Welcome to the next instance of Turning the World to Darkness competition!

In the Turning the World to Darkness we pick a different theme each time, and the goal is to represent the theme or find ways to turn it to the ways of undead!

The theme of this competition, as chosen by The Sun King, the winner of the May-July 2024 competition, is "Zealous"! 🌟

The denizens of the night march forward with unrelenting force!
You are also encouraged to use models or parts from whatever army you feel like, not restricted to undead only. It could be a single model or a whole unit of them, of all scales and sizes.

Original models (sculpts) and conversions are allowed.

The Prize: The winner earns the glory and a place in the Hall of Infamy thread and a forum medal once they are available. The winner also gets to select the theme of the next painting challenge (note that the winner only has a weekend to present the decision, so please be prepared and available).

The Rules:
  • All models entered should not have been painted more than a year ago from the date the entry thread is closed. This will not be enforced but violators will politely be asked to retract their entry.
  • All miniatures presented must have been painted by the entrant.
  • Max one entry per person.
  • Max 3 images per entry (including pictures in collages), of reasonable size.
  • No voting for your own entry.
  • No model can be entered into several challenges.
  • Open entries and open voting. Everyone can see who painted what.
  • Models can be of any manufacturer and conversion but must fulfill all the criteria of the given theme.
  • If no decision on the next theme is made within a week of the winner announcement, the decision falls to the competition organizer.

The Schedule:

Week 1, Monday: Theme announcement and entry thread created
Week 6, Sunday: Entry thread closed. Voting thread opened.
Week 8, Sunday: Voting thread closed. Result announced. Winner asked about next theme.


This thread is now open for people to post their entries. Please state a name of the entry along with the pictures. The thread closes on the 6th of October at (roughly) 23:59 CET (but we are not in a hurry, we can easily extend it if someone needs to finish their entry). You can also comment and discuss in this thread, it is not restricted exclusively for entries.

Another round of ttwtd, another month of me trying to work up the hobby energy to finish either my blood knights or my blood bowl vampires (currently ranked second in the local league), either of which would make a solid entry here. If I again fall short, then I also have a new D&D character I'm working on as a fall back, so no matter what I should have ~something~ to submit.

Argh, I've made no painting progress at all this month. Tons of printing progress on terrain, a fair bit of assembly, but painting? None. I do have ~one~ remaining model I painted during my last big bout of productive energy early in the year that I don't think I submitted to a previous round? Please correct me if I'm wrong though. After this I really will be tapped out, so I need to go get back on the painting wagon soon.

Anyway, here's

Melanchthon, Mortisan Soulreaper of the Null Legacy

When Arkhan the Black was hurled from the precipice of Hysh by the Light of Eltharion, his Ossiarch Legion, the Null Myriad, was defeated and scattered. In time, most of the survivors made their way back to Shyish to submit themselves to Katakros for reassignment. However, a portion remained behind in the inhospitable perimeter of the Realm of Light, rebranding themselves the Null Legacy, determined to exact a brutal price in bone and spirit from the Lumineth people who dared to strike down their master. One of the Null Legacy's most vindictive commanders, the Lumineth call this Mortisan Soulreaper 'Melanchthon', a name which means 'black earth', for the wychflame-scorched ruin left in its wake.
