Hey DV8... stop making the rest of us look bad!

In all seriousness, great work, especially the kimono, I can't see anything topping that this month.

I've been fairly quiet, not really into posting WIPs, but my Warp Hunter is nearly done. Should have it up in the next few days.

To be fair, we haven't seen what queen_annes_revenge and Modock are throwing into the ring yet!

But yes, that is certainly an excellent piece, DV8!

That bust is very nice. I have a nice historical bust waiting in the wings for an appropriate theme. Looking forward to working on a larger scale. My entry is ready. Photos tomorrow when I can get some natural light.

Done. Genestealer cult mechanicus patriarch. Wasn't really motivated for this theme so I tried to turn that into a more free and easy painting style. Had a bit of fun wihh drybrushing on the metals and tried a freer, more rapid highlighting style.

Some phenomenal work from everybody this month! DV8 amazing work on the bust and I'm loving the Patriarch and the Exorcist above!

Unfortunately for me life has got in the way - moving house and graduation and faulty superglue means I've not even built my piece yet so looks like this month is out of the question :(

Having seen the other entries, I think it's for the best that my model broke.

This is very much out of my league.


Anyway, loving the mecha-tyrant, Queen_Annes_Revenge.

And DV8, that bust is stunning.

QAR, that looks great! Wasn't sure it was going to work when I saw the plain model, but you've really managed to make it look seamless. Love the stronger, bolder colours as well.

Great work all. QAR and DV8 In particular, but all progress 8s good progress.

I'm afraid due to work commitments I haven't been able to progress much so I will bow out of this months comp.

With more upcoming work and holidays I'll probably be back in September at this rate

Oh well at least this months proposed entries never got past the single colour stage so I might just tuck them away for a later month

It's just my normal red without my usual transition to pure black in the shadows. I use vallejo heavy red, then here I shades with carroburg crimson, then mix with a fleshtone to layer up to highlight. Vallejo elf flesh in this case. I didn't do as many layers as I normally would here either.

The Marine Standing Behind Marneus Calgar





Upstate, New York



So last month I did a pair of dreads, this month their mechanics.

I sing the songs of creation.
I recite the litanies of Mars
I speak with the spirts of my ancestors, who provide the will bringing life to my creations.
I commune with the machine spirits.
I patch them back up when those boneheads get themselves damaged
I know! Can’t they walk in a straight line without breaking themselves?
<brofist>

So had a bit of fun on this one. Pair of metal models, one legitimately vintage (was painted as a BA for many years) and one MTO fairly recently. A little reminder about the pros and cons of the material. Not really happy with the marine's axe, scratchbuilding is not my fotre. First time out with the contrast paints. Not over white, but the singer is blood angels red over blood red and khorne red. Minimal highlighting. Next time I’ll do a a layer of hilights under the glaze, and a lighter one on top. Quick and easy, and I like the results. Wraithbone and the tech’s face was darkoath flesh over zendi dust (however it’s spelled, beige) Little drybrush on top. Also quick test was the contrast was used to shade the rune hanging off the bottom of his robe, while the rest of the golds got the old chestnut ink. Subtle difference.

Would something like this be considered appropriate for this months theme? I have a more appropriate model, similar to the one DV8 painted, but there is no way I can paint it in time.

Fantastic DV8...

I am struggling to reach the finish line. Cutting corners, not happy with how it is turning out. Juggling two young children and work and my dis is leaving me with little time to paint and that time is sub par. Oh well. I suppose it will look good enough on the table top.
