Hrnm?
More filthy swabs fer yar crew!


Whozit?
AYE: Coastal Druid, with obsidian spear and wearing cool weather gear
2: Crono-SteamPirate Queen, I swear she does have a gear motif and incomprehensible tools
Gamma: Fop, idiot won't use his magic short sword. Why? doesn't go with his outfit.
Needsa have a hair dyeing. Now lemmie sleep, izn't even 9mornin yet.
Sorry, I couldn't get good pics last knight. not that this morning's were good either.
SHADAP ALLREADY! *Flump*

'Ello popit.
Who the f is that?!
Violence.
Wots a tasty morsel like yew dooin' round 'ere
Shadup Violence.
Currently? Contemplating what you'll look like eviscerated.
Yew'd 'urt this loverly boddy?



Yup.
She totally would.
Hrmph.

...

Ok now that doofus boy is gone, what the hell is up with plopping doofus boy on me?
Well I kinda failed to get the magi-elf and bar-bar done but I did finish Violence.
Oh come on! You had at least 2 days to finish them!
Yeah, but I couldn't figure out what colors to use.
... Damn, that is a problem. Well that's enough of that! Get to work on the ... something!
Jawohl mein muse!

WHARBLE GARBLE!!!
Why did you do that?
... Release the demonic horde!


Shouldn't this have a NSFW spoiler?
Why?
I'm in it.
... I admit you are more visible than in the bonesium tower but bad lighting seems to work fine if I don't give you a close-up.
Meanie.
Meh ... fancy pants blood farter!


Why is he?
He's almost got a 2 handed grip!
Are you loosing it?
Probably, ... G'night!

Ok, I know the demons were going well but ... Enforcers!


Looks good, Why Iron Frogs?
Their green, they jump, and their paint-job is based on Iron Man.
He's not green.


He's a merc with a green jacket the color of the enforcers.
... Bad picture.
Yup, need some more good ones soon.

I'm not sure what's going on, I just came cause of the enforcers

Gonna look back over the rest of your stuff though, looks interesting!

RIBBIT RIBBIT B****!

The Iron Frogs are 1 Teraton away from completion!
Aren't Teraton's Rebs not Enforcers?
Hey! the Iron Frogs are more liberal than those stupid Corp. drones. They will happily fight alongside xenos!


Blaine is a merc.
They also trust xenos not to shoot them in the back with gatling guns.


Oh, like that pea-shooter would scare an enforcer.
Would a tankbuster scare Enforcers? I think so! Oh and females in command is fine by them!


Funny she seems to be forced to hide behind the men.
She's a lightly armored sniper, they're in full plate power-armor it would be stupid to have her up at the front lines.
... that's a pretty good reason.
They also don't discriminate against robots.


Frankly its just stupid that the Rebs are the only group smart enough to use those drones.
I propose that in Deadzone Survey drones be added as 3pt slot-less (not troop, leader, specialist, rare or unique) mercenaries who will work for any army except Rebs.
Rebs keep them as troops right?
Right. balance wise this could be obscene but fluff wise it makes sense. Scouts that aren't alive and are cheap to use are a no-bainer for everyone except maybe the Plague (life is cheap).

Does that Grogan have a fancy white mustache, or am I just squinting too hard?

I think squinting + glare + massive lower lip is screwing with your head. I didn't paint any mustaches.

ARISE!
Why bother?
I'm finally posting my NOVA corp.
Oh.



And some highlights: the squad with 3 conversions!



I beg to differ. There's only one conversion and then one repose and one bit added on.
Picky picky. Judy the Ape-X experiment!



OOK OOK!!! LHAYZHOR CANNON!!!

[sarcasm]
Very clever.
I try.
[/sarcasm]

Hrrrm ... I’m not sure it’ll work.
Should I Dakka it?
Probably
M’kay
...
Holy ! We really need to update this.
Oooh boy. With what?
Well the active Marmite soldiers.


For color comparison, Is it ok?


The continuation:

We really need to do a better job of updating.

(Both) Hrmmm ....

