Matey the retinue are looking so good.

I know you're going back to them after tomorrow but for the time frame and the leaks you've done yourself proud.

So looking forward to seeing them tomorrow.

I love Vendrake so much, I so wish I'd come up with him! Great power fist too.

Socrates - The robes are so good. He looks like he has small man syndrome.

Chiron - He is such a bruiser! Man can you paint green. His stymm suit looks the business and the colours fit in nicely with the Famorian

Catch you in the morning

**mullet_steve**

did you ever finish your purity seal manufacotium? I had a quick look through your gallery but I'm sneaking some time here from work and can't scan though all 1700 images

**LilLoser**

Be-yah-ewt-ifal!

(read phonetically, should sound like a pronounced beautiful.)

Gorgeous stuff. Just enthralling.

**Rogue Wolves**

wow neil you went above and beyond on this crew, stunning work as always! and i love the serpent/servoskull guy, i can picture him crawling around somewhere in blanche's mind

**neil101**

Thanks guys . Cant stop long its Bailey's Birthday jsut wanted to share a pic and a few words about the inquivitational event by molotov .

Had a wonderful day so many tales to tell of the great gaming minis and folks ! more information over at the ammobunker http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7575005/1/#new

and mols blog http://inq28.blogspot.co.uk/

here is a pic of The famorian failing to do any damage whatsoever to the Pdh's Crusader who just about managed to slither back up after been shot in the chest by that evil tracker mister coop! I imagined him doing sissy hand slaps on that huge shield whilst he squinted head turned into his shoulder .

**Scarper**

They look breathtaking together Neil! I absolutely love Chiron, for some reason - I think it might be the weathered look and the 'damaged' back story

Socrates came out fantastically too - I wasn't expecting the red hair, but it's a great contrast to the robes. Great job with the white! I personally think Vendrake is looking a little flat at the moment - I wouldn't usually say, as I know you were rushing to get him done in time, but I also know the amazing standard your paintjobs can reach (still blown away by that ogryn!), and I think the character and mini you've made deserve the extra mile!

Great skin tone on Soeul - totally fits the astropath 'off' feel. Amazing all round, in short!

Hope the INQvitational was as incredible as you were expecting - incredibly jealous that you got to go! I'll have to check Mol's blog when I get a chance.

Any chance off that fluff for Cercropian that you were mentioning?

Say happy birthday to Bailey for me, hope he's had a great day!

**Viktor von Domm**

well congratz ti bailey´s birthday!

hope he had a huge fun day!

and the gang had it´s first real fight ... now that is very cool indeed...!!!

**neil101**

hey folks just letting everyone know i have put up a blog about The inquivitational if anyone is interested .. Its over at

http://opusmaius.blogspot.co.uk/

or just click the link in my sig.. I will update with pics here when I write vendrakes story about the event.

@ Scarper Cheers mate thanks for the crits, I agree that Vnedrake is a bit flat , soon as i get chance I will try and rectify that, I like Socrates robes also , it was the first time i had highlighted white up from a darker colour , I will do that more often now .

The Inquivitational was amazing mate , so wish you could have been their , would love to see your minis off the net. still plenty of time for that to happen.

the event was cool mate , thanks !

@ VikAye vik bj is still waiting on his present , a new pc , so i get mine back ..;-)

The gaming was fun, but I was pants !! but now I don't have that as an excuse any more.

Cheers guys ..

**Viktor von Domm**

Aye up folks..

Just about to start another terrain project..

this time going for a contemporary /classic necro board. For a change this board is going to see some gaming action .. so it has to be transportable fairly easily ..picked up a few bits and ordered some more .. will updates as I progress..

will also be adding a mutie gang..

@ HF cheers matey socrates base is the ad mech techprist from forgeworld

**Rogue Wolves**

interested in seeing what you do with those de!

**dsteingass**

WOW! Man there is almost no trace of what original minis/bitz you used!! That is a real Hollywood Model-maker's secret.."Never let the audience figure out how you did it".

You are truly a master Neil!

However...this terrain idea of yours has me riveted! (pun intended) I seem to vaguely recall building some Necromunda Terrain of my own

Please define what you mean by Contemporary vs. Classic 'Munda Terrain, spill the beans man!

**Perkustin**

Seeing those pics of you and PDH having a game makes me well jealous.

Love the fully painted gang shot. They have a good range of colour to them and are more united by painting style than simple colour imo. It's interesting you went for a more functional look to Vendrake, the olive drab (Drab as in the colour, not an insult) makes him look like a very taciturn character. Is there more background behind this?

I have been absent from the P&M scen for too long, and away from this thread for too long. Had a slightly frustrating experience with the infinity painting comp which put me off hobbying for a bit. Started a new project today, look forward to your input when i revive my blog.

EDIT. Remember those uruk hai will be pretty short, unless of course you are going for 'Small man syndrome' cyber gladiators

. Which i know somehow you'd pull off!

EDIT. thanks for the mention in your blog mate! made me all misty eyed.

**neil101**

Hey folks , just small update .. managed to get around to listing Tor Gillead on ebay today .. not asking folks to bid or anything though.. its collection only .. too big to post easily..

put it rather cheap as I want a quick sale .. if it does not sell I will scrap it as I need the space.. recycle the plastics though..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/wargame-warhammer-fantasy-battle-40k-terrain-scenery-games-workshop-WFB-/261050900106?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item3cc7d89e8a

in other news picked up some 3mm mdf for basing the necro stuff.

@ DST Hey Dave, Your far too kind mate

keep it up

about the Munda stuff .. well you are the go to guy for munda , so expect me to come stealing ideas when i get into the gritty work mate..

With contemporary /classic , that's just me being pretentious again

I saw a nail painting in the art gallery and thought i like that should make a game board with a similar style.. combine it with classic sci fi tropes splash a bit of blanche weirdness and bobs your uncle.. a Pandoricalle hive board .. don't want to give too much away yet as i am not sure myself the direction I am going in tbh.. but I am trying to keep contemporary and classic as the theme, maybe weird board shape . mixed with classic munda paint theme. or maybe slightly baroque .. decaying splendour .. with sump seas thrown in.. watch a few sci movies for inspiration , eden log being the most obvious.. with a healthy dose of dead space 2 for now..

@rogue.. me too mate no plan as suche no big changes though , the board will be the main focus for me the cult will be there to provide 28mm sense to things..

@Perkustin , Hey matey . your welcome about the shout out mate.. have missed most of your recent writing , just haven't had the patience I used to have with blogging and tinternet..look forward to catching up with your stuff..
the Uruk hai are smallish .. same size-ish as death korps eleysians though.. so no biggee there , but the deldar are really tall so the orcs will be juves now ..

and i will probably add a few goliaths for heavies to add variation ..

**Vitruvian XVII**

Dude if youre gonna scrap it let me know and ill pay whatever it costs for the shipping!

Theres no way something that cool should get destroyed.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hell, if you cant be arsed just scrap it and ill pay for the pieces

**Scarper**

I didn't realise Tor Gillead was the terrain you were eBaying?! That's a real shame, it's a great piece of scenery - I hope you get a great price for it, and it gets the use it deserves in its new home

Still, more space means more space for new projects! Looking forward to your vision of the underhive.

**dsteingass**

The hell you are gonna scrap that!

**neil101**

@Vit ha ha ha .. do you know a man with a van ;-)

@scarpper BJ thinks I should get p&p rates and do international sales to maximise my profit margins , think I will hire him as my manager when he leaves school.

more space .. clear desk clear head .. clutter stresses me out . even though i am so very messy .

@dst I hope I don't have to , but to be honest I am not a possessions type of a guys , and miss101 hates clutter..

surprised its lasted this long to be honest.. just feel like having de clutter and making some cash towards the new project as opposed to it costing me both time and money . only to be sold off half price in a few months time when I come up with the next money burning brainwave.

**dsteingass**

Whatever..just Don't scrap it..please! I have space for it!

**prototype_X**

So do I. right now I'm resisting the pull, but I dont know If I can.......

**Rogue Wolves**

dsteingass wrote:Whatever..just Don't scrap it..please! I have space for it!

If it comes down to you having to scrap it (for some reason i accedently read scrap as Scarp..) , being that you are you, im sure something equally if not more cool will come from it

**Vitruvian XVII**

Damn! Unfortunately even if i knew a man with a van (or could persuade a willing family member lol) leeds is too far

**Viktor von Domm**

ouch.... well i have now you as a seller and your stuff bookmarked.... so i will be watching this stuff closley.... i hope those go well and give you plenty of new cash.... a real shame if those great models wouldn´t pay off.... not putting a too fine point on selling them at all.... heartblood comes to my mind...

**izeColt**

Darn! It will be a real shame if you end up putting that fine piece of art in to pieces. You sure there's no hobby dungeon anywhere near you who'd be interested in buying this?

**neil101**

Hey folks, managed to sell the Tor .. and with the space that it left i filled with another terrain project..

Spoiler:

**Rogue Wolves**

you've out done yourself this time neil, this peice is incredible!

JB

Holy sweet area terrain of the Emperor!!

That is a nice looking piece!

**weetyskemian44**

I assume the tin foil is going to be trimmed back and is just part of the water effect process. The one tiny photo you've teased us with looks amazing, realistic water/sludge effect it looks so swampy and full of algae.

looking forward to those close up finished piece shots.

**Viktor von Domm**

now that is what i call a yucky lake... and no mistake... never saw such a realistic green transition...hopefully you show us more soon!!!
