Haha, I spend so much time in the Plog section, I didn't even know this was here!

I'm in. Here are three of my "tall ratlings" squad for my Vostroyan IG army. No wetnoses in the sniper squad, veterans all!



So...uh...had to edit my submission The previous model is really fighting me on getting completed, so I'm switching gears to something else that I'm working on for my Vostroyan Army: two spotters and a shooter for my ratling squad. Should be doable in a week, no?

I'm with Rawson! I can't get inspired to paint Fistgar (how, I don't know... I should be, but I'm not), so I've got something else in the works. I have a proof picture ready but if acceptable I'm just gonna wait to toss it up with the completed photos. I'm not trying to be sneaky and submit something I already have done, I'd just rather focus on finishing the model before I go digging for photos.

Plus its so completely different from fistgar it might be more fun as a surprise

Update to my entry the Veteran Ghost ark. Been busy with school and other problems so haven't been able to work much on it, not sure if I will finish it in time so here is it's current progress.
Spoiler:







Now that it has some paint on it it is coming together a lot more

It's easy to assume that people arguing an interpretation you disagree with are just looking for an advantage for themselves... But it's quite often not the case.

Thanks. I've been playing necrons for almost two years and I've never done the normal color scheme. It is very different so I'm taking my time so I don't mess it up.

Moving my Battletech mech to the faster theme since they go pretty fast Just realized I am cutting this close!

Here is my new entry, please update my wip.

Also, getting the coat on a medic is a bitch due to cutting that lancer from gears of war to fit the slotta arm under the coat. I'm new to Scions, so... I ruined a backpack in the process thinking it was supposed to go on before the cloak.

Also, say hi to him. His name is Doc.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Finished!

I am happy enough with the model, I had to rush a bit at the end as I am on shift now until the end of the month so my painting time was up! For this reason it isn't quite where I wanted it to be, but I'm still pretty happy with the results.

So enjoy my Aspiring Chaos Champion, a bloke who is obviously sans-marbles, painted as one of Hakanor's Reavers.

I have completely dropped the ball on this one. School has been verily kicking my butt. I have a break this week though so I'm going to try to finish it up!

Forgive me now! Tomorrow I may no longer feel guilty...
