Beautiful work Damo... Fantastic work on the eye which is such a good counter to the red. A+ mate!

Love it! The writing is uniform and neat, and the highlights on the model itself are really smooth and fluent. Great as always Nerdfest!

That guy is awesome. Man, I wish I can do eye lens like those.

One day nerdy, you will have to get your ass over here and stay at my place for a week or so.
We´ll play rpg and 40k all days long and we´ll both use our very best looking minis and make lots of high quality battle reports showing of all kinds of minis, builds and strategies.

I just have to convince you to take the trip, preferably sometime before we get old and senile since that would severely affect the quality of the batreps.

Oh wow, that would be incredible!

That sounds amazingly cool! Once I get my trip to America done with Kristy then I'll use my powers of Nerd charm to basically tell her i'm off to Goblinburg for a week! lol and don't worry it will be before we're old and senile! I couldn't think of anything cooler than playing a game with out armies and producing IA quality photo's and bat reps! and just imagine how huuuge our forces will be in 12 months or so! now i just need to get my painting mojo on again and keep painting! i've ransacked a box I found and hiding inside was 10 Necron warriors,3 scarab swarms, 1 destroyer and a Necron lord so it looks like I'll be doing a small Necron force now as well! not a bad start for nothing!

then I'll use my powers of Nerd charm to basically tell her i'm off to Goblinburg for a week!

Or you could simply try to just be a man and simply go

Anyway, dont take to long, preferably this year

LOL!

Ah Nerdy... skewered on the poignard of Pyriel's "wit".

That is some GREAT Airbrush work there Nerd!!

Thanks Dave, coming from you that's big praise! :-) your terrain just looks perfect when you whip out the 'ol airbrush! whereas I kinda go 'a bit of dark ... here,.....aaaaand a bit more here.....presto!....' I haven't done any more work on the pods since those pics! it feels like ages ago now! I really need to stop enjoying the feeling of buying models and actually get back to painting them lol!

It can get annoying cleaning the AB between colors...but I have found that the gravity feed cup makes it much easier to change colors without stopping. WIndex in a spray bottle really helps, but I find that my spray regulator gets caked, when that happens, you really have to stop and clean. I'm going to order one of those little ab cleaning bubble things, see if that helps speed up the cleaning any.

Then you are in luck since you have a big shipment of minis, vehicles and um, tubes coming your way. Got you a small army to paint up for your red marines.

You just became my favorite person in the whole wide world! imagine a big virtual hug coming your way and i'm wearing my shower cap!



...... Oh god that sounds weird........ even for me!

Too.... much..... information....

And yet he didnt even mention any bubbly bathtubs...

or bath salts

I can if you want? perhaps when I skype you I'll be in the bath? whatever you feel's appropriate? :-)

i think that kinda action in the us costs money and im poor

:| I thought this thread cannot be anymore awkward. But I am looking forward to IA-level pictures of your army NF.

...or sponges.

sponges and cheese cake...

Hi everyone! So sorry for the hiatus lately, as some know my work has been crazy lately and hasn't given me any time to do anything I want to, so no painting time and miserable weather hasn't helped either

But, I have been 'collecting' models just obtaining things i want to paint up and show you all soon! I'm waiting on a few to arrive in the mail but i have assembled a few and got them ready so here's some pics of some without paint for you, it'd be nice to see what you all would like to see painted first?

Relic Contemptor Dreadnought






Assembled my Sternguard squad finally after receiving my bolters from FW, i'm happy with the simplicity of them still conveying their standing within the force, I think the FW boarding helmets and the box magazine scoped bolters coupled with them all having matching studded pads looks veteran enough?



And lastly today some shots of my fledgling Necron force I was given these models by jirc a while ago and only recently found them again and considered another army, I wanted to add to the whole undead in space theme and i removed the Necron heads and replaced them with skulls I found on ebay at the same scale! it really gives the models some needed dynamism and silent undead robots with screaming leering faces is even more scary imo i'm still contemplating a scheme but i've been inspired by leohart and am thinking a bone colour for the main colour with black and metal spot colour and red lenses!





That's it atm, I'll really try and paint again soon! don't forget me I'm still Dakka-ing at work so I'm not entirely out of the loop yet!

catch you soon.

Lemme just say Nerdfest, that that Relic Contemptor is KICK
A$$$$$$$$$$$$!
I almost always invisage dreadnoughts being hulky and slow, then the comtemptors made them seem a wee bit quicker, and this is a fantastic dynamic pose that shows the true deadliness of thesse war machines, fantastic! Great work as always Nerdfest ;P

Thanks LDP! good to see you, you're right these models really give them some speed and great scope for modeling sweet poses :-) it was bloody tricky to assemble though with no instructions and super glue that sets when you're trying to pose him!

I can't wait to paint him up, but I'll see what everyone thinks i should do first! :-)

I love the skulls on those necrons Damo... fantastic idea!

They work quite well don't they Gits! just something a little different to the norm :-) at first i thought they were just a fraction small, but on the warriors they look good! the paint will be the real test though to see how it comes together!

what do you reckon I paint first from the assembled collection?

Consider how much "marine fatigue" you've got. If you need a big mental break, paint the 'crons. If you need a smaller one, the dread. If you're "in the zone" for painting marines... do the sternguard.

Make your creativity and/or fatigue work for you rather than trying to force it. You'll get better results that way.

Well, since i've been on an unintentional break I might use the Crons to get my brush on! and ease myself back into it! who knows i might get inspired and start buying more! :-) lol

Nice work, nerdfest. I like the pose on the Contemptor very much. I think the skulls on the Necrons are interesting. How do you plan to paint them?

I need an airbrush, anyone wanna donate? On to more serious matters, as always your work is friggin awesome. Ill admit, I see your painting skills, and it makes me want to improve my Orks by leaps and bounds. Which obviously sucks because I dont have to repaint 20 or so and call it good, I get to repaint 80 boyz........and THEN the rest of the army Oh well, thanks for stealing my free time ya jerk
