Man, This should be called the 40k Injurys while modeling competition! Yeah it is not so bad now, the pain is slowly going away. Somehow or another, I Cut my thumb with my hobby knife... Never stops huh?

OMG...

Don't do it! Save your fingers! Throw all your knives away!

yeah but gnawed minis only works for scaven...

I need some motivation for my Ork project. Despite the inherent dangers, I'm IN!

Going to do an objective marker fir my character. Perhaps some Kommandos for squad?

This is unbelivable!!!! Maybe this is a sign

nahhhh good medling comes with a price tag that all... and you have to pay in blood...nothing special... so aviod epic conversions...because...well you know...^^

To bad competitions come with a price tag that includes a bounus of extra pain. Going to atempt to paint to night, Lets see if that happens.

i cross fingers for an unbloody session...

I'm pretty sure this competition is being closely followed by Khorne at this point.

It is^^ I was cutting up some peices of a chimera to make a diorama (FYI this is sorta unrelated) and got a plastic splinter!

Somewhat on this subject of blood and pain and such, I once again have no update but here is a photo from last week that should give you an idea of what has been taking up my free time. FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!

Just think, If blood is drawn,...... I can use it to paint the (Blood Red!!!)

probably not... as blood quickly tends to get rather brownish... also i bet if you would be to paint tanks and such things you would soon go quite pale... remeber safty first... making savings and bargains in hobby comes only second^^

Glad to see more progress, guys! I'm kinda in a rut, I'm working extra late hours on a project at work, and I had an expensive calculator stolen (I believe) and that is where my hobby money is going right now. So hopefully I'll get some time to slap some paint on my little project, but maybe not.

Nice models here.

Sorry about not updating in a while, but my internets down and we moved house, but that hasn't stopped production! ehehe ill get some pics soon

-dangerhawk

Yeah I will try to do my best.

I found the camera! Yay!
Here is an old WIP pic from weeks ago, and a pic of some of my painting progress.

lovely skin tone!

Thanks! It's quite easy really.

Agreed that is an ork-some (terrible pun, I know) tone, it actually looks skin like whilst most ork's skin don't. I should have updates soon, but real life has got in the way of things (as well as beginning Inq28!).

Thanks farty!
Any of you who are Gears of War fans might recognize his gorgon pistol, smoke grenade, and (not very visible in this picture) the crimson omen on his do-rag.

Overly muscled morons with a violent and limited vocabulary. Am I talking about orks or the GoW characters? Tough to tell. Awesome looking ork and a brilliant combination!

looking good susejo! Sweet model for sure

I know, isn't it just perfect?

I agree with everyone else, the skin tone you have achieved is great! Care to share the recipie?

The pistol looks strange (especially the extra mag) but it sounds like you have a reason for having it that way.

I hate giving modeling CC after there is paint, but I'm not getting the do-rag feel from the do-rag (when I saw the pictures I was trying to figure out if it was a helmet or a beret). I think yours is bulkier than a do-rag (which is basically skin tight) and needs some folds of cloth.

Good luck!

Yes, not to be critical, because I cant even use GS, but the do rag looks like a helmet

Yeah, its my first sculpt. The extra mag is there because its a gorgon pistol .
