I forgot how great it was to watch your creative genius unfold, Arakasi,

Love the scene. Better than just a truck.

He's back! How many pages did you have to trawl through to catch up?

Thanks!

Thing have been a bit quiet around here lately - I've been cleaning up and preparing the second Venomthrope, which seems to be in worse condition than the first, but there isn't much to show at this point - well, nothing new anyway. This week will be light on too as I am away on business Tues-Thurs. But, I'm not away for Easter this year - so I will endeavour to bring things back on track next weekend!

Catchya!

That's right. You keep on blaming me for your slow progress

The trukk looks great with all da boyz on board

Don't mind if I do Mr "Introduce me to Infinity"...

Been awhile, not much to update - just been working on the second Trukk carcass

Putting it together:

Catchya!

It looks like It was made to be kicked on a ork truk!

One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us!
Get your arse over to the sub forum! Revolution is upon us!

Oh and the modeling progress looks good too!

WOW! Love that guy you did for the dakka comp! The nid in da trukk looks very cool! But why is it in there

@SelvaggioSaky: It may *look* like it was made to be kicked on an Ork Trukk, but it doesn't *feel* like it was (quite a bit of cutting and hairdryer repositioning going on here...)

@Casey's Law: Yes, I am am aware of your subversive Infinity uprising... I am waiting on certain... purchases...

@HAZZER: Have you seen "Independence Day"? Also, I think you answered your own question in the preceding sentence

I think you still need to attack the ends of the tentacles. If it's dead, the very ends should be drooping more over the edges. Other than that... looking very cool.

You're forgetting the speed and direction of the Trukk

In that case they shouldn't the claws be pointing backwards as they will be heavier than the tentacles?

They're just bouncing all over the place too

Lots of cool stuff to catch up on, enjoyed that

Nice little tutes, cheers!

Love the stuuf with the trukks, coming along nicely

And the grot wars dio was awesome, kudos on that. Glad you took wips too.

@endtransmission: Don't know if they need to *point* backwards, but they are at the furthest point behind...

@monkeytroll: Welcome back! I see you have been busy... (and not just catching up with my humble blog!)

Looks cool anyway!

Hey Arakasi, fantastic thread. Love the tutorials. I recently joined DakkaDakka. Added this thread to my subbed list.

Woot i finally caught up! Theres some very nice work. Hopefully you can make it to platinum devil so i can see em in person!

Apologies for the lull here, and this isn't really a Da Dark Angelz update... I think endtransmission says it best:

endtransmission wrote:Oh, the Infinity painting competition voting is now open, with some amazingly good entries... and so many of them!

If you haven't already, go vote!

Yes, I've been sidetracked a little - by Infinity, by the competition, by work and now holidays - but I will resume the awesomeness... soon...

@HAZZER: Thanks as always.

@Gutsplitta: Thanks, and glad to have you on board.

@Vitruvian XVII: Well, I was waiting for you... I'll be at Platinum Devil - so you will get your wish!

So, I finally got around to doing that Purity Seal...

1st of a lot of final images: Shoota Boy:


Lighting is atrocious, I'm gonna have to see if I can fix that... or maybe leave it until Oz...

Nice work Arakasi... very nice.

Hey Arakasi, well done. I really like the red on that Shoota. With the yellow coming through, looks great.

He looks fantastic!! Lovely muted, and actually very real (Kinda oxymoronic for a fantasy figure) colours!! PM me when you go off to Oz and hopefully we can get in one final game before then...

For your nice comments - another one!


Yes, the matt finish given by the Puirty Seal really tones them down from the previous bright shiny images, and they do look worn and weathered!

Will do. I'd love to get some games in before I disappear, but Da Boss is already annoyed I'm going away next week (Warhammer World this weekend, down in Reading working during the week - what isn't a Bank Holiday of it anyway, and then Platinum Devil IV the following weekend...) - so we'll see what happens! (Still haven't written up our last one!)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Appendicitis?

All-right Arakasi... enough muckin' about wif dem n'finity uumie babes... give us some ORKS!!! WAAAAAAGH!!!

Thanks for that - da Painboy (and his Orderly):

Excellent. Where'd that orderly come from?

Mmm that cloak is tasty, so grimey.

The Orderly is a converted fantasy night goblin shaman - the one on the right. He was part of my Dakka Duel entry - part of which was to make sure he fit in with my current Painboy. Not a bad job, even if I do say so myself

Another Shoota boy:

Have you just built up a backlog of models or has your painting speed increased by10000%!!!!????

Definitely not sped up by 10000% These were the models EndTransmission challenged me to finish by the end of last year, which weren't completed until late January I believe, and have since been waiting for suitable Purity Seal weather - which I only completed this week. Everyone wanted better photos, so now that they are finished, here they are. I'll make sure to get a group and army shot whilst at Warhammer World this weekend

For each comment, I can post another one Well - until I go to bed anyway.... (or run out - but that's not for a while...)
