You have to take me out to dinner first sweetie.

Dorito dread needs something. If he hand fingers, I'd say dust them orange. As it is, he must have someone else feeding him, so put some orange around his mouth. Maybe a spot on his forehead... you know, where the first one hit.

Or am I thinking cheetos? Am I making sense at all? BTW, waiting for Thing#4 to make his appearance... should be any time now. Neither the wife or I am sleeping well, hence my rambled, addled, post.

Looks great, Gits. Looks great.

“Rust Weathering” might sell better then “Cheetos fingers”

You could add some ration pack debris on the base as well. The is an EC dread after all. You know they are hitting the weed and getting the munchies.

LOL! You guys...

@Anpu: Sincere wishes for an easy transition for Thing 4 into the world (and mom of course).

Hoping to get some work done this weekend. Unfortunately Thing 1.0 picks up a new Hordes figure tonight which means I won't have access to my painting table until he's done painting it. Get my boat out of storage Saturday AM, Thing 2 soccer game Sunday... one thing after another I guess. Life goes on...

Nice purple, good to see you getting your mojo back.

About sharing with the young huns (sorry, I meant young ones, Idon't know where that came from), I couldn't agree more. As I see it, it's a lost battle, so you might just as well enjoy it! And remember, you brought it unto yourself!

Jokes apart, sharing the hobby with the kids is great, even if it leaves us out of the painting table for a while!

Any updates to your EC gits?

Not yet MA, but I will be making significant progress on the army during the run-up to Adepticon next spring. So over the winter I'd expect some major movement on this front.

Can't wait to see what you put out Gits!

Public Service Announcement

Hello friends!

This missive is to let you know that for the time being, my 5 P&M blogs (Mantis Warriors, Bad Moon Orks, AdMech, Halloween themed Chaos and 30k EC) will have all their updates appearing on a single blog (my “Rebuilding the Mantis Warriors” blog… which will get a new name). Why? With my interests so scattered across multiple armies and terrain & the fact that I’m just not painting at the hundreds of figures a year rate that I used to… I’m not making enough quality posts to keep 5 different blogs going. I’ve got a few die-hard friends and supporters that still post… but not enough to build or maintain the community that has always been the strongpoint of my threads in the past.

If my circumstances change and I start painting enough to warrant re-opening one of the specialist threads, I’ll do so... they aren’t closed, just inactive. In the meantime, as of today (Feb 11th, 2017) I’ll be making all of my P&M posts (for all armies) on what has always been my “home” on DakkaDakka, my Mantis Warrior thread. I hope you’ll join me there for the latest updates!

Thanks!
Gits
