Hello all. The entries for the first 40k community painting competition are in.
They are visible as comments in this thread, as well as being on my site here..
The strawpoll for voting is here.
I’ll leave it up until the end of next sunday. Plenty of time to deliberate.
There will also be a moderator voting panel weighing in on mod choices. Both the community and mod choice will be announced together, shortly after voting is closed.
Thanks to everyone who entered, and everyone who votes.
Sacresant Superior for your consideration.
Here is my entry
In progress
I felt disappointed because I was very much planning on participating but I got sick at an out of town friend’s house and had to stay away from my home (and thus my main painting station) for the week of the competition. I’ll still post my Flash Git some other time this month.
That’s a shame. I hope you are feeling better.
Either way though, I’m looking forward to seeing it painted on here.
I’m sure there will be future events for him, and you can always also give him a stand alone post!
Oh boi, oh boi, oh boi.
Barely made it in time.Edit: Looking at the thread again, it looks like I had more time left than I thought.Here is my Captain
SackhaariusSicarius as my entry:
The WIP pic (I hope my username is readable, I have bad handwriting):
It is he!
It is! He is here to chew bubblegum and kick Ygethmor’s ass. And he is all out of gum.
Unfortunately due to an accident in the warp Ygethmor is all out of ass! Sicarius is one again out manoeuvred by the ruinous powers.
Emperor damn it! Looks like I’ll have to make my own Ygethmor then. Well, at least if I have the ~70€ (plus shipping) for the only one that’s up on ebay to spare.
OK, I came up with a new plan, and I want to make sure I’ll be within the base size rules.
I’m working on a Celestial Lions conversion using the Sgt Castus model. It will be based on a 40mm base and will not be using his necron scenery. Sgt Castus is the same size as other Primaris marines, but he shipped with a 50mm base. I want to confirm I’ll be OK to enter him in the contest as long as he’s on that 40mm base instead.
Eeeehhhh, sure.
He’s a Primaris and plenty of other Primaris in the same kind of armor are on 40mm, so at most of a stretch he’d be an acceptable proxy, and in general his actual size isn’t ridiculous.
In Spetember? Neat.
Excited to see what everyone will cook up for it.
