Lookin' good! Did you cast the missing arms in resin?

The Prism tank begins to take shape. The only thing left to design and print is the laser lens, but I need to buy transparent resin to print it. The turret will look like this:



So far it looks like this:

Ok I have settled on something completely different for this month; a terrain piece.

I’ll be tackling the Charnel Throne for my FEC hordes…

Wow, that's a lot of bones!

Loving all the Eldar stuff going on. I'm intending to finish off a couple of wraithlord conversions, if I can ever get round to starting painting now family have gone...

@Nilfisken those guardians are looking super clean! And I love the scheme, looks very earthy and a little bit exodite-y. I see you've gone for the bikini and pads look, too!

First of my Biel-tan guardians for this month is finished, tried to find enthusiasm to go back to these half-finished guardians for ages so this month's theme has been brilliant for motivation!

@CancelledApocalypse, obviously any eldar with decent manners wears a bikini to war!

I'm gonna used this month's topic for a half finished project. I got this guy at Adepticon for one of their painting classes and I want to finish it up.

The harlequin dreadnought is proving difficult, but in the meantime, I have finished painting the Fellowship. I will post proper final pics at the end of the month, but here's a group shot, including the models that I had finished years before:

Progress is slow but at least I’m moving forward on one of these:

The Wookie squad leader is finished. Going is slow and this may be my final entry. I'll keep painting the squad, but currently I'm not too hopeful that I'll finish everything before the end of the month. Still, this month's theme gave me the motivation to sit down and actually paint the Wookies. If I end up with a painted squad a week or two late, that's still plenty good in my book.

The harlie dread is coming along, slowly. It just isn't coming together-- literally, as it keeps falling apart. I finally got it pinned together, with a big ol' wood screw in the right foot holding it on the base.

Thats definitely some big hair there JoshinJapan. Going to be interested in seeing that finished!

Running low on time with other commitments myself, looking like cavalry is going to defeat me again, but the big werewolf is likely getting done, just down to basing. May add a bit more small rocks or something before paint, static grass and snow flock:

Next wave of Marvel done! Now to narrow it down.

Crossbones. Fun sculpt. Lot of black though.

Bucky, reposed and with addition of Shield.



Doc Ock. All about the science.



And spider-man (and friend)

Month is half over. Time to get started painting!

Wow, inmygravenimage and Nilfisken, those are very well done.

Thanks KidCthulhu.

Yes, I made from resin parts of the standing warlock. Been sitting in a box for more than a decade (hence the need to finally get this done).

Progress, loads of painting still to do.



And a picture of the inspiration for this one:


Cheers,

CB

Wow, that's a very nice and clean paint job.

It took a long time, but I finally finished getting the green on my marines.

Progress - I finished up the first of the nine last night. I haven't been so much batch painting as just swapping back and forth at random, but the whole set is roughly coming into the final stages (except one of the Masters of Execution, can't think what to do with her coat that's not either skin like the default paintjob - boring - or patches from enemies' banners - already done that), ponytail here just happened to finish up first:



So definitely on track to have at least five done by the end of the month. I haven't really been as careful as I was with Brother Quiff, I'm just aiming for my usual good-enough-for-the-table standard on these. I am quite pleased that the fleur-de-lys on the backpack is vaguely identifiable when photographed, to my eyes it just looked like a black splodge - the backpack's a sister of battle, she's probably not happy to be there, but at least she's got a good view. That still only counts as one mini in total though, right?

Progress on my Redemptor:

Work to be done, but he's coming along.

Slowly it goes. Doing this with a brush was not the original plan. Onward!

An aptly named challenge considering I failed to get my Space Marine finished last month.

Its taken me so long to get my blank image up that I also have some WiPs to put with it. So I'm going with the Freeguild Cavalier Marshal this month.

And done - well, not done done, I haven't finished all nine minis left to go in my 2k list, but I've finished five of them, all five happen to be Chosen, and I'm kind of starting to feel like I'm done with painting these things and if I keep pushing myself I'm just going to start slapping on whatever colour's nearest so it'll be over rather than thinking things through, which is a good time to take a breath, spend tomorrow evening just playing Princess Peach Showtime, and then paint something different for a bit. Smartest thing you can do is change your mind and all that. Anyway, for reference (in case we're doing that this month), here's where we began:




And here's five Chosen, who (along with another five I'd already painted) comprise The Servants of Bliss:









And, with one leaning drunkenly against the other (a typical Saturday night on a Slaaneshi daemonworld) to line the shoulder pads up, closeup of the two blobby mini-paintings in this batch - Leda and the Swan, and the succubus from Wizardry:

Many great models this month .
The Prism tank begins to take shape - the basic colours are apinted and shaded, and the turret is mostly glued together. I started to believe I will finish it before the end of the month.

Werewolf done, will probably do better pictures next week:

Firstly, there's some cracking stuff in this thread! Love that Prism tank especially.

It's been over a year since I last got involved in one of these - mostly because it's been over a year since I've painted anything that wasn't for work!
So in a desperate attempt to shoehorn some actual hobbying into my life, I'm going to join in now, if that's OK.

I did a couple of units for a Stormcast Eternals army in previous challenges, so I'm going to try and get back to that, in the hopes of finishing an army, ideally in time for AoS 4th getting released.

Here's a couple of models undercoated. I put them together last June, and hopefully on Sunday I'll get time to throw some colour on them.



So these models have been sat around for ages, and need finishing. And the army needs finishing. Hopefully that's enough to qualify for 'Let's finish this!'
They're technically two separate units, both being character models. But they are actually the same model; the Knight Questor on the right is converted from the Knight-Vexillor on the left, with the help of some spare bits and a blob of greenstuff.



Fingers crossed I manage to paint them before the end of the month!

So, I reckon this is my final 5.

Nice progress everyone!

Any ideas for next month?

Line in the Sand - literal sand, holding a bulwark, stopping something inevitable

Don't Lose Your Head - a swordsman, an immortal, or calm and collected

Back in Black - a paint challenge that emphasises monochrome

Favour the Bold - courage, inspiration or similar

The Naked Truth - An entry that is in someway nude - weather it be a scantily clad barbarian warrior or a big alien monster.

Green With Envy - An entry that is green or mostly green.

Nice Ride - An entry where the "rider" gets around on anything other than his own two legs - weather it be a tank, a mech, a noble steed, or even Professor X's wheel chair.

Dread Not - An entry that in some way has overcome fear. It could be a hero that fights against all odds or someone who has become the embodiment of terror itself. Imperial Dreadnoughts are also welcome.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us - Warriors don't just fight in a vacuum. Entries should have a detailed scenic base that depicts a story of battle.

Let's Finish This 2: This Time It's Personal!

I know what I'd enter.

Punching above your weight

Let’s Finish This 2: For Real this Time!

Waiting in vain

It’s looking like I’m going to have one glorious tank done this month and two still not past the primed stage staring at me going into next month, so any theme I can cram one or both of them into will get my vote.
