The chaos terminators still suffering from the catastrophic arm loss?

Yes! Though they were the metal ones! Which were all stored safely in the same place. I just don't know where that place is. Presumably the same place as my beastmen and roughriders! :-(

Hahaha.

thought it might help^^...of course it is just a heavy piece of uselessness when on the search for plastic minis... but they didn´t invent yet a detector for those...


by the way, those choasy termies look tempting... feel already the taint of the dark forces on me...

Haha. Thanks. Actually the arms were metal. I LOST THE ARMS FOR ABOUT 35 METAL TERMIES!!!

Sigh. 16 Imperial Beastmen also gone.


Anyway, in case anyone is interested probably monday night I'll be putting some stuff up for flogging. Adeptus Mechanicus Squat, Squats, 1st ever plastic DElves, Metal Catachans (with free plastic ones)...for starters...

Oh

And I just finished red and black on the rest of the Napoleonics (so not in fact working on my Golfang's Ogres).

I have the 95th rifle types to do too. And then artillery and calvary. Bar tanks, it is a complete 1800pts army.

Adeptus Mechanicus Squat how much? and for the flogging Where's my whip?

not listening *hums an anoying tune* for i am broke...

La,la,la,la,la.

Those jetbikes are great Manoknok. sorry to here about your termie arms :-( , the redcoats look cool together too.
all in all , great progress matey. you getting tired from all that paint yet?

Man those redcoats are fiddly. I am now seeing the benefit of heroic scale 28mm. True scale is sso much smaller.

Vik/Miss Dee: I am going to watch ebay for a while and then put on a fair price for each one. Also, what I'd be willing to swap for it. Probably be next monday now as I have kinda cocked up my timing...I have a gazillion things to do before the country shuts down for holy week tomorrow morning...possibly the sole benefit of leaving in a Catholic Theocracy is the holiday.

So, I've purchased: a truthsayer, and 2 fen beasts...and I am on the look out for a dark truthsayer...and another fen beast...so I can play Chaos and not choas. I've bought some more halflings (bargain from the states 10 dorra for 20 some I don't have too). I got some Amazons (I want to repaint them and have them as Boudica types)...what else...some Regiment of Renown Orcs.

I'll be buying a Imperial Guard Battalion soon for my Wargames British Line (60). And a Warhammer Orc Battalion.

I am pretty much going to sell everything bar space marines, cadians, orcs, and bretonnians. Everything thats plastic and I probably can't give away I'll break up and use as bases.

I spent 1 day putting up shelves for my warhammer last week (literally a whole day) and I still need more space. As it has to compete with books and LPs I am downsizing.

Neil; yes I like them...I have a few spare so I might get another box of perry (great value) and get 20 rough riders.

I've spent yet more money buying some Tamiya Colour Spray (yellow for marines and cadians, and green for orks). A cheap mans airbrush hopefully. Not sure if I still need to undercoat though.

What else? It is sooo freaking hot here I am actually worried my sprays might explode (its like 38c outside...and I am basically in a glass case of a sauna). Yes my models are now at work, and I realised the folly of this about 20mins ago when my boss walked by.

Luckily he didn't see but I realized pretty quick it was a bit daft.

Oh....and as you can see I am way beyond my gaming budget and I am actually using my budget for a boiler for my new flat.

Yes that's right...I am sacrificing hot water for this hobby.

Sounds like your having fun though true scale minis are tiny , so good job on the red coats. i might have a look at this poor mans air brush

well as you said you fear your spray cans might explode from the heat in your flat... the least thing you need now seems to be hot water... then again plastic soldiers is also not a big number on anyones most wanted list...at least on those that are still sane...arhhh heck stuff sanity and we want to see some pics matey^^

didn´t knew that catholics are such a big group where your currently living...ha you live , you read dakka and you learn something new , each day^^

vik

Do you want 2 RT techs for him as icant find any backpacks to fit them?

Lovely stuff going on here, I want to start an Napolionic 40k army myself, been looking around on the net and stumbled on this beauty. The Perry dismounted dragoons look bigger than victrix stuff is this true? How do the dismounted dragoons compare to GW stuff. I know victrix is fairly small in comparison to GW stuff. Good work, keep it going!

