[Painting Comp] March 2026

[horati0nosebl0wer 20624xp 3]

Welcome to the next great addition (hopefully not last) of monthly painting competitions (PaintComp) here in the forums. Taking a page from @warbossd gaming club book as inspiration there will be a key word or phrase set at the start of the month and anybody who likes to participates paints something up, builds something or what ever creative outlet strikes them

Then, not later than the 25th of each month you post your results here (not in the project system!) and we all get to do a community vote on it!

There are no prizes involved, only fun! It’s not mandatory. It’s just for fun.

The secret word of the month is:

Chonky

Hahahaha perfect. This one will be a fun one to go digging around for.

[danlee 22941xp 1]

I think I have something for that.

Chonky. I had a feeling what it meant, but double checked. I might actually have something, assuming you mean overweight.

Oh I got me a chonky Nurgle beasty…

[poentje 4227xp 0]

I think I have a couple of models I can paint for this theme.

I’ll have a look later today and decide which one I’m going to paint.

Here is my first entry (I hope) of this month. I’m also working a quite bigger miniature which I hope to finish in time.

This is a 3d printed model from the Warhamster Kickstarter by Apache Studio: BATHAMSTER.

Here’s my entry and a link to associated project entry for the painting recipe.

Nicely done folks.  Good to see some early entries this month.  Here’s mine.  A 240mm tall Harryhausen Cyclops by X-Plus Models.  He’s the biggest thing I’ve ever painted for a wargame so I hope that qualifies as chonky.

Here he is with my party of adventurers for Warriors of Athena.  Not easy to photograph.  Further details on my project:

A Giant Cyclops. Run!

Nice Harryhausen piece @zoidpinhead – he thin, but big, so “chonky”?

My piece needs a few more sessions. It’s coming along. He REALLY CHONKY.

[zoidpinhead 13047xp 1]

@grantinvanman You can tell him he isn’t chonky enough if you like.  I’m not going to 😀

[gorram 3327xp 2]

Great entries so far folks, this is going to be a tough month to pick a favourite

 

[grantinvanman 10468xp 4]

And I finished my entry today!

Chonky Festus the Leechlord, in his best chonky form on chonky slug-mount. Enjoy …

 

[horati0nosebl0wer 20624xp 4]

Great to see all these chonky figures get chucked onto the thread. Here is my own big boy to add to the mess.

[poentje 4227xp 3]

And here is my second entry of the month. It’s an old Ogre Kingdoms metal model, weighing in at 310 grams, Skrag the Slaughterer.
