That mass of stuff should be worth a good deal to the right person Nerdy. Might be worth putting up on the trading forum.

Very excited to see you progress on the knight. Can't wait for you to place all that binary on him. Surprised you didn't paint his lion cloth red as well.

Dang, you certainly jumped into the knight quick enough!

That's a crazy good trade for a pod too. I know you were planning an inquisition kill team, the chaos warrior might be worth saving for bits. Maybe. Like Gits said, sort it out into groups, put it up on swap shop for some Marines or Orks or whatever.

Oh, and:

Daaaaaaaaamn nerd... Those Rhinos are unreal. The weathering and tribal marks on the Space Sharks are incredible, and I think it really takes it over the edge!
Red hot rhinos are a treat too, and Ill echo the sentiment that the bones really help to break up the mass of red... painting the inside of the hatches white was a perfect decision.


Knight looks great so far (Im eagerly awaiting getting started on some over here )

I gotta ask, though... How'd you go about basing it silver? Surely it cant be all brushwork!


And Im incredibly jealous about that trade... So much stuff!! Definitely worth sorting and seeing what you want to keep and what you want to sell!

Coolness! thanks for identifying those couple of models snrubby! :-) I'll copy paste into the swappy shoppy! I don't want or need any of those bits and sprues and models so if you guys think someone might find them useful then that's what i'll do :-)

That Knight really came out of nowhere. Also I do know (hex as well yay...), but there's always computers to do it for you instead.

Wow, I just find those tribal markings on the Carcharodons' transport awesome ! You really did a good job with them mate !

Also, thanks to snrub & WM for the binary links... Moar AdMech iz Good AdMech !

Hey nOt_u yes the Knight was a bit left of field I was just talking about them with a mate and decided I had to at least paint one of them for my collection, not to mention I had a few ideas I wanted to incorporate to see if they worked! originally I was going to paint it like a great brass scorpion but changed tac.

Ah snrub, of course I shall cross your palm with plastic if you so wish? anything you want painted? and the barrels are just standard resin casts I had lying around

Thanks Yggs, I like painting the designs and little intricate bits but don't think i'm that great yet! but I sure do like doing it and will be tested with the binary

Knight looks very exciting mate. Red looks awesome.

Nice man!! I go away for 2 weeks and youve got a ton done! THat Charcardon transport is fantastic, well both the red and that one. Sweet Battle damage Knight will looks cool too but the model itself is too baroque for my tastes. But youll make me love it anyways, damn you. Great update bud!

I can't believe that trade you got nerdy! Perhaps a little disappointing for there being little of use to you though the sheer volume you've received is staggering. Was he model laundering or something

Lovely looking rhinos too pal, and excited to see your knight!

You may be just as surprised as I am to see what I got done today! I got wave 2 from Whaley last week which is where I got my Knight from and had to paint some more Space Sharks for him which included 3 Centurions and a StormTalon, models I haven't painted before so I was pretty excited and keen to see what they were like. The Cents are pretty cool and very imposing figures I just personally don't see how they fit in the fluff? I would have liked to see different Terminator additions personally but eh! I don't make the rules

anyway, what did I get done today? EVERYTHING! I actually finished the Cents AND the StormTalon! I know!! I couldn't believe it either lol! but I'm pretty happy with how they look, they're all basic tabletop quality lots of edging and washing but to a decent level I think? and when they go alongside their battle brother it does indeed make for quite the sight I'm guessing you want to see the sights?


well, lets start with the Talon








and a little diorama against some of my own Death Company


and the Cents in all their shooty glory!!






and now for an epic picture of epicness! all the Space Sharks in one picture! hope you like them Whaley!


I churned through all that today and I can't believe it myself! so now for the Sharks I only have to paint 2 Chaplains and some objective markers! but next is BigH's bare heads all ready to go on the desk! and I may even finish my own Sang priest and Libby if I'm in the zone again

hope you like 'em guys!

Wow those look a bit better than when I saw them on Skype nicely done as always duder

Ooooffft... Noice!

They look great damo , I was just thinking how the stormtalon would be coming around/over a building and look like a great white breaching the water on a kill .

Wow, that was super fast! They look great, you really seem to have a strong grasp of the tribal tattoos, which really sets the off. Looking forward to running some games with them. Thanks for painting them, it's way above what I would have been able to do.

I think you should upload some of the pics to Dakka. Been a lack of Damo on the front page lately.

Unbelievable! How you paint so quick and yet so well!

They all look great damo; going to be a very imposing force on the table .

Well that was VERY fast.
Great work Nerdy.

They look very cool Nerdy, the tribal markings on one of the wings of the Storm Talon reminds me of a Hatchet fish shooting down a fly.

Why thank you everyone! :-) I'm pretty glad they look o.k, I could have spent more time on them but I know myself well enough to know I'd go crazy and end up never realising the end of a project lol! but to Whaley, I don't mind painting for you mate I enjoy it and like (hopefully) making people smile with the models so lets hope they run rampart on the battlefield?

speaking of battlefield! I'm actually going to have a game next saturday!!!! this will be game number 6? since I was 14! 1500 points against Dark Eldar and he's not lost a game in the last 11 he's played :-( BUT should be fun times!

Insane pic of insane awesomeness indeed! The whole family portrait is really striking ! Great job on them nerdy !

Great job nerdy Far too fast for my liking though

The group shot looks great, really nice work with the tribal designs.

Jesus christ, I can't believe how fast you've churned those out pal, stunning work as always!

Damo...while I disapprove of any trade where Guard loses out to Marines ...you've done a fantastic job as usual. However, It's rare that I can offer you any crit. The weathering you do is fantastic, but aircraft will usually weather in a streaking fashion from front to back or how the air flows across the surfaces as debris in the air from battle collides, or even where the ground crew walks across it to do maintenance. Consider that a bit of a challenge on the next aircraft

Oh, also forgot to mention : "Why no Grav-cannons on the Centurions ?!?"

I wanted some tank hunting snipers. I'm not sold on the utility of the grav guns on them tbh, I'll have to proxy some at some point to give em some trials.

I am sure Gits could give you advice on grav guns when he strikes out with his.

The tribal patterns are immense! I can almost imagine them doing a Haka before going into battle

Well, that makes sense... But Grav-cannons are soooooo cool ! Lol

I originally was going to go with las cannons and MLs and I'd seen first-hand how devastating they could be. However the friend that put the MW list together for me picked the grav cannons. When I asked why, he said it was the salvo and the grav gizmo thingie... whatever that does.
