It's easy to do.

Has anyone coined the term "file of shame," yet? All those downloaded sculpts just waiting for their time?

Used the original tower and bulkheads, and plastic card for the platforms. I have been adding bits to make a more 3D look.

Painting comes next.

Awesome. I love recreations like this.

Aiming to keep my painting up, I'll probably be entering heresy raven guard this month. Either that or exodite waywatchers...

Or maybe even some 2nd ed. genestealers?

I have been tempted by the nuerothicctor stl for a while, so this seems like a good a time as ever. I decided to go with the less horny version.

I’ve got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key….

Might be done super early this month at this rate….

Ugh, I started painting something (was smart enough to get a "before" photo this time) and made really good progress, but it doesn't really fit this month's theme

Maybe something later in the month will work...

One of the most dangerous creatures of the shadows is of course an alley gambling dwarf.

The Shadow lurking Dwarf gamblers are Finished! 2 days thanks to washes over white.

People are already posting finished entries while I haven't even decided yet what to paint.

I also could've already been done 2 days ago but decided to take two days off from painting because its been cold weather and that makes me tired.

@mothsniper those are ace. Reaper townsfolk are just fantastic models.

Mothsniper, love those little guys!

What do you mean cold weather? It is perfectly fine here in California

Man, they really are!
Especially the new sculpts are fire. I got the drunk dwarfs too. One gripe is that the "black" or dark gray series plastic for the new models is similarly rubbery to bones white plastic, and thus similarly difficult to remove mold lines cleanly. Will try to throw them in freezer for an hr or so next time before de-mold-lineing, maybe that will help.

Thank you!
First time I saw jointed bases like that on the models, so they can be put together, Its quite nifty.

My finished entry:

New Biovore kitbash.

(swapped a few pics because I wasn't satisfied, anyway.. more in my personal thread to those interested)

I'm giving Ahsoka another try. She's been sitting basecoated on my desk for the last half year and I've been feeling good about Legion models lately. Fits the theme well that she's coordinating a terrorist network.



Kind of a weird model. I get why the designers want sculpted recesses on her head. It probably helps the average painter get the markings right. But somehow they didn't do any on her third lekku. No idea what the thinking there was.

So, I'm done with indecision now. If I happen to finish her early, I may even throw in a Rebel sniper or two as a bonus.

Hi all, I managed to get these guys primed last night and ready to get started on, Eliminators

Placeholder pic

Pretty much done, fresh eyes and daylight needed though.

While I prefer the original sculpt of the Black Spectre, you did a really great paintjob!

Thanks mate, very kind of you. Here's the finished article:


The Black Spectre, an unholy fusion of father and son, fuelled by rage, resentment and the arcane energies of the Rent.

A being of living shadow with its victims caught in it ethereal form.

I really enjoyed doing the mask(s)

The model is usual shown with hands that are made from shadow, but I wanted a different look, for colour variation as much as anything else.

Loved doing this. All came together in the end, once I figured out my colours.

Man, this thing is so creepy and weird. Love it!

Thanks mate. It's one of the major narrative creatures in game so pleased to have it done. Big beast too, the figure in the centre is 32mm.

Awesome!
It is always cool to see custom forms and moded units.
Love the bio-acid in the barrel and the color gradient on the legs! The base is EPIC.

Zombies stagger from the shadows in Raccoon City.

Okay, we’ll that’s 10 zombies complete…

Here they all are but will post the best five later for ‘official’ entries. I still have an awful lot of time left this month. Hmmm…. do I do the final 10 zombies or something else….

Hey! Save it for the voting thread!

My Votann warriors are ready, this month it was fast . I painted them mostly with the Speedpaint paints, except the heads which are shaded with artistic oil paint. Great thing in the Votann kits is that the heads are connected to the sprue only on the neck, it is easy to paint them before glueing to the model. I especially like the lady with the rocked launcher, this head makes her look a little like Vasquez from Aliens .







And, outside of the competition, full squad is here:

The Thin Man and his Black Eyed Children are finished:







For some reason, my phone camera wouldn't focus on the Children's faces, which I guess is appropriate. I'll see if I can't take better photos, and replace these if I am able.

Haha wow, really?

That's some scary realism there btw on the paintjob, the girl actually looks like a daughter of close friends, eep!

Seems that there are a lot of finished entries already this month; cold weather is good painting motivation. I’ve finished mine too and realized that if I pull my burna out of my kommandos squad, I’ll need another kommando to replace him so I kitbashed up a slasha boy with some arms from the old ork boys kit. In case I get him done in time too, I’ll enter both and here’s the proof pic:

Wow! So many awesome minis finished so far
Thanks for the welcome - here is my WIP on the banshee

Well, I just finished . . . kitbashing.
So I’ll start painting soon, just have to prime it all. It’s -7 F degrees here right now, that’s -21 C for everyone else in the world who uses a system of measurement that actually makes sense.
But in the meantime here’s the proof pic. A crisis commander I converted into Commander Shadowsun. Perhaps a bit on the nose, but her name has the word shadow in it.
