Wow, loads of great works being finished for a normally quiet month.

Very impressive MobileSuitRandom.
That is going to be fantastic when she is finished maxwin.

Thank you for the nice comments Turaxa and JamesY from a few pages back.
Jamie Shred not quite finished yet. Instead of selecting just one I am going to group all my Eldar painting this month. Three heads are better than one. I cannot remember where I heard that...or maybe it was two heads.

So my next Phoenix Lord is finished.

My final piccies of Creed. I had a bit of a shiny varnish problem when a hot day turned thundery but it looks OK now.

I know, I need a camera, my phone isn't too good.

ETA, found a better camera, about twenty years older than my phone!

Behind every good villain sits a great enforcer. For Necrons, this can be more true than most, with that enforcer being the real power behind an increasingly addled and eccentric throne...







P.S. Hope it's OK to enter this month - turns out my camera ate the proof picture I took earlier in the month.

Sgt.Sunshine, nice looking colour scheme!

JoshInJapan, great models and I like that lantern!

Captain Brown, your speed and efficiency to get some great models painted is awesome!

ZenBadger, Creed is looking great!

QAR, great work on the apostle, really like how you've gone down the NMM route.

SmallChanges, really like that dark metal and regal purple combo

Great stuff already done and on the way. And good luck with the sculpting Freya!

Realized that there is not much month left and finally started on my Inquisitor Greyfax. Did a little bit last evening and another small session today.

Going to call it done for this month. Looks better with the 5ft rule as opposed to on camera but I'm still really pleased with how he turned out.

Running out of month people! Time to get those brushes moving.

Finished with the Seer, Librarian still needs a bit of work. (and other background non-competition projects need to get done by the end of the month)

OP should be updated to this point.

Making steady progress here but going to need to get a rush on to have time for everything i have planned. Face nearly done and red nearly done, everything else needs highlights and i still need to base the captains sword.

As always feedback is very much welcome and appreciated.

Man I'm having trouble finishing this month. Erebus is probably about 90% finished but I keep procrastinating on him and painting world eaters instead... Know where my loyalties lie.

Having similar issues; I got Ahriman about 60% done in the first two days. It’s taken the rest of the month to get him to about 80% and looks like I’ll be scraping under the wire at the weekend (again!)

Also, @Freya, that face really reminds me of somebody (an actress), but I can’t think who.

I'm intrigued. I'll see if anyone i know finds a similarity. Maybe it's based on someone for the original model?

@Freya: That's hell of a sculpting work, especially for something that's "out of your comfort zone"

@Maxwin: The face is looking really great!

@Tyranid Horde: Glad to see you take part once again mate! Looking good so far.

@qar: The freehand is top notch! And the NMM fits the model perfectly.


A bit late to the party, but I'll hop in at the last minute.
Started working on these about a week ago, but did not get around posting the proof pic as I've been quite busy.
Plus I was not sure if I could make it, so did not want to take part with unfinished models.

Here's the proof pic.
Gang leaders for my Helot Cultist gang and for my girlfriend's Escher gang.
Masterminds in their own right, using their limited resources and deceptive tactics to steal the territories from one another.


Here's a WIP pic from last weekend. It's really really poor quick shot, but that'll have to do for now.



I will realistically be able to finish the Escher leader, but hopefully get some paint on the Chaos leader as well.

Awesome work, everybody!

Here's my proof pic - Mollog, the "mastermind" behind Mollog's Mob, a group of cave squigs and barely-sentient mushrooms. I like the idea of the mastermind actually being a rather dumb troll. But compared to the mushrooms, he's super-smart.



I took that about a week ago, and have started painting him inbetween wrangling my bored kid, outbreaks of frenetic housework, bouts of existential dread, and periods of blankly playing World of Warcraft. Here's a very blurry WIP pic of where I am so far.



The skin is getting there, although it looks pretty crappy in that pic, annoyingly. The pink and blue mushrooms are finished. Everything else is barely started. Loads still to do.

Cheers Ezki! Might actually be able to make the deadline for once!

Some great work popping up since I last checked in. DrGiggles, that Hive Tyrant is awesome!

I'm almost finished, I have friends round this weekend so have this evening and tomorrow to round things out and take photos, but here's the WIP for the captain:
