wow big name for something so in relevant as my tread.
but hé big names attract big names right?

well everybody who does a P&M blog has a reason a motivator mine is pressure. I cant produce with out pressure so i hope this tread will keep me building/painting. well more painting then building i only need 9 kommando's and 10 loota's to finish the list i am building but almost everything needs to be painted. and that only my orks i am painting a friend of mine his tau. don't expect supper skills or anything out of the ordanairy.

well back to the pressure i have 2 deadlines. one is for a 600 point per player team tournament and for that i need to paint
ORK ARMY:
- 10 loota's (WIP)
- 1 deffplane (basecoated)
- 1 deffplane (i just converted it)
- 20 boys (basecoated it)
- 1 trukk (base coated it)
- 1 big mek with shock attack gun (WIP)

TAU ARMY:
- 12 fire warriors (base coated it)
- 6 stingwing (WIP)
- commander (WIP)
- broadside (WIP)

and the deadline is on the 3rd of december (i know tight but the tau army has priority)

my other deadline is a little easier as it is somewhere in May. probably the first weekend in May. its a 1750 point per player setting you play alone but your score effects your team. its complicated its called Battle Of The Clubs or BOTC. Its basicly a GT for clubs and i am the captain of team Rising Empire 40K. we have a second team Rising Empire Fantasy who obviously play fantasy. our objective at BOTC is the Great Gamers award for most sportive club. this year we almost won with our FANTASY team (finished 3rd) and next year will be our first ever 40K team.

I will be working with my army list in mind so no drifting away painting up useless models although i like useless models. the List i am building is play tested against Tau (the army i am painting) and chaos space marines (also a BOTCH team member) and it preformed rather well. I like the way it plays and it is pretty effective against the two armies i used it againts a shooty army (tau) and a MEQ/close combat army (khorne zerkers, rhino's , deffy, abbadon , termies, predy's).

with no further delay the list (dum dum dum)

tommorow i will post pics of WIPS and some finished models

pic time
first the tau there is a test vespid and a commander in my usual color scheme.
i really like some feedback on the vespid. the idea was to make them lighter then the rest of the army which is dark. but to unite them into the army by painting the guns white like the rest of the army.
the vespid


WIP commander

i would love some comments and if you want other angles on the photo's just say so and i will take new photo's

Haha..
I totally dig the flying Ork boy in his crazy ass plane. ^^

which of the two? and i am happy that somebody likes them besides me. i tend to do things randomly and sometimes it turns out great other times it looks rubish

awesome stuff fatty!! I dig the colors for the tau and the looted dreadnaughts are great! Im not an ork player so i dunno the parts all that stuff comes from, but it all looks real cool .

thanks bebob
on the dreadnoughts i used the fantasy giant weapons and extra's. with random ork bits in place's and a drop pod missle launcher. but yeah i teand to do things randomly

The Mechano-drill arm is epic!

glad you like it. yeah the drill is a buzz saw as i use these guy's for turn 1 transport/tank kills

Well just a written update.
i did :
the brass on the two deff planes
began the metal on the deff planes
finished the squad of vespid
and the left leg of the commander

if anybody wants pics just post it and i will take them.

up next are two loota's one in blue the other in orange and white. just a compartment on color scheme

fatty wrote:which of the two? and i am happy that somebody likes them besides me. i tend to do things randomly and sometimes it turns out great other times it looks rubish

Especially the first one. The other is kinda big.

Good looking minis fatty. I like he planes look great, but I'd like to see that drill bit underslung. It seems like it'll get in the way of dem rokkits.

ps: PICS!

@enz yeah the second plane tends to look long but that's because of the drill. I like the fact that one looks small and the other big.

@TGG funny you say that because the first planes has the most problems firing missiles because the propeller is in the way. I will make a photo of the front so you can see

edit:
okay so i want to test my tournament list and where better then on a tournament. On 19 November there is a tournament which i will anent unfortunately with an unpainted army. so my next post will have some "conversions" or how i put it orky bits on a base and tell them they are commando's swimming in water. (which is why i have a hydroplane) which in turn is exactly what i want in the first place

