June's Jurnal

Oh noes! What ‘av we done!

I only took a step through da lady’s funny doorway and we only gone an’ arrived in the middle of a bloody great battle! Dese crazy humies and bloody pointy-eared freaks are ‘aving some sort of argument and de bullets are going right through me ‘at and coat! Oi only just washed dese!

Roight. Down to bizness. Duz it look like I'll find da ring or wot ever round 'ere?

Beakies overe dere... poncies over dere... Nope, don't fink it's 'ere! Time to get sumware else!

Oi looked about for a place to lay lo - Oi'd neva run from a scrap uzually, but I 'ad work to do and Beakies are maybe my least fave boyz to fite.

Looking down to check me gear, oi noticed me arm was on da ground and not on me elbow where it should be. 'Dat's funny,' I thort, 'Oi'm sure dat was attached a minit ago.'

To me right were sum poncie boyz in bloo, wiv a fancy no-eyed red lad among dem. Dere nasty lil gunz sendin zippy choppy bitz all over da place. Oi laffed dat dey couldn seem to 'it me agane til oi looked over me uvver shoulder and saw sum of da mega-wotsit beakies wiv shields an dat.

Oi decided to take me chances wiv da poncy boyz.

Pickin' up me arm oi Waaagh!ed in dere direktion, firin me slugga left an' rite. Oi krumped into dere lines just next to da blind red wun. 'Dis wun'll be eezy,' oi thort, 'da poor sap kan't see!' Oi swung me arms round but before oi could knock 'is ruddy block off 'e turned slightly and stretched out 'is 'and.

A great white blast smacked me over and sent me flyin', and before oi blacked out oi fort ... 'Dat's funny... Takin' an awful long time to land...'



This month’s theme: Battle Damage - let’s see what your model looks like with a bit of scarring! 

This could be as simple as painting on some black dots as bullet holes or a red line as a facial scar, but we’d really like to see some effort put into some painting effects that take it up a notch or three. For example, 3D-effect claw marks, crash damage on a vehicle, scrapes and wounding or damage from various weapons. Don’t go overboard! because as we know ‘a little can go a long way’, but it should be obvious in your final picture what the battle damage is. 

If you want to go crazy, do some conversion or sculpting work, but as always the focus should be on the painting - unless you're going all-out for the conversion contest!