Post a weekly goal?
It might help, but you kinda have a ... problem.
You mean Fitty Eleben and Tree projects at a time?
Yeah, that one.
...
So I’ll post the “immediate” ones.
Well that trims it down to 15 projects. That’s still about 3 dozen minis.
Ok, so I’ll start with a Sunday at 9pm local time goal for the Marmite Horde and Personal Pile.
And if you fail?
I risk public humiliation and ridicule.
Really? This from the nut who’s only reason for not wearing his preferred hat is to avoid dealing with stupid people making dumb associations and doesn't give a if people say he’s wearing a skirt?
HEY! They aren’t stupid and it’s a reasonable association. I just don’t want the mundanes labeling me the wrong type of nutter. Stoopid nazies and soviet communists giving stiff grey peaked officers hats (IG commissars cap) a bad name. grumble grumble grumble.
Back on topic, failure punishment?
You got a better idea?
...No. Lets just do the tour.

Original tour was canceled see the next post.

And the goal for this Sunday?
Marmite Vamp and Crew and the So Close and Yet So Far Club
May something have pity on our soul.
[reverently]Doip-men[/reverently]

And incase you forgot this episode’s question: Is this color combination ok?

Change of plans.
Huza wha?
The tour will be a new post.
... Whuhy?
I'll take that as why. Because it'll bump the thread up some for a greater chance of response.
... Oh, ok. Lemmie jus git some special iced coffee.
...
Ah, much better.
I'm guessing that's coffee with coconut cream and the fat-berg removed?
Yeeeah.
Ok, let's get started. First up the So Close and Yet So Far Club.


Wait a minute, you still haven't finished that hussy? And how old are those snakes?!?!
Kinda my point, at least the pyre troll and candelabras aren't as ... Old?
I guess ... You seem to be on a pyro kick recently.
.... No comment
What's next?
The minis approaching critical mass.


What does "critical mass" mean. It sounds bad...
That they've been sitting on my desk way too long.
The Bones IMEF aren't that old.
Yes, but the Iron Frog auxiliary scheme is getting old.
Oh. ... Anything ... Happier?
Is WHARBLE GHARBLE I WANNA PAINT DESE ONEZ !!!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!! Happier?
Yes, yes it is
Oh good, then these'll fit the bill.


Is that a bane?
Yes
Why?
Remember Marm's doppelgänger?
Yeah.
He owed me. I collected.
You are probably the cheapest "strumpet" ever.
you. Just for that I may give these back to Marm so he can put them with the stuff he plans on giving to a random newb.


NOOOOOOOOOO! NOT MY MINIONS! BTW. Marm, thanks for aborting your demon army and funding the Plaguebearers.
Well, now we know your price.
... Jerk.
I try.
Not really.
Same diff.
So, anything else? She asked pointedly.
yeah! It'd just be silly to post endless pics of unpainted minis.
I suppose.
Whelp, that's all for now. And once again is this color combo ok?


Ta.

Well, it depends, there's a lot of unpainted areas in that mini but the colors that do exist look ok: Brown is a neutral-ish color, so I find it usually looks ok with pretty much everything and that dark blue is no exception

Oh and Norman the Dragon looks awesome <3 Beautiful Red Dragon, I hope it's used to kick ass in some RPG sessions.

Hum, and can you finish that "hussy"? I assume she's talking about the girl next to the troll because I'm finding the miniature gorgeous. Is it from Reaper, pathfinder series? I think it's vaguely familiar.

The "hussy" is Seoni the iconic sorcerer from PF along with the red dragon. The demon muse just has a tendency to refer to random females as hussy/strumppet/etc. especially if they are showing significant skin or cleavage. No actual hate or anger is intended.

Also, AAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! I hate taking pictures! The Marmite crew is a purple not blue.

Thanks for the feedback. A second opinion agreeing it doesn't look like is always appreciated.

If you have any opinion on hair colors I'm open to suggestions as I pretty much have total freedom in painting the Marmites and Seoni as a Druid.

Jess' a quick update.


Kinda boring.
They can't all be masterpieces.
WTF is up with the vamp's head?
White hair + pale skin + lazy quick pic = burned out.
Ahh, that all?
Yep. That's all for now. Bye-e!

FWOOSH!!!


What the?
FWOOSH!!!


I got some slow as painting done.
I see. And the rest?
Look, yellow is drain bammaegeingly slow to do well and going around thin areas of it in black is awfully nerve wracking. I also kinda got distracted.
WITH WHAT?
Making dry erase marker safe Pathfinder dungeon tiles out of MDF for free.
Let's see them.
Can I show them off in a silly manner?
Fine.
The Intrepid heroes enter the Dread Daemonic Dungeon of K'wak!


