June (Ish) Painting Challenge: Vehicles!

[Oracle]

Thresania prime's civil defense force had been wrought low, @Albert Fish surveyed the assembled brigade. His eyes quickly skipped over the ramshackle collection mechanized vehicles. Tracks missing on a Chimera, a door insecurely closed on a Taurox, a Leman Russ bearing scars of poor welds holding panels from what appeared to be a storage crate.  Old vehicles driven by those much too young; red eyed with exhaustion, it had been many days since any had slept. 

Signaling his approval the host wheezed into life with thick, acrid smoke belching from poorly secured exhausts. 

 

"Thresanians, we march!"

 

 

In this months challenge we are all about vehicles, from humble carts, attack bikes, tanks, titans and more.

 

We'll go a little longer on this one and have the final entries by July 6 and voting to take place on July 7.

I'm going to be up front and honest and say this may be the catalyst to finish my <50% painted Space Wolf jet type thing. I don't care if having started it 4 years ago gets me disqualified, just don't do it until I'm finished.

[And]

So glad I painted my biker chaplain last month. 😡

That counts! It just need to have a decent amount of paint applied in July

I’m in, as the dust attests to it was base coated about 18 months ago. It’s going to be blessed by Nurgle so it will hide al the mistakes. 
 

Time to crack on. 

[And]

Ooh, I’ve just built and sprayed a little nurgle tank at lunchtime for this. We’ll be nurgle buddies!

[moosegrinder]

I've had something donated by @Pelekophoros because I don't actually own any vehicles, so as long as a) my brain doesn't rebel and b) real life calms the fuck down for a bit I'm in.

It’s a rhino off! As I have a DG one to do as well

[Albert Fish]

I've bought a space marine bike thing off ebay. Hopefully it'll turn up soon 

[And]

Made a start last night, so that’s the easy colouring in bit done - let’s see if it actually makes it past this point…

 

 

 

so we have three nurgle tanks in the mix? Interesting. 

[The Bag]

Are we counting titans as vehicles?  If so I might be able to fold my current titan project into this.  Might be slightly held up by being away from all my paints & stuff for a few weeks.

[Oracle]

Yup if is a non infantry model, and moves by way of wheel, track or grav thrust its in. 

[Davros sock drawer]

How about hoof/paw/claw? 
 

[And]

Near enough I’d say

[Oracle]

It’s a method of transportation, works for me. 
 

For this month I want to have as many people taking part as possible.

Oh yes you will! Bonus points for re using the first theme of this challenge series

 

[moosegrinder]

Yeeeeeeessssss, I may not have thought this through entirely.

[And]

@Pelekophoros Next month get your overlords to sponsor us and send us all a knight to paint. Community outreach. 
 

@moosegrinder that’s a brill looking model. Can you spray it to speed things up?  I’d give it a once over with leadbelcher if it were me.

Ha! If only I could. That model is one I picked up off of a table when someone was disposing of entire armies they'd built up and never got anywhere with. It was in the same state on my shelves, so I figured Moose would put it to better use than me.

[Nicky]

I'm in. This is what i'm doing: complete with Leman Russ turret and standard turret.

[Nicky]

it has begun only 4 more layers of different greys to get to where i need to go! this time next week i should have all the base colours down and be working on the details before a final week of chipping and weathering

[Albert Fish]

My bike arrived

[And]

Those guys are cool. You should pose it popping a wheelie, instant win.
