You sound fed up ? But it all looks great to me big fella ! Keep at it !
Marine is looking great !

Axe looks pretty good to me.

An alternative to painting the highlight around the chip is to do the sponging with the light colour (paint chipped down to the undercoat, I use a very light grey) and then paint in the metal (where all the paint has been chipped off) inside those marks, leaving only a thin edge showing.

Some of the smaller chips can be left with just the light colour, and the larger ones can have darker shades in the middle (to make them look deeper).

This is what I did on the last tank.

Looks pretty good clean work to me and don't forget I hate marines the power axe is some nice work as well

I really love the confessor's hat. And that emplacement is coming along beautifully.

Cheers all

I've not done any more to the marine, Thanks Doc, I'll try it on a scrap of plasticard before I go ahead

Been having some fun with casting...


I've probably got about 30 toasters now... just one question; daemon or necron army?

OMN.

That could make you a whole lot of bread or should that be toast that was bloody awful I must apologise

Howdy Doodly Do!
Would anybody like any toast?

That is all.

Now if you gave some of those toasters wings......

I'll second Doc's advice re: chipping - sometimes it's easier to leave a thin edge highlight from the previous step than it is to try and create one. I aslo think sponge chipping can look fantastic on yellow.

Your ragnarok scratchbuilds look fantastic! Keep up the good work!

I have been looking for wings after you mentioned that. Alas I can only find bat wings of the right size...

... Bat-toaster: The Dark Toast Rises.

I gotta say, he looks great. Too bad he's a Piss Astartes, though.

Awesome stuff!

Turned out well nice and vibrant and good job with the shading and scratch work

That marine looks absolutely stunning. Great job.

Works for me !

Thanks all,

Just a quick update my terrain and vehicle bits are now available on ebay for international post ( eBay item number: 221710119392 )

I am preparing some more things to mold atm, cleaning prints up takes a while, so I'm not doing anything especially fun and exciting atm, since I pulled something in my back whilst casting...

Aim for tonight is to finish riveting Ragnarok 1 and make 10 more Genswick.

What I'll actually do is another matter

OMN.

Dude that captain is all sorts of awesome. Congratulations also for your Genswick Devil Dog making the front page, where it belongs!

Captain Badassisus Buttus-Kickus!

awesome, I didn't notice that .

"That wasn't an accident, it was first-degree toastercide"

Good work OMN. Marine looks great. Chipping works well.

God-Emperor knows how he gets through doorways though.

Good luck with the moulds.

Hey Noodles, I was wondering. If WFB is truely blown up and Bretonnia is discontinued, what are you going to use for your Genswick? I have been kicking around the idea of starting another army and this is kinda giving me pause.

Hey 40kFSU, I really REALLY hope they are not doing away with fantasy.

As to what would I do .... well for a start I have enough brets and I have recently been using empire archers (more poses and they fit pretty well) for the genswick, I have enough of them to "finish", as it were, the infantry section of my army. Just a few odds and ends to fill units.

I have been looking at Victoria Lamb's miniature company some of the parts would fit in ok with my army, I'm planning to add 2 engineer units using parts from there. It'd mean no more flat helmets though...

Otherwise I might be tempted to try FireForge Games' Foot Sergeants

Maybe The Perry Brothers will make something I can use.

Or maybe I'll make something myself

GWS' management has taken what was a very successful and popular game and managed to completely ruin it to the point it isn't profitable. If I was less tired I'd make a completely unprofessional rant about how and why this happened.

that marine is totally badass! Really cool!

Haha... those toasters just reminded me of the scene in Ghostbusters 2 with the pink goo!

Whilst I'm deciding on who'll win the LoER contest, vote on who is your favorite in the poll here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/642603.page

The poll closes in 5 days, so Tuesday around midday.

I finished the first Ragnarok ! 2.5 years to make, a new record

Brief update, Busy writing up the results of the LoER contest.

Here is my starting entry to the 2nd Dakka painting contest:


3 Veterans that form part of my second milita squad, WIP below:


Guy on the front row right, not sure what yo do with him, I need to find some lasgun arms htat will fit and look right, The chap to his left will be another preacher model left hand chainsword and in the right a relic.

These are the last 8 genswick to finish off the 2nd platoon:


when these are done there will be 2 platoons of:

PCS: 2* grenade launchers
infantry squad: meltagun
infantry squad: meltagun
infantry squad: flamer & power weapon
infantry squad: flamer & power weapon

These are using the 5th ed Dkok rules so only 2 special weapons in the Platoon command squad. With the milita squads filling the other two slots in the platoons

bwahhahahahahaaaaa - how about a toasted teacake?

Another group of awesome how you keep coming up with these I never know, plus your torsos look great some nice sculpts

I really like the middle guy of the 3 veterans what arm did you use for his left side

The Genswick platoon is spot on has a great mix of medieval and modern, especially liking the leaning guy with chain blade

Your Genswicks are getting so progressively better Im running out of words to describe them. I need a thesaurus or something. I too hope they dont do away with all the cool fantasy stuff. Ive always wanted to build a WFB army. Frankly, its the price. For $100 I can get 2 tactical squads, maybe an assault squad or HQ selection. WFB $100 gets you one unit. Im with you I hope they fix it and keep all the models, if not all the factions. I like the victoria lamb stuff too. Was kicking around the idea of getting a bunch of pith helmet guys.

Hey all, Don't forget to vote in the LoER Round 13: community choice vote

@LDD: the arms is from one of the chaos cultists that come in the dark vengeance box.

@40kFSU: hahaaha, cheers mate, if you are looking for pith helmets try Curious Constructs, they've got a cool colonial british in space range (run by the tallented mr Col Gravis iirc).

There used to be a mini Fantasy thing years ago, skirmish sized, I think it was in WD mid 200's maybe. Could always try some historical armies .

Lovely looking militia matey, as already mentioned, they are getting better and better, Command squad looks spot on !
