@Ezki: Thanks so much Ezki To be honest, I'm jealous of your amazing painting skills.

The one day extension will be nice, that way I don't have to lose any sleep to finish. I've primed and gotten a base coat and layer down on the armor. I'm trying some new things, but it's not turning out too well. I'll still try to finish it up tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, should probably submit to the actual thread...
Proof:

Finals, elf ranger, prowling the shadows:



Lots of very nice work in the last page, and really throughout the thread.

Here's my entry. Not much shadow except the name, but Commander Shadowsun will give some nice buffs to the army.

Goliath Truck and Neophyte Hybrids

If possible, the one extra day might make a difference after all.
Might not get the model completely polished, but at least I can manage to get some color to the unpainted areas

Granted

OK, let’s see where we are at the end of Thursday. We don’t want to be painting on Groundhog Day. That will just lead to touching up the same part of the model over and over again...

Got back from a work trip late last night so photos will be up this evening

OK, this gets another day, but go get started on Feb

I got overtaken by work, and my entry is barely past the undercoat, so I'll withdraw. Sorry to report in so late.

Hey folks,thanks for extension.

I got off to a decent start this month but caught a slight eye infection, didn't think I would get any more painting done and was about to throw the towel in but It's almost cleared up so gave painting up my entry this month another try again yesterday and today, depth perception was a wee bit off to say the least when I tried to paint last week. Hopefully I can tidy this guy up "a bit " and get him based today and photo's taken.

Oh you're too kind.


Thanks for the extension Nev!

Managed to get Shadowheart somewhat done. There are a few things that I might return to later (like the base and hands), but for now I'm calling her done.
The main goal for this project was to practice NMM. I have done it dozen or so times for swords and such, but never to this extent. It was an intimidating and interesting challenge for sure.
Tried my very best and was about to lose my sanity here and there, but I had a lot of fun and that's the most important thing!
Luckily there were quite a few reference pictures of this character

Final pictures:

"Yes I'm a Gatekeeper and a Hater. I'm Also God's Favorite Princess and the Most Interesting Girl in the World" -Shadowheart.

Great work on the armor, Ezki!

Just managed to get the one guy painted up sadly, eyeballs need a rest





Lots of cool entries this month sweet terrain Captain Brown, like seeing homemade stuff, like your zombies XvArcanevX, hope I look that good when I'm dead, KidCthulhu
your cartoon strip always brings a smile to my face, cheers. To name a few.

Here are my final guys and as far as I got, still missing a few highlights and also very annoying lost one of the riders arms, no idea where it is as I've been traveling around with work a lot this month brining my stuff with me.

Some Tanith Scouts on Horses for Stealth operation rather than big loud vehicles, made sense to me.

Get those last minute entries in people!

Speaking of which:


I forgot how irritating my camo nid pattern is to actually execute. It’s the same contrast paints, but diluted with water and intestinally applied for a pathcy/mottled/marbled look. Which is a lot more work than the bang one coat on straight from the pot. And touchups require more effort.


This should be the last camo phobos Ultra for a while. I think I’ve got a spare one on sprue, but no space in a squad for him, so he can sit. I do have 10 of the new scouts incoming, the question is if they join the snow force, or stick with the woodland camo of the rest of their older brothers. But that’s a decision for later.

Just spent the whole day finishing one model and I'm only just finished. I'm too knackered mentally to set up my camera and take pics, is it okay if I do that tomorrow?

Proof of second model and proof of completed painting attached.

If the painting is done, we can forgive a little extra time for pics.

Kudos for getting it done!

More Exodite action! Love it!

Here's what I've got after a little touch up. Not much but I had fun so that's what matters.

@Ezki: Your finished pictures proved my point

Thanks for the extension Nev, I was able to finish (possibly) Alpharius with the extra time.

Heheh, yep, I'm probably going to be finding excuses to enter exodites for the next year or so! Either that or Raven Guard...

@Syro_ Superb work getting that painted up so quickly! Alpha Legion are my second 30k army after Raven Guard

Here's my entry, I ended up rushing a bit with Kelsya, didn't paint the gems or do the basing quite as well as I wanted, but overall I'm pretty happy with both. They're both converted models, Korvin much more extensively as Kelsya is basically just a headswap with an added knife. Korvin has bits from all sorts of different kits.



Edit: damn it, one of the images is wrong, let me fix it...

Edit 2: okay, fixed. Dumbass...

Both great choices, Raven Guard and Alpha Legion are two of my favorites in the novels. That's my first on only Alpha, so I don't know if I can call him Alpha "Legion"

We all in? It’s been more than the day extension granted, so i’m going to close this and start compiling the vote.

Four days too late for the competition unfortunately, but if anyone's curious, I did just finish the other kommando that I posted a proof for:
