Wow! Cap looks great!

Great entries from everyone so far.
DV8: That shield is on point.
Midget Gems: been a while since you've dropped in a crazy conversion, nice to see them return
TheLastTemplar: I like that heraldry on the sheild, impressive given how small those are!
Turaxa: suitably neon colors, and nice checker-work!

Also, final pics on my undead:

Whoa! Lots of excellent last minute entries!

Viterbi: I like the different colors you have going there.

Thanks TheLastTemplar! It's my Sisters standard color scheme, but the wings really gave me headaches.

Your templars look cool. It's hard to resist buying some, especially since I could take them in a crusade force. They'd mesh well with my sisters and an inquisitor to bring light to the heretic... or set them on fire at least

Thanks Turaxa! Although close up there are some seams to be seen Good work on the noise marine, it's a great mini to have some fun with unusual colors with.

And slipping in just under the wire, here are my final pics of my Stormcast Eternals Vindictors, mortals remade by the God-King Sigmar into his perfect warriors:



I really had fun working on these guys. They are some of the best Stormcast sculpts GW has done in a while. I've also been enjoying doing swamp bases on my Stormcast guys; it's nice to do a little more elaborate bases than I usually do.

Overall there have been some really great entries coming in at the last minute! I'm looking forward to the voting for sure.

Whew! Just managing to sneak these guys in! It's helpful to have these monthly challenges for motivation.







Decided to give these guys a full drybrush, and honestly I really like the way it came out. I may go back and do similar on my other black armor models as well as continue with it going forward.

@DV8 - sorry to hear your feeling a bit burned out. Seeing your entries is a consistent highlight of the comp.

The shield on your Falcon looks amazing. The highlights and sparkles sell it as super shiny.

Can I have a day extension?

I honestly wasn't sure what I would get done this month. I started off pretty strong in the first few weeks in terms of productivity, but really petered out near the last couple of weeks; feeling really tired and bored of painting 28mm and 40mm figures (seems it's all I've really been doing for the past few years).

I'm really glad you did get it done, I love your work and really appreciate your part in this awesome community of painters

More than happy to see you do a different scale or model type entirely, I'm pretty sure you'd smash it (in a good way).

Cheers Mate, I enjoyed this one. Liking the ethereal green on your undead badgers

Para normal allows at least a day for people to take photos, do minor touch ups etc before closing so get on it.

Here are my finished pics for my Ork Warkopta, I've put all my flying bases in a bag and can't find them so you will have to imagine its flying very fast across the sky, hopefully the backdrop helps with that (I think it turned out alight, still lots of highlights etc I didn't get done)

I didn't find the time to finish the rest of the warband, so final entry is just the one model

New round is up. I'll leave this one open for a day or two as needed.

Oh right. Whoops. Oh well, I guess I'm just entering that Raven Guard dude.

This one turned into a bit of a chore. Glad that it's no longer gathering dust on my pile though, it's been there for far too many years:


And some different angles in the spoiler:

Thanks for the extension!

@Midget Gems - that warcopta surely is the fastest around love the flames.

@Maharg - I really like the sword blade. Good luck with the rest of the warband.

@ Tallandra - any completion is a victory! I like the battle damage and kill markings.

I managed to finish my entry to a certain level of finished. I had meant to do a bit of light weathering of armour plates and maybe a few more bits and bobs of highlighting, but time ran away on me.

Still, very happy to get a first tranche of happy lizards with guns into the display cabinet.

Group shot


Combat engineer and a support specialist




And my first try at a bit of fake Dino markings. The only downside of the stormtrooper variants of these models is that the tail armour prevents more markings… although thinking about it I should have put squad markings on the tail… damnit, maybe I’ll go back to them for some final detailing in due course.


Amd the mooks. A rifle-saur, a well armed duder carrying something that looks important (might be a medic, might not be ), and Ghost the albino sniper-saur




And finally, the 9 week old main reason I didn’t do all the completionist gubbins (not part of my entry, for clarity)

I'll be posting my final pictures tonight

Done, had some hiccups but finally finished it's not perfect

Is that Lionsword on your Cypher from the first multi-part Chaos Warriors box?

It is 2 of the chaos swords, just to its longer than his body.

Sharp eye

My eye ain't that sharp; I didn't realize you made an extra long version from two of 'em

Man, I remember when that kit was new. I bought a box & a Necromunda weapon sprue because the 2nd Ed Chaos Codex allowed for straight up Chaos Warriors in it!

Here is my entry. He needs a couple coats of matte varnish which should smooth out the texture from the ardcoat. Calling him done for now as I still have 750 points to paint before my next tournament.

That dread looks awesome. Newly repaired and repainted and ready to stomp some heresy!

Still no poll for this challenge? You didn't forget, did you Para?

JK I know you've been busy with RL stuff lately. Just thought I'd give you a friendly nudge.

Yeah, I'm half way there! It'll be up tomorrow.
