There would be a huge hole in your lives if it weren't for my insanity, so I'll take that as a compliment Being Thanksgiving and all.

sadly i forgott what minirange they are from... the force consists now about 20 minis...a more `munda aproach to an army...i think this could be interresting for him...i am betting he will be a good RPG player...
So my out-of-school hours in school are over, but now I have exams for the next two weeks and what's with the ghost-town of a thread? Progress, progress, progress! *clapping hands together at each word*

well... as for progress... yesterday i went into the cellar and primed me some of my stuff... sadly no steamknight where primed in that effort... i am really in some sort of burnout with these... the needed GS work will not come to me... also...i won´t get away with no rivetmaking on them... but i can´t atm bear with that... so i thought...being the riveter... i could start working on my gang of riveters...:
that is an old pic... just to refresh the memory...
tomorrow i will show you nice and shiney pics of daylight... of the work i am currently doing to them...
also i built a warmachine light warjack...
note not my work here...i took no pics atm so this is only a stand in... but pics will follow shortly...
so i hope this thread will spark up some new life support^^
cheers, vik
and at shrike... nice to have you back for a short glimpse^^ and i cross fingers for your coming exams...i know that it seems like the end of the tunnel is a nearing train...but some day all is over and the coming holiday season will then be all too more nice for you!
Yaaay riveters!! Vik where are you going to put rivets on the warmachine!!! it seems like they beat you to the punch

yep^^ with warmachine minis the riveting is over even before i could have a go^^ well ...there is still room but...
as promised here are the pics of my recent work...
at rogue...they are more of the spirit of the riveters instead of resembling actual members... for some reason i am not up to the task to medle with GSatm...
the warjack...
he will be getting a wooden boiler and i hope i can make a little glow effect on the vents and the boiler door as well on the eyevisor...we will see about that...
and the riveters...
do you think a matching scheme is better or would you think that an individual paintjob on them would be better?

thanks dave!
i know if you zoom in there are some difficulties with the basecoat of some of the colors, but i guess some more coats of paint will solve that...
I wouldn't worry about that, the paint never really "pops" until that one highlight layer anyways. I haven't had the desire to even pick up a paintbrush lately myself.

It's still green. This time of year real life gets in the way methinks.

And I like the existing scheme personally.
So what will they be classed as (if they were in a game)? Techpriests?

I've brilliantly decided to build These and also American Civil War Playmo Armies Vik, that way, the cannon and horses for Cavalry can be used for both games
