Hangover or dieting. Probably both.

Good progress guys,

I think "not as clumsy or random" will be on the topic thread Para normally posts them soon but it is the holidays so he could be busy.

Apologies for the lack of a subject poll/winners announcement for last month, I've been fighting a really nasty bout of flu since before Christmas. Just about coming out the other side of it now, so I'll get back on top of things soon.

Rather than set up a new poll today and thus leave people with only a couple of day's notice for the Jan theme, I'm thinking we'd be better off just carrying forward the runner up theme from last time, 'Not as clumsy or random', if no one has a problem with that? Just gives people a little more of a heads up before the round begins?

Not as clumsy or random...... That's the one looking for models with precise weapons like swords and sniper rifles right? All good with me anyway but will start thinking about what to do.

...and I just finished the model I was hoping to use for that. Still works, just gotta find another option.

Not as clumsy or random, eh? Not sure what I've got for that. Might be just the excuse I need to get back to painting Blackstone Fortress stuff, as Amalyn Shadowguide carries a nifty sniper rifle. Pity I've already mostly painted all of my Dark Angels Eliminators for an event in November, or I'd do those. I'll figure something out.

Oh, and I hope you feel better soon, Para. Sorry if I sometimes nag about the poll threads/subject threads, sometimes I kind of get ants in my pants about stuff for no reason.

No worries, Zergsmasher. Without the occasional prod it would definitely have slipped my mind and I know people do appreciate a bit of time to plan entries. With that in mind, the full text of the theme description:

"Not As Clumsy or Random: The lightsaber. The sniper rifle. The duellist's blade. The knife in the back. Your entry should feature a model toting weaponry that requires a great deal of precision and skill to use well, rather than that which relies on brute force or crude methods."


Thanks for the well wishes, folks!

Here are my finished pics of Jain Zar.













This one was a bit of a labour of love. This new Jain Zar model is my favorite model released in 2019, and one of my favorite ever from GW.

That's cracking! One of your best!

Just as a heads up, as everyone is probably super busy at the moment (and I'm still not feeling 100%) I'm going to let this round run a couple of days longer than usual so as many people as possible can get their entries in.

Thanks for that Para! I'm travelling back to Scotland right now and I doubt my girlfriend will let me prioritise transfers and photos over her after 2 weeks apart Great to have an extra few days, very much appreciated!

Here's my finished pics of the Carnevale gifted (technically the black lamp isn't a gifted but it feels like the best description for the bunch). I have also had the Christmas flu so not my finest work but I am pretty happy with the mask maker and artist.

Looking forward to seeing all the finished entries this month, I think it's going to be another difficult choice for votes.

Wow, some great work as always!
Those carnevale guys look really cool, Jamie - great job.
Felt - awesome paintjob on an awesome model!

My model this month was an experiment in lighting. I had this idea for an Idoneth Soulrender deep underwater so that the colours were all muted and monochromatic, lit mainly by the lurelight on his helmet.
So...that is what I have tried to create here. I think it works a little better in real life as all the grey-blue colours flatten out and run together a bit too much in the photo.
Anyhow, here he is - I enjoyed painting him.









Hope you like him and see you all next month!

That's fantastic, evocative and freaky as hell. Thought it was a Kingdom Death or Dark Souls mini from the first impression, only realised it was Idoneth on a second take.