Hi Giant Peanut!

Sorry about the late reply.

Yes. There is a clear difference between the Victrix and the Perry stuff in terms of size. Perry are far similar to GW models, they are just a little taller and thinner (as they are also true scale). I'll take a photo of the dismounted dragoons next to some GW tonight and try and post it tomorrow.



Everyone else....man. The last month has been exhausting. I've taken on a blind puppy (Justice) who was about to be put down. Plus we have our lab, who is back in school (with the puppy). Real work is died down significantly (on account of a difference of opinion with my sort of boss).

So what have i done?

Well. Not a lot. I have a lot of yellow marines. And a lot of green orcs. Now i just need to paint them.

The IG Napoleions are troublesome.

Think I will revert to one model at a time, not mass producing.

hey nice to have you back!

sounds a bit like the burnt out syndrome...know that pretty well........

I've taken on a blind puppy (Justice) who was about to be put down.

very heroic! thats instant karma points for you^^ i send some of my own to you too^^ (for clarification, this is not sarcasm!)

have a lot of yellow marines. And a lot of green orcs.

sounds like a recipe^^ now start the chopping and the cooking^^


vik

Please don't haha!

He is currently in the stage of lying in his own pee, and walking in his own poop. he is only 4 weeks old. Really should still be with his mum...

Luckily we have a big dum lab already to look after him :-)

And thanks for the welcome back...it has been too long!

And I am definitely burnt out.

Seriously. I went exploring in the jungle on the weekend...awesome...swam in lakes and rivers that were crystal clear...sadly, like the englishman I am, I did this at midday in the troppics without sunscreen.

ouch....i think you look like a nice piglet now? with that pinkish look to the skin? the crystal clear water sort of must also have worked as a lense...grilled britts^^ on your menu somehwer near you^^

he is only 4 weeks old.

now i understand the blind part better... unsusual to have a dog in that age being to be put away...well is that how they react in the philpiens to the strayed animals? instant death...cruel but i think i can understand that from some footage i have seen from there...and if he is only four weeks old...well what else is to be expected of him... far to little to be expected to have self control... actually he still needs a milkgiving mum to look after him...gosh i cant underatnd how some men could kill a living being that any normal men would jsut coo over and over about...

Just when I finally get some free time I discover the greatness of battlestar galactica.

Anyway.

GF away for 10days straight. I have to stay in the whole time to watch the blind puppy, and big dog. So...I hope to finally finish some models...which is good because those (60) Praetorain want to bes arrived.

well have a big shovel beside your desk and your good to go^^

sounds like a plan !

I have 110 non-napoleonic Imperial Guardsmen to paint.

They are all lined up on my table. Before I commit to painting everyone of them what do people think of the scheme I showed a page or so ago? Yellow jacket, grey trousers, and bone white armour?


I have 88 Napoleonic Imperial Guard to finish.
62 Praetorians.
38 Albions.
14 Sisters of Battle
155 Space Marines
15 Tanks
3 Planes
12 Bikes
4 Dreads.
149 Orcs Fantasy
83 Orcs 2nd Edition 40k
57 Bretonnians
107 Halflings
67 Misc.

I liked that scheme - sorta like the rebel comandos in return of the Jedi. Reminded me of anyway.

Awesome. If you like it its the scheme!

Watch this space! Congrats btw!

M

yep its a good scheme , matey.

I ACTUALLY DID SOME PAINTING LAST NIGHT!

Hazah! Along the scheme mentioned yesterday. I did some work on redcoat halflings too.

The scheme for the IG is now: Yellow Jacket, Bone White Armour, Khaki or Grey Trousers, khaki or black or red gun, Granite boots.

Felt good to actually do some work on my models....first in so long. Nothing finished. Though I did mess around with something...but not until i have finished the guard on the table.

There are a few models missing there...

but progress of a tsorts.

looks choasy and ogryn....what will it be?
to keep motivated at painting with such a big amount of minis on the desk is no small achievment!!

stay hungry for painted minis and show us some closeups^^

vik, keeper of the flame^^

Lovely mini manny! , is that a dog head on him?

nope looks like the trollhead from LotR...
