A big group/platoon in that colour would look great.

The base really needs some work though...but you know that already. Would turning the base upside down look bad? Glue some reed effect grass in and then bung in some water effect mixed with muddy/pea green soupy paint. That way the model will be ankle deep in the muck.

Yep, a platoon of them will once sprout into existence.

I already done something very similar like you sugested. Only using PVH glue and an old brush

Pics will be up tomorrow.

(I should really stop using that many orkmoticons.)

save the effort... the thing with pva is, when you aply just a tiny amount too much on one minor place it stays white... had that idea too a coupla months ago...maybe clar nail color could do the trick...

now i have read the whole thread (well actually mostly scrolled, rescrolled and read^^ and scrolled again^^) and i have to say you are a very talented painter! no fussing around. like your red IGs and the choice of minis you used is cool, i envy your collection^^ those urban warfare minis will be considered for my team as well. i think you work with very thin paints and this gives the nicest touches! the pitbeast a coupa pages back wher the balst as the color of the skin is just plain awsome. also i take back what i said about your NMM saw that sarge with the headwound...cool and the NMM on that model is so convincing i kind of have to check and countercheck it with standard gw gold^^...

i think now seeing your blog from beginning to now your GS skills have grown considerably, one thing i would recommend is the use of gloves when doing GS...those cheap ones for sanitarian use...that way you keep your fingerprints to yourself and when you leave a mark with them you only create convincing foldings and all is good^^

also: your farinr (? spelt right? to lazy to read back yet again^^) look so cool!
i think you have a great range of characterful heads...mind telling where you got all of these cool heads? the metal ones?

seeing your work in this blog and how you now want to make a swamp/nam based terrain and fitting army...i expect awsomeness in a can, condesed and sweet^^

by the way...your necro work...again nice choice of minis and i like your different take on the whole theme, and kroots for munda is just plain cool^^

feel edgy to see more of yor stuff^^
and in the coming days i will digest your fiction^^

vik...who has said quite enough now^^

Thanks for the kind words.I have tried wearing gloves, but the greenstuf sticks to them. even when the gloves are wet .
You mean the Furith? Yeah, the heads are from call of Cthulu or something.
But, is will take a while before the swamp guardsmen will take form, I'm low on cash atm

But, I already went ahead with the PVH glue It looks about right to me. I think I will leave it as it is now.

pics:

the base actually looks quite good now... only thing i would have added a bit more of catachan green or another darker green on some parts as the main green used there is a bit too bright. the pva worked great it also a bit covers the boots and gives a soaking feel to it...the grass/brush bristles lok very convincing! good work matey^^
call of cthullu...did you need to chop up minis for that or are there sources that sell the heads seperatly? if so please name your source^^

Thanks ^.^
I'll keep in mind of using darker greens for the next models.

They were just bitz pacs, and I got them from a gaming convention. Crisis 2010, just like gamesday, but with less awesomesauce. I bhought it off an english stand selling only call of Cthulu models and bitz. I dunno the source, but I think you should check out their site.

okay will do that, as these heads really give that extra something^^

I found the packs by accident So you'll have to search thoroughly I think.

sounds like treasurehunting^^

Ugh...I've been searching for those heads for the last 10 minutes, but I can't find them. I've already thrown away the boxes, but I'm pretty sure they are from COC

well my own research has to wait as i am now onto more earthly needs... need to bring back the kids form the kidergarten^^

see you in the evening^^

i really like the mini and will consider a buy in the coming days...weeks... depending on my cashfllow^^

I have that model. I found him today while I searched through my bitzbox. I even have him armed with shotgun. So, I have him in two different poses.

Concerning the heads. I have found a sliver of the package It says Black Cat Bases. I hope that will give you some succes in your searches.

More pics tomorrow, I finished a piece of terrain, and I'l start work on the two masked ones. Delaque paint shemes it will be

after the hint of the black cat bases the hunt was succesfully over!

cool that you´ve found the sliver^^

and i saw the shotgunner too...will get my both i guess...i like them also on the ebayshop i found some minis that would look good as psykers or preachers...

well i seem to have sparked some painting in you on your necro minis again^^

and be sure to search the whole shop of theirs, as they have a range of cultists that would go very well too for your gangs... the feral cultists you just have to look up! you wont regret it^^

haha, yeah, I'm planning on starting up a new necro campaign once I tracked down my old necro buddies So painting more necro models is obligatory.

Yeah, that are the heads.

I'm checking the black cat bases website as we speak

full of win the site, and i have asked them if they do paypal...then i am fixed on quite some deals i think...

And they are cheap aren't they? You don't have to pay much to have these characterfull models Now, I have to find a way how I can pay for these Gonna have to ask my parents for a way I think...

this will hurt nonetheless^^ and it wont be over in a hurry...the range is stacked with cool minis...so much win ^^ for every need^^

been still surfing through their site...


a whole new necromunda themed gang?^^

hmm, I have come across the same one myself...Might be cool for a gang, but not one for me. Might buy themn paint them just for the sake of having them, but I won't play a campaign with them. I think

Now this one... I must have jut for the sake of having

hmmm not my style but i see where you are coming from^^

I like how he looks Ha, If I get him, I'l give him some spcial rules for necromunda. Maybe a stalker in the shadows of somesort.

he looks a bit like a black death medic...


also one of my topmost favorite of their range and a definite buy... even if it costs me a liver^^

:

The plague, you mean? Makes for more character then. A scavvy ganger who recieved the medic skill

I haven't found yours on the site. Looks like a nice model, but not very suitable for necro.

no but could fit the steampunk theme i am addicted currently to^^

and a plague doctor^^ yep that i have meant to say^^...would be quite cool to have in a gang...tho i saw better personifications of that theme... but for a scavvy gang i think it is like a twisted version of that same theme^^

Yeah, I have been thinking about a scavvy gang for long time now. Might have to grab some suitable models for them

look for their feral cultists... that could be a fitting thing,..

Yeah, they do look fitting. Might grab some of those along the 'plague doctor ( ) Just two or three models, otherwise all the modeling fun is taken out.

I think I promised I'd post some pics up today..Well, let's say, not today.

*sad panda face* well then the old saying run now to fight another day or to make it better situational related... hoping
to see pics soon^^


had a TALK with my wife...about amounts spent and such things...well lets just say my founds have been drained too^^
