Ah, the old RT-era Techmarines. I love the one with the wrench and the oil can.

Nice truck, Weety. You'll have a whole mess of ganger love at this point. Now you need to build a Hiver display cabinet for 'em all.

--B.

Its pretty necessary - I need more space!! The two shelves I'm using now are almost entirely full.

eye candy courtesy of dsteingass, Yeld, Orrus and Jakara spyrers at maximum contrast - they should be fun to paint but I'm going to take an age deciding what colours to use.

Hmmmm, rusty.

Good job. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your plasticard drop

Very nice job weety... I can see that cruising around a hive world somewhere... getting rival gangers out of those hard-to-reach places.

Oh cool, you found wings!! Awesome!

The truck is as all your stuff, Badass. I think the humidity is what is causing your unwanted texture from the rattle can though.

Well it is pissing it down here... has been for ages - we were meant to have a drought so of course it had to rain for weeks just for ironic effect.

Its been a productive sunday, here is a freshly diseased scav:

Everyone who likes a good B movie should watch "straight to hell" its got elvis costello, denis hopper. courtney love, cathy burke, grace jones, edwad tudor pole (sex pistols and crystal maze) and the Pogues both as actors and as musicians for the score. What a delightful romp in the desert.

Not much of an update but seriously its a rough diamond. Plus the weekend is nigh and I might finish those scavies soon. Love to ya'll

Sunday is my only warhammer day atm. Boohoo.

Snapped this little beaut up for 99p. I think its space hulk? Or advanced space crusade maybe. Its got the oldstyle ork bolter - one of my favorite of the old guns. A little green stuff to splay out the arms - I find it displays the details of the figure better and its easier to paint the torso.

This is the first hybrid for my delaques. One of their number has given 'birth' to a creature which they cannot help but serve. They are all its slaves now and will provide hosts.

Nice. From one of the Space Hulk supplements, I think Deathwing - but that's mainly because I can't recall the title of the other expansion

Look forward to seeing the paint job you give him/her/it. If you're down to one day a week of hobby time at least that means mere mortals have a chance to get stuff done before you finish a few squads off

And on the B-movie tip, did you catch Hobo with a Shotgun yet? I picked it up the other day, but not got round to watching it yet.

Really want to watch the hobo/shotgun film - Rutger Hauer has such a great face. When he does an angry look you really know about it.

I'm thinking of an aubergine purple/grey green/creamy lilac scheme for the hybrid.

I just love Rutger Hauer... he's had so many great films... several of which definitely make the B movie rolls.

Escape from Sobibor is on british TV atm - Rutger Hauer doesn't really look very jewish but who cares - the joy of the film is seeing those nasty SS death camp guards get shanked. Its their comeuppance.

Hey wets ,Jealous of your upspyerers so lovely these guys , They would make a great comeback as finecasts to chop up.;-)

A nice bit of Hybrid fluff too..

Hobbo with a shotgun , insta classic..

Cheers neil - the Genestealer thing is my very favourite thing fluff wise - its so sinister and dark. I will have to come up with a coupla more paragraphs of fluff for them - make them seem more real (I haven't written creatively since school but the amount of books I read it should be ok)

The scavies now have a 5 man squad! Got some pics today - they look suitably unpleasant and ready to spread the word of decay to the underhive or wherever. I want some zombies now!

Got my marine today Weety, he's wonderful! Thank you!

Those gangers look great... paint job really suits them.

I am glad he arrived in one piece and stuff - My Bf is hassling me to paint your dreadnought now, he used to do eldar himself. I really should - its a little daunting though - all those big smooth areas just waiting for a big mistake to ruin them!

In other news I am moving back to car primer - it is so much smoother than army painter (they do great brushes though)

If you ever get an airbrush weety (even a cheap one)... I've got the primer for you. Once you use it... you'll never go back to the can.

(and I'd love to see you do that dread)

Car primer? Like the self etching stuff? I've used it a couple times on other things, but never on models.

GW's overpriced cans... despite being overpriced, work splendid for me. But that may be because I prime black and not white... I dunno.

I might look into alternate primers, but I'm so terrified of change!

Self etching?

Yeah I've never seen a bad black primer. It must be more reliable.

Those scavvies are marvelous!



Edit to correct my stoopid autocorrect.

Frikkin' technology...

I work in the automotive field, it's what we call it. *chuckles*

I think it's because of the way it sticks to the metal and applies super-smooth and all. It's good stuff, but it can be runny sometimes.

They are the one shoe gang... They could only find left footed shoes for some reason (plus one of they only has a right foot anyway)

The scavvies are ace! I love the character of the older sculpts, and I'm always really impressed with the variety in your colour schemes! Nice to see a bit of colour in amongst all the grimdark

Scavvies look great, good job.

Of course, if they're to stand a chance against the gangers they'll need to pimp some transportation...bring on the slime-mobile

Oh no monkeytroll you've set the wheels in motion now - just need to find a scale model rubbish truck or maybe a muck spreader?

Scarper thanks, I love the colours. Making new ones is my favorite things. I think the most colourful thing about these guys though is their swollen boils...

..Sounds like a personal ad in the Nurgle Bugle

Oh excellent choice madame...

Rubbish truck (that's a garbage collection vehicle to our colonial friends ) for a chimera, muck spreader (that's probably still a muck spreader ) for a hellhound/'whatever-the-chemical-weapon-version-is-called-I've-forgotten-right-now'.

We just call em' Garbage Trucks. Or Trash Trucks. And I have no idea what the hell a Muckspreader is... unless you mean a Honeywagon... one of those big trucks they use to suck out septic systems and stuff.

Even the gross aspects of life aren't immune to our different nouns across the pond!

Honeywagon? That's going to be a disappointment for someone expecting a van-load of sugary bee goodness (do earwigs make chutney?), or a van full of hot chicks
