Paint scheme inspired by Hendarion (with slight alterations). I was only able to get two of the squad done, though I've got another eight in the same scheme pretty close to completion. Unfortunately, some of them are probably going to end up on ebay in the not too distant future, what with money being very tight at the moment...

Not the chap on the left, though. He's staying with me.

Lots of nifty models coming in just under the wire. I'll save individual comments for the vote thread.

Well this is awkward. I've got my final pics but Dakka's gallery isn't cooperating for me to upload them at the moment. I don't know if the admins need to get out the big hammer and perform some percussive maintenance on the servers or what, but I have so far been unable to get my pics to upload.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

I trust you finished on time. If you can’t get them up on Dakka we can work something out to get them online.

Everyone else in? Let’s call this closed. Get scrapping on April!

Okay, guess the site's working again, because here are the final pics of my Deathwing Terminators from the Leviathan box set:



Nothing like finishing at the last minute, eh, or having site issues nearly block one's upload. But I got them done, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out overall, although they aren't super special. I had more fun working on these than some of my other recent entries, so I guess I'm getting some of my mojo back.

Vote thread is not up yet. Sometimes they get pushed to the weekend as it takes an hour or two of me sitting and copy/pasteing, formatting, and checking to get up. Probably the most labor intensive part of running these comps.

I’ve not forgotten it, just busy. Hopefully get it up tonight or Friday. If not sat.

Thank you for your patience.

Sry, I found the link last month just by accident - didn`t know when you normally start the pole.
Thx for your Work!

No problem.

In an ideal world, they would go up a couple hours after I closed the challenge thread. This almost never happens.

A better option would be me posting them after work on the day things close. More likely.

But considering how life likes to be, the following weekend after wrapping up is the most probable.

I’ll post a link to the vote in the challenge thread when it goes up.
