Just found this on Reddit, made me lol. That is all.

**GreyDeathOne**

Whalem loving your LR and DW they look great

. I cant wait to see more Dark Angels.

**whalemusic360**

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.

**Emperors_Champion**

LR looks great, can't believed you've scrapped a vindi blade for a barricade!

(hey that rhymes!

)

**whalemusic360**

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:

**tony_nids_10**

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

**Gitsplitta**

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.

**whalemusic360**

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.

Screw that, I use my airbrush inside. Thats the beauty of the thing.

**whalemusic360**

Yes, but mine is in the garage and I have to find it.

**whalemusic360**

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.

**Gitsplitta**

WTF? Tau??

Gods what a monster! What's it supposed to be again?

**whalemusic360**

Its a Barbed Herodrule. 700 points of Gargantuan Creature goodness!

**Gitsplitta**

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?

**tony_nids_10**

Wow! Barb came out amazing! I have to go get one of those...someday

**monkeytroll**

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?

**whalemusic360**

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

**Knightley**

Looks awesome, Barb look particularly menacing!

**whalemusic360**

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.

**Knightley**

Vote:

Dark Angels

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

**tony_nids_10**

Soul Drinkers!!

**Arakasi**

A lot of Marines in that list - you're not turning into GW are you? Still - I do love the Dark Angels look...

**whalemusic360**

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.

**Arakasi**

Back...? Or forward...?

**whalemusic360**

Errrr.......Yes?

**Gitsplitta**

I vote.... Necrons.... just to be different.

And besides, I'll be helping Thing 1 with his so I need someone to share in the misery.

**whalemusic360**

Just to clarify, my necrons consist of 3 scarab bases atm.

**Gitsplitta**

So, clearly there's a need for you to paint more of them...

**monkeytroll**

Gits makes a good point

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

**whalemusic360**

So 2 DA, 1 Cron, 1 Drinkers, and -1 Smurfs.
