Every time a new competition rolls around, there are people with suitable pieces who don't enter because they're not eligible: they've already posted their works online! This thread is designed to provide an outlet for people to show their works outside of competition, but in parallel to it. These models cannot receive votes or win prizes, but they can provide inspiration to the competitors, and to all who see them. Best of all, you don't have to send them to a Council member and wait for them to be posted anonymously: you can put them up here in this thread, as soon as you're ready to. The theme for the September-October competition is Go Big or Go Home. |

I regret that I was unable to participate in the "Mounted" challenge, to much other activities during the summer. I've got the idea all planned out in my head, so hopefully I'll have it made at a later stage. Unsure about wether I'll be able to produce something big for this challange, I thought I'd show off my abomination (those who followed me on Warseer have seen it already). Hopefully it can be a source of inspiration if there are any skryer abomination being planned out there. Still hoping I'll be able to produce a fresh piece to enter in the challenge, we'll see about that! Here's my abomination of flesh, metal, warpstone and reanimative magic: ![]() Abomination side views Abomination Work in Progress Sorry about the colorbalance etc, not my best photographic accomplishment for sure! The base should have some grass added too, but I've not prioritized that yet (decided to keep the bases simple for my skaven army in general). Hope he's not old stuff to everyone on this forum! |

I had not seen that before, and I think it's great. But you posted the wrong image! Other photos on your account give a much clearer picture of what your Hell Pit Abomination looks like. People need to see the whole model at once so they can get a grasp of it. If I had to pick one image, I'd say you should have posted the one below.

That... is... awesome... *goes back to staring at pictures* Mutate: Okay I think my brain has recovered enough for me to form a normal reply now... How did you make that!? It really looks great. The metal parts add on to the beast, instead of looking out of place they look natural. I am loving the metal giant claw thing most, that's just too damn cool. Awesome paintjob too, it really grabs your attention. This is an amazing piece. Usually I am not a big fan of abominations (I just don't really like the model), but this one I love!

I'm very impressed with your Abomination! Especially the weathering on the metal, I'm still having problems with that! I just finished my Vermin Lord today (gotta love being off work with a dodgy stomach!) which I would have entered if I hadn't already posted 'work in progress' pictures else where! (I have tidied up the base since taking this photo!) ![]() Edited by Olorin the Ancient, 2nd October 2012 - 11:04 AM.

Great Vermin Lord model! I'd love to see it from the front, as well. I did have to reduce the image size, though: you need to keep pictures under 890 pixels wide. |

Thank you! And sorry, my IT skills are some what lacking! There are more pictures here, but not one from the front as I can't get enough light in to show any of the details. |