Tomorrow will be an pic update featuring:
kommando's WIP
deff plane update
mayby some loota's WIP

well apparently i can't upload more photo's here as i am banned because i uploaded a pic of a pony and the car of a friend of mine.........
I wasn't aware that it was againts the rules to upload that. I will find an other upload site or contact a MOD but which? i will find out who goes over the gallery

mate if you hadn´t mentioned i wouldn´t have looked... but you have done so , and now i am here.... and i am suitably amazed at that bronzed monster...HOW? also i like the way you made the tau commader look like he is surrounded by lightning... very cool!

so i guess i have to follow you now more closley^^


vik

thanks Vik. the secret behind the brass is 3 washes. blue, purple and sephia in that order within 15 minutes of each other. so the washes flow into each other. that gives the strange effect

just to get it right... i need :

Asurmen Blue

Leviathan Purple

Gryphonne Sepia?

darn ... recently got me some asurmen blue but i lack the purple...^^

but it is a very nice idea...and i think it even looks oily that way...hmmm...since the asurmen is blue and the puple has blue too in the wash... might an experiment with red wash be an idea? also what was your undercoat? white, grey? of course no black^^

oh and are we talking diluted washes here or like... berserker thick brush loaded heavy with paint?^^

see...one day my steamkhnights have to get some paint on them and this bronzed up look might just be the thing to be done^^

yeah your right on the washes
1) its been basecoated with Tin Bitz
2) a heavy drybrush of brazen brass (out off production i believe)
3) a drybrush of dwarf bronze
4) a really light drybrush of chainmail

then the washes. I think the idea behind the washes is that there is blue in the purple so those colors blend into each others. and the sephia is there to bring back the brass.

but try it out and tell me how that turned out

ah now i see... of course the two washes can then blend into each other... but alas i will have to try out something different for now... i guess for just making cool looking bronze i don´t want to give GW another 3 €s for one wash...ah who am i fooling here^^

also i see tin bitz is again on the to buy list...ohoh...^^

I know your pain hahaha.
and all the paints run out at the same time.. always

yep they certainly have the dendecy to be together empty^^

as if this is a secret plot of GW...*shakes fist*

alright uopdate time. by my own stupidity i ignored the rules of photo posting and got banned from using the gallery. but luckly legoburner is willing to reverse his decisioun if i promise never to do it again. and i won't trust me.

I have a lot of progress done this day. all of my normal boys (45) have the first 4 layers for the bronze done. after this post i will begin washing them and then there almost done. only the clothes, skin and details. becuase they are mainstream models i don't want to give them to much detail or time.

i have made a loota with orange pants and white shirt. to be honest i do really like it. atleast better then the blue boy's but the blue boys are easier to paint and i have more models already painted this way.....

edit: washes done and i had a long long time to think and the orange white looked to clean for an ork so it's only blue.
the units need unit markers... i find it odd to have different colors or tattoo's with markers so i decided to paint half the base with a different color and the other half brown.

no modeling news just a message from the classroom
a turttle just cr@p all over the table pic comming soon

lol... whut? lol...

I am attending a trait school for animal caretaker and today's lesson was about reptiles so we handled bearded dragon, snakes and turtles but the turtle decided the teacher was scary and took a dumb on the table

lol... talk about retaliation^^

and you know, as a younter teen i wanted to become an animal caretaker too, that or become a veterinarian...instead i studied business administration...

haha well i wanted to become a crime scene investigator. and then a micro biologist (which i am) and then a para veterinarian (fancy word for assistant) but now i want to take over my boss his donkey farm talk about a 360 turn

Oh, I thought it was a vet who parachuted in to remote areas to heal animals lol

Ass-farming?

you want to boss around some donkeys...yeah... that makes sense^^ lol... no serious...why would someone want to part with a donkey farm...er... donkey farm??? why would someone try to raise many donkey in the first place... we have lorries now^^

but i really like the term para veterinarian... this sounds like red wine and cigartettes and barrets and a big syringe to make ill animals feel better and look cool while doing it^^

and... why does a mirco biologist work as an assitant on a farm? are jobs as scarce in the netherlands as they are in germany?...my wife has learnded to be social pedagogue but now works as a nursery nurse...

http://www.dekoperenezel.nl/

have a link. the site will become available in german and vik if you areever in the area drop by

this is a lovley thing! i tried to read a bit and when you are able to mix english and german you are pretty much un dutch waters language-ly speaking^^ i think this is a very nice idea...with kids and then this is a very good idea for a day outside! wish the netherlands wouldn´t be so far away for a spontaneus trip...

be sure to drop me a line when the time comes to have the site full in a language that i can read properly^^
