The were combined?? When??

I have the outlanders softcover book, but I've never played with the rules in it. Only ever classic.

Ebay is your friend Dave... embrace it, but keep an eye on your wallet, it may have unsolicited relations without your consent

There was a hardcover Book that was the 3 softcovers and a WD compilation. Both are worth hunting down, especially the WD comp book.

I'll definately keep an eye out at shows and cons! Thanks man! I never heard of it before, I love the WD compilations.

hardbound book n eBay

Battles in the Underhive completed listing that went real cheap

Battles has event cards in the back that are actually real good and GW used to sell the event cards but I am the only person know off that bought them.

Damn you Sir!!

I already have all of those books seperately, plus the re-released : Underhive book. I'd love to have the Battles book though..More studio terrain for me to improve upon!!

Speaking of books - I have the 2nd edition codex, wargear, and army list books - all I need now is the rule book and I can play 2nd edition 40k and pretend I'm in a time warp.

Progress has been made on the orrus. I wonder where the name orrus comes from?

Anyway he needs pupils in his eyes and some metalwork and gems but he is basically done.

Apparently this years fashionable noble-man is wearing pastels and brass.
...

Heh! He's awesome...and he makes me hear Boogie music every time that I see him...and then I recall your mention of a catheter and the music goes away.

For really long hunting trips he has a little automatic hatch in the back. He is a hatchback.

Here is the finished thing.

Oh yeah, look out ladies. He's a Hugger. You can see it in his eyes!

Awesome as always Weets!!

He looks like he might be a biter as well. He wants you to feel his wrath.

What a fantastic job on his face! I can't believe how much expression you got into that sculpt, ace job, Weets! I like the paint scheme too - very supervillainy, it's a look that really suits them. You do have to wonder what they were going for with the original pose though

That's.... a very strange figure....

He is an Orrus Spyrer man! They are rich kids who hunt underhivers for sport!

what's strange about it gitsplitta? I'm curious to hear your take on it.

Thanks scarper - I think I'm going to go blind with all these face details - getting the pupils in the right place is a matter of luck as much as skill sometimes.

cheers dstein Its a pleasure to paint these so thanks for sending them!

It's not your painting weety... he just looks odd to me (odder than the standard ganger... if you get my drift). Partial power armor and p-fists over a skin tight suit on a ganger... just something I've never seen the like of before.

Its definitely not standard... Some great models in the spyrer range - we have the dude with the enormous wings yet to go!

I'll be damned..you can still get that one from GW!

Nice crazy grin on the Orrus, weety.

Thanks dysartes I love to give my minis vivid expressions.

I'm currently experimenting with a squig. Its going to be blue-green probably with spots.

I'm afraid soon my painting might die off a bit because I plan to immerse myself in the world of Skyrim at the soonest possible date. I have been playing a lot of oblivion atm and I suddenly decided that I no longer wanted to see the same old forests of automatically generated trees and listen to that same damn voice actor do yet another npc's voice. I've seen some of the pics of skyrim and read things about how the shadows are accurately calculated and the trees are all hand picked and placed and I've gotten all excited and want to play!! OOOOOOOOh I can't enjoy anything until it pops through the letterbox - I should have just shelled out the extra 7 quid and got it from game!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH?GGGG!

NOOOOOOOO I cant wait! I'm praying to the daedric gods that someone outbids me on ebay so's I can go down the road and buy it from game tomorrow.

I forget. Which ones are the Daedric gods? Is that Chelsea and Wendell?

You know I'm not at all sure what any of them are called - Jaden and Reese? Chardonnay and Kylie?

Gods aside, skyrim is brilliant - Apart from the now astronomical number of times I've died. But at least its not too easy. I don't remember ever dying in oblivion much.

I found an ork in a basement talking to himself (the bandits all seem to talk to themselves?! Odd) and I must have tried to kill the great oaf ten times before giving up.

So I'm afraid there won't be any painting for a while at this rate.

No need to apologise weets.. your thread is so much fun.. it will be when you get back also..great job on the spyrer btw I still haven't had the guts to sit down with the game .. I know I would be gone forever..lol..

Bailey is so chuffed he can play it on the pc now.. told me last night he had downloaded twenty mods from steam on it.. not jealous at all.. :-(

well this was a fun walk through the time warp 90% of these models i have never seen and it was great to see them.

i really like your color selcetion on them makes them top notch.

good luck with skyrim i lost three friends to that game

Wow, missed some great stuff here. But now you've got Skyrim, so nothing for a while I guess..

Err, not that any of my absence can be linked in any way, shape or form to anything called Skyrim, you understand. I've just heard about it from a friend, like.

Nice job on those spryers, love the sword on the Jakara, very nice.

And superb work on your new avatar, awesome skin, hair, zebra cloth, etc etc etc

Also liking the orcs, and very keen to see what you do with those squigs.

And super jealous of your space crusade find, lovely stuff there. I still have one warrior unassembled, they were very cool, nicely alien I always felt.

Long dreadlocks and a goatee huh?
About 10 years ago that would have been fairly accurate - dreads hanging past my ass and two beardlocks
These days it's close cropped with mutton-chops.


neil - I very deliberately got it for the PS so I couldn't mod it. I've been on and off the same game in Morrowind for at least 6 years now, and I've barely touched the main quests due to the ridiculous amounts of mods I installed to keep me busy elsewhere. Plus my PC's still dead and there's no way it's running on this old lappie.

Well in actual fact I did get some painting done because I have to share the X-box dammit! so skyrim releases its icy grip temporarily and I have painted a squig. But the light is all wrong for pictures even with my daylight bulb so I'm still trying to get some focused pics.

Great to see you on dakka after so long monkeytroll!! Muttonchops huh? Sounds awesome. Did skyrim suck you in like an expensive call girl? Did I just type that? Oh dear I need a cup of tea.

Gonna try and get some photos to work now.

No but really its one step closer to the ultimate virtual reality fantasy roleplay we all dream of. Soon real life will be totally unnecessary and life will go sleep-skyrim-work-skyrim-sleep in that order.

thanks for looking alabamaheretic. Hope you enjoyed the show.

tis a blue squig of awesomeness!!! I'm surprised you pried yourself away from skyrimming to paint

Squigs. Omg.

SQUIGS WEETY.

He looks amazing, I love his nasty spots that somehow do not detract from his bizarre cuteness. The subtle green on the nose and chin is a great touch

Glad to hear you are enjoying Skyrim too, There really is so much to do that its almost silly.
