Perhaps a purple Glaze or two rather than a wash?

I really like the Warbringer's base too. Very jungle ruin feel to it.

Beautiful work, just beatiful.

And the last guy looks brilliant, scarring on scalp looks bloomin sore.

Cheers dudes! I washed the armour again with purple and it does look good, probably not much difference for a pic but I'll show you when i do more during the week unless you really wanna judge? lol

and the more I look at the EW (Emperors Warbringers) from here on :-) I really like the feel, the jungle ruin marble base is nice and I hope to make them different to my other army via theming, I have been re reading all i can about the Imperial Fists so I can get the vibe for them and I'm thinking iron banding and metals, with not many accessories? now i need to go searching for more 'bits' to bring that all to life!

Good call on Fulgrim. Lovely work on the EW, might be worth looking at lizardmen bits for adding to your ruined Tempe aesthetic? I suspect those folk doing salamanders will have bits to spare from hoarding shields. Worth a punt.

I wanted to do the emperors warbringers years ago, glad I didn't because after seeing your work my painting area would be a mess of smashed miniatures . Everything looks great nerdfest I like Fulgrim as is, the color really does show a change in the works starting at the head of the legion.

Nice detail on fulgrim so far, I remember painting one for a mate and shying away from the vibrant purple as for me it didn't fit his aesthetic, the godl however is on another level, wow!

Hey Knightley, thanks man, I want to darken the purple more now but I'm hesitant incase I lose the colour which is kinda his trademark, but really the model should speak for itself as to who it is? I mean, it'll still be purple but dark purple......

also, just saw Imperial Titans are coming! :-) just saw my wallet take a hit! just saw my mrs get shirty!

aaaand, I need a good cartoony style space marine helmet picture in black and white? anyone know of any sites i can peruse that's not deviant art (work blocked) I plan on using it for.... something

How about this for a marine type helmet? It's in black

Nope, that's not in black - that's broken

Well it's fixed now

You sure?

I can see it , guess its some troll issue, or a monkey issue, or a monkeytroll issue . I really don't want to know how a monkeytroll comes about, seems like poor breeding to be sure.

I can't see it... And I'm a powerful loveless billionaire.

Yeah no love for mr either Theo! you having us on bro? :-)

I cant see it either, but can tell what it is from the url.

Not having you on the pic shows on my screen . It's a picture of dark helmet from spaceballs , this is usually how my jokes go over in real life so........

I can only see it if I plug the url into the address bar.
Try this instead:


No that image really doesn't work in DD.

Well I hope you see Dr. H, cause I cant .

Edit: he fixed it while I was typing, but its. Totally different picture of him

Well now you know what everyone else sees.
But even I can't see it in my post...

Ahhhh Dark Helmet lol! There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry Lone Starr!

What's that coming out of its .........(nope, better not go there)

We're being jammed, sir!

No poor breeding here good sir - only the finest genetic engineering can combine the looks of an ape with the brains of a troll....err, no hang on..that's not it....the foul fish-breath of the troll with the gak-flinging of the.....no no, that's not right...the...no. Something to do with hamsters and elderberries...? Not quite there...um....Ah, got it! Oh no. Definitely not that.

Anyway...nice helmet.

Some of you will groan some of you will bemoan! and some will shake your head in sadness but it's sadly come to the point again where real life trumps models and I sadly need to part with some more of my collection, this time it is going to be my rather lovely Imperial Guard army but I really don't know how much to ask I'm at work at the moment so can't do an inventory until the morning, I just thought i'd crack the ice to start and work from here there's a lot of models and extra's certainly enough for a force in itself especially with rumors of a new codex soon too!

don't feel too sorry for me though, I do still have more marines than I can poke a titan at to paint, so i should be able to be strong and carry on but certain things have forced my hand this time, nothing too serious and in the long run it's good stuff but at the moment I need to try and grab some funds to get us sorted over the next couple of months!

I feel better just starting to talk about it! maybe down the line I'll re visit guard but for now......

Sorry to hear that you have to part with more of your beloved models nerdy. Very sad. :(

It's not that bad Gits, it's sad no doubt but it's for a good reason and nothing too bad in the works behind it! just need to prioritize is all......

It's always sad parting with models but if needs be then its the best thing and you still have lots of Flesh Eaters to paint.

I've just parted with my guard army, I sympathise. Tedious as it is I would say sell it piecemeal as I made a good 50% more than I expected to for the lot. You're looking at roughly 40% of retail, btw.

MMMmmmm since I bought Mr Gravens army!!!!!! I can't afford to buy yours Nerdy.


(50%??????????????????????)
