It will be cutting it close, but I might just have enough time to get this done. I real shame. I was excited for the theme this month, but life has been getting in the way of painting lately.

Calling him finished. A couple notes, I was not happy with the brown color on his sleeves as I felt it blended in too much to the rest of the model. I changed it to a dark red and I think it adds enough color to what would otherwise be a drab model. The base is something else I am not happy with. It looks too blue for me, especially in these pictures. It almost looks like he is standing on water. While the green I used for the base was more bluish than I normally use I didn't think it would look like this. I am pretty sure I will end up repainting in the future to make it better fit my game boards. Just don't feel like having to take more pictures so bluish base it is.

My fully painted and weathered White Dwarf build-your-own GobSmasha is done.









It even got a game in there on Saturday and satisfyingly exploded a Chaos Defiler. Result!

Hiya, all.

I'm gonna try again - this year I have only managed to get one model finished in time for the monthly challenge...so I'm determined to get this one done!

I am going to paint this guy from the Wurmspat...

Good luck. We’ve got a week to go, but holler if you need an extension.

My necron before being weathered...



...and after!




Final images in the spoiler below:

Proof - maybe I can get it done this time?

Oh hey, old school fen beast owners unite!

I've been meaning to paint this fen beast for a while, and this finally gave me the perfect excuse! The more I work on it, the more I’m blown away by the depth of the sculpt. At first, I remembered it as just a mass of rocks and tree branches—but now I’m spotting bones, tangled vines, and even a random fish tucked in there. It's wild! Hopefully I can do it justice.

Finished! I made a few mistakes with my experiments. The corrosion paints I used on the sword did not mix the way I thought they would. I probably should have just stuck with the red rust. But my biggest mistake was the resin I put on the base.

It was supposed to be a mix of 2:1 and I did a mix of 1:2. I don't think it's ever going to fully set now.

I finished my entry a few days ago, but only just got it photographed. Here are the final pics of my High Priest on Necrolith Bone Dragon:



I had a ton of fun working on this model, even if I do think it is far from my best work. I also consider this to be one of GW's most phenomenal sculpts ever, just an amazing addition to the Tomb Kings range (most of the rest of which is showing its age rather badly). I figure it fits the theme since the model is fairly weathered; I mean, it's literally been stripped to the bones! Plus the cloth on the canopy and the saddle has seen better days.

Looks like we're gonna have another great month! Hope to see more of the rest of you fine folks get something done this month!

Work in progress. Also practicing on taking pictures.

I'm going to bow out for this month. I won't be able to work on my pieces before the end of the month.

Would an extra day or 2 help?

That's very kind of you Nev, but I don't think it would help. I had hernia surgery last week. I'm recovering, but it's still not comfortable or enjoyable to sit for hobby time. It will come, but no idea when.

I have all the models finished, I just need to select which ones to enter and take proper photos. I may need the extension for the photos.

Just in case you (or anyone else) we’ll just go ahead and tack an extra 24 hours onto this. So we’ll close it up midnight on the 1st, or more realistically Tuesday the 2nd when I wake up and have a cup of coffee before work.

Cutting it a little close this month, but I'm done on time. Huzzah!

Swamp Golem:

Didn't have time to start my amber wizard, nor finish converting my grey wizard, so nothing from me this month. Good luck to everyone else!

Hey all

I didn't think I would get any painting done in time for this months comp, just finished building some random orcs to make a little warband and need a test mini, so going to enter this guy










Automatically Appended Next Post:
Little update, used some contrast paints for quickness and then used a brown wash all over it, letting that dry now for abit, then clean it up




Face and axe left to do now, then calling him done.

Here is my finished model. Fenbeast from the Isle of Albion. I'm going to give him to my brother to play DND with since GW doesn't support the model anymore.







Something new I tried with this guy was "liquid" on his base. I'm gonna continue to try to expand on that with some other models I have.

Voidshield Generator, Thermic Plasma Regulators, and Zone Mortalis floor tiles

Finished photo's for my entry

Evening All

Figured I'd paint this cool model I got off ebay for this month. I think it turned out pretty well, I tried to really focus on the weathering effects.

Good Luck everyone

Ork Rusty Tank

Final Pics


P.S. Between 70th Birthdays, football tournaments and trips to scotland with work I'm running behind on the league table update, which will be done as soon as I'm able.

Finished my orc blood bowl player

Here's my Wasteland Lawman

Wow - some great entries this month!

MG that model is just plain bonkers and you've done an awesome job on the rust!

Love the Bloodbowl ork and the coat on the lawman, too - great work for both.

I actually got finished this month, which I am taking as a win in itself. I really enjoyed painting this model - though I forgot how the camera shows you all the bits you missed and messed!
Anyhoo, now I have to start this month's...

Good luck everyone!

Did an abandoned Galleon tank for batttletech this month.

And finished derelict galleon tank:

Leaving this open for another day, but ne thread is up:
