The Astropathic Choir is complete! I really wanted to make sure that each member had a different skin tone, as that's something I've been pretty lazy about in the past.

From left to right:
- One of the original 40K miniature releases
- A Rogue Trader Adventurer
- One of the figures released for Talisman Timescape
- A figure released for 40K 3rd edition's Daemonhunters range
- One of the Regimental Advisors still available for the Astra Militarum range

I know I know... its been a long time since I posted a WIP. But I'm excited about this one!

Will join this round with 5 Tyranids.

@Freya: like commented on your IG post, I absolutely love that mini!

Last WIP picture I promise...

Finally got the thing built and base coated. It's a bit crooked and there are a few mistakes, but I'm quite excited how the body turned out.
Still held together with blu tack.





Off to painting...

Primed and washed.

My phones camera has gotten significantly worse since the latest updates to the OS. If the photos are too crappy please say something! I am looking at buying an actual camera here in a little... just need to get the one camera I want.

They seem a little fuzzy, but that might just be the size of the pics and the zoom. You can still see the amazing work you did on the model.

If you get better pics/camera, you can always upload more. Month isn’t over yet.

But time is ticking away. Especially if people are traveling for the holidays, keep an eye on the calendar.

Thank you for saying so! I realize my last submission had crap photos so I don't want a repeat lol

Well as long as you can see the detail I've done I'm gonna be okay with it. Though I am very seriously eyeing a camera for streaming / photos. So I'll hopefully have better pics in the near future...

I'm actually still in this one, here's a WIP:

Most of the base colors are down at this point, plus I've already shaded and highlighted the Succubus's hair (plus I basecoated all the little metal hooks in it). I've also shaded the Haemonculus's armor and tunic. Still plenty to do on these three. Even at the end the models will only look so good mainly due to the fact that I didn't clean them up as well as I could have (one of the little quirks of 3d printed models is support residue and stuff which is not always easy to see before painting), but also because my printer isn't the greatest so some finer details were lost. Still, these have been fun to work on so far.

Progress

Bah. No Germany trip, therefore I’ll drop a robot wolf into the mix. Going to try for some darkness and OSL again.

Nearly there. Have to set up and take some real pictures.

OK, calling these guys done.


When the weather is cold out, the best way to heat things up is a little melta. Or a lot of melta! For being starter box monopose, these guys were pretty good on the detail. Fun to paint, and not a bad unit to toss into a list. More importantly, these guys are the final unit for the primaris demi-company that was my goal for the year. Much of which has been part of this contest for the last few years. Nice to get them done and on the Year-To-Date shelf, which needs to be integrated into the general collection some day soon.

Lots of great looking stuff out there, keep up the good work!

Nice. The colour scheme you chose gives it a bit of a biomechanical look.

Thank you. Your mecha-wolf is a cool design.

A good-looking group. Are the names from 40K lore?

@Freya: Good work on the NMM and the cloth texture. Is the miniature a homage to something?

@Nevelon: Your snow-themed bases contrast really nicely with the Ultramarines armour.

Yep! Yerl and Korm are from ancient catalogues, Fennix is from a very early 40K novel (Chaos Child), Zarneck I got off the Lexicanum wiki but I'm sure it must be accurate, and Alen the Seer is from an old Citadel Combat Card.

Finished!
Hoped few layers of over-washing will produce "spotted" patterns in chitin to reduce actual painting. Kinda worked but not really. More test needed, was fun though.

Finished. And just in time for Christmas. The cape might be a bit much, but a red cape always looks great.

Not what I thought to be painting, but other models and bitz not arrived, try and shoehorn into next months challange...

this was little 2" bust, was sent for free alongside another order of... something... cant remeber, been sat unpainted for most of a year... and I have nothing else left needing paint! well until Christmas...

@Mr Nobody: That is gorgeous! DKoK models have a special place in my heart.

What sorcery is this?
Anyway, great work on the bust!

Going to be entering Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, from Marvel Crisis Protocol.

For those that follow my Instagram, you'll know I actually finished him yesterday, but I want to snap better photos of him with the DSLR for the entry photos.

For now, the proof (which was him up until about a week ago):

I might be a bit late to the game, but here's my proof picture for the Blood Angels Sanguinary Priest

And the finished model.

Is that what Dr. Strange looks like in the comics-- armor instead of the silk pajamas?

Your photos don't look so bad. They look pretty good actually. And good work on the model.

Here are the final photos of Alpha Simian and Krastavor:

Thank you! She turned out better than I thought she would actually. My only disappointment is that I don't know if or when I can actually put her on a tabletop.

Progress on the Sanguinary Priest. I should be able to finish tomorrow.

Well I am calling these five finished.

Five Scavvies for Necromunda.







Made from a GW Gang Leader, a Marauder Wastes Ganger, a Confrontation Ganger with modified Kroot arms and his rifle turned into a musket, a GE Scavy ganger, and a GW Scavy Mutant.

Cheers,

CB

I'm just about done with this guy. I'll take some better photos tomorrow.

Great work everyone. Just a reminder that the year is running down, so keep that paint flowing!
