Hehe

So here he is anyway, held back a fair bit as he was character standard, added some sneaky little details to the nurglings to try and colour balance a bit, Im not sure how hes turned out really, but he looks quite nice in the hand so thats something at least.

Base is by request.

Wow. I don't know how to respond to this. Part of me thinks, " wow, it's so refreshing to know that even the best have moments of doubt," while another part thinks, " oh my god, you don't know what you're doing and this is what you produce?" This guy is absolutely amazing, Iffy. Love the white armor!

I figured the chains would have to be super dark to get the right contrast, but they still have a fair bit of work to go Everyone needs manglers, it should be model painting law.

A recommendation, perhaps, but not a law.

Having said that, I've already painted my first Mangler...

sublimely beautiful browns there! He is utterly beyond the help of soap.

Oh my God, I'm still up working on my Ordinatus Golgotha as the UK'ers are waking up. This project has consumed me, utterly.

Seriously, go to bed.

Thanks dude, but I must admit I wing it often. I think I have just gotten better at winging it, not better at being super sure and always knowing exactly what I am doing beforehand. Maybe thats all "talent" is, getting better at making things up as you go. hohohoh.

It's ok, I didn't get to sleep till about 8 and was awake at 11. Good chance I might actually fall unconcious into a stupor today, looking forward to it!
Today will be more squig and starting on guardsmen, as the nurgly dude has the from the owner and is now finished.


Also, quick sales plug -
I have some Warmachine and a Carnifex still for sale, but they won't be dropping below this price or going to auction (due to the prices of the actual models, you are literally going to be paying only a couple of euro for the paintjobs as it is)

If you want any, grab em, cash is to a good cause. KEEPING SARAH ALIVE ♥

I wish I was going to keep my Cryx, I'd be all over that warjack... unfortunately I have to start cutting my losses and the Cryx didn't make the final list.

Well played Sir, Well Played.

Great work Ifalna, really enjoyed looking through this thread.

MUST KEEP SARAH ALIVE!!

Oh no wait I spent it all on squigs and squats

See what you hath wrought, Iffy? Your Squig Addiction hath spread like a Nurgle plague, and now no one can send you money or cupcakes.

I have absolutely no one to blame but myself.

dont think of it as a squig infection you are spreading... think of it as the glorious squig revolution!

The birth of an all-squig parliament Viva la revolucion!

Early WIP for a guard unit, tabletop standard so won't be too detailed.
Guns and metals need to be started, cloth needs a wash and rehighlight, faces need mouth details and bases need to be done, but that should be it.



Super tired now! 2-3 hours sleep last night and no nap today? I've gone cray cray.

holy gak thats a lot of plasma guns

^ i dunno, seems to be missing something.. plasma related

Yeah. Definitely skimping on the plasma. They all only have one. Back in my day, we all had at least three plasma weapons on us, and we liked it!

^ exactly what i think this needs


Automatically Appended Next Post:
not to mention a plasma sword or two

Uhm. That's not a legal IG squad in the SLIGHTEST.

so your saying that awsome is illegal? i dont think awsomeness can ever be illegal... period, thats why my IG have orks, dragons, and even suv's

It may just be the beginning of a bunch of IG vets or someone wanted some figs to swap between normal vet squad leaders with laspistols and melta vets. I keep bunches of flamers, meltas, plasma guns, and grenade launchers to swap in my IG force. However, I don't use plasma pistols with single wound models - especially commissars; too risky. So maybe the plasma pistol dudes are company commanders?

I heartily approve of this plasma overdose.

Just got an email in reply to the one I sent Gw explaining that the replacement gobbo I received was as bad as the original.

Hello

Thank you for your email. We have recived a replacement set of the goblins, they have been checked and confirmed that they are of the best standard currently available. There are some fine holes but they are in the undercuts such as beneath robes and one which is under the nose and do not interfear with the detail, a small amount of liquid greenstuff applied with an old brush should resolve them.

We will have these replacements with you as soon as possible. If you have any problems please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The underlined part strikes me as an extremely strange thing to say to a customer about your product, is it just me?

I am however happy with the clearly hand typed email with direct communication, if the gobbo arrives and does just have tiny bubbles I can easily fill with PVA and has no detail loss, then I am ok with that. I would have preferred it not take weeks, but they did in fairness send me a second mangler box I did not request so I can't complain.

Fingers crossed this Gobbo is usable.

As with all things GW... "quality" is a relative term. Just depends on how low you want to set your standards. They aren't artists Iffy, they're businessmen. That means whatever minimum quality you're willing to pay for is the quality they're going to provide. Doing any better doesn't make financial sense.

It's QC Limbo.... GW-style!

"How low can you go... how low can you go..."

Ah huzzah for Finecrap ><

Good to hear they're bein real cool with the replacements, Iffy.
I still havent got any resin stuff outside of FW grots... All Ive heard are the horror stories


Also...

... under the nose and do not interfear with the detail,

Oh GW, I love your writing so!

I have many horror stories :( I don't mind the typos, it means the person who handled this email is not one of the usuals, hence not using a template and macro's. Thats a good thing, hopefully this person knows what they are talking about.

So the tabletop Guard are now all done, pew pew pew.




Did not go too crazy with them due to their painting standard, but hand fun regardless. Got them done in two sittings, which ain’t bad.

They had resin bases and guns, I had to actually snip their arm parts at the fists and make new arms to try and fit them under the guns, which is why some are balled up fists The owner knew that would happen and did not mind.

Phew!

Excellent work! No-one minds or notices the balled up fists, we have to do this for IG all the time, due to the sculpts.

very nice work Iff, and you did a nice job here for only two sessions, although the only thing i would change is that i would have made the sgt's bionic eye a warmer color, only because the overall presence is very cool.. but then again i do trust your painting more than mine

They turned out really well Iffy... even if they are Guard.
