For April, I oath these two ponds and this Plague Defense Line. All are intended for 28mm models. All were scratch built and cast by myself, so I'm hoping that will count as a conversion?
Yep, scratch-built counts as a conversion!

How many Astartes do you know that roll like this?
I think a big countdown timer in the Op with one set due time is the way to go. I stopped oath ing because it was a bit complicated to follow all of the the little rules, for casual little competition intended to get your mans painted things got a little hard to follow. I can only imagine it was a headache for the organisers and having people working from their own time zone is only creating more effort for them for no real reward.

I went with the Convert/customize and Object Source Lighting for this month's Detectuv's Jurnal.

Pretty quick turnaround for this guy. I'm not 100% happy with this guy--the attempt at aging/vertigras on the sword hilt turned out like rear end, and I'm just not really happy with the sword overall--but I'm not gonna sweat it very much. Turns out I'm rusty on doing OSL by hand too, grown too used to doing it via airbrush.

All of this is 15mm (1/100). The terrain is from much under-appreciated Musket Miniatures, the tank is by Zvezda, and the infantry are a mixture of Battlefront's Flames of War and Old Glory's Command Decision lines.

Combined with last month, I'll finally have enough models to demo Chain of Command :dance:.

Paid way too much for what I do.
I've done a bit of conversion work on my models, since the original Mantic arms are weedy and grot-like. So are the legs but they're molded into the torso and there's no changing them.


Someone's been skipping arm day...

Instead, I've been substituting regular Ork choppa/slugga bits, I thought to try some shoota arms but I didn't have any spares lying around.



They fit the bodies pretty well, actually. Only a few sculpts have needed greenstuff or fill-in stucco work with the gesso.

I got a little creative with two of the models, one's got a prototype Kustom Mega-Blasta on loan from the Mek:


And another is doing double duty as the Warboss's standard bearer. I think that's part of a Fantasy kit but does anyone know what one?


Anyrate, I suppose I'll be doing Conversion/Cut and Swap and Getting Suited Up for my dual Jurnal entries, let's see what I can make of it!

Cutting off a peg ment to hook into the arm of the model:


Cutting off part of the spear arm to make it fit:



Putting him together:



For the record the conversion was made out of the following models:
High Elf Phoenix Guard for the pointing arm and the sword I'm adding to him,


Bretonnian Knights for the Horse and the head:


This is a bad picture but the body is from the mounted guy on the bottom left of this picture, the one holding the flag and on his own:
