Ohh, what a friendly looking gribbly it's turned out to be

and i have an imagination thats from time to time really good situated in the gutter^^

A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waist

lol...i am already wasted^^ well at 06:00 in the morning anyways^^

I've succeeded in making port wine - I'm fairly well wasted too - aand shortly to be in the gutter!

lol after a rather good measure of port that wouldn´t be too surprising^^...will this be leaving headaches in the morning? port can be quite heavy...

I expect so... 2 glasses and I'm considering early night. More fabulous wart-encrusted mutants to come soon

How do you make port?

Sail until you hit a dock.

Lol-tastic... but I did it buy adding suger syrup to my normal grape juice wine and then adding a special yeast that ferments up to 18% alcohol - they sell it in all good brewing departments

Why not just mix white lightening with Ribena?

At christmas I got a little typsy and mistook a bottle of port for wine. Me and my cousin had several wine glasses...

....and I felt like death the next day.

I disaprove of white lightening - thats not to say I didnt drink it as a teenager of course! Mixed with cheap beer if I remember right. You can actually ferment ribena and make a passable blackcurrent wine!! - I have three blackcurrant bushes now so in a year or maybe two I will have the real thing.

Port is like wine for people with an enormous alcohol tolerance. I find it best to stick to just a couple of glasses not the whole bottle - and woe betide anyone mixing it - used to get back from the club with a few drunk friends in tow and they would say 'can we have some of your incredibly strong wine' next day they would regret my generosity... and that was just the 14% stuff

Port is the nectar of the gods and should be treated with due reverence. IMHO there is no other fruit based drink that has the same power to warm on a cold day. Best used in a hip flask at rugger matchs or straight from the bottle if you are classy like what I am.

Looking forward to seeing those Space Pirates painted.

Well as an antidote to all the alcohol flowing round these parts, I'm enjoying some tea (unfortunately from the work supply tetley I think) from this excellent mug that I just received.

Cheers weety

No worries - and thankyou for the ammo belt - will try and get that fixed together soon.

i always thought the best antidote for hangups was doing the same thing as before the hangup...so carry on with drinking what you last drank...

dont you mean HANGOVER

LOL....

for you miss dee...and i even saw the movie called hangover...

Well I suffer more from hang-ups than hangovers so I'd be innterested in a cure if you've got one vik

Yeh me too , anyone got a cure for obssesively collecting minis.

my dad used to give me a slap behind the ears... but that is out of the question these days... so no hope here in these lands i guess...

Long time no updates... I think I lost track of time. Its been a week of digging in the cold wind and feeble march sunshine. Sooo tired, think I might be out of shape - but we are making the other allotment owners look lazy!

Gitsplittas mug will be glazed soon - Just waiting to hear what colours he wants.

Here is my new monster - I love his four eyes!!


And here is what came through the post - vallejo wash set! should encourage me to paint more

More hot off the press - done with the new washes - they are a bit more subdued than GW - great coverage though

Chainsaw warrior dude - leader of the mercenary troop

ooh nice , those washes are very cool , love his face , hair could be a difeent colour imho , but strill looks da bomd as it were. and good on you and your allotment excersise routine . maybe i should start jogging again....... btw how much were the washes?

13.50 plus 2.95 postage, hardly a bargin but its fairly hard to get washes cheaper - here is a link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200543317450&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

eight washes for that price beats GW washes anytime of the day in my purse...

the commander looks really good tho i have to say a grey hairdo would give him a better air of leadership...(me going grey to would underline that anyday^^)

the monster is one heck of a positive monster... he looks a bit as if he is one of the characters of these sad and lovley creatures of the monsters ltd movie form back a few years^^

cheers, vik

Another cheerful gribbly for the clan Eyes are cool, the wash blending on the arms looks a little sharp though. Chainsaw warrior looks good, nice freehanding again. The colours suit him better than the traditional green/camo he normally gets done in too.

I tend to agree about the blue hair - but I probably wont get around to doing anything about it - I prefer to move swiftly on. I see what you mean about monsters inc victor! they are a bit like that!!

I hate painting things in a traditional way; when I was young I would slavishly copy the 'eavy metal colour scheme but these days I'm trying to be experimental. Its more interesting and if it wasn't interesting I would surely give up.

Yep, I never could get into painting my guys the same as everyone else, where's the fun in that?
But for some reason everytime I pick up a chainsaw warrior I just think 'green'. That's the real reason they've stayed unpainted all this time, nothing to do with my laziness at all.

if i was ever into ultra marinesi would probably jsut buy them painted... i think this will never ever happen^^ ...
so i am all for individuality and going for a special look for ones army...after all i think it would be the pinacle of boredom on a table if bloodangel against bloodangel would have to fight...

How about Night Lords using Blood Angel rules?

Im surprised MT hasn't poped over and had a look.

whos MT?

I lost track of the rules back in 1995 so I don't really know?

I've painted an old rogue trader female imperial trooper up as an orlock ganger. She looks good - pics in the morning when the sun comes up
