Libby's colourful!!!

Wohaaaaa the Slaaneshi Beastmen are great!!! I'm so jealous I don't have any!!!

Your bright colours especially fit them!

The RT Magus is great!!! I had never seen it before, thanks for sharing...

Please stop painting that fast, I can't keep up with your updates!

He really looks good... I like that mini, the hood adds the tiny "grimdark" touch for the 40k universe...

Sorry I didn't notice this before, but... Could you drill the barrels out?

I love all the freehands you did on that mini : checks, =I= symbol on the hood, etc... The purple looks damn good too!

As for the shoulder pads, from that perspective you cannot really tell there's a difference in scale, so for now it doesn't bother me much...

But think that an Inquisitor is a powerful character, whose armour has probably seen centuries of battle (and damage). Maybe one of its shoulder pads was replaced for a temporary repair, then became an icon of that Inquisitor. Or a grateful AdMech Magos offered the Inquisitor a revered relic from his order & integrated it into his armour... Or any other good reason you might make up in the grim darkness of the 41st millenium...

I reckon it's because they use demon blood for pigments. Or maybe they just sacrife stuff to the paint god, you know, like all those speedy painters do.

Ha ha ha... Now I see why I envy guys such as grey_death, Raff or Son of Orar... They have a magic recipe!!! Thanks monkeytroll, I'll ask them for a ounce or two of "Demon Blood", hope they still have some available lol...

Ha ha, don't misjudge yourself, you paint really nicely!!! If not, do you really think your blog would be that popular?

Lol monkeytroll... I want to own something from the rising star as well!

OMG thank you so much to the two of you!!! My GF had always convinced me I was a freak or something, with my habit of thinning the brush on my lips, but now I can tell :

I AM NOT ALONE !!!!!!

monkeytroll wrote:I was certainly a brush-licker back then (Yes, I know that explains so much...).

Monkeytroll, according to aforementioned GF : "yeah, that probably explains a lot of things..."

monkeytroll wrote:Now you're just being silly Skalk, everyone knows red paint tastes fasta.

Consider that sig'd...

Wow great job!!!

I feel the same about everything neil101 said, though I prefer the Elf / Eldar one...

Agreed, the shemale definitely is a SHE!!! Nice job weety, as usual...

Ha ha ha...

Maybe Mr. yakface should use this pic as his avatar?!? That'd be nice!!!

I'm eager to see those Chaos minis painted as well...

Nice Orlock!

monkeytroll wrote:lol, now I'm going to have to search t'internetz to find a Zardoz mini.

Ha ha, save me one when you get them!

monkeytroll wrote:Not reached Christmas yet and you're already OD'ing on the grub. Eyes bigger than your belly

What does "grub" mean?!? The only previous place I heard it was in the video game Gears of War : "One dead grub!!", but always thought it was a nickname or short for "grunt", or something like that...

monkeytroll wrote:Yggs - haven't played Gears but I'd guess in that context it's being used to refer to maggots or the like, but in the UK we refer to food as grub (pub-grub for a start ), and army rations as scran. Although obviously, as anywhere there's a whole bunch of regional variations.

I like 'pub-grub', I guess that's close to when we French say: "Wow, bad face this morning. - Yeah, I've been *eating liquid* yesterday evening.."



Thanks for the explanation !

"liquid diet" is funny, I'll try and suggest that to my teammates...

And you're nearly good, we'd say "J'ai mangé liquide hier soir" ('Je mange' is present, and 'liquide' is used as an adjective here, so no 'le').

I'd love to hear you guys (well, guys, you get me uh) speaking French, it's so ... Cute?

weetyskemian44 wrote:I will try it more often - will probably learn more than I ever did in class. Eventually I plan to go on holiday in france and see my cousin in paris. She is a linguist, which is just not fair.

Cute as in very badly done but endearing?

Yeah, linguists usually have a knack for learning all sorts of languages in a short amount of time, that's quite infuriating...

And, erh, yeah, should I have known this word 'endearing', I'd have used it in place of cute... But it doesn't need to be 'very badly done' to be 'endearing'... All English native speakers (male or female) have a really charming ( ) tone when they speak French..

Is there something wrong WITH MY POST?!?! WTF??????§§§§§!!!!!! LOL

[2nd edit : on the Dakka front page, we can see that mini as a preview of your blog : .

Usually the preview pic is the first one of the last post with pics, but for you it's the Orlock ganger, whereas this looks like a CSM... And I don't remember seeing a CSM in your blog, what's wrong?!?]

We also have something close, it's the "slice of hop" ('tartine de houblon'), as in "slice of bread & butter", but just with one of the special ingredients of beer...

Aber 'flüssiges' Brot ist ganz gut also!!!

I guess your English teacher was full of wisdom...

I mean, I never suffered from starvation in the UK, but I saw some of the weirdest meals in my life... As in, pizzas drenched in soup (who does that?) or the infamous 'fudge' : 1/3 butter, 1/3 sugar, 1/3 sweetened condensed milk (how can you imagine that)...

But I have to admit, the English breakfast is far better than ours (yum, yum, bacon, beans, eggs, toasts... )

I don't know, I'm not aware of anyone that does that, don't think you can call that a typical british meal

Well, that was during my first trip to GB, back in... 1995? Something like that... The family who hosted us had weird ways when it came to 'cuisine'...

You're really good when it comes to painting those Necro minis... Especially the girls!

Hope you didn't take it seriously uh, that wasn't a criticism at all...

Wow, the left-most chick is pretty hot!!! Plus, they both wear high heels, that's what I like most!!

Those graffitis are detailed and quite realistic!!!

I guess you have some real life experience, uh?

Some "Trust" concert posters?

Impressive Stargate...

I didn't get the Lego-Shark thing, but I find it funny !!!

I don't remember that moment... I have only watched one of those once, and some time ago, so it may either be the wrong one, or I have forgotten about it entirely...
