Nice work everyone, really like that Krieg Paradigm, looks like he stepped out of a graphic novel (and that's a novel I want to read!)

Also slipping in at just past the 11th hour, I managed to finish five of the Tallarn troopers:

It's amazing the effect you can get with enough different browns!

Is it okay if I post photos tomorrow also? Painting is just about done, but photos aren't going to get done tonight. I can't promise first thing as I have to work around a crazy seven year old. I'll get on it tomorrow and keep you up to date if that is okay?

Please don't go without me!


Gotcha.


Thanks, mate.

I'll get it done as early as possible so you're not waiting around.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

Given we've had a fair few extension requests, I think we'll just say that any time tomorrow is good, and call it officially to a close on Sunday.

New round will go up tomorrow as usual, but might be a bit later due to time zone differences, so dob't panic if it's not there first thing.

@Freya, yeah these bases look great as far as I can imagine them behind the blur ... what are the larger crystals, tho? I've been looking for something like this but haven't found anything yet.

(Gradients also turned out super nice!!)


Crystals are from greenstuff world and I used glitter flakes under a 'ardcoat layer. As to the blur, I'm working on getting an actual camera lol. They look so much better in person that it's actually upsetting.

Hi guys, hope everyone is still well out there and staying safe.

I've managed to just about paint a few models, went for some Ork Stormboyz heres the WIP and almost finished shot, will get a final pic up tomorrow after bedtime, I need some sleep now

Melbourne, Australia

So much great work from so many!

I love those gradients, Freya - I am definitely going to steal that idea some time in the future.

And Modock! Come on, man....give the rest of us a break, huh? That piece is awesome...the graffiti and 3d-printed additions are crazy...it seriously looks like box art material - take that, Angel Giraldez!

I did manage to get finished this month (though half the warband is only blocked in), so here are my Cyper dudes. I love these sculpts so much that I ordered two more boxes of them to try in different colour schemes - something I don't think I have ever done before given the mountain of grey shame I already have in the shed...

Anyhow, here they are...see everyone next month!






Good luck everyone and thanks to Para, MG and Nev for all of their usual hard work!

Well, that was stressful. Had to paint a new model almost from scratch in one day because of my earlier mistake. Didn't get anywhere near doing the terrain piece, and there's loads of stuff I still intend to do on the models in the photos, but this will have to do for now. Multi-craftworld kill team. Craftworlds from the left are: Saim Hann, Stel-Uit, Altansar, Iybraesil and Arach-Qin. All the models have had some conversion, even the saim hann one, although that was just filing off the Ulthwe eye symbol from the helmet. The Altansar one, I actually drilled out the side of the head and modelled the shattered face plate and face underneath. Hope it comes across okay...

Aaaand now I can collapse.

Really like the new sisters plastics! Went a bit overboard with the blanchitsu on the coats but hey.

@Freya - thanks, I'll see if these are available anywhere here in Germany. Very fun effect with the different glittery stuff on the bases!

Okay, sorry about the delay. Here are the final photos of my Assault Intercessors.













These sculpts are fantastic, really dramatic and cinematic, and they would probably be a lot of fun to paint if you aren't battling a deadline and up until 3am finishing them like I was. I like how, in the photos, it looks like they're running back and forth in all directions.