The terrors they face!!!


Their rich reward! 500 gold! Before exchange fees, taxes, fines, and paying off investors. net profit: 1/2 a copper piece each.


That is the worst dungeon I've ever seen.
Well the heroes did say this and went and robbed a neighboring kingdom's treasury instead and got 32K in gold each after expenses, etc. each. With less effort to boot.
Can't say I blame them.
Yeah, but the demons weren't being paid to stay and guard the dungeon so they left with the gold and went on a rampage.


I love a happy ending.
You would. And the tiles all stacked up.


What are the numbers for?
They refer to how many are in each stack.
Ok, I'm guessing that's all for today?
Probably. Bye for now.

Whoop whoop whoop!
Get back to work.
On What?
Bovine .
Proof, I haz its.


Why did you do Scorpion Green bases?
Sadly, it's not real. As to why? I believe Mordihiem is from that era and they need something to reflect that they are for Mordiheim.
Are we sure Marmaduke won't mind?
no! So I did it anyway. And once again a painted example changes my opinion on a mini.


Hmm, not bad.
Yeah, I know she has issues. On the other hand that 'ampire finally agreed to show his face and hair.


And the rest?
Candles.


Really?
How about Aiquis and her Serpents?


Ok, that's a little better. And next week's goal?
Seniority and lack of rage means they jump the line.


It's like you red my mind. Now where are the IMEF?
10 of my 60+ ork/orx are line jumping. And the count is ignoring the painted ones.
Holy Finish those already!
That's kinda the plan. 10 's then something fun, repeat until done, then switch from Orkx to Space marines.
Reward drive? Ok, I can dig it.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Why did you do that?
They're Orks, It's tradition.
Still, was it really necessary?
Yes, yes it was.
So some Orks are done.
Yup, 5 Greatcoats and the test model of the field boyz. The half nekkid one.
So anything else to say?
My favorite Greatcoat.

[Classy Brit Aksent] :cough: Ahem. WAAAGH! [/Classy Brit Aksent]
What the heck was that?
You complained when I gave the greatcoats a proper WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I toned it down for the Field Boyz.
And then went and did it big again.
Yup!


Look! Its me as an Ork! Its got the kilt, the boots, the gentle persuader, the little psychopath I somehow wound up in charge of keeping an eye on. The only thing that's off is the gun.
And yet it still has the odd accessories.
well that's all for tonight.
This weeks goal?
Oh yeah. Banes + 5 half done assault marines over the next two weeks.
WHAT!?!?
I have two excellent reasons for going slow the next 2 weeks. Not the next 7 days but the week after that is Finals week finished off with Acen.
... I guess that's a valid excuse.
Yup.



Oh and:
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!

Ok, Please don't kill me.
Why should I kill you?
Well these 5 assault marines are done after way too long


That's good, Why should I kill you?
A minimum unit of banes are done.



CO

Random grunt

You said minimum, shouldn't that be maximum+1+yours?
Well, yes. However Marm was slow in responding, A-Cen is madness, Erberus the seether and Scaverous have been touched up, Marm would prefer variety before numbers, and I have another commission.
... Finish the touch ups by the deadline and I'll spare you.
HUZZAH!!! I get to live!
BACK TO WORK!

You failed to update.
I didn't have anything worthy of pictures! However, now I do.
What is it?


Mrow? I have started the commission!
The clothes look like .
That's because they're a single coat to give the customer an idea of what the it will look like overall.
Still looks like .
EVERYTHING BUT THE FUR WILL BE REPAINTED MS. GRUMPY PANTS!!!!!!1!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!
Anything else?
... I'll be starting the next 3 chickens for Marm soon.
Okay!
... Demon Muses.

Is that better Ms. Grumpy pants?
... Needs more Demons.
So yes.
Hrmph.
A Link to the showcase thread for finished comisions.
Wot? 'Ere ain' gud 'nuf fer ya?
To get more commissions? No. I'm going to plaster this wherever I can to get people to " OooOhh Shiny! I want!"
Why? It'll just eat into our precious painting time.
Me + Commissions = $. $$$ + Games Plus + internet = More minions for your army.
Well then what are you waiting for pimp that sunuva !
I knew that would convince you.
LESS TALKY MORE PIMPY! I NEED MORE MINIONS!!!

