1 objective marker for warmachine from tectonic craft studios and the curse of zandri from GW's dreadfleet



Just need to clarify if the damage/objective marker is painted or not? I went to the website for Tectonic and it looks like everything is unpainted MDF, so need to just make sure.

Third Place, 1 Point: Slimnoid



Everything you did this month was absolutely superb. The paint jobs are clean, the technique used is 100% consistent throughout. The bases all look great, amazing weathering on the rubble and metal. All of your lighting choices enhance the models, they don't take away from the paint jobs themselves. Well done.


Second Place, 2 Points: Vermintide



Tabletop standard or not, it still looks really cool. Great verdigris effect on the wheels, and up on the arch and plague furnace. Great balance of orange throughout the model, on both the robes and various pieces of rusty metal. I also like the depth you achieved with your washes on the wood.


First Place, 3 Points: LaikatheSpaceDog



Great looking little diorama here. Love the different colors of source lighting, it compliments the bold color choices used throughout the model. Your highlighting choices are all very consistent, makes the whole piece pop out. Great base, great spacing of the monitors and cables, looks active without being too busy. I also like the bottle cap objective, it looks really cool for being what it is, the candles look cool.


Jurnal, 1 Point: Slimnoid



Everything I said above about your pieces this month holds true for the object source lighting, superb. Your technique is as good as the techniques used for the non-lit parts of the models.

I'm not a big fan of NMM; I mostly use a NMM-esque technique to put shading and highlights on actual metallic paints. That being said, there's not a single brushstroke's worth of metallic paint on this orc. Any shininess is due to my heavy use of Minitaire Ghost Tints; apparently I haven't satin-varnished it enough to kill all the shine. The most obvious NMM would be on the shoulderpads and the rusty weapons, though I did try it on the chainmail, buckles, amulet and the horn on his back as well.
(Side note: About 75% of the basecoating was done with zenithal priming and either ink washes or Ghost Tints. This featured most prominently on the orc's skin; if I ever get around to painting the small box of Orks I've accumulated, that's the way I'll do it.)

I believe I am claiming only the Journal this month, with the NMM present in the skull, the harp, and the harp's strings.

I've never done NMM before... not sure I succeeded with the skull, but I think the harp looks pretty good!

Here's a work in progress shot:



If I remember correctly the skull is an old Halloween party favor... I sawed off the top of it's head, filled it with plumber's putty to give it some weight, and sculpted the ridge with green stuff. The rocks on the base are, literally, garden-variety rocks. The woman in the original Reaper miniature had wings that I had to use in... another project... so there's a little green-stuff hair on her as well.

Claiming Backstory

quote:

It was in the dark days of the Horus Heresy that the Emperor’s only daughter enacted her radical plan to
preserve Mankind. Fearing that civil war and foul Chaos might tear humanity apart, Primarch Lilina took advantage of the strife to erase herself and her followers from the record books, before departing for deep space with a massive fleet of soldier and colonists.

So thus was the Second Imperium born. In her desire to preserve Man, the Empress devoted great resources to recovering the lost knowledge of technology. This doctrine proved an incredible success; Second Imperium technology has greatly improved over the millennia. But that was not all. Through sheer force of will, Empress Lilina convinced her people that not all xenos were automatic enemies. Heresy, perhaps, but the close alliance she forged with the Sa’iin’to Tau has proven most fruitful.

For millennia the Second Imperium, with the cooperation of their Tau allies, concealed their existence from the rest of the galaxy, relying on extensive spy networks to monitor the endless wars. But as the forty-second millennium dawns, the Emperor’s daughter has finished her preparations for her Glorious Revolution.

At the vanguard of destiny strides Captain Sophia Taurus. A great hero, she leads an expedition of Amazon Saints space marines and Sa’iin’to Fire Caste Warriors out of the shadows and into the heart of a galaxy at war.

Like all her sisters, Sophia wields weapons and armor based on a fusion of Second Imperium and Tau technology. Her Terminator armor functions in many ways more like a Tau battlesuit than a traditional Tactical Dreadnought, complete with mobility-enhancing thrusters, and her repeating cannon has replaced chemical propellants with high-power electromagnetic rails.

The woman herself is one of the most honored soldiers of the Second Imperium. By her hand horde upon horde of marauding orks—for even in the depths of hidden space those foul savages prowl---have fallen. Her tactical acumen and mental adaptability are second to none, and her personal martial prowess is the stuff of legends.

Aided by a command team handpicked from both her sisters and the Sa’iin’to cadres, and backed by the faith and technology of two empires, Captain Taurus is poised to shatter the balance of power.

And she is just the first of many...

Stompa - not 100% happy with this guy, the primer turned slightly fuzzy making it absorb a bunch of paint, making the yellow come out a lot more sepia than normal after washing. I may re-highlight this later if I can be bothered.

A German soldier stays safe between these armoured behemoths for size comparison. These tiny slightly armoured clunkers ain't the Tiger tanks you've heard of!


German squad #1 (Warlord Games). A German WW2 squad, especially in the early war like this, would normally be like this: one LMG (MG34) with three crew, of which two are loaders. One NCO, that's the guy with the submachine gun. 6 riflemen with bolt action rifles. The single MG34 is about as deadly as the rest of the entire squad!


German early war squad #2.

I even got a game of Chain of Command in this month!

In mine? No, it's pretty much straight up from the Warlord Games Early War German kit. There are a few heads and I think four torsos and an arm or two from the Warlord Games Late German kit. The latter is a decidedly worse kit than their early war kit. But I think their USMC kit came out about the same time, so it could be quite similar.

This was my first time attempting to take pictures outside in natural light, and I didn't "get" shadows, and then my camera died. So, that's why there are shadows and I haven't retaken the pictures.

I'm really happy with the ice/snow base; I bought some liquitex black lava (which doesn't seem to be the same as vallejo's black lava) to replace the glue and sand bases I'd been using, and it didn't have enough texture to do grass to match my other models, so I decided to just try going for ice. I used ceremite white as a base, then applied some blue glaze, then drybrushed the white back on it and I love it. By far the easiest base I've ever done, and I know exactly how I'll base my space wolves and probably any new eldar I do.

Claiming Journal for the inquisitor's cyber arm panel, bolt pistol and force sword blade. I think it came out much better than last year's inquisitor!
Claiming Double the fun for also doing some OSL on the stormraven's headlights (and accidentally on the eyes of the pilots I suppose).
Also claiming In Battle for the inquisitor charging down the Stormraven's boarding ramp and blasting Lord Of Texas's wonderfully painted farseer.

The journal is the warboss' axe. It's pretty basic, but I'm pretty pleased with it. It was surprisingly easy to paint.


Also, claiming Fly your flag! Since I'm playing Relictors, whose whole gimmick is using Chaos against itself, I thought it would be suitable for my guys to waving Chaotic banner instead of an Imperial one.


Also also, I claim speedpaint for the Manufactorum. I got it finished within 24 hours of the initial oath, but forget to post the picture back then.
