Greatswords proxy it is then. Now to find a colour scheme and get to it. Advice taken Josh! Warrior priestess was painted in colours that won’t match the batch ?

Perhaps some Sisters of Silence! :D With a bit of converting they might look great.

I would love to see some updates about this project! What kind of army does it represent? Its Skaven with kharadron rules?

@Kugane - It's a regular Skaven army in terms of rules - modded using parts from Adeptus Mechanicus and Kharadron Overlords (and random other bits).  It's one half of an Adepticon Team Tournament army... rats teaming up with the Kharadron Overlords of  @Sleboda, FOR SCIENCE!! 

With 31 days to go, I hope to have an update on the display board soon!  Below are links to what's been done so far.

Here are the most recent pics of the display board from earlier in this thread:

Nearly done on Garrick’s Reavers... still need to do the bases and some of the accessories.

They’ve ended up as a bit more than Tabletop Standard+ .... but that’s alright ... B|  I like how the skin turned out ... the bad news is that I have to get at least another 5 for Shadows over Hammerhal.... (that will be for another month ....)

You mean Sisters of Slaughter? ;) Right? I’m not sure that I’ve seen those”Sisters of Silence” ... they’re probably some unusual Order Faction ... B|

I mean sisters of silence, they are from 40K, but in my opinion look compatible with AOS with the right colour schemes and would make great greatswordswomen.

Really unique army! :) I like the acolyte conversion!

I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel!  Or perhaps it's just somebody bringing me more work...

I've had a very productive week (helped with a bonus days holiday yesterday), the Necromancer has been finished, the spirit hosts have all been glazed up, I've put a red layer onto all the cloth on my skeletons, magnetised everything, painted up over 60 round shields and started work on Neferata.  That's in addition to playing a couple of games on Sunday!  Phew.

Next month's contract is likely going to be edge highlighting on all of the rank and file units :D  Plus a handful of tiny little details that I know I've missed.

Well, part one of the pledge completed. 3 Fimir warriors. Might need to bring the skin up a bit (or the photo is a bit ******...) but overall happy with them. I think I will renege on the pigs and start on the Chaos Warshrine to help kickstart my malign portents event army. And yes, that is a dot of silver on the base... will fix it...

Take a look through the slaanesh painting threads. There are some very inspiring examples of what you describe ? maybe they will help.

(You missed the ;) ... ) :D

That being said, some Alternate heads on the models and they would work really well as a fill-in for female  SCE.

Or as has been suggested they would work well for female Slaanesh Chaos Warriors. (With any 40k iconography removed ...)

There was a Slaanesh Force in the Chaos short stories that I could see those being an excellent full-in...

Or for SCE ... a SCE Shield on their back. Or as part of a SCE 2h weapon unit...

So here are some sisters of Sigmar.  I’ve been thinking on the fly and I think I will come up with a deciples of Sigmar army. I have a bunch of flagellants, a witch hunter, a warrior priestess , general on a gryphon (in the making) the sisters, an old war altar, and a steamtank. I wish I could say I came up with the idea but I saw an army about 10 years ago in the white dwarf. The steamtank was insane. Also Luther Huss. But I really don’t think he belongs in AoS unless he was a stormcast hero.

It’s Wednesday on the last full week of the month! And it’s been challenging for me, I don’t have all my stuff ready for the 28th (not sure that the Kairic Acolytes will get done) ... but my Shadespire Reavers are in their final stretch!

Post up what’s on your table over on he WiP Wednesdays thread as we head towards the  countdown to the end of the month! 

If you’ve completed your contract for this month, post it up in the Feb 2018 contract and show it all off and maybe surprise us with completing a stretch goal model (or two!)

Thanks to everyone who has posted up their awesome stuff so far this month, it’s really helped me keep motivated and get these Shadespire models completed ... (even if I didn’t complete all my goals! :P )

*looks at pledge*

*looks at date*

*looks at what I've painted*

I've had a stressful month, plans have fallen apart. Might still get some Nurgle stuff done though. Until then, a dalliance: 

The herald looks awesome ... :D

Remember: Life is what happens between painting.

Sometimes it gets in the way. I know that I’m not quite where I wanted to be, but I've managed to get some stuff completed. And there will be next month. And more painting.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Nurgle stuff. :)

Have started on my unit of blood warriors. Still (perhaps foolishly) sticking with black armour red helm theme. Haven’t based this guy yet or added blood for the blood god but this is my progress for February.

The red helm works great as a spot contrast color in my opinion! Solid clean looking work and nice line hilights. :)

I’ve managed to complete my Shadespire band of Garrek’s Reavers. Turns out I had 10 Kairic Acolytes (which is how many I need for Silver Tower/Hammerhal) ... so I’m holding off on them and moving to the Gaunt Summoner (and Familiars) and seeing how much I can get done on the model today (as it’s a short month!)

Incredible month for me. I don’t think I’ll pull it off again. I wanted 20 clanrats. And some bonus 40k. Got 40 rats, bonus 40k, 12 sisters of Sigmar and some terrain ?

this thread is an inspiration really. It’s great to get feedback and that drives you on. My quality is tabletop at best when I see the magnificent pieces around here but it really allows me to grow in confidence.
