@ Neil! Yep its a cavetroll...part of my major swap from Christmas. I can't start another army, so what I might do is make him a Ogryn bonehead, or make him part of a necromunda Redemptionist gang some how...unless of course I buy a chaos necromunda gang or something! Does such a thing exist? I have a monatorium on purchases for a year...as er...I bought a few things on ebay last month. When they arrive I will show.
@ Vic! Correct! With a sentinel arm! And thanks, I have to admit it is hard. But I was looking at some of the ones I did last year and they were quite good. If I can get them all to that level I'd be happy. Tonight I aim to finish a Cadian captain. Thats it. The only model I am going to work on. So...close up tomorrow!
@ Tortured Robot! Hello and welcome! Thanks! Basically it is a mess of mostly GW metals, and now non GW plastics. I can't bring myself to pay huge amounts for plastics (emotionally scared...if you read the ancestor blog)...and when you can get 60 minis for 18 pound, well, thats hard to argue with! Anyway. I am starting to get the modelling bug back again...
So watch this space!

Qoute " I have a monatorium on purchases for a year...as er...I bought a few things on ebay last month. When they arrive I will show. "
Waiting.......
You and i have the same problem Manoknok, we both bite off more than we can easily chew , 40 halflings never mind the napoleonics and evrything eles the only diffrence is i dont have the time restrictions of a full time job , well if you exclude being a father of three boys , But in my oppinion its better to be over optimistic than pessimistic about these things
besides Weety has all those Monkey troll grots doing all her hard work , while she plays with that clay pots stuff and ovens dont let her tell you any different
You obviously need to stop exploring your beautifull contry and swimming in water fall pools in the middle of jungles
artists immpresion of Manoknok rock diving when you should be priming minis...... let me think who has his priorities right

Actually it was something not totally dissimiliar to that...but more sort of dense rainforest - hacking and slashing with a bolo. It was also at that point, 30ft above a 1ft deep river I decided I really need to sort out my health insurance.

Some of the old halflings are really funny! They are just so much smaller than the lumpin croops! The man in the barrel I will use as a musician. keeping up the moral with his box of delights. He actually has a big fat cigar in his mouth too.
At christmas I brought a load of paints (Valero not GW). Now to be fair on GW the paints I had used in the recent past were all bought in the tropics and were barely liquid. However, I am really impressed with Valero. That is either elftone or dwarf. I will dry brush the other after. Most of the models I have in white have also been undercoated with a darker colour too, which seems to be working, because there are definite areas of shadow.
well now my question regarding a new installement of a sigar model are sufficiently answered...the first one disturbed me quite honestly... tho it reminds me of my own sculpting efforts...we live we learn...
the second one somehow reminds me of:
lol
did you mean vallejo paints? one day i wanted to convert my painting to that brand too...

as i have tested it myself some substances like simple green and others even weaken and soften the GS structure so just put it in a bath and let time work on its own...
Terminator in tails , now that is a first manoknok! i think i will also give the vallejo paints a try at some point . also could use some mig pigments . i have heard that i think vallejo does a red ink the same as the old games workshop one , could anybody clarify this ?
Now get back to work , you shirker.....

lol.... all i can say is tho you feel the need to stay productive you have to take in acount that hobby is not realted in any form to duty...you do as you see fit and when you do you do great^^ so when the time comes the intrinsic reward will be there...
???
minis looking good, the barrel hobbit looks now as if he has his toungue looking out of his mouth... as if trying to search real hard for a lost apple in the barrel...
Haha. Yeah thanks! I like that too! I am hoping the dip will cover some of the missed paints areas...
I meant to write that on the other picture of the redemptionist...with the blue stripes on his trainers. In honour of my long serving addidas that have given up the ghost. Almost.

We refuse to take sides in this anymore. And we refuse to let you turn us against one another. We know who we are now, we can find our own way between order and chaos...
It's over because we've decided it's over. Now get the hell out of our galaxy! Both of you.
