Excellent choice

Hope you get it all cleared out OK.

**Miss Dee**

If I get some Harly's you wanna paint them Wheety?

**weetyskemian44**

Probably would do that Miss dee. Sounds like a challenge.

But right now I'm feeling a bit nurgly so I might get the green wash out

**Miss Dee**

Im not going to get them until Im out of the Nuffield on the 8th

**weetyskemian44**

Here is some progress on my nurgle marine - This is my all time favourite chaos marine mini, he is so cool and reminds me of an iridescent weevil. he needs some kind of fungal infection to finish him off.

**theunicorn**

I really like this one.

**Gitsplitta**

Looks more like tzneech.... beautiful in any case.

**Moltar**

I was thinking Slaanesh, but, yes quite beautiful and stunning. Good stuff, Weety!

**weetyskemian44**

I guess I will see how it develops - I'm just playing around with new colours atm. Cheers and thankyou for your kind words y'all

**monkeytroll**

Very nice. I'd heard the iridescent weevil look was in this autumn, but hadn't spotted anyone else sporting it

**neil101**

blimey that is strange , another mini i have never seen before . looking pretty sweet all the same. I often wonder what you could do with the detail of a finecast or resin model after seeing th great stuff you achieve with these original gems.

**Viktor von Domm**

you strike a nerve me thinks neil.... i really think weety should give those new and high detail stuff a go...this could be good....

**weetyskemian44**

What would you recommend? I'm out of touch with modern minis and have no idea what to look for. I suppose ideally I would want something inquisitorial.

**neil101**

oooh now that is a question....how about the forgeworld titan princeps?

**monkeytroll**

Hmmm, how about one of the Vostroyans, perhaps one of the snipers? They've got some lovely detail, and could easily be an Inq henchman.

**weetyskemian44**

I like the hats the vostroyans wear. And the princeps is quite cool. Its a month of negative money though so it'll have to wait till xmass probably - plenty of time to do some research and find a mini I really want to paint.

**Valhalla130**

I'd have to say IG, but, uh... Beastmen are interesting.

**dantay_xv**

Ahhh, I have know that, we call it fluffy jelly, yum now I have to make some

**weetyskemian44**

Nomnomnom. I nice simples desert.

Might do a couple of beastmen 2day vallhalla - I have a day off at last. I shall see if I can struggle out of bed and get the paint and brushes out.

Would anyone else be interested in commissioning me to paint their minis? I'm not doing pottery atm so I have to do something. I would be cheap. I cant promise perfection though; I'm on the quest for perfection but I haven't got there just yet. And maybe your minis can help me get there?

**neil101**

WEETY &The quest for perfection... sounds like a movie title .
trusty paintbrush in hand

lokking forward to seeing your take on the beastmen weets, thinking of doing mine today too. Good luck in the commision field.

**Miss Dee**

As soon as I get out of hospital Wheety will be getting some of the new harlies to do.

**Dysartes**

Any word on when you'll be taking pottery orders once more, weety?

Regarding new stuff, can I recommend the IG Commissar with power fist & book?

**weetyskemian44**

well I've moved out of my studio now and all my equipment is in storage - I will let you know when it looks like somethings happening. It might take a while. Its very sad but I needed to get out of there as it was just too expensive.

I like that commissar he is a pretty fanatical looking comrade

Thanks miss dee. are they the new ones? I will have to look them up and get some ideas.

cheers Neil. Yes I have to carry the brush of power into the caves of paint and defeat the golden demon to complete my quest. It'll probably never happen but its the journey that counts apparently

**monkeytroll**

The Caves of Paint? Oh noes! Those are nasty places miss, they make you do colours and stuff in there. Nowhere near as nice as the Dungeons of Artifice.

Hope you manage to get something sorted for your studio soon.

Really? Rats - I was hoping to commission three Christmas presents. Oh well, maybe next year.

Aye - I don't have him yet myself. He's my second favourite of the new Commissars, after the guy sighting down the bolt pistol (who I have painted). I've got the Commissar Lord too (in Finecast), but haven't painted him yet, as his sword won't straighten fully.

Oh, btw weety, could you trim the number of exclamation marks in your original post title, please? I keep getting an error message every time I try to reply.

**Miss Dee**

Yeah they are

**weetyskemian44**

Beastmen

I'm doing a different flavour of beastmen this time as I have enough funky looking slaneeshi beasts to be going on with. I hate doing a colour scheme to death.

These Beasties have a khornish look - they are au naturele as far as skin, hair and horns are concerned. I'm very please with my naturalistic varnished pine axe handle(yellow with layers of sepia and umber washes).

**Miss Dee**

The harliys be here

**Viktor von Domm**

awsome color effect on the swordwielding beastman...and the skirt of the axekiller is sweet!

**monkeytroll**

Nice stuff as always weety. Cool work on the axe handle and the bolt pistols.

I'm slightly confused over one thing though:

"I have enough funky looking slaneeshi beasts to be going on with"

Isn't that a bit like having enough dakka?
