Looking very nice! Year younger then me, shesh!. Beautiful mini.

 

[Malacassa]

Sadly definitely not younger than me

^Why sad? I figure you get the good fortune at having a somewhat better chance of seeing the apocalypse first ha . . . I mean, you have better odds of enjoying medical and technological advances and maybe finding out how power armor and conversions beamers will actually work. And Syn Skin and extra lungs and all that jazz. It's getting better. Gotta get better.

I might have some miniatures older than me, maybe? But none from GW for some reason. I'm pre-pre-slotta. I sort of embody the Warhammer for the 40+ set, I suppose. Going to have to change that first digit soon if things keep going as they are.

Don't forget if you haven't already entered you have until Sunday to post those pics!

in the spirit of solidarity, and despite my clear lack of ability, here's my golden gobbo entry. the only thing i've managed to get painted for orctober (so far).

Nuffink wrong wiv dem snotties! Love a pump wagon.

 

[Loose Loser]

Nice one! Must be honest, one of miniatures that I had in mind was pump wagon ( beside Cockatrice with night goblin standard, Dieter and Nagash ). Really like all the fun on miniature. I didn't have belts so I decide for Nagash ( as NG didn't fit that good and Dieter was half striped of paint and all that ), just for the kicks. Really nice pump wagon! Nice addition to already nice lineup of models for this GG.

 

[inchmurrin]

Smart looking pump waggon always liked the anarchic look of the wagon and the early ones snots were brilliant.

And now on to my entry I've been painting a load of plastic and resin "Slaves to Darkness" minis to sell recently so as penance I decided I neeeded to do the real thing. I picked up one of these guys modified to be a chaos chariot driver in a job lot and thought he had sufficient oldhammmerness for the Golden Gobbo.

Here's the illustration from Slaves to Darkness

And here's my version

He is Grinnon Gold Fist Champion of Khorn with technological weapons a power fist and a Dark Eldar Agoniser obviously doesb't mind effective weapons from wimpish Slaaneshi sources. He may end up with a chariot or retinue somtime.

 

[Loose Loser]

Nice one! I would even say that whip in his hand is the part that is cut out on the image that you posted?

 

[inchmurrin]

It is like many minis of the period lost it's axe at some point.

 

[Loose Loser]

I was thinking that image from Slaves to Darkness that you have posted. Next to the Khotne bloke is some other miniature image that is cut off. Looks like that whip that you put on Khorne bloke.

 

[inchmurrin]

It is, actually it is the whip from the first edition of the Bloodthirster. I could do with one of those for my bloodthirster!

 

[Loose Loser]

Some bold champion he is hehe Looks like really nice replacement.

 

[Ketil Trout]

Lots of lovely entries. here is my effort, a Marauder giant ogre

 

[Sleepysod]

Love both the chaos champion and the marauder ogre. Great takes on both models

 

[Sneekid]

Late, but not too late!
Great entries so far - love the apparent Ogre theme!
Painting time has been scarce of late, but for the competition it is my pleasure to share:

Squig Handlers:
Skeggit and Scraggit, off to chase down some more nice beasties for the Boss's menagerie. And in glorious, Red Period technicolour, too!
