@Nevelon
Safe travels, keep away from the Semi trucks.

Now on holiday, and this year we aren’t going anywhere! So to have half a chance of actually finishing an entry, I’d better get a shuffle on!

Progress! Got the blue sides done of the main squad, and the captain primed. 4 of the 5 bases also have their toppers sorted. My GS is the nastiest I’ve ever used. The yellow sides done has partly cured so indeed to pick hardened chunks of yellow out of the mixed material, so the base toppers are a bit grungy, but they will mostly be black anyway.

Another possible topic for January:

The Hunter and the Hunted: Rangers, inquisitors, assassins, snipers, and other combatants who search for the enemy and destroy them.

So, having painted one half of BB3 in festive fashion I'm now doing the other half as well...

Oops.

I live! (Some pretty crappy weather, moderate traffic. I’ve had worse drives, but also a lot better)

Next month’s poll is up. Keep up the good work! The end of December always races up. If you need an extension, let me know.

Happy solstice. Nights get shorter from here on out. Unless you are on the flip side, in which case it’s all darkness. Which according to the fuzzy Void I live with, is a good thing.

Been doing something very different this month.

Here's the proof.


I'm creating a "snow globe" using this Reaper miniature as a gift for a couple whom are close friend of mine and the missus.
Been thinking of this idea for a long while, but after seeing Gabi's entry in Golden Demon (Adepta Sororitas Dialogus in a watery globe) , I was inspired and had to get to it!

Here's where I am now. The model is pretty much painted, but the scary part is still ahead of me.

Looking good, Ezki. Beautiful colours. Good luck with the fun part!

I'm joining late with some tonks that I built a while back and have just been gathering dust on the shelf.

I'm gonna start with the cow tank hidden in the back - but who knows, maybe I'll get a burst of holiday energy and get a few more over the line.



Happy hobbying in the last week or so everyone!

Oh man… I thought that was an autocorrect off a Grot tank, but no. It is indeed a tank running on cow power

Fast then you’d think. It can really moooooove.


I’ll see myself out.

Actually made a good chunk of progress over the weekend...

Started like this:



Ended like this:



Still lots of detailing to do, but the main colours are finished at least!

Well, went a bit nuts, got both teams painted...


So I guess I just need to narrow it down to 5 now...

Of course, I could paint the elf referee, with his naughty list...

Great work on those nids, Piousservant - red really popping. Is that an old school ravener on the right? Nice find!

That's some very impressive productivity inmygravenimage - well done. For your 5, maybe a little vignette of the ball in play between the two sides?

I've made (mooed) some progress too, with some base coats (cowts) and washes and a bit of messy (moossy) drybrushing. I'm pretty confident (cownfident) I'll get these three done before New Years (Moo Years) - just need another hour or two - I'm not paying too much attention to detail and the grunginess kinda (cownda) plays into the whole TONKS aesthetic. Happy with this output in amongst the chaos (cowos) of the last few days (moo days)!



Keep it up crew - happy painting!

@tzurk - those are delightfully bonkers! And, thanks, you're a troublemaker aren't you?

So, maybe...

Oops...

Yes he's making a list, checking it twice...

... and YOU'RE on the Naughty List!

Thanks mate, they are a bit of fun and a nice change of pace from more serious 28mm work.

Nice job on the ref, he looks suitably annoyed! The script looks tiny - well done on that, would have taken a steady hand.

I've managed to get all 5 tonks finished. We're hosting New Years this year so hoping to push through some terrain in the next few days and maybe get a game or two in on the day while the kids are running around.









Good luck everyone for the rest of the competition, happy painting, and hope you're all enjoying some downtime with your loved ones.

That is so fun!
Glad you found the time to do them all.

The tanks are great I especially like the one with medieval tower, and Cowpanzer II

Yep. Lots of nice stuff coming in. Those tanks are sweet!

I am currently racing towards the deadline. Should just make it I hope!

Don’t be afraid to ask for a extension if you need it. Time slips away if not careful, amd we ate in the wibbly-wobbly time of year.

Festive photos for the season.

You're all on the naughty list!

Jolly old saint nick!



And not forgetting...

Sir Rudolph!

Merry Open Roundy y'all

I might have to take you up on your offer here Nev… running a touch behind. The models have more bejanglums and niblets than it at first appears and I have only just got the base gloop on… which takes a while to dry. Also, you’re right, I have consumed much chocolate and, with a bad stomach in general, am now paying the price for my gluttony…

Done and done!
Actually got this done just before Christmas, but amidst all the holiday madness, I did not have time to post it before.

This thing was given as a gift to a couple whom are players in a D&D campaign I'm running.
It's vaguely based on a water fey creature called "Wenena" in the campaign. So I guess that's what I'm calling this thing.

It was real hard to take pictures of this, as the globe reflects lights quite badly. Tried with different backgrounds.

"Wenena"









As the pictures don't really give this thing the right "oomph", I will link a video.
I'll put in on spoilers, as it bends the 6 image rules. So it does not have to be added to the voting thread.

I’m going to need a couple extra days as well I think. Underestimated the time required for details across multiple models

Despite the best efforts of lake-effect weather of western New York I made it home safe. So we get to keep at this whole painting contest thing. Extension granted, we’ll wrap this up at midnight on the 1st.

I too have completed a small bauble. Not in time for Christmas, but before the tree was taken down at least.

Despite the snow, it truly was a green Christmas.

Ezki - Yo! That is next lvl.

Alright may as well lol, gonna sneak in here last minute with The Golden Paladin here.



My last mini of the year

Okay plucking up the courage to enter... first timer, last minute entry.

I've had these three Bad Squiddo figures primed for months sat on a shelf waiting for some attention. So time to give them some attention...

Glad to have you guys on board

My models are finished, I just need to take photos.

Extension granted, we’ll wrap this up at midnight on the 1st.

Thanks for the extension Nev, think I'll need it as tomorrow is looking unexpectedly busy. I've been slowly painting these dwarf warriors


and progress so far
