This was pretty funny!

Gits, will you be going back to more orks now that Adepticon's over, or focusing on Mantis warriors?

Also, guys, I think the avatar "borrowing" may have run its' course at this point. Just giving the hint . A time and place for everything and all that!

Looking forward to seeing more of your work, Gits, after getting to examine it in-person! Including your really cool Waaagh Dakka model, even

Yeah im gonna sack it off soon. It would be cool to see more of waaaagggh gitsplitta, its been a while now.

Oh no, Papa's telling us off

But we didn't even have as much fun as the alpharius gag!

Well, Gutsplitta actually had a perfectly good avatar of his own making before being convinced to mimic mine... so he'll be fine. The rest of you... NO EXCUSES! You'd best listen to Papa Tides before he unloads his moderatatorial beat stick on you.

@RiTides: Yep, have big plans for working on my orks, also helping the kids out with their Nids and Necrons. I'll still be doing MW on occasion... so their'll be a steady diet of those too. Right now I'm actually going to take a bit of time to finish a few MW models that I had *mostly* done, but not completely done. Then it'll be off to my orks... probably finish my grot tanks to begin with. I've also been sending Ifalna a steady diet of special orksies... which she does masterfully of course. That will continue and I'm hoping between the two of us we can get my ork army looking all proppa again.

Yes mr.Splitta, and Beat stick??! That sounds bad

Yeah, I guess it's the "Dad voice" coming out again .

Comparing it to the invasion of Alpharius avatars is a good comparison, though- awesome for it's time, but like anything else, the time comes when seeing a page full of the same avatar runs its' course

Like I said, really looking forward to seeing more here! I'm trying to get more active in this section when I'm able to check on at home and see pictures, and hopefully will be contributing my own blog for the rest of the dreadnought army soon. Good to start with following one of the blogging gurus on here

Fantastic! I've got so many pages to go back through and read, I think I need a summary... of your blogs I've been through the Mantic Warriors one the most, but even that one I've only really scratched the surface of.

@CaptainS: It IS bad.

@RiTides: I'll be anxiously awaiting your new blog... consider me subscribed!


Well, my little one built me a tankbusta for Christmas and is finally getting around to painting it all on his own. He wanted me to post his progress, so I'll put this on his blog and the other in hopes of schmoozing a few comments for him to read (he's young and uncertain... still needs lots of encouragement). I'm actually looking forward to getting this bad-boy in my force... only have one other tankhammer and someone needs to be free from shooting to release the bomb squigs!



I'll be getting back to my grot tanks soon... can't wait!

Love the MW head on a pole! Genius, very neat eyes for his age too, good job.

Thanks Vit... this is obviously just the first stage... and I'll help him along once he gets the basics done. It'll be right and proper by the time we're done!

I like the little rocket! Also... im pretty sure he's neater than I am when he paints

How old is he (10?)? Showing promise

8 yrs old. He can actually do much better, he just has issues staying focused.

It is quite good for his age, albiet a work in progress. That slugga seems to already be taking form, very clean paintjob with the metals.

Looking good so far Thing 2, love the Mantis head on the pole!

Thanks Gits. He's back! Good fun though

As for your boys paint job, well done! Looking great!

Big thing when my girls first started painting with me was to make sure I focused my time on them, instead of trying to be working on my own stuff at the same time. They never got big into mini painting, but both have really blossomed in their own art forms (paint on canvas, photography, ...). All about the encouragement.

Thanks all, I'll be sure that he sees your comments... he'll be chuffed!

@Guts: Words of wisdom... I'll heed them! ...and I LIKE your original avatar. It's your work and darn good. You should display it proudly.

Normally I'd say to thin the paints some, but I think he is off to a great start, and I'm sure with some Dad-help, it will turn out great.

I'll switch my Avatar while on midnight shift this weekend. Doing it from iPad is to hard to do.

It was fun to watch the shenanigans... but it'll be good to have the old WM back again.

I think I'm going back to my transformers avatar actually. I'm just not an ork kinda guy (my figure is currently in my brothers army).

Ah yes, the cyber cat with glasses... I like that one.

I really like the color combos he's got set up.

Keep it up Thing 2!

I appreciate all the comments guys, we went through them this morning and he was beaming! Hopefully, this will help keep him motivated through the next session or so. He and I called the pic of his mini up on the computer and we discussed his next steps. So far, so good!

Thanks Gits. Knowing your standard, that's a huge compliment. In some ways I feel like I'm learning to paint all over again. That figure was painted over 10 yrs ago (man I'm getting old), then I switched to a lot of historical stuff for years and now starting back into 40K and Orks. We'll see how my new Big Mek turns out (Ork Big Mek KFF - WIP)
