2016 Bartertown Members Painting Challenge!!!

[HawtFist]

My wife is planning to do hers like beetles - 2 meter tall angry psychopathic beetles with claws. I'll put up some pics of hers when she gets them done. I've seen the test models and I think she's on to something.

Hi guys. Is it cool if I throw my hat in the ring? I know its a bit late in the day and im not the best painter (by a long way) but ive previously done stuff like this before and found it really motivating. Plus with a newborn ive kinda conceded im never going out again lol.

[BigMekNayt]

The more the merrier! I'll never be able to keep up with Mr. Tyranid Machine but you're right, I can tell this is already more motivated than I've been in the last couple years!

[HawtFist]

I'm happy to have you join too, if my opinion counts for anything.

There's also an assembly challenge if you have minis to glue together.

[CaptainAl]

Yeah ive just gone through the thread and he's a painting machine. I've not plans to compete, just complete stuff on my shelf. Btw may I say your Skitarii are inspired! The colours make a cold army look plush and the execution is top notch. Kudos!

That sounds like a perfect Valentine's day to me.

I like how your Tyranids are coming together. Organic and intimidating.

Thanks I always wanted to have an earthymuddy approach to my nids

[skuller]

Nice. You must have quite a large army collecting so far!

Any army shots to see how big this army has grown?

Ryan

Ill post it tomorrow morning

@ Skuller.
Your bugs look like 'bugs'. well actually lobsters. Good job.. Maybe even a couple crabs.

I have a freind who painted his bugs like spiders about 20 years ago.

Thanks ...thats what im aiming for

@CaptainAl welcome aboard!! and thanks ...that's why I decided start painting and finish all the projects I have

@BigMekNayt Thanks ....I decided this year to stop hoarding sprues and decided to start assembling and painting all my stuff

[3eland]

Awesome!

If you ever find yourself lost in the middle of cow country in a blizzard, just head down the street and have a game with me!

A quick interruption, guys... on topic chatter is cool, but let's try to keep the extraneous images out of the thread. Okay?

Basically, you should only be including one image of each model you paint in each post, as much as possible (I understand that some models might be in multiple pics, due to the way they were laid out, etc). Any additional images of the models, or "whole army" images should be in a separate thread of your own work.
I'm not trying to come down on anyone here, and NO WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED FOR THIS *EVER,* (provided the pics aren't "inappropriate" images), but I wanted to just post the reminder.

Thanks.

5 Sicarian Infiltrators painted the last 2 weeks. 10 points! Next up, 10 Skitarii Vanguard (I think).

Inconsistent photos per usual:

Well done Guys, I'm back from vacation and all your points have been updated.

3E & All, I've put Archaon at 10 points like a imperial knight. I've only seen the picture from 3E though and never in the flesh (plastic or whatever...) Let me know if it's fair or if it should be changed.
