It is crazy bright over white, so I always dull it down with some nice brown ink to keep the shine. Chestnut gives it a freaking lovely orangy old tarnished feel too, you should try it out!

I'll have to give that a go for sure looks very nice, just need to pick up some white undercoat, chestnut ink and a willing horse

Thanks Iffy and the burger looks superb

Deffo try it My only problem with liquid gold is how difficult it can be to apply, I find it very hard to control! But it takes ink like a miracle, and I sure do use a reason to use my old GW ink collection ;D

So I think this guy is done for the night now. I have eaten myself to exhaustion and can't continue. I will start on his base tomorrow, and rider ofc! Tyrion won't know what hit him.





Hnnnrrghh

What was in that tasty burger? I see patty, tomato... egg???

Patty is mince, cumin, chillies, red onion, capsicum pepper, ginger, paprika and garlic, then theres beef tomato, cucumber, fried egg, bacon, and some super strong red Irish cheddar.

Thats how I roll.

My God!

That is one horse taking himself very seriously indeed.

Is your Flag Italy Ifalna? Just wondering why you might be wearing a kilt and eating potatoes.

Minus the cucumber, that is sounds amazing!


The horse is far more interesting to look at lol, but only because I can't eat it so it'll last longer.

Tyrion, Rogue Wolves, not Trygon - you know, poncy High Elf with a sword? Has a brother who is a little bit obsessive when it comes to magic?

As for what's in the burger:

Lets see... cheese, bacon, pepper-infused burger, egg, tomato... and maybe thin sliced cucumber at the very bottom??

South-West Burger Extraordinaire' !

... that would give me a heart-attack after the third bite.

Totes Ireland, though I have shaved my winter beard now that the days are getting warmer.

I have 2 trygons downstairs, don't tempt me. Little Tyrion is here right now and about to get painted. He will have many bling.

That sounds like a challenge.

I have his poncy brother somewhere, very old paintjob. I was given him for free because his head is miscast to the point where one side is higher than the other. It was only noticeable on his hat after I painted him but its still hilarious. Is there a new model for him? I recall the one I had being pretty awfully clunky.

Should I post updates of Tyrion every 30 minutes or so again? I'm not sure if it counts as spammy or interesting.

Go ahead iffy... it's obviously a slow day for everyone.

Interesting Spam! Much like spam, pineapple, and cheese on English muffins... a staple of a young Alfndrate... Which is funny because I hate spam now.

I say post pics when you want, Dakka is a little slow today

I am totally impressed that you managed to perfectly guess the contents from the picture, you are a true burger connoisseur!

So I am ready to go. Netflix on the PC, housework done, supplies ready -



and a poor stripped Tyrion who has previously had one of the worst paint jobs I've seen, ready to be redeemed.



I am going to get the gold on first to prevent having to touch up everything else as it is so very messy.

Cue the poncy High Elf theme music...

Do you have a link to that Dysartes.......??

ooooh TYRION, whoops... well cant waite to see him painted, he's going to look awsome!

Rogue Wolves wrote:ooooh TYRION, whoops... well cant waite to see him painted, he's going to look awsome!

I hope so!

Looking at him in detail I can see he suffers from " old metal model" syndrome, where a lot of his details are far less crisp than they should be, like his chainmail and some armor areas. The chainmail isint deep enough to even take a wash, so I will have to see how it goes. I am sure he will regardless end up in nicer shape then when he arrived!

Golds on and ink down, waiting on washes to dry now and onto metal highlighting.



Doing gold first was indeed wise, as it is so sloppy to get down. I can tidy it up no problem as I start painting detail.

He's an extra in the medieval version of "A Chorus Line".

He's the Tonto to the Horsey Lone Ranger.

That, or someone stole the Chaos lavatory he was sat on...

ya sure your not PREGGERS?

Doubts are setting in about Tyrion.



He has some really severe issues, much worse than I anticipated when I started painting him. Terrible grain problems in his metal, especially around his chest and face, not possible to file it as it would mean filing down either his entire face, or all his surviving chest detail. You can see all the gribbly bits along side the helmet around his face.

I know he is preowned but Im starting to think the original owner went at him with a pin vice in an act of sadism. Plan was to sell this once finished but he is in too bad condition to not put him up for cheap to be honest. I am enjoying painting him anyway though, so Ill take that from it at least

And no, Dee, definnnnnnnnnnnitely not.

After having a good zoom in I see what you mean, poor Tyrion.

You don't look the same without your beard Iffy

Poor guy indeed, shame as he is really starting to look rather nice, but there is no way I can think of to fix the damage to the areas around his head. :(

I may grow it back at some point if it gets chilly again. It's clearly an impressive power all Irish have.




Red, gems, and sword to go. Oh Tyrion, you are making me sad, dude. Sad sad sad.

He appears to be being invaded by a squid or jellyfish in that last picture - and not in a good way...

Thats his little tentacle friend, you aren't meant to comment on it.
