If it's the Wanderer, I can put in Sabertooth; he'll make for a good grizzled loner. If it's death from the skies, classic magneto. Either of the other two, and I'll pretty much have to sit out. Gonna vote for Wanderer, as I've already painted one Magneto (of two) and finished a few nights ago. Only painting interest Ive had lately are my Knight Models.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

It's the tiny owl from a Warhammer sprue.
I may have an answer in my "Daemon Prince" proxy.

Have you ever seen a bird fly into a jet engine? That would certainly qualify



Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

How did I totally miss this thread?!! It's being a bit nuts lately. Death from the skies.......I think the only flying thingy I have is that BA fella from DW:O.....might have a harlie jet bike around somewhere too. Maybe.

Cool, now there's at least 3 of us going to tackle that model for this challenge! Should be interesting to see everyone's slightly different methods and schemes for painting the same thing.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

Well, if it's Death from the Skies, I now need to look for a model of a pig, and a jet engine. Because, pigs fly, as long as you strap a rocket to them

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard.

I'll go for another conversion, I'm thinking of a deffcopter as the base and maybe turn it into a bi-plane, we shall see!

Damnit...I don't know if I want to use that, or if I want to paint this thing I've had for a couple of weeks

http://www.dragon-bait-minis.com/shop/dragon-bait/halfling-witch-pig-cauldron/

It's such a cool model, and I was the one who had the idea to make this one a thing...
if I have the time, I might do both

I look forward to seeing that!!

...not really decided on what I'm doing yet...leaning towards some ork stormboyz...I've got quite a few of them that've been sitting around waiting to get painted for far too long...but then I also have a bunch of deffkoptaz, a couple of dakkajets, some plague drones, and a second-hand heldrake that needs a repaint...

...it'll probably be the stormboyz though...I've been really wanting to get some of them painted for months now

...it's good to be green!
