Update time again!

Thawn is now done!
His whacky adventures can now continue!
Here are the pictures of the final results.

A slight discoloration on the cloth next to the pole, something that isn't actually visible in real life. god dang it.
You can see that the Weapon is clearly of halberd length, which is really the only reason for the actual halberds to grant +2 Init. The sword with the inquisition mark just looks to dang cool.




Two pictures in slightly different light. As I still do not have a photobox, this is what happens.
I am very happy with hoe the T came out in the end, I had set my sights on a more complex pattern but eventually settled with this simplistic design as I realized my own limits. I played it fairly safe and I think is was a success.

Dreadnought is ready to be primed, I greenstuffed a mustache/ beard combo and gave him a headlight to act as a monocle. I think that the headlight is a nice touch as it lends a bit of credibility as to the presence of a monocle in the first place.


I then managed to succeed in sculpting a beautiful and smooth top hat to go with the overall gentlemanly style of this ancient warrior/ lover/ dashing fellow.
It is however not primed, so the plastic rim looks a bit funky at the moment, but it will all work out in the end.


@A1rebirth: Darn it, that weirdboy is proving to be quite a challenge, of both execution and concept. Please bear with me.
And yes, this dreadnought will kick so much ass that Khorne wont be able to sit straight for weeks.

@SelvaggioSaky: Indeed, I have learnt more English from reading him than I ever have from school. I have about 35 Discworld books in on a shelf in my room, and I'll be darned if I don't manage to break it some day just by sheer weight of words alone.
He has been a great teacher to me, I actually have a B+ in the Cambrige Certificate of Proficiency in English owing to him. He is the reason I write as I do, because I try to emulate his style and fluency in structure; hardest thing I ever tried. But I'm getting there!

@bigfish: Thanks man, but I must admit that I may have made everything sound slightly more heroic than it actually was. Mostly my opponents set up so that charging was difficult and then we just stood and hurled dice at each other... But don't tell any one!


'Til later
DaBedman

P.S. WOOO, PAGE 5!!!!!

HA, the Dred is GREAT! I love the gentlemany feeling of it!
The only things I'd do different would be to work on the mustarche a little more to make it look more...well.... mustachey.....hairy....

and he needs something to smoke! A cigar or a pipe!

This'll be awesome!

Well, I was thinking that since he is a robot, the mustache wouldn't actually be hair, thus not requiring the much more difficult task of getting the texture right.

I will do what I can though with the paintjob, you might be surprised... I may have some plans *taps nose*

Not so sure about the pipe, however. It is something that would suit but I'm not so sure of how to make it and then make it work on the model. I think I'll play it safe. Might add one on later if I get inspired, but I've always been conservative with extra gubbins.

That is going to be one fun dreadnought! Bringing some happiness into the drab and oppressed world of 40k.

i think these greyknights are my favourate, they are just so fun

Great Dred!
I also have all of Terry novels, even Nation and Good Omens (love them a lot)

He will also bring class and politeness, along heavy armament and immeasurable pain.

Thanks man, they're actually my favourite grey knights too
And this blog is so much fun.

I've got those as well, and while they're good they are not as good as some of the Discworld books. There is no real sense of coherency in the world they are set in, not compared to Discworld. Which disappointed me greatly, kind of like how some of the stories in the Grey Knight codex felt detached from the actual universe.

And before you round up the villagers with the pitchforks for even daring to compare such an accomplished writer with the Wardman; I've been thinking about having a go at some of the texts in the codex. To rewrite them as I actually think I can see a working concept behind them, although lost under the bad writing structure.


So what do you guys think, should I take a swing at rewriting the Draigo fluff in my own words, to at the least try to redeem the story in my own eyes?
Do you think I should, do you think I could?

Yes! Draigo is very over the top and I am sure you could add some spice to it!

That kilt is sweet!

That 'nought is awesome, love the hat.

No problem man, im in no rush, Cant wait to see what you come up with though! need an update of that dread!

Back from a LOOOOONG hiatus. Sometimes you just need to take a break from things until enthusiasm comes around again, I'm sure any and all of you have gotten this some time or other.

