@tipios : yeah they are....

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SPACE_MARINE_APOTHECARY_SET.html

And Tzeentch is maybe the next step, actually.... Maybe for a "squad entry" at French GD in october ? That would be motivating ;-)

@ Vitruvian : Thanks ;-)
I think I probably keep the skaven as a side project anyway.... I would like to be able to paint a lot in a "tabletop" standard... But that is the hard part :-(

Oh yes, thats a good goal to go for!!

Glad you're back and motivated Yggs

My vote obviously goes to the grot militia (and their beaky 'masters' I suppose ), but it's all good wherever you take us

Tzeentch squad for GD seems as good a place as any to start.

Yyyyyyyyyyggggggggggs! Welcome back to the land of the unliving. Another vote for Tzeentch!

Also, you missed Adepticon. Be sure and check out the plans for a UK Dakka Detachment.

And, if you're out of everything else to read, I'm building an Ordinatus in 40K scale.

--B.

PS: 200+ pages of Gitsplitta is why you should NEVER STOP READING DAKKA.

Ever.

Good to have you back Yggs! Guess I'll put your GMS marine back on the short list.

Those are pretty incredible figures...

It's... alive! Good to have you back again, matey.

Welcome back Yggs, prepare to see almost nothing from me, except maybe a few necrons
also I've combined everything into one new blog, to make it easier

Can't wait to see what have up for us next!

Hey Yggs!

Welcome back to Dakka!!! Now get back to work you lazy !!!

Don't forget to PM me the next time you'll come around Paris (I might have more stuff for you ).

Cheers!

Joe

Hey Yggs, good to see you back. Looking forward to seeing whatever you wind up working on / presenting.

tipios wrote:Oh yes, thats a good goal to go for!!

They're not mine yet, but next order will see them get on top of the list

Hey, I guess both of your choices will be fulfilled in today's progress

Ordinatus ?!? OMG !!

I'll have to check that !

Erh... Yeah, I guess you can... After 2-ish years, I think my GMS will be pretty nice lol

Well, I was rather half-alive, as you can see from the delay I've spent before replying

Still, I'm kinda motivated by now, so everything should go back on track !

There you go ....

(Also... "Necrons" ?!? Ok, I have to admit it : their new models (and backstory) are rather appealing... and much more characterful than the previous versions !)

Ha ha, sure... It's been long since I last came to Paris... I'll have to think about it, now that my sister is on an internship in Boulogne-Billancourt (IIRC)

Any plans for GD 2012 ?

Thanks for the nice PMs, Skalk....

******************************************************************

Ok, small update today :

Group shot :

Worked on an Inquisitorial henchman

Sculpted a few GS bits on my Tzeentch Marines

Worked on a Tzeentch Sorcerer concept

Voilà !!

That's all for today, folks... Hope to hear from you soon, and I'll have to check what you did since... wow, 9 months or so ?!? Pretty scary uh....

Cheers !

Yggs.

Excellent work yggs!

Wow!

It doesn't look like you lost any skills while you were out on the edge of the world.

Keep it coming! Plogs have been way too quiet lately.

I saw this at the top of my subscribed list and thought some new guy bumped your thread. Really glad to see it's you.


Great to see new work from you. The Henchman is really creepy, kind of like one of those little nameless things that are always in the background of a John Blanche drawing. *shudder*. Great work all around.

In case you haven't heard this, the Chaos Cult is about to have rules. Like REAL rules, not some inadequate bastardization of the IG. 6th Edition is almost everything I had hoped for, and that's saying a lot. I have played 2 games so far and they were excellent.

Welcome back Yggs. Looking forward to whatever twisted madness you share w/ us next.

Woo, fresh pics! Looking good man.

Looking great to see your stuff again, and to know the other half of you is now alive. As for the figs, only thing I'm not quite sure about is the book at the front of the sorcerer it looks... Off, somehow.

Good to see you back on those models

Seriously! Great to have you back, Yggs! Love that little Inq henchman!

-Remi

Welcome back, looking forward to your next update.

Love it! Excelent work!

Lol, I did keep training even when I was deployed... But I could have lost more since I came home... 9 months without touching a single model is too much !

Hey, thanks ! I built the Twist on a hunch, and it worked pretty good, I agree... I'm also fond of the "additional" cast of the 40th millenium : servitors, henchmen, scribes, adepts, etc... They're some of the most flavourful characters in the 40k background !

I quite agree with you, graven... Sadly. I'm still debating over this model, actually. Since all Tzeentch Marines will be quite dynamic, I'm pondering whether to add a bit of dynamism to the Sorcerer, or further increase the contrast by modelling it as static as possible... And the book was an additional gear I had kept around for such models, so I tried to strap it on !

Still don't know uh...

My "modelling buddy" did bring my ticket for GD2012 yesterday.... So I'm in !

Thanks for that one, I knew I had to try and add a pink horror head to one of them, but it was quite hard to pull off, due to their large size ! I'm quite happy with the result, I'm glad you like it too !!

*************************************************************

Today's update : AIRBRUSH !!!!

I finally got to try the compressor + airbrush combo I had ordered last year, when I was in 'Stan ! With my "modelling buddy", Rama, acting as a technical advisor, I began painting some Incendiaries that were lying forgotten in a wardrobe...

I'm quite pleased with the result, for a start. I'm just disappointed with the white "flecks" that spread all over the model when I did the last highlight on the flames on the Incendiaries' back (see 2nd pic). It kinda spoilt the rest of the models, but I still think it looks promising !



Any help with that : ??


Thanks for looking !

I believe they'll tell you that your pressure is set too high?

Not too high. Either too low or the tip of your needle is bent. Those are my best guesses.

Needle is brand new, so I guess it was either too high or too low ? Could the water:paint ratio be another factor ?

Anyway, I've spent some time today furthering the highlights on the Incendiaries, almost to a pure white : looks pretty good (from a distance ) !!

And a bit of airbrushing on my Skaven nightrunners... Looks a bit too smooth for Skaven robes, but nice anyway !

If you don't remember the base models, here it comes :

Oh, you want updated pics ? Maybe tomorrow

Could be too thin a mix... are you mixing your own or using a pre-mix?

Only GW paints for now... :(

Here's the promised pic :

They look pretty darn good Yggs. I wouldn't sweat the small stuff.

Whaddya mean by "I wouldn't sweat the small stuff. " ??

Is it "you shouldn't bother with the details" ?

I think the flamer is looking really nice once the small details like the teeth and basing is done they will stand out more I think.

The Skaven is really nice, the different tones look just how I think a Skaven should look like.

Not exactly. More like "don't make mountains out of mole hills".
