I’m going to have a crack at these three warg riders.

Not exactly spooky but I’d certainly be scared to bump into these out on a walk in the woods.

Ugh, I'm hitting a wall with my Vampire. Just not sparking joy.
But I do have this little creepy mutant girl that I might be able to get done.



Wish me luck!

Deceided i'd go for something simple but fun for this Halloween Special

WIPs for my Ork Ghost, I was trying to make his hand look like it was in the John Cena "catch see me" position but doesn't quite translate to the model. Just for fun anyway



P.S.

Sorry its taken awhile but the League table has been updated for anyone interested is seeing how they are doing

Received a collection of old metal Necromunda. So I have something that matches the theme this month.

Running out of month folks, keep the paint flowing!

As a reminder, no poll for next month, due to the prior tie. We will be painting “All your base are belong to us”. For great justice.

It’s an old meme, but it check out…

Heck, I shoulda entered my Ghostly Stormcast.... too bad they took me more than a month to paint.

Maybe the competition will give you the motivation to get one from primed to finished in a month’s time?

Yeah, now that the humidity has died down in Florida, I can paint again.

That's why I finally got to paint my WarCry force (I still need to paint the rims of the bases).

Happy enough to call these done. To be honest I’m not really enjoying the finer scale/detail on MESBG minis. Think I’m just used to those more “heroic” proportions.

Stopping in to drop these off quickly - will be back to leave comments on everyone else's work this month!

We are moving house atm so has been a bit of a rush. Happy they are done though

Thanks to this contest for providing some motivation!

I feel that you need to do the old FW thing and add some giant/monster/unnameable horror behind them. Great looking stuff!

Haven't been in much of a painting mood this month, so there are a lot of shortcuts, and the 'windscreen' is super janky, but I did something, that's good enough.

Since I still have this time to paint this month, I've decided to add a little scatter terrain for this month's entry. Here's the proof.



I'm just about to add the finishing touches and then spray seal it. Photos of the whole entry will likely be tomorrow.

I expect I will need a slight extension. Had a lot less time than I thought this week, so probably need to finish basing/take photos on Saturday