Oh boy, I haven't touched this in quite a while.
Is that you?
...
Oh .
Good news! You have an army! It's on order but you have it! Also there are more minions done including some skeletal meat shields and iron zombie beat sticks.
...
Sorry shifting to having a job with irregular free time shredded my brain for a long time but I'm finally getting back to my old insanity.
Not gunna talk to you no more.
I've got some of the collection seeing regular game time.
...
I have a challenge I'm participating in.
... RulesAndPlanNOW!

Rules are a 50ss list painted and based by the end of November. Other than that it's fairly open. Plan is 67ss worth of models along with 4 0ss models for a Leviticus summoning list with some reinforcements.



HURRYUPANDGETPAINTINGI'LLCATCHUPANDHELPASYOUGO!

It's been a week! Where's an update?
Oh Great and Terrible Muse, I humbly present the current progress on the Leviticus crew.


We pray it meets with your approval.
Knock that fawning off. Anything finished for a close up?
I can now play a painted Leviticus crew.


And a close up of the dirty doctor himself.


Hmm, I suppose it will do. You may live for now.
EEP!

Ok, good news, bad news, or aw news first?
Aw news?
I just got called into work instead of having the morning off.
Aw , that'll up all our plans! ... Fine bad news next.
I've fallen to barely on track and added in a Ryle.
What the is the good news?
I've figured out 40mm and 50mm basing, and the A-boms just need blood.
I hate you right now.

Just a quick update, I'm doing ing wonderfull. Paris followed by too much time around people has wrecked me. ing extremists of any flavor hurt everyone.

Go to bed. You need rest.

I really like those freaky scary things. Really interesting models.

EDC

Thanks, they still need their blood / ooze effects wich should crank up the creepy based on previous experience. They're all 2E Malifaux models. The front rank L to R is a necropunk and 3 abominations, second is 2 more necropunks a flesh construct and Ryle. Hopefully I can finish them off and get better pictures tomorrow.

Impawtent aye-nounce-mint tyme!
You're going to knock it if with that bloody speech pattern.
But first. an update. The update? BLOOD
What about it? That you'll lose yours if you don't hurry up?
Actually its that the A-boms are now blood stained.


Very nice. Is that all?
KNIFE BABY!!!


And also THE NINJA!


Doc Oc is also done but none of his pics turned out good. However Ryle was agreeable.



I suppose that is adequate.
I also have the flesh construct, hir name is Franky.


I think you misspelled his or her.
Are you not a fig-a-mint and/or resident of my imagination slash mind?
Whut.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW?!?!
Ooooh! Yeah, so?
... Iwillnotkillmymuse. Iwillnotkillmymuse. Iwillnotkillmymuse. Hir, gender neutral pronoun equivalent to Her and His. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS ALLREADY! I am referring to Franky as a person rather than an object without stating a specific gender. Yeesh.
Okay, mister grumpy pants.
*TWITCH*
...
What the ever loving .
What?
This. ing. argument. ... And you.
... I think you need a cookie.
... Levy and the Bimbonies.
What?
Levy, and the Bimbonies.


Oh! them!
Alyce and her gender-fluid arm.


...You mean Armalarm?
ONLY ALYCE CAN CALL HIR THAT!
Oookay then.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Announcement, still need to make that.
What is the announcement?
In order to attempt continued, steady progress on the 50 jilion soulstones worth of models I own, every month I will attempt a 35ss crew following the basic rules for my Levy crew.
sounds good to me!
... Icrushyourheadwithmyfingers.
... You need help.

Levy is done.


That's nice.
Is that all the enthusiasm you can muster?
[sarcasam] yay. [/sarcasm]
Fine, for December I'm going to take it easy on the painting while I clean my room.
What's wrong with your room?
It can't fit a skink right now.
... Why do you need a sink in your room?
Not a sink, a sKink, a lizard.
... That makes much more sense. Will any painting get done?
Yes, finish Misaki, Shang, and my first Orian, and paint Yamaziko. 15ss without upgrades but it's a start.
It'll do.
I'm amzed you aren't complaining about the skink.
Meh, we all need a pet. I have you but you don't have any yet.
... I feel insulted.
It's good for you.

The Levy is looking good. Well done you two. Play nice now.

EDC
