Unfortunately it's a very lacklustre effort from me this month sorry. :(
I was planning to have a full unit done and properly based, but instead I spent the whole month pretty much just playing WoW Burning Crusade Classic instead of painting. So it's a meager two Evil Sunz Biker Boys from me (nothing compared to Karantu's unit of nine - absolutely stellar effort, mate.)

@Matt, I wouldn't call those bikes lackluster at all. The amount of detail on them surpasses all the corner cutting I did on mine for sure. Can't wait to see the rest of the unit painted up too. Also, I might "borrow" some ideas from your paint job to do touch ups on my bikes.

Thanks! But still, I'm gonna try to at least have a whole unit painted up for next month's entry.

Well, depending on if World of Warcraft lets me. :lol:

This is why I'm ignoring FFXIV and all the memes about its free trial as hard as possible.

Everyone's stuff looks amazing this month, great job! Ranking is going to be tough, unless I do it purely on count of right arms 🤔

As expected we ended up a healthy dose of bikes but the other entries could probably keep up too. (i.e. Vampires moving at anime-like speeds)
Here's the voting link for round 6, voting should be up till the 4th or whenever I realize that it should be over.

And for next month's theme:
来月のテーマは...

I am the law!

The usual rules apply and the deadline for round 7 is July 25th so go ahead and throw in one submission of anything you paint in that timespan that you think fits the theme. The theme might be a little obscure this time so get creative.

締め切りは6/27なので、今日から締め切りの間に塗った物を1エントリーをこちらに投稿してください。
※モデルのサイズ、メーカー、数などの制限はありません。

Voting was extremely hard this time! I wanted to give votes to all four of you.

Also the new theme after I *just* painted a High Lord of Terra 😅 It's probably going to end up being a Stormcast of some kind, unless I decide to drag Junith off the backlog in prep for the Book of Fire and Our Martyred Lady getting a shot in the arm.

Yeah voting this round took more thought that usual.

Unfortunately, I don't make the rules, it's all up to RNG as to which theme gets picked. I had 9 themes when I rolled the dice this time.
Personally, I think I'm going to go for the might makes right approach with some Nob(le)s or something along those lines.

Man, I think I've already painted all my Dread figures. No, wait! I think I have a Judge left over. Either that or scratch-build a Dredd! That would be fun!
And for anyone who's never tried it, the Judge Dredd miniatures game is great, great fun. And the old "Block Mania" board game is one of my all time favorites.
