Let's do the space-time warp again!

Would monstrous creatures like the Bastiladon qualify for Monster May-hem?

Here is a second one with the phone in focus, in case that is too tricky to make out:

I think this is the biggest thing I have oathed in a while, and I wasn't sure I was going to get it done. But here we are, and I don't think I want to paint any more snakes for a while.






I am claiming Monster Mayhem on account of this being a big monster dude!

This reminded me why I hate painting people so much. Goddamn (human) faces forever, give me helmets and various monsters forever.

Photography also reveals a bunch of problems with my flag shading, but I'm going to be at peace with it.




Now to find something shiny in my Bones shipment...

hi5 Ashlynn buddy :respek:
Late because I was out of town, but :hfive: I didn't see you oath her, I guess it was an obvious pick for the month. Nice job on yours, the alternate is so much better than her original sculpt.

I don't think this guy has a model name? I couldn't find one anyway. :shrug: I just love his little dinky hands.

I was originally aiming to try and make the whole grub look glistening and shiny, but it turned out to be more than I could manage. So instead I focused on giving him shiny eyes, which is hopefully enough for Time to Shine.

Also my first Bones, and was very easy to work with. Next time I'll be more diligent about mold lines. :(

Another Bones miniature that I had a good time painting. I decided that to try doing some OSL on this, as I had no real plans for the model, so I am claiming that as the challenge. I've never really tried OSL and it was interesting, not sure I'll use it much on regular projects!

I, Ashcans, oath one GW 28mm Ork Deathkopta for September


It has been converted to add a chainsaw to the front; I have no idea if that is still a thing in the current game, but by god I had an idea when it was and I'm following through with it anyway!

It gets dark too early for me to take decent pictures when I get home from work. I guess I need to set up a lightbox again. :( I am not sure if its ok to post completion pictures and then better photos later - if not, these will just have to stand:





For the jurnal, the model already had some weathering sculpted in, so I decided to add some foliage growing up around the base, and added the bird taking off from the statue and leaving behind a little gift. :v:

I wanted to check whether the detailed base this guy comes with counts for the monthly challenge/jurnal. Normally the jurnal doesn't require us to do additional modifications beyond meeting the requirements, so I assume its ok?

I am claiming the Back to Base-ics for his extra-size and detailed base, including the Grey Seer foolish enough to cross the Prophet of Sotek! In hindsight I maybe should have saved him for February, but oh well. :v:

I normally lean pretty heavily on the challenge to pick stuff, so this month was tough. Decided that I am going to try to push through one of my long-in-progress projects and take some process pictures in the course of it.

I had intended to claim the jurnal this month, but I blanked and only took 2 in-progress pictures, so I guess not. :downs: Anyway, here is kopta, converted to carry tons of grenades as a stand-in for bombs (are those still a thing?)





Yes, it is exactly that garish in person, because we believe in total war and your senses will be attacked as ruthlessly. :black101:

Let me know if you need a second picture with the date/time more in focus - I have one but the model is just a blob so I figured this was better.

As is usually the case, photography reveals some mistakes, and I need to go back in and redo (or do) this guys eyes; they don't look nearly so washed out in person, somehow. Oh well!




What's the plan for next month? Do we have someone stepping up for a new thread? :ohdear:

I'll get a new thread started soonish. I'll likely copy all the Jurnals and Achievements over unless someone has any ideas for new ones? I'll try keep on top of stuff better though I'm likely to be getting busier over the next year.

I really thought that this was the last month for some reason, so I was getting nervous! But apparently I'm just very confused. Now to find something with freehand potential.

Once again my pictures depress me, but oh well. At least this time my progress on faces has improved slightly. Got to keep working on that; it looks less obviously bad in person.



I am not claiming anything other than the completed month because I ran out of time to do a group photo. :shrug:
