LOL... i have no idea how to do that... but well... kinda cool... nostalgia and so on^^

so you think i should gun it up a treat... hmmm... i will experiment on this^^

Nah, you play Hordes, and use that one faction that's basically Nids. Heck, they have a Scythed Somethingorother that's literally a slightly resculpted Carnifex...

well... here you see it now with just the iceblue basecoat...

it is already looking way more further down the finishing line...

more pics tomorrow...




cheers, vik

Nice blue vik.

You should also join the attack competition, you can recycle one of your previous blimps, just mod it to have been popped and being zipped forward by the escaping gasses.

That blue chills me to the bone

Haha..all cartoon-like

Now just build one of these to go with it

thanks about the blue... that was the intention...!

and LOL... that must be the most expensive base decoration i have ever seen... that is the new khrone thingabob i saw in the apocalypse newsletter... and if i would suddenly win in the lottery...well...

Yep, the Khorne Rock-em-sock-em pull along toy

That is excessive for base decoration.. and the shelf of unopened minis.. who does that?!

I think that from one of those painting services, kind of recognize the shelving from one of their posts.

It was from BoLs fb link.

air dry clay sculpted entrance door...


and the raygun...:



and then i want to show you the almost completed E.G. Generator...






and with lightshow...



next...snowflakes^^


cheers, vik

Getting a little FO3 vibe from the steampunk tower of death with the entrance door and dish-like appearance of the ray. But once you've painted it, it will be perfect.

Egg of doom is also looking good. Look forward to snow.

I like the Glowy Eldar egg, looks great, it should be standered gear for any Eldar army dispatched to dark and gloomy planets, or ones with no natural light.
This includes planets where the people in charge have forgotten to pay their electric bill .

Looking good ViK! The egg webway generator thing is great. Are you planning on giving the gun emplacement the same paint scheme?

as I am still heavy involved with new vegas I think a bit always creeps in in everything I do... so probably heavilöy influenced you may say^^...

lol... yeah... tho... if the bills aren´t paid for... how would they operate the generator...? well of course if it is an energy generator...
if ever GW rings at my door... how much do you think I should sell my soul for?

dsteingass wrote:Looking good ViK! The egg webway generator thing is great. Are you planning on giving the gun emplacement the same paint scheme?

I was thinking about that too... as it also has a strong Eldar vibe going on... but it is meant to be steampunky... and I recently got me a big can of metal paint... that I wanted to use...I am totally torn...

Steampunk eldar, you could start a whole new trend. The dark eldar boats would look great under a blimp .

There's something creepy and organic about the gun. Maybe like a vertical version of the one from alien. I really like it!

You know what Vik, all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't have put that that egg together any better... That's the Humpty Dumpty of eggstraordinary terrain.

I'm with Graven, it definitely has that organic alien feel - plus it's pretty phallic (but then again all 'big' guns are), so would fit a Tyranid theme in my book... Still, I have faith in your Vik Style to make this work...

put down the video game and get back to work .

This is why the eldar are a dying race, they asked vik to build a gateway device that would save their kind, but then the chaos gods were able to create video games, and now the eldar have no means o escape.

*looks behind him* "damn... i have been watched..."

er....


yet^^...

the snowy base is still not snowy... but i have beein working on something...new...yeah... again full swing of hobby ADD... it really is such a scourge of hobby life if you have only two braincells and when you smash them together each time you have a new idea...

the current project is meant to be for the current comrade panda and ruglud comp... something fast...

i will show you tomorrow what i have been up to... maybe then i mihgt be able to actually show you a complete build...one never knows

fear not... the mojave has not captured me whole... my soule is still owned by dakka^^

cheers, vik

Lies.. mojave is da best

by the way.... has any of you americans some indepth info as to what actually a sunset sarsaparilla would taste like??? i have no idea...

I think sasparillas taste a bit like root beer, but I'm not sure. It's been a really long time since I've had one.

so.... it is actually a real drink? a bit like the nukka cola is...but not really real?... i have drank so many already ingame that this question is really bugging me more than where i get my next bullet

Yes, similar to root beer, but still unique. Might be more like the birch beer that we had recently as birch oils was how they made it back in the old west.