That is no excuse however for not saying anything for ages, and I beg your forgiveness for that. I am however in this hobby for the long haul so what does a few months here and there matter?

The story so far:
1. I am truly sorry, A1rebirth, but your weirdboy may never get completed. I hope you can live with that, and I hope I can too. This is in part because I sold most of my ork stuff to a friend who was starting up a green tide list, and in part due to me completely blanking out on how to convert it. Seriously, I spent weeks but couldn't settle on anything I liked. I may pick it up at some point, though, but don't quote me on that.

2. The fluff will be restarted. Thawn's story will end with him gearing up. We will never know what happened after that, but he is immortal so I wouldn't worry to much.

3. The new fluff will be a more general outline of the army, from Thawn's perspective.

4. I bought a dreadknight.

5. I bought some Scibor minis.

6. There will be a lot more necrons in the future.

7. I have figured out a way to take somewhat better pictures, as can be seen from my Lord Commissar/ Ordo Xenos Inquisitor dude. Would love some feedback on the photo quality on those.

8. This blog will continue, although the title will change based on the current projects. Please give me suggestions on general titles. Karamazov's Krazy Krew is perhaps not that of a good way to go.

+++++

Pictures and Comments

- I have completed the last of the terminators. I now have a total of 10.

- The LC - Inquisitor pimp guy needs a name. I made him because I wanted to do a silly but high quality paint job, he was a lot of fun to do. 40 points for him and Psychotroke grenades. Sometimes you may want to get just a very cheap HQ on the table and he will be an excellent way to do that while empowering a terminator squad immensely with his LSD grenades.
I am also looking for a way to symbolize the grenades on the model, but that can wait unil I find some cool bitz for that.

- I also did a complete overhaul of the way I do Power Weapons. I now do a blue-white blending that I think comes out very nice, please give me feedback on the new weapons.

- The Moustache-nought is done. I would love to hear you thoughts on that. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback on it in my local GW store.

And now to something completely different; a picture dump. All of them put into spoilers for your convenience.

Dreadnought

Inquisitor

Terminators and the new weapon design


And now some pictures that I took at the "tournament" we played to celebrate 6th edition being released.
It was 750 points, doubles. I played with a dark eldar player and we managed to snag second place actually.

My list was:

Karamazov
5 termies
4 termies + Thawn
----------
750 points


As always, leave a comment and you will recieve an answer. Whatever it is you want to say, feel free to express yourself

Another update will come as soon as I get my scibor minis and get the chance to have a look at them.
It's these, by the way:

Have A GREAT Day, Dakkadakka!

You're back! Yay!

I'm really looking forward to seeing your new fluff, and minis!

I dig the Moustarchenough, love the paintjob! The Inquisitor looks fantastic, dude! Love the "pimp" color choice. Only point of critique: there's a mould line on his arm....

Also digging the new weapon design!

As for the blog's title, I actually liked the Krazy Krew. Keep it.

Oh and that day in the GW store looked like a lot of fun! And I recognize that store !

Keep it coming!

I'll change back the title then.

About the mould line, I tried to make it go away but it is a right pain in the bum to do that on such a delicate piece of cloth.

I didn't want to risk ruining the folds and frankly you can't see the mould line in real life at all, what with looking at it from another angle and all.

No problem man, good to see you back anyway. My orks have been shelved due to them being on the ofther side of the world.... But im about to start a small chaos space marine nurgle army with the new codex on the horizon. I have told my self im buying one unit at a time and no more untill thats converted and painted haha, see how far i make it T_T

THERE WILL BE A MAJOR UPDATE WITHIN THE WEEK!

@A1rebirth: I hear you man, it is very hard to just do one model at a time. I have also longingly looked at nurgle marine lists and the new nurgle stuff but promised myself not to cave in.

In other news, the update will contain pictures of my new stuff whích contain some interesting things such as:
Scibor minis, Victoria Lamb minis, completed Trazyn, repainted necron warriors, battle report, dreadknight and some inquisition warband stuff.

Not much of it have been painted but most importantly I have found my mojo again. Stuff will finally be done!
