The first Strider is finished:


This probably isn't my final entry, as it's kind of rough, what with my not being very experienced with vehicles. I'm happy with the heat burn on the flamer, though.

Definately final-photo that with a dark background to make those effects pop. I like the flamer effect.

Nice subtle color use too on the sandy whole. I've recently been thinking how subtle color use means more, not less'.

Oh, these photos are just WIP snapshots. If I decide to enter this model, I'll get out the lightbox for some proper photos.

Finished.

Well, a Solitaire can fly from his tactical rock to slay space marine, right? I know that my two models do not have a tactical rock...but it is an elegant model for a more civilized age.

As I had two old metal Solitaires, and you can only field one, I figured I would paint one in the crazy original scheme and the other in a more recent style to match my harlequins.







Cheers,

Back to the Old World for me again this month, this time with some chaos cavalry

Green Knight got primed...and that's it. Motivation and time not jiving. Going to put these here as an alternative entry. Couple Star Eagles prototypes. Seeing as how I just watched The Last Starfighter again, these could conceivably get finished.

I tried to paint on preshaded base with a brush, but I couldn't make it visible without ugly traces of brush strokes. But after painting few layers of thin paint the base colors are ready, and it doesn't look bad. The next step is shading and markings, and adding a black lines between patches of different colors.

Got the steam tank done:




Some fun stuff coming, looking forward to seeing other entries!

Blood Angels Leviathan Siege Dreadnought. I'm gonna finish the base and decal the body before I do the arms.

There’s some truly inspirational work going on here already!

My lawnmower is coming along methodically…

Ooh very lovely. Warlord dredd is so good.

Right, calling these done.

Mandalorians are stronger together!

This is the way.

Clan Kryze: Koska Reeves and Bo-Katan Kryze



Gar Saxon and a Super Commando


And a Tooka on a spy droid
.
Surely the greatest piece of scatter ever.

Nice Rides all round
And Fwiw here's the whole gang

Wow! I love the look of the entries so far - here is the model I will be doing for this month.
A little imp guy riding a giant bat (model from Loot Studios)

I know it's not the point of the picture, but I can appreciate the psycho clown in the background. Kind of steals the show.

Looking good.

Me, I just finished the next Wookiee. What do you mean, today isn't the 13th of Extended April? That can't be right!

So yeah, it bothers me so much that I didn't finish last month that so far my painting efforts were directed at the wrong models. I'm going to need a productive last third of the month if I want to get my May entry painted...

Leviathan Dreadnought is done. I'll take the final photos once the varnish on the base dries later today.

Rioght- Now that I'm outta college classes for the summer, I can sit and do minis.. And what with the 3d printer, I have a massive backlog!
.... So, I made more work for myself!

Main body is actually an upside-down old Dark Eldar Ravager, there's some cheap Dollar store toy bits, and rest is 3d printed. I DO have a Mr. Tater Head Stompa that's pretty much modelled.. but, figure I can do the Jet before end of the month, what with my procrastination/ ADHD "Cat-brain".. Oh, look! Something shiny and moving!!

Assembled and ready to prime.

Blood Angels Leviathan Siege Dreadnought

( no piccas)

Finished the "driver" of the Maggothlord yesterday evening. Well.. except for some detail on his weapons to make them more g(l)orious.
One side of the "ride" is done in terms of the ailments too.., doing the work in short shifts varying the shades as I didn't like the idea of the zits being all in one. Been using a darker washed brown type and a lighter beige to peach type.

Not sure yet wether I'll paint the teeth clean as those looks freaking gruesome as is currently.. Anyway, hope this descriptions suffices, I'll leave that to the imagination.

I've had this conversion on my build list for quite some time and now seems like a good excuse to do it

My Ork Star Wars Pod Racer Conversion Proofs



P.s. I've finally got around to starting the new league table here
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/732117.page#9481149

Looking good everyone!

Thanks for the work on the league table Midget Gems.

I should probably get cracking on my entry. Got like 2 colors down. Not good.

We are halfway through the month. Anyone have any ideas for June?

Here's one:

Welcome to the World of Tomorrow - Paint something technologically advanced compared to the level of its faction, peers or contemporaries.

Suggestions:

They mostly come at night…

Force of nature

Ice and Fire (Model must be based around either of the two or both)

I'd like to respectfully resubmit Glow Up from last month.

Also:
Dress For Success. Models with extravagant, over-the-top, or just plain fabulous outfits and/or accoutrements .

Knife To A Gunfight: Models armed inappropriately for their setting. Barbarians with guns, hulking power-armored troopers armed with daggers, dudes marching into battle with musical instruments...

Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb: An entry that deals in explosives.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: An entry with an extravagant base.

For Great Justice: An entry surrounding the theme of justice. A peace officer, or a soldier fighting for the greater good fit the bill.

Junebug; either a machine or computer full of bugs causing malfunctioning equiment, a buggy vehicle (literally even), an insectoid creature, someone cute or someone that keeps bugging the hell out of everything (something annoying).

Gamechanger; anything that when entering the battlefield will pull aggro like a magnet due to its threat with an aura of "o shid".

Personification of evil; To make more bright the light, lets contrast it with a mini that is so evil our eyes will bleed witnessing the results.

Well, I’m all finished for the month. Nice and early …

Here’s Dredd… riding the latest in lawnmower technology:

I did my research last night and took some screenshots of Bo-Katan. Now my only remaining excuse for not painting her is that it's dark and rainy and I can't see what I'm doing.

Unacceptable, you must proceed by candlelight if necessary! Your audience demands it sir!

Luckily I don't have any candles, so I can laze about some more.

Fair play, I think I’ll stick something on the toob myself here… got all the fishing gear ready for tomorrow and not much else to do now but snooze…
