtied the tyres

Well done phillv85, that was quick, you've got a good effect with the guts spilling out.

Looking forward to your work Oppl, I Think you have done you excellent tanks before so will be good to see

Progress continues...



The Spider's camouflage pattern included reversed Zebra stripes, which folks find weird when the light colour is the exterior colour and the dark is inside that (which from the photo you can see I need to add the black now).

Cheers,

CB

Quick progress shot:

Still some work to be done, but he's getting there. Logan Grimnar is nowhere near as far along though.

I changed my figure a bit so I'll have to get some new pics.

I’m afraid that time has beaten me; I’m not going to get chance to paint again before the end of the month and this is as far as I got:

Progress shot.

Here's my proof pic. Darth Vader and General Veers from a galaxy far far away.

Almost there with kharn. I actually have a tighter deadline as he needs to be ready in time for Saturdays Golden Demon.

All cool stuff so far!
No entry from me this month, too busy in private life..... :(

WIP shot, base coats and shading done. Went with these guys from the Gorechosen box in the end. Ideally would do all four but one already had some paint on - too much to be included? (only colour kept is the skin, red base colour and weapon blades changed)

If you're painting over most of that, it's fine to enter.

@queen_annes_revenge: Coming along really nicely! Best of luck at the Demon! If you have a minute to explain, what's your method for the face, it looks fantastic.

Good Luck at the golden demon Queen Anne.

Sry everyone I almost forgot to do this

Finally updated the league table here

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/732117.page#9481149

A good battle for the top 3 and also 4-5 and 6-7, well done everyone past the halfway point now.

Good progress Captain Brown I like how you have done the Zebra Strips.

Well done for getting it entered Jadenim, you did well to get it in in half a month.

Thats looking Crazy good DV8, Great eyes

Thanks! I love doing faces. My recipe here is 50/50 bugmans glow and vallejo elf flesh basecoat. I glazed purple under the cheek bones and around the eyes, followed by red around the ports of the butchers nails and the scars. After that I washed blue around the eyes, then took the highlights through the basecoat mix adding a little white each time, then glazed a white over the top dragging it to the highlighted areas.

Thanks! It's my first time entering. Hoping the fact I've not done NMM doesn't affect the results. Just not done enough of it to be competent on a competition piece.

Some great entries and WIP shots here, really need to get on with my entry! Personal life got in the way a bit and I'm debating adding another model to my entry, can I do that?
