Cheers dudes, to be honest i'm really glad you all replied, I was concerned that this platform was dying out and no one would be here anymore! especially after such a hiatus :-) but you all proved my fears unfounded.
I have been playing with my 'poofy' dogs but that's a daily task at my place, and when I haven't been playing with them I've been painting and working as normal. There's probably a bunch of stuff I have done this year but haven't taken pics of so hopefully I can at least try and get on here more again.

I have indeed been playing around painting up terrain for Necromunda and even started painting a new gaming board design for it. More to come soon.

Hi guys, I thought i'd pop in and show you a new model I know I've been m.i.a this year but that's due to a multitude of things going on and not least that fact that the models that I've been painting pretty much consistently have been my normal pretty standard style and level which I kinda think you would get sick of nothing really new, same metals, same reds, same colours.
I want to start to post again but only show things I have learnt or pushed myself on or new techniques I stumble across, that being said I wanted to make a decent Ambot model look like a mix of the ABC Warrior from Judge Dredd had a baby with a tonka truck

I now present the D-16Y Soichiro pattern Mining and personal protection automata,

Nice conversion, I always thought that the ambots looked very ABC warrior like...
If I recall correctly, the one in the Stalone film is based off of Hammerstein, who had a hammer for a hand, perhaps a future conversion?

How bright are these!? well, very Just finished up these very unique Tau models for a mate of mine to fill out his force I have done a bunch of his big robot suits previously but I'm sure not everyone will remember them, these bulk it out nicely and were painted the same layering/wash style I used before. I have been informed that I have numerous troop choices still to look forward too.

hope you are all doing o.k and still keeping the dream alive with your own models

My thought as well, still well done make them acceptable. I think it works well on the troops and non robot figs.
Great opportunity to paint clean lines without painting marines.

Thanks guys, you always buoy my sprits, I'm honestly happy that I have a fixable issue as I've been struggling with my painting and how my eyes feel, especially looking back at past models I've done and I know that I can paint like that but couldn't work out why it was taking me longer to get a result I was happy with.
Hopefully by February I'll be much more focused

Late to the party but I love the Ambot!

And tau. And the drwaves, which annoyingly remind me that I still need to paint up one half of the Battle for Skull Pass - goodness knows how long I have had them primed

Good luck with the eyes, sounds a total pain

Thanks for sharing

Count 'em, 2 (two) Leviathan Dreadnoughts ready to spill blood and collect skulls for the Blood God! first thing i've done for my Khorne army in a long while, hopefully it'll spur me on to finish the army up soon! I ran out of varnish so the decals look a bit crappy but it shall be fixed, I was just excited to show you stuff again I've got some Flesh Hounds to paint up that look pretty enticing!

I love Leviathans, and especially converted Leviathans, and especially especially converted Chaos Leviathans

These lads don't disappoint, plus I appreciate how understated the CHAOS! levels are. I could have used maybe some spikes on shooty boi #2, but I can see he's more about wearing his trophies as a tasteful bonnet than he is slapping them up top where they can get blasted off. Makes sense, when you think about it.

Awesome work Nerdy. Like the added bits and glad you didn't go overboard.

Curious does the base have a Las cannon on it?... And it seems to stick out way past the base. Kinda makes it harder to place on the tabletop?
