That's some amazing blending on the hair, weety! It's probably a bit of a given that i'm a big fan of the early necro minis (who isn't?!), but that's seriously one hell of a job!

Absolutely love the respirator gent too - you've nailed the scummy/algae coated white van look amazingly! He's a fantastic scuplt, but I think it's your weathered and ramshackle scheme that's given him the most character. I realise it's super tedious to write out, but is there any chance you could pretty please give us a run down on how you managed to achieve that ruined white? I'd love to be able to replicate it!

Hope wage-slaving's still giving you all the time you need for your paint jobs

Psycho-analyze that one!

What about the Smurfs TV tray that he got from some guy in Norway?

I love that song.

I think maybe It gets in my head in the morning because I'm calling my alarm clock a "Fascist" and other names
..And somehow that conjures
"Tell me why I got that Alf alarm clock"...

Dstein and von dom - some funny old minis those. Ass-cannon!

I checked out that thread - I love his enormous city and his take on budget building. Very very rusty.

scarper - well I primed in white, applied black wash, drybrushed white (for the whole mini), then on just the armour I applied a dark umber wash, followed by white highlights, then stippled umber mud splatters. Then I took a mixture of GW flesh wash and orkflesh wash (gives a kinda olive green), applied in dabs and smeared it with my finger. A few specks of sepia and yellow were applied around the respirator vents. Glad you like it! I'm definitely using it again.

My fav Weird Al song is "What if god smoked cannibis"

"What if god smoked cannabis?
Hit the bong like some of us
Drove a tie-dyed microbus"

Lol

Oooo almost forgot - update - not even half way there but beginning to look colourful

Very nice job on her face and skin weety.

I think that's one of your best yet, weety!

..You make me want to break out my MIB Eschers

You will never guess what I found at the car boot sale - well actually you will cos here is a pic:



I saw this and asked the man how much? He said he had no idea and I should make him an offer - So I got it for 3 pounds because I wasn't brazenly tight fisted enough to offer him a pound.

Its got no rule book but all the cardstock seems there and there are extra minis besides tyranids and scouts - there are plastic genestealers, hybrids and terminators too.

Good trip to the carboot all things considered

I will clean and sort it all and get some pics up soon

Sweet find Weets!!

Wow! That's a great find, especially with the extra minis.

3 quid? Pah. You wuz robbed!

Nah its gotta be worth a fiver. I looked it up on ebay and there was only one guy selling and he wanted 147 for it. He probably won't get it but still.

I dare you to ask him a question about whether his comes with extra minis for the £144 more...

hey in all honesty... what is this box full of everything really worth? weety... do you now have to hide from the police now? on german ebay all space crusade editions sell quite expensive...

It was a total steal von dom so I guess I have committed a crime - But on the other hand I did help the guy de-clutter his attic so we both win.
Some might say that anyone who says "I don't know, you tell me what you think its worth" needs to be ripped off. It was a beautiful moment when I realized he wasn't going to haggle.

lol... one could say you put him out of his misery so to say^^... lol...

from time to time i see those kind of guys with their stupidly made acutions even on ebay... and sometimes i get my slice of the cake even^^...

fleamarkets are sometimes rather full of those " i hist want to get rid of the stuff"-peeps... lucky days then^^

Great find, Weety! Can't wait to see it unboxed

Blimey! Another face to a name!

wow an amazing find! cant waite to see what you do with it

The rules are probably available on the internets.

Congrats on the find! They'll go well with your collection!

I believe I've posted (on my plog, or other plogs) that I started playing Warhamster in 1988, and bought my first Citadel minis in 1987.

Its surprising sometimes to see what people look like. But not that surprising. I wan't to see what monkeytroll looks like - I always pictured him having really long dreadlocks and a goatie (no idea why).

I've started going through the box and unfortunatly the tyranids are in a bad way - they will need major GS work. Out of nine (nine!! I'm sure you only get 6 with the original set) only two are undamaged. But I think I can fix em.

I have 10 genestealers, 2 terminator librarians, 6 terminators 4 hybrids and 25 scouts - so It looks like I've got the minis from 1 and a half advanced space crusades and most of the minis from the original space hulk.

Sadly the space hulk minis are a bit static.

Will all genestealers please raise your left hand:

Oh but they're GREAT for posing on terrain! They can hang on to anything!

Lulz - great plan! swarming all over it - nothing could survive.

Here is the one tyranid left on the sprue - Going assemble its bad-ass and see how it looks (from what I can tell already it is a great looking kit)

Surely some conversions are possible though?? It might take a bit of hack n slash, but if anyone can do it, you can Weety!

Unless you want to preserve the original poses for your RT-era museum you'll be opening

Papa Nid is in the hizzuuuuuuuuuuuuu ^_^

Awesome thread Weety, subbed ^_^

Back in the day I had 3 of these warriors, but they were the tan plastic, with round sprues. Still have some bits floating around somewhere.......*Wanders off mumbling*

Yeah I think some of them will have to go to the chop shop. Keep one or two

This is a really great kit - so much better than the scouts. It needs a little green stuff to cover a few joins.
