Ah the joys that paint shows all sins. At least it was just the primer and not further into the process.

Yeah, not the worst moment for me to notice. Now to have less sins and more saintly aspects!

**Warpig1815**

Assuming Covid doesn't stuff up my order's shipping, I'm in on this! I have no proof pics yet, but I've got plans - something to do with 'lords in white capes'...

**Gitsplitta**

@Horla: Happens that way. Also happens that you finish a model, put it up on the giant computer screen and suddenly see a ton of mistakes that were invisible to whatever level of magnification you were using while painting!

**JustALittleOrkish**

Hoping I will be able to complete these guys this month: Blood Bowl beastmen who will be devoted to Slaanesh.

**Viterbi**

I resisted the temptation and do not enter more Sisters of Battle, but will do one of these pairings (haven't decided yet):

Stormcast vs. Barbarian

And I love the other pairing even more, because it's good demon against bad monk: Hellboy vs. Rasputin

**Nevelon**

OP should be updated to this point. Looks like a fun lot of stuff, and the month is just starting!

**DJJazzyJeff**

My entry is on the way. Should be another week. Hope that gives me enough time.

**Argive**

Heyo

Its been a long time since I took part but now back to painting regularly so hopefuly one of many.

Doing Magun Ra as my next piece.

"Ten thousand years after the Eye of Terror swallowed Maugan Ra’s homeworld, that
nightmarish realm vomited the legions of Chaos into the material universe, leaving a
gaping lesion in space where realspace and the warp could coexist.Whilst the rift was
still open and the armies of that hell-plane were spewing forth, Maugan Ra took his
chance. He plunged into the unreality of the warp and searched its malignant
reaches for what was left of his lost people.

Over the course of many adventures, as told in the macabre Bás-Finscéali lays,
Maugan Ra eventually found the remains of his craftworld. TheAeldari of Altansar lived on still, after
a fashion. Maugan Ra guided what was left of his craftworld out of the Eye of Terror
and led them against the forces of Chaos to deny them their victory. However, at
the war councils that followed Altansar’s return, there was no welcome from the
other craftworlds’ Autarchs for their longlost kin.

Though the Phoenix Lord’s people certainly fought hard, they were secretive
and unsettling, and spoke only in whispers. Of the Asuryani of Altansar, the same
question continues to be asked, though never in Maugan Ra’s presence – how could
any living Aeldari remain untouched by the predations of the Eye of Terror for so
many millennia?
"

So is he a saint or did he commit some sins ? You decide

**E3DD**

I didn't leave myself enough time last month, hopefully this one's more productive. The saintliest thing I got, a Knight-Incantor. This model came with the getting started with AoS booklet, and it deserves some paint. I'm going to try out the Anvils of Heldenhammer scheme. Sorry for the bad lighting, I'm getting a lightbox soon.

**Chris56**

That Knight-Incantor is a fantastic model, E3DD - that pose just sells the narrative amazingly well. I really look forward to seeing the finished entry!
I have one of my own that I really need to get around to painting....but not this month.

This month, I am going to do a chaotic interpretation of Severin Steelheart's little warband...well at least one of them anyways...I'm really excited about the Splendid Angharad (Fury Road is one of my favourite movies), so at the very least, she'll get done. Any of the others will just be gravy...

**Yorkright**

Guess I’m first one to the dance. Here is the finished Callidus.
Thanks for looking.

**Jamie Shred**

Nice work yorkright, interesting choice of red highlights but it works really well.

**Horla**

I think the red highlights give her a touch of Daredevil.

**Argive**

DELETED - Images reuploaded

**Archer**

How are people finishing already! Need to get my act together and get at least a little progress done.....

And here are the fruits of my labours:

Spoiler:

Is wagwan-ra tainted by chaos or is he a saviour of the eldar race? Who knows...

Looks good but I think he needs to let the bonesingers have a look at that Maugetar for zeroing

What do you mean?

**Rybrook**

The shuriken catapult is looking a tad limp, is it a resin sculpt?

**Argive**

Nah hes a metal boy.
I think the previous owner dropped him.

I did my best to straighten it but I guess got used to seeing him him stopped noticing it. Will give it a go tomorrow and see if I can straighten it a bit more and uplode soem new pics. Thanks for pointing it out I stopped noticing lol.

**Pariah Press**

I love what you've done with Maugan Ra's base, Argive.

**JoshInJapan**

These two are essentially finished. I'm going to set them aside for a bit and come back to them with a fresh eye at the end of the month. I'm not entirely happy with the NMM on the succubus, but I'm not sure I can articulate exactly what is wrong with it. Hoepfully a little distance will help.

**Jadenim**

So I’m making some good progress this month, one model finished (not final photos though!):

Time for some hubris, so I’m going to try and add a couple more models to the entry:

Hello all! This will be my submission for the month.

This is very early concept, I still need to base the stairs and prime everything. I will prime the spider black and take an updated picture before I start working on the whole paint job.

These 2 are looking really cool, very interest to see these finished

Think I'll just be doing some Sisters of Silence.

League Table has need updated here

**Horla**

I got as far as painting on shoulder pad earlier in the month and felt like I was going to get nowhere with mine but last night was a good session. Lots of bone and leather, the leather needs a lot of work though.

**Freya**

Still very much a WIP got a base sculpted and have started on that. Feeling very inspired on this Valkyrie.

**Argive**

Ok so I have straightened out my gun barrel and re-uploaded

I present - Wagwan-Ra:
