Finished - Eldar Shining Spear.

Looks fantastic Cap!

Not looking like I’m going to get near mine thanks to insane shifts at work. My Judiciar is standing there, silently judging me.

To be fair, that is kind of what he does professionally.

If an extra day would make a difference, we can extend things a little. Let me know.

Really neat whites there Captain!

Finished mine.
For once I managed to do it with quite a bit of time left on the clock.

Escher gangers finished:


Highlighting the black with different techniques made the pants look a bit too blue.
I really need to invest in better lighting.

Other than that, I'm fairly happy how they turned out!

A bit late to the posting party, but I am in on this! Originally I was going to try to strip and redo some old clerics I have, but, they need more time in the bath...

Instead I'm going with the Games Workshop free store model for November - a Sister of Slaughter (because I didn't get the Witch Aelf head...). Is she a Saint (Grand Alliance Order, heroine paint job) or Sinner (psychotic warrior considered extreme even by other Daughters of Khaine) - I'll let you decide.

Proof picture and work in progress (just needs grass on base):


Catchya and good luck everyone,
Arakasi

Those gangers look awesome, Ezki!
I love your purple/blue colour scheme and I reckon the blue highlighting looks a lot like denim - I'd be really happy with it!

Nice SoS, Arakasi and I love that Shining Spear, Captain - great work all round.

Love the banners and the clean while on that shining spear.
Those gals are pure ’80’s; I love em!

Looks to be another great month, and we are not done yet.

Quick WIP while I wait for layers to dry before the next wash. Still two more washes to go, plus a bit of cleanup. Going to be tight.

Looking awesome Ezki and some good progress Arakasi and Nev!

Will hopefully be getting my Judiciar to a reasonable quality today and tomorrow, currently deciding on what colour the sword should be:

Cutting it fine this month. Kal is based and ready to go

FInal pics:

I always love your minis, Vejut...you seem to have an endless collection of really cool sculpts that I have never seen before! Great work, I love them.

These three were the most fun I've had painting for quite a while. I really enjoyed painting them and now I want to do a trio of Nurgle sequitors as well.
Each character evolved as the project went on, which I think kept it interesting for me. I ran out of time to really smooth the blends out but I am happy with the overall NMM and crystalline effects. My camera is still over-exposing the pics but I can't seem to fix it!











Finished!
Good luck everyone and see you next month!

Thanks Chris56, Nev and Tyranid Horde!

Man that crystalline effect is awesome!

I'm a little embarrassed after all these amazing entries popping up. But I have only a little quick and dirty paintjob, because I didn't feel like painting the minis I had planned at the beginning of the month. But as I also don't want to break my streak of entering every month I give you:

Samwise the Brave. Not as adventurous as Merry & Pippin, not going because of the burden like Frodo, he just does it out of friendship and loyalty. He is even able to voluntarily give back the One Ring. If that doesn't say Saint, I don't know what does

Well here is the Cult of Redemption.
House Cawdor (not the best pictures, the weather is not very nice today)

Final: Sister of Slaughter


Good luck everyone.

Catchya,
Arakasi

Here's my finished priest

Some great entries this month!
Here is the C'tan Shard of the Void Dragon, probably the most fun I've had painting a model to date

Hi All

Another lock down almost over, yay

Realized I hadn't posted a proof photo yet (and didnt actually take one before some paint was on the models)

Hope this is ok its only got the Red and Black base coats. The final pics will be up tonight.

Here are my Vatican gang in all their glory! Saints to some but sinners to most in the world of Carnevale.

As always feedback is most welcome and appreciated.

Now to pick something for next month.

@Jamie Shred really like how the colour scheme ties them together!

And so much other cool stuff this month, Chris56's Slaanesh sequitors are amazing!

Still have to take proper pics of my entry, I fear I won't get these done tonight ... feeling a bit under the weather & have to get up early tomorrow to prepare my course at uni, but if I'm quick it still would be still quite in the morning across the Atlantic - if this would be okay?
Anyway, I threw in a Rogue Psyker from WHQ at the last moment because assembling the Penitent Engine just wasn't penance enough :p
(proof spoiled below, obviously taken with GWs patented Potato Camera)

A late entry from me, just to keep the streak going. My initial plan to 3d print and paint some Sisters of Battle didn't quite get done to a standard I was happy with, so instead I'm falling back on some minis panted earlier this month, a set of Witch Hunters from Titan Forge... well technically the minis are Vampire hunters, hence the stakes ect, but Sigmar tells me they work just as well on of unrepentant sinners of all stripes...




Definitely a style over skill entry, my ongoing eye troubles are still getting in the way of any real neatness so I'm just trying to inject as much mood/atmosphere as I can to compensate, so the collection as a whole looks decent and thematic at a glance. Going to try a much larger model next month, see if that makes any difference.

Managed to get this guy finished this month. Proof and Final pics in one post, hope that's ok.

Lots of very cool, thematic entries I'm seeing! I love it! Going to be a really hard one to vote for this month, I can tell already!

Another under-the-wire entry. I've been very distracted this month with moving and Vermintide, so I'm glad I was able to quickly paint this one up as a palette cleanser between my Necrons and KO.

An army which bears the holy cross of Jesus Christ cannot be beaten. To suggest otherwise is blasphemy. There must be war...GOD WILLS IT!

Lots of nice entries everyone!

On the topic of timing: I normally wrap the old thread and start the new one before work on the 1st. I’ve actually got tomorrow off, but have an appointment first thing. So there might be a slight delay. But you have at least 14 hours from when I make this post. So put on that last highlight, wait for the sun to come out, and grab those final pics!

Remember next month is the open category, so paint whatever makes your heart sing. Or just needs to get out of the queue. Whatever; we don’t judge.

Good to hear - I was trying to work out how to fit in waiting for a coat of varnish on a base to dry, gluing the miniature to said (currently sticky) base, and taking photos into two hours, not to mention uploading the photos, cropping, adjusting the size, etc.

I've had a bit of a nightmare with the base. I followed a "simple, impossible to mess up" tutorial on painting marble. Turned out there's no such thing as impossible.

Every tutorial I’ve seen on how to do marble makes it look so easy. Every time I try it looks like trash.

My last-minute entry. Painted in a day using mostly washes, ink and drybrushing, so it's a bit rough. Also the pictures were taken with a potato.

I managed to get something that looks good following a completely different tutorial. This after I'd made a trip out to my FLGS this morning to buy a pot of drying retardant for the other tutorial. The method I used involved spraying paint through a dried baby wipe, and it was much easier and made for far better results.

Very glad you have kept your streak going Para, Mordheim was always one of my favorite games.

Lovely Work DV8, I like the transition of color from the darker dirtier feet to the lighter less dirty robes at the top, also a fan of the look of Great Helms

I hope you can fix your marble effect Felt, I'm sure it will look great regardless coming from you.

Heres a finished shot of my Sisters of Silence, I'm just happy to still be getting stuff in even if its not epic conversions or Jaw dropping painting.
