@Matt - Its always nice to see a custom character and without a doubt he looks like he's up to no good.

@Konrad - I can't even imagine how you manage to convert all these minis, especially using a metal mini as a base. The result looks great so I'm just going to mark it down as black magic.

Pushing the deadline as always, here's my entry for this month.
Lord Kroak seemed like the perfect fit for this month's theme given the Great Plan and all that.

That's some nice Kroak!

My submission is my entire Drukhari army.

While I think the scheming lords of Commaragh already fit the theme perfectly with their endless plots and double-crosses, there was a greater plan driving the submission.

That plan was to use the combination of the Gauntlet and Golden Week time off to paint an entire Incursion force.

And it worked!

Same here - great looking stuff!

As usual, my entry this month will depend on a combination of my motivation and, er, remembering to enter. :?

@Konrad: Nice! Love seeing historical minis... Wait, is that Baldrick? :lol:

@Karantu: Loving that Lord Kroak. The detail on is throne and bandages look great. Is it mostly contrast paints?

@Jye: That's a helluva lot more output than I could manage. They look good too - I actually really like pastel scheme the contrast paints give them. You don't often see Drukhari looking that bright.

Oh cool. A perfect theme for someone who needs to paint more Evil Sunz.

Yeah, Lord Kroak was a Contrast job. He's pretty much the perfect model to paint with contrast since pretty much everything on the model looks good with contrast.

I look forward to seeing your next Ork entry. I'm personally having trouble deciding between more Orks, some Aeronautica Imperialis models, and AoS cavalry.

Woops, I'm horribly late with the poll results again. I should really set up a reminder next time.
This time we had a record number of voters (8!) so thanks to everyone who voted.

And congratulations to Konrad for getting first place with 28pts!
Second is Matt's Inquisitor at 20pts followed by Kroak and Jye's Dark Eldar.
You can see the detailed results here.

Also, just to remind everyone there's two weeks left in round 6 so hopefully you've got something ready.

OK, I'll throw my hat in the ring this month with the Crimson Court:

(Full-size image here, if I'm doing it right.) Going for "Vampires are preternaturally speedy?" for the theme link. They all have points in Celerity, we'll say.
