thats an awesome punisher and thats a pretty spot on with bruce looking great.

Perfect job on the Punisher. Heated barrels are spot on, and definitely an improvement over the pink version.

I just love all of the celebrity cameos in your IG army

Thanks for the comments guys! I am really glad I listened and changed the barrels on the cannon! I think it conveys the heat while still working with the scheme of the army I need to a little tidy up work on Bruce next time i paint, just darken the creases on his face and smooth out his awesome stubble then he'll be Yipee Ki Yay-ing across the board and never fear there will be more cameos throughout as i progress, in fact I need to have a chat to Steve about making another head set based on the characters from the original Predator movie! how cool would that be! maybe we should all hassle him?

from what little I know and retain the Obliterators aren't legion specific are they? but it's still o.k for me to paint them in the Slaanesh theme? they are next on my list of paint next week so I want to make sure i know my direction with them, I don't think they'll take me too long, should have the three done by next weekend if i paint Thursday & Friday? we'll see how we go eh!

and stephen stop lurking dude! get in here and banter with us!

Obliterators aren't legion specific but they can be if they want to be some wear the colours of the chapter they are tagging along with and some dont.

I'm sure they wont mind prancing around in pink, just shows how manly they are

Go for it, pink 'em up

Sweet updates, Nerdy! The tank is really tight and the oblits are coming through too!

I need some help again! I know i'm hopeless dudes! but I still can't find the Dark Eldar Talos tentacles :-( can anyone shoot me a link with any bits stores that I may be able to use? I've found some on ebay but near twenty bucks for 2 is a bit much when i need a bunch of them! they're kind of a main part I need for my ideas with a custom Heldrake and some VERY nasty looking Spawn! :-)

Ebay user Bulletbits55 has one for a few bucks. For the price you found, might as well buy a whole kit.

Tank looks fantastic, Bruce looks awesome.

Oblits look really fine too, looking forward to your paintwork.

How about investing in a tube tool? Great for tentacles, cables, intestines, rope...

What if you made a wire armature, slather it with LGS, then add rivets, and slather more LGS on? It might make an interesting tentacle?
.>The word of the day is SLATHER

Hmmm actually the word SLATHER has tripped a thought wire.....

armature made of wire, then perhaps a sculpting medium? not GS but milliput or something? not sure of the consistency of them but something a little less sticky, then sand them smooth adding suction rivets and slather again in LGS. I did think of the tube tool but I have so much cheaper fun now using a comb and GS :-)

Fair dos, what about beesputty over the armature?

Beesputty?

Hell, you could use drywall mud, or all purpose filler/spackle.

Beesputty is masqmini's stuff for sculpting armatures. I think they're still giving away freebies through their fb page.

As I found in the Mantis Maker challenge - Paperclip with Toiletpaper + watered down PVA makes for a great base to sculpt on.

Alternatively, I do want a proper Talos... We could possibly work something out in that regard.

Hit me up Ovion we'll sort something out then :-) i'm up for it!

that BeesPutty looks very good... I have a feeling I might have to try sculpting in the near future! (how do you get the finished sculpt off the cork afterwards? Just snip it off?) [has visions of custom Eldar galloping through his brain]

I got a beesputty sample with my tube tools but I haven't bothered to use it yet. Greenstuff serves all my purposes for now. I did a write up on the tube tool when I bought it if you're undecided, it's in my Necromunda blog. Spoiler: You need it. You shouldn't have to pay so much for it.

I do find I need to use an awkward about of lube though.

No jokes, please

Really? I just make sure the greenstuff is wet before I put it in and I've not had any issues. Or did you mean the beesputty?

wet before I put it in

Sorry had to be done.

Sounds like an excellent tool though. If I am experimenting with this lot I use copper wire for armature, then use a 50/50 mix of green stuff and milliput, It seems to set hard enough but remain slightly flexable. Can sand it down, even dremel it. Don't know if that helps in the short term until you get said excellent tool.

^ On this of all threads.
and NF is missing out...

^ HA! I'm not missing out at all i'm glad that you guys can keep this thread floating somewhere between innocent and.... well, not quite so innocent

Don't blaim us nerdfest, it was your corrupting influence that keeps taking us to the dark side....that and cookies, the dark side has lots of cookies. Too bad the dark side has no milk

Ah but such wonderful cookies.

Yeah man the dark side sure does have milk! ............ SOY MILK!

O.k small update of the Punisher Tank driven by our fave Bruce! I have now called it finished, added a little more to Bruce's face and arms and some more sponge chips on the hull, I think it looks pretty mean!

here he is!











Also arrived recently are my Raging Heroes Mantis Warrior models for use as my Demonettes of Slaanesh! very nice little models, and I do say 'little' they are so delicate it's ridiculous! nice designs and poses with the only critisism I have being the detail in the faces isn't quite deep enough so I may struggle getting their teeny tiny faces to look right but I'll have a good crack at it! I plan on painting their skin like the head of Azreema



See you all tomorrow! Yippee Ki Yay..............................

Motha scruba!


Man that punisher looks the tits Damo. And I'm pretty excited to see them boobies er... demonettes painted how you plan to
