Monster March - Painting Topic

Cheers! The troopers are a bit out of scale with the rest of my mostly citadel undead, but the monsters are great. I’ve got the skeleton dragon painted up, too, but with a citadel vampire riding him instead of the gnome-looking necromancer it came with. I also have a skeleton giant but can’t recall if it was grenadier or one of the other non-citadel big brands from back then. Might be a Ral Partha.

Well that took a while! Finished a side project finally that I had running for almost 2 years … painting 1-2 skellies at a time inbetween the main work on my elf army …
Sadly, … those aren’t really monsters (for Monster March), but I’m quite happy with them anyways.

Spent way less time and effort on them than i did on my elves. Mostly quick washing, drybrushing and minimal highlighting.

… and tada … with the latest addition, they add up to a whole Regiment already! Maybe they’ll eventually be part of an army :blush:

Main work on the Drakons is still my priority however :wink: These just … “happened” … somehow :sweat_smile:

No monsters done for me in march but it has been a pretty productive month of progress on the Varangur army. Completed 2 regiments of horse raiders and tundra wolves proxies, all based as troops for options, plus a lord on horse













Also got a load of frostgrave barbarians built ready to work on in April. These will be used to make some regiments of night raiders.
287596

And also got the first of two chaos lords on rhino lizards built and dechaosified a little to use as a lord on frostfang

I’m aiming to get this army up to at least 2300 points by June ready for my first weekend event at the Northern Kings GT

Damnit, a few days late. And not quite as finished as I’d like (some freehand shield patterns and banner, a bit more basing, and a crew member for the howdah would have been nice). But this will do!

Hello!

Here is (late) final update of the #MonsterMarch6 painting challenge!

Many thanks to all the participants and apologies for unplanned delay in posting the Final of Monster March!

Congratulations to all participants! Well done and see you next year!

well done everyone. There are some spectacular models in there. If i had to choose though, it’d be the big troll with the hammer for me, but so many other great contenders.

I always seem to have run out of models to paint in March and they arrive in April instead, so i’ve missed the boat.

Great work by yourself this year Swordmaster to organise this event again.

Super stuff from every one of the contributors. Truly inspiring painting, modeling and even printing.

Real life kept me too busy this year - been struggling to complete a horde of Dwarves the last six weeks and making very slow progress.

Thanks @Nav !

Please, keep one spare model next year, just in case :slight_smile:

I am really happy that you liked the models and checked the progress, even if you didn’t not participate directly. The challenge is for that reason too, so that we all can enjoy our hobby. Either directly or indirectly.

And when it is done for a year, everyone gets inspired anyway!

Hi @Niall78 !

Thanks a lot! It is absolute pleasure to host the event. All the hard work is done by the participants, so main thanks should always go to them :slight_smile:

I know what you mean by real life interference. But look at the bright side, get the inspiration from the magnificent projects done this year and continue with yours! One Dwarf at the time :smiley:
