Rules are simple, you have a month to build and paint, or just paint, a large model. Large models are defined as any model on a chariot sized base or larger and for those armies that dont have anything that big 50mm base will do. Anvil of Doom counts as do chaos Warshrines and Hellcannons.
Basically its a bring your monster to the party competition. Empire players may use the Stank and the Pope Mobile. I believe that the Ogres dont have any 50mm models. In that case 3 Ogres will work. I may be wrong about that.
With the new release of the Arachnarock I know people have a big model to assemble and paint. This gives em some motivation.
Painting will close April 9 and voting a week later. You may use this thread as your WIP but if you do please make note of your final finished model in the post with its pictures. Any questions?

I'll be working on my GINORMOUS Cauldron of Blood so will enter that if a) I get the painting done and b) not met with any resistance.

I've got plenty of large models to do, but unfortunately I'm going to be spending most of my time in the next month prepping my 1000 points of daemons for Adepticon. The week after Adepticon probably won't be enough time to finish a model of this magnitude. I'll try and get it on the next one.

OK.
Have made my mind up.
started making a shagoth ages ago so now is the time to finish him. This will be my entry.
so far he is on the base and had an undercoat and a base colour of blue and flesh. need to fix his hands/weapon on.

We have a good mix of models! I'm going to do my ancient stegadon with engine of the gods for this one...... I've been wanting to start it this whole time I've been doing the daemons. It was the first model for the lizards I bought for the army. Let see the wip pictures too!

So here is a picture of what I am working with. No real conversions as such. I am not going to use all the extra bits (like the forge and Kraggi) I don't plan to ever run Thorek-even if I did, this would be fine to use as a model :> Here are the dwarfs after some base coating and some early washes: Here is the Anvil and it's base- I wanted a warm, brownish-sandstone color for the rock. I like where it is going: I have made great progress for me! -Erik

I got my stegadon built today while watching the boys play Forza motorsports... wow is that a cool game.... anyway, the plan is to paint the Stegadon first then assemble the howdah. This is going to be my Engine of the Gods Stegadon so I want it to really be a centerpiece. I'll take pictures when I have more than just grey plastic. I have to be honest... this project has the little kid in me screaming "DINOSAUR!!!!"
I enjoyed building that model immensely... I have two already, I may buy a few more. Owning 5 stegadons is ok... isnt it....
