Subject: Alex's WIP - 16th July Major Update - Succubus for Duel Finished (At last!) - Painting Started
|

Awwwh, we have to wait?
I'd go with something simple for the name, one or two words. Of course, it does have to be specific and original, as well as catchy. For some reason, "Seduction" comes to mind (I think it's the succubus) and I can't come up with anything else.

Hey all, back from the UK GD. Didn't place in the top 3, but pic on the GW site (stuck it below for you all to see) Not too gutted given the level of competition, especially when the guy that won 4 golds only got bronze in duel! Was top 40k scene, for some reason they seemed to prefer warhammer duels of late. Got reallly good feedback, and the judges liked it a lot.
Awesome time at GD, shame about the lack of new stuff, but thankfully avoided the queues for the shop area by running across the arena. Got a relic contemptor, which is awesome, for a Master of the Forge dreadnought complete with servo harness conversion. Also while in the UK got loads of other stuff too DE and Ogres so the thread's going to get a bit random at times!
Should be updating more later over the weekend with lots more duel photos.

Got back into the spirit of things after a post GD2011 rest. Messing around with several things for fun, first up is an Ogre to Ogryn conversion, some bits I would change (arm!) but as it's for fun and pure enjoyment not too bothered! Took about a week in the evening after work to sculpt, and so far 3 hours painting. Happy with the face, got some real character in there, still have arms, shoulder pads and gun to finished off.

Thanks all, just a bit of fun really! Was pretty sceptical with the GS areas as it didn't look too smooth before painting but turned out real nice.
Nice to see Eggroll and Arakasi checking in, both your armies looking awesome!
Back home on the weekend ( in the US, and why did I pick the only city that doesn't sell tufts of grass!, FLGS is rubbish, didn't even know what I meant), should be done with the paint by Sun.
Have a harlequin venom almost done but now pics with me here in US, will stick those up too over the weekend

Now the next one definitely has to be Bennett, knife, handlebars and all!
Back home now so should get it finished up over the weekend, and start the next one.

Started the next one, and here's a photo built without hands and pre GS so you can all see where it starts. Some HUGE holes to fill in, bit like a finecast model
Ok so no photos of painting progess as not done much (only base on the gun), light is terrible here and working late so struggling to finish off at night. Bring on Friday for some daytime painting and sunshine.

Me too but I'm only going to make the ogryns, shame you can't have a platoon of them! Might stretch to a tank or two.

These Ogryns look really, really nice. I have seen this done before but yours are by far the best Iv'e ever seen!
I was thinking of buying some Ogres to make some Ogryns from The Warstore on Black Friday when they were only $28. I bought some BL books instead. Now seeing this I really wish I hadn't.
And Kung Pow... Very strange movie funny in parts but somewhat painful to watch in others.
LOL!

Merry Christmas all. A quick update to say about 95% done now, just have the knife, camo roll and chicken to go. Should finish off early tomorrow and post loads of photos! Tried so many new things on it now, arm hair, titanium burn effect on the gun, rust on the base. Very very fun!

Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!
"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."
—Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion's 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions |

Thanks! Hadn't thought of it as his helmet but one of my mates said it really gave a sense of scale! The imperial eagle took a while, first attempt was too big and complicated, this is the second and much better .

Thanks, that face is a pleasure to paint, it's just one of those that you do and don't have to try, bit of red, blue, purple and then some fine lines for character and it's done. Shame all the other ogre faces aren't so nice! The vest was a random idea and it turned out awesome. Next one having the same but without a massive gun in front so you can see the detail!
