Thanks GDO. Not as smooth as yours to be sure, but they are fun and I'm getting better as I go. I gotta find my airbrush when the weather breaks.

LR looks great, can't believed you've scrapped a vindi blade for a barricade! (hey that rhymes! )

Need more 's in my life!

Thanks! It wasn't really a choice on the blade, it was a salvage job, and was missing one of the parts to make it fit on the vindi. Used to look like this:

And now looks like this:

The vindi looks tops man! I like the blood drops on the side! I would definitely say your skills are improving very quickly.

Mice work my friend. Take a fine tipped marker/pen and put a black line around the outside of those blood drops... then you're golden.

Yeah, I gotta get some of them. It's been awhile sense I did the vindi, was showing EC why I had a blade for terrain.

Got a Stealth Suit finished (2 but 1 was more experimental). Not real sure I am liking the paint style, what say you?



Also, and much more exciting, I got Barb finished. I put her together for an Apoc game last weekend, so figured I might as well paint it up. We lost, but I help up 3 of the 4 armies pretty well. My plan for Barb didnt work, but it was still fun.

Nice. Man that thing look hoary (note spelling please) and old... bits of carapace flaking off to the point where it looks shaggy (rather than scooby). :-)

Anyway... love it. My little one is all excited about the prospect of my working on his Nids again now that Adepticon is over. I may actually do so tonight... surprise him with a finished Trygon perhaps?

Not so sure of the white guns (personal preference, not a huge fan of white) but like the suit.

Barb looks, well, monstrous I guess Maybe some water effects in the mouth for that nice salivating look?

The brightest green is a 'ard coat/scorpion green mix, so there is the slime effect going on.

Thanks Knightley. And Tony. And Monkey. And Gits.

So, rather then ask specific models, anyone prefer to see a specific army? Tau is going to chill until I can decide if I like it or not. Choices are:
Dark Angels
Blood Angels
Nids
Crons
IG
Soul Drinkers
Ultrasmurfs
Terrain

Some of those are pretty limited, but there ya have it.

Vote:

Dark Angels

Only because I'm a fan of your DA painting and want to see more.

Well I play BA and DA regularly, am likely going to use Drinkers for Adepticon next year, and have just somehow collected a lot of the named characters for Codex marines.

Your Dread has taken a step backwards actually. It is going into the Mek for further riveting and orkification.

Gits makes a good point

Guard or nids sound good to me, but can I put an anti-vote in for the smurfboys
