If he doesn't I do...

This isn't something you want to tell the world, Galorn.

@Maus - Long time no see! Glad you like the dumpster stuff, have you been up to much yourself? I've been missing your thread - was genuinely considering necro-ing it a little bit again to see if you would post anything: it worked last time I believe we were promised some zombies...

@Maus, Rogue, LDD, Galorn AND Briancj - Thanks for the classy start to the new page

Nothing new today, but just so it's not a completely empty post - remember this guy?



I've been messing around with photoshop, so I can do something modelly even if I don't have time to paint (need to keep my sanity in revision season somehow!) Fairly certain that this is how he'll look painted up:



He's one of my least favourite gangers, so he gets painted next. Less pressure not to screw up that way! I've got some backstory in the works for him too, based on courier work before the Evac. Will post soon!

Do any of you lot do similar things when hashing out colour schemes? I find it can really help you spot any clangers before you've actually covered the detail up, but I reckon a lot of people have a much more natural talent for picking out good colour schemes than I do, so maybe its not necessary. Helps me out, anyway

We're a high-class act. Scarper. Nothing but the best for you, comrade!

i like that scheme... why is it your least favorite ganer tho?... the sculpted hand looks ace on the shotgun...and well with a shotgun you can´t go wrong...

as vik said, i always loved how you did the shotgun hand/positioning on this guy.. plus.. well.... QA

[ More Words and Stuff]

I try.

WTF this is a cool looking dude the GS work is tops the helmet/hat looks cool the shotgun over the shoulder is a nice touch, what the hell don't you like

You astound me as your disappointment for this mini, I have to ask where are the feet from are they from the Vic Lamb range

The least favourite guys always have a special place .. unloved by the creator these souls strive harder than most to succeed in life .. i bet he lives longer than the other ganger's.. lol

I agree with the others he is something special his head and hand are wonderful.. i never really have the patience to work out colour schemes properly , getting more of an issue now i have more paints though.. normally see something i want to capture that already exists ..

Hehehe, thanks a ton guys, I'm glad you like him. I don't dislike the model, I just had a very particular image in my head when I was putting him together, and I don't feel like he lives up to it. I'm happy with how he looks, and pretty proud of some of the sculpting, but I'll always think of how he should look, rather than how he does. And there's always got to be one least favourite

@LDD - Don't pretend there are any doubts there - you've got an eagle eye, man! They're the legs from Victoria Lamb's kilted range - I liked the boots (I'm imagining them as hefty motorcycle boots), and couldn't see myself using the kilts any time soon, so I carved em up. Thanks for the kind words!

@Neil - That is truer than you know! Twitch was my least favourite of the Remnants, but he's bloody indestructable. Last count he had 9 separate serious injuries, and was still going strong (well, T1, S2, head injured, half blind and with a missing hand. But still on his feet!). I ended up rooting for him - a scrappy, limping underdog
I'm actually struggling to keep the blue/green jumpsuits going in the QA - I like having more freedom in my schemes sometimes...

He still looks like a nice ganger Scarper.

That's a pretty good idea with Photoshop. Might have to try that some time as I have real difficulties coming up with schemes. That guy's great. You have a real knack for coming up with realistic, evocative poses!

I really cannot find fault with this ganger love the look, the choice and mix of parts are great and so varied (like the feet great call on them ) seriously it kicks ass.

I love the ww2 feel to the head gear screams GI tanker to me, and the use of those damn empire archers bodies (which I have a box set of but never know what the hell to do with ) works great for a scavenger body

So stop bitching and fishing for compliments

@LDD - Never! Wasn't fishing, but I consider myself chastened nonetheless. Thanks for the (even more!) kind words!

@Scrazza - Thanks!

@jackanory - Thanks a lot, man, I really appreciate that! I like the photoshop thing, as it helps you get a much better idea of what schemes aren't going to work before you've ruined the model I also find this colour theory tool really helpful - its supposed to be for designing websites, but it works really well for our purposes too! Hope it helps you out

Sidekick's all primed up now, and once he dries I'll slap some colour on him tonight. In the meantime, here's this:

The most dysfunctional family photo ever. From left to right: Tracker (Branan), Unfortunate victim #1, Colm, Sidekick, Latchkey (Caleb), The Warden, Magpie (Silon), Tollen, Lodge, Scaff, Raston. It's a pretty big picture, so you should be able to zoom right in for a better look.

Sorry for another Baiyuan update - I'll be sure to have some new content in there next time

Dood...that is just totally badass..the whole group!

They rock its like the craziest group of misfits ever …well besides the league of riveters but close second

I love the fact there are so many varying characters in this group all weird and crazy but so dam cool at the same time.

So many ideas I want to steal or at least call my own

They look really great together. I'm having a hard time imagining the guy that's lying down declaring a charge but he looks great. I can't decide if he is my favourite or the guy that is really scowling as he reads the blurb on the back of the book.

They look great together. Totally cohesive but all with their own distinct personalities too!

man with such a bunch of fine minis it is no wonder you don´t finish them of in this millenia... it would take me ages to do all these characters properly!

i dont know if i mentioned... but QA is my favorite gang of yours... and i just love the guy with the map (i assume) leaning on the crates!

The group shot is excellent and really ties in the entirety of what all of this has been up to now. Each piece is a mini diorama in itself. I really like the work you do.

What a great family photo ..the composition is brilliant.. so much character and humanity , wonderful stuff mate..

and thanks for the colour theory remind i forgot about that site ..

i have been using dulux paint cards ..

I wish it was my family mine are just weird LOL

give them guns to match scarpers and you are set for a good time... if but a bit short methinks
