I started working on the Sanguinor model this afternoon... I find it really easy to work with but you have to do more work! Filling tiny air bubbles and scraping supports off is tedious.

As the dragons a rather simple sculpt to paint (it's just big) I've decided to do the challengers for the boss fight a stereotypical RPG group as well.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Made some good progress this weekend, almost finished the blue and nearly finished base coating the other colours. As always feedback is very much welcome and appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Excommunicatus. Yeah, those are claws from the Daemonettes or Seekers, can't remember which (it was made a long time ago now). Look forward to seeing your version in a future challenge

Current WIP. Tried to do a zenithal undercoat and I’m not sure if I like how it turned out on the skin. Still have a ways to go but definitely ahead of schedule.

Zenithal isn't really best for skin as you're unlikely to be shading skin wihh black. (unless it's grey skin or super high contrast.)

WIP on Calas. Almost there. Got his helmet to finish, a few touch ups and some work on his base to go.

That base looks awesome QAR, sets a really nice scene.

I made some good progress today and last night, just need to finish the pale skin and then neaten up and highlight.

Is that from a custom sheet? Don't recall that from the Forgeworld BA etch set.

Mate, you've probably got a much better chance of finishing than I do. I'm hopeless at gauging how long I'll need and then actually finding that time.

Guess I might as well try to get something going this month. Better late than never and all that. Here's my proof:

I figure it fits the theme because once you fight your way past the Repentia, you've got to fight the boss, the Repentia Superior, or "Whip Lady".

It is indeed from a custom sheet, one of those impulse buys on Ebay that you just have to buy and never see again. I missed out on the FW ones.

I was looking for the BA shoulder pads with the winged droplet, sort of like the retro transfers I'm sure it's the deathwatch pads but they get expensive when you buy loads so also noticed these etches and thought they looked like the 2nd ed BA icon

I reckon I'll only need about 92% of the vote to take top spot, so...

hashtag goals, or something.
