You'd be surprised how many sub forums of Dakka I have brought ass-based discussion into.

Quite often by accident, but not exclusively.

Of course that's the first post on a new page. Of course it is. Why would it not be.

I sent myself a pm the other day to test out the spam filter.

"Witch" was my favorite replacement so far

subbing to this thread for later. Need to figure out what i could paint for somebody

Donlad's devastators are DONE, shipping back tomorrow.

Talys was good enough to post a version of this image which I mercilessly butchered for reasons that aren't completely clear to me, but stuff it, here we go

Also, I have fixed the non-glossed base, eyes, and plasma

Really nice work there!

I need to crack on with the Geckos, one is all-but-done then the other should be a fair bit faster as a) I know what I'm doing now and b) I don't have exams to worry about.

And Donlads devs have shipped.

Really happy with how they came out
Really disappointed with myself for traking so long
Really happy they're one their way!

I have some custom decals coming which I'll ship separately too

And they arrived! - Oh my word! Awesome!
I'm well impressed! The more i look, the more i notice - the varnish on the eye lenses as the light caught them, the subtle osl, the plasma blasts and the banner on the wall is real nice! A litany against the xenos scum was a real nice touch - Thank you!!
Bravo on the metal plasma cannon! The hours spent drilling and pinning trevor show up there, it looks great!
I'll be taking it over to my mates house on the weekend; check out the jaw drop on your siezmographs..

edit: just read the above ppost by kb_lock more carefully and will now wait for said decals - thats going above and beyond the call of duty sir, Bravo!

I'm glad you like them mate, sorry it took forever.

The decals I've got no word on as yet, you'll know as soon as i do.

Hopefully your mate likes them

methebest's Gecko team is now done, they'll be on the way back to him by the end of the week in theory.




The pics aren't the best, I'll try for some better ones before they go.

lovely job on those Geckos Para

Well done!

Beautiful work para

OkieDokie - Finally all done

For Buttery we have a Naval Commisar



And one of Gaunt's Ghosts holding off the 'Pact during the farmhouse siege on Aexe Cardinal (really loved making and painting this one )




And for methebeast we have a Nomad Chimera from the Bakunin Thingymajiggy




All done, dusted and in the post guys. Hope you like 'em

Cheers
Jan

Awesome photos

I have to know! how did you do those tatoos? Those are amazing

Tats are just thinned down stegadon scale green with a teeeeny dash of stormvermin fur and a W&N S7 size 1 brush

Seriously, I've had a crippled dog of a week, and this has genuinely made it less gak. Thank you, and I hope when I get to Stormwall's stuff, it makes him a tenth as happy.

I'm gonna go cheer up the nice guys who work in the black library area of WHW when it arrives, is why I hope you slapped your name on there.

Is anyone interested in painting an Ogre Firebelly? I am in Sydney Australia.

I've finished Stormwall's mini today and I won't be posting pictures as I want it to be a surprise for him and I will start working on BC's probably tonight.

WOW, this thread is amazing! I would totally paint someone else's models. But my skills are not that good haha!
Maybe ill post a Eldar or 2 if anyone is interested.

google old tattoos to get the colour you want. old ansd weathered ink usually goes a bluey/green colour. I used stegadon but dark reaper or incubi darkness would also work as your base colour then just add a little darker grey to get the right colour. as for designs......pretty much all the Tanith (the Vervunhivers started to do so too) have tatts - they seem to favour designs along the lines of what we call 'tribal' design now so I'd run with that. Thin your paint right down though - glaze consistency - you want the tatt to look like its in the skin not slapped on top. I used a size 1 brush but thats bcs it's my fav and W&N keep an amazing point. could use a smaller brush though or the GW artificer brush if you have. Oh alot of them have some ink on their faces but never anything huge - just a wee one there.

Just got my chimera in the mail today, and shes lovely, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to bring my self to using her in a game.

That'd be a shame! She's traveled all that way!

Trev is getting posted next week, so is the msrc flyrant and haruspex

Then I'm done! It's been great folks, but the obligation and pressure aren't for me

Oh my gosh, I somehow missed this thread being updated for 6 months in my list of ones I was subscribed for some reason. I absolutely love what is happening here. Keep up the good work.

Especially these:

Spoiler:

Anywho, I still have a large core of GKs that are assembled and unpainted (Termies, PAGKs, Landraider, Rhinos and a Stormraven) if anyone is interested, otherwise, I'll just enjoy the eye candy.

Trev shipped yesterday, as did the last of MSRCs bugs

Now back to procrastinating on my painting!
