5 Budvars. There was also lego avengers, a chibi-talon and a SAGA welsh army. That's a lot of win. I still have junk for you, including your commissar.
How will I get him to you?
Yes, so, beer. Oh ...I think, perhaps, I should retire...

GK bits in the post mate .... now about the Apoth pad ......

I'm jealous, mate. We get this stuff over here call Czechvar, which is supposed to be the same, but it isn't.

@ Miss Dee: gracias señorita! I have some plans for the pad, thinking helix with shark's teeth decorations.

@ Reiko: oh, she has her moments. Currently, I have blue snot from her airbrushing...

@ YB: alas, a poor substitute. This evening is Tiger - it's monsoon season here apparently, so it feels aposite!

Projects over the next few days:
Well, I need to do the eyes and bases on the pagk, ready to go against leadlegion, as well as the EC's sword (verdigris, will be).

But I like a distraction, I do. Matt.Kingsley's Ork vehicle cop caught my eye, so I did a bit of work adding metals to my Defilork:

And primed big mek Luvlork:


Also, some work on my Ordo Malleus =][= Darkhammer (or whatever Valeriya's nemesis is called).


Primed and based Ophelia for the Malifaux comp too:


And stuck a few Welshmen on bases too!

In the grimdark future, there is only male voice choirs...

Graven


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Edit: Defilork, cont:

Now that is awsome!!!!

I..... like it!

Yeah that is very cool

Presuming y'all mean the Defilork - thanks! Started blocking in bits - hazard stripes, skin etc:

I love the wee legs dangling under the cab! Fabric will all be greys, cos they're ConfederOrks, not YankOrks...

And da Mek:


Hopefully a better idea of where I'm going with Ophelia:


Closer to finishing the =][=


And sword done on EC corpse:


Later, which will I fear still be early,
graven

Looks good, Graven. Love the Defilork.

Thanks mate. Now with colour and some sponge weathering:

I can hear the clanking from here!

Hazzard stripes looking good!!

Thanks guys! I have tried to follow your examples - ie thick - and not stressing too much over precision, as they're getting weathered. Next job will be finishing grots and then applying tamiya weathering powders (a further excuse to test and play!)

Are they the tamiya powders, that look like they are in a makeup thingy because I am intrested to see how they look.

They're not bad at all, quite subtle really; I like to use the rust and orange rust palettes in conjunction with one another. They give a light drybrush effect, or you can apply them heavily and seal with varnish.
I just painted lots of green skins. Time consuming, fiddly and a bit off my usual style, but fun to do. Pics when there's light and I'm not comatose. Also, picked up a dozen plastic horsemen off eBay for my welsh for a steal, and got an immense supply drop from Miss Dee, so a great day all-in-all.

Wow, you've been busy. And here I thought you'd have been too hungover from your birthday to do any work.

That Defilork is AWESOME.
I like the cowboy grots. :thumbs up;

I'm gona have to treat myself to some of those. Do you uses the overpriced applicator or something else?

Well, the one they come with isn't bad, and you're usually blending the powders from the same palette anyway. Having said that, I do have the applicator brush too. I would say that I don't use them on armies (eg not on gk vehicles) as they are time consuming - so good for special occasions, like the Defilork.

If it comes with one I'll use that first

looking good mate .........

Thanks gang.
Right, Ophelia is pretty much done for the Malifaux comp, bar better pics - so, C&C sought!

I can't believe I painted her nails...

Struggling with light + supermacro

Tried for Perdita style hair

Homemade bayou base. Yay PVA!


Defilork has now had tamiya weathering, which has subsequently been sealed with purity seal.

Inadvertently knocked off, and lost, a grot head. Bah.

This was Tamiya Orange Rust btw.

Better seen on close up!

As I see, c&c me up, baby!

graven

Wow your Malifaux comp job is fantastic, considering how small it is, you've pick out all the details and the base is ace

Orkifiier has come out really nice too, you could try a turquoisy wash on the brass bits though.

Actually, I find the idea of headless grot still sitting at his post, operating whatever little bit of the machinery was his responsibility fairly amusing. Nice work on the maliflux fig graven. I'm sure it'll make a good showing.

Really nice, Graven. I agree with tipios on trying a turquoise wash on the brass. It looks great, but that might add a little more depth to it.

Thanks guys! Yeah, a bit verdigris on it's a good idea. I'm also toying with a bit of a turquoisey, phosphorescent glow on the bayou, opinions?

LOL I kinda wish I had just left a blackened stump now. He has new head, which will be visible on final pics. Glad Ophelia meets your approval. I have to admit I think she's kinda hot, like an Orky Angelina. Ok, I'm strange...

Hows the pad going??

Shark's tooth and skull details done, just got to do the helix (ie the hard bit!)
