Lol - reminds me of my first model daubings! The paints look good - I like valejo model colour, but never tried army painter dip wash, I hear it is easy though. What an extensive mixture of things! Bretonians look to be the most extensive, but it looks like you have enough orcs to put up a fight with

cool a gamorean fighter...that could be a cool looking ogre/ogryn...now i have to scour ebay for a chance...

so much joy in one update i dont know where to start , as i am sure you have the same problem , with so many classics really like the look of those bretonian knights , really nice , look forward to seeing those in colour , and what a cool adition to the orc blood bowl team but wheres the Rankor beast tsk tsk tsk.
i also like the heroquest stuff , i was always partial to that game ,especially the set pieces. and now you have the paints , so its all gonna kick off

Weet...yes loads of Orcs. Currently trying to work out a. how to paint them in a classic 80s style, and a army list. I have only ever played WFB 1 time...and now I have two complete armies...

Vik! I was thinking of using him as a Orc Giant!

Neil! Yes...no idea where to start...got some minis stripping already... I might start with a squad of each so I don't get board.

Probably:

10x Cadians (Yellow, Grey, Bone white)
10x Orc Archers
10x 36th of foot (redcoats)
10x Sigmarite/Flame Falcons SM
10x Breton Men at Arms...

So. I never need buy warhammer stuff again.....

I would say that was a 'forlorn hope' geddit?

So. I never need buy warhammer stuff again.....

as if thats gonna happen...

Vik! I was thinking of using him as a Orc Giant!

that could be a cool conversion... what size is he? how tall does he stand/lumber ?

your list really starts to sound like work...urgh...i am now getting the idea i shan´t envy you ...

Ok...yes...I may have been telling a porky pie (lie) as I spent a good 30mins yesterday daydreaming on GW store page at the green knight. I have always had a fascination with the green knight...and also long bow men.

Where I am from you are allowed to shoot a welsh man with a long bow. We had such a great time as kids...

Joke! Haha. But yeah. I will buy more stuff eventually...but, not till everything is painted....

lol sounds like a law from the time of edward long shanks...

yeah pretty much is - but I thought it was with a crossbow, and it had to be from the walls of York? The longbow I think is for Moors, when in Westminster.

Alas, although the laws haven't been repealed, they have been superceded. By, y'know, Murder laws.

@OP - I've just invested in my first sheet of plasticard, planning on scratchbuilding a Griffon or a Medusa. I'd love to see your Lightnings if you've still got 'em around?

Lifted my paintbrush for the first time in a month last night. Work has been hellish, coupled with visitors, and moving flat it's all been pretty exhausting!

Hoping to get a few models done! Pictures as soon as I find where I have put my camera.

Ah. And it is Welshmen, on Cathedral Close, on a Sunday!

Funny thing, I often think my town would be better if it was Welsh...which of course it used to be according to its Charter!

Oh and Ill take some better pics of my scratchbuilds....

good to see you again^^

hey Manoknok , life sounds hectic matey, look forward to seeing more of your crazy creations ;-)

Man you're stuff at the moment neil is truly epic!!

You've got to enter some of it into comps! Or put it on cool mini or not! Have you finished that true scale chaos guy choking a catachan!

Anyway, yes! Will post stuff! Life is hectic too! You know when you agree to do something thinking it isn't much work, then find out that in fact it is a huge pile of doggy doo?

That is my job at the moment!

well there IS the saying

It never rains but it pours

....

Vik: Yes, there is you could also it never rains but it purs. That of course is for when it is raining cats and dogs.

Two pretty pics. Sorry off of my phone as I can't seem to find my camera. When I do...I am going to line everyone up nice a prettily.

well i can see your washpot crystal clear^^ lol

the commander of the praetorians looks very promising, and i have to congratulate you for your absolutly tidy workspace... as task i am unable to do so myself...general messyness is all around^^


vik

Thanks....

...That would be because it is my only table currently. My 'other' work area, is a sink I have to use in my bedroom, full of models half stripped, paint (wall type) brushes, WDwarfs, cards from various games, and unmade models...

I am going to get some PS Tamiya spray, yellow for Sigmarites, and red for the IGs....

Mano

They look pretty, now for some zulus .

And there was paint.

3 hrs spent painting this am. Just on red and yellow. Nads...this is going to take a long time!

17/58 red-y.

What do you think? Just blocking in for now.

M

yep all look good Manokky, the touch of bluue is nice too. but the falg has a real nice sublety and contrast.

yep that banner looks really good! and again i have to say that colse kill is so rad!^^

Afraid you lost me there vic...which one do you mean?

Btw...flag is no where near done. These guys will look like the walked right out of Sharpe and in to the 41st M. eventually!

Showed them to my partner. She said they looked like space men. Which is guess is a sign of success?

"The Trooper" by Iron Maiden will go with the troops.

at manoknok
i´ve meant the kneeling soldier wielding laspistol against lying soldier pointing at his head...

Redcoats now have black.

Cavalry now have air-steads!

I have at least 3 more riders to make (and four my arbites yay). I am not particularly organised so not sure how many bikes I have left, but I think more than three. I will either convert, or order some more Perry minis. The guy with a beige hat is bottom half perry top half IG GW.

Wow I feel like the last course of a meal.

Desserted.


Anyway. I finally finished a model last night. A Psychohobbit!

Will just do his eyes green for gread.


Pie for the pie god!
Cake for the cake thrown!

so you feel like pudding? or possibly yoghurt? well please share your feelings...do continue...^^

last time i checked in i could not comment something useful...but i will do now nonetheless as some peeps are used to my banter^^

the black shakos look promising and totally the part!
what i am feeling a bit difficult is, are the jetsteeds... while in concept cool as can be, the actual look is uneasy...how will they steer these bikes? and i think as of now the riders sit to much in front row of the bikes...is that understandable? like they would topple over their bikes at the merest breaking...this could be fixed by making a means to steer the bikes... a handle and possibly a bigger/ longer nose for the bikes...

er..."Pie"??? this is surely the oddest oddity i´ve ever seen^^...call about a nasty self inflicted accident during self tatooing...^^


vik

Vik! Haha...no I was just complaining no one had posted for a while! I am going to start painting the rest this weekend. Assembly line painting seems to work.

Yes I know what you mean about the jetbikes. I think it is because they are the original ones. If you look at early pics of jetbikes with chaplains on they are holding onto thin air!

Would be loath to alter the bike, but might try and sculpt on some handles or reins.

My aim for this weekend is to finish my Golfag's Ogres. That will be my first unit complete of anything...ever! 3 models to paint.

After that...I want to do a unit of orcs. I lined them up all last night and did some research this am. I am pretty sure that I have Ruglunds Armoured Orcs and Harboth Half Orcs. And er...

I've done some ebaying. I bought some stuff for my Albion Army, and got a decent price! There are 4 other models that I want for my albion army. I also got hold of two old regiments of renown. I'm looking at a few other bits and pieces. Namely the Giants of Albion...

Anyway. Thats about it. I have no idea what to do with the Bretonnia stuff...

oh if push comes to shove ypu could donate the bretonians to a worthy good cause... namely me^^
that aside, seems you found hidden pockets of budget in your overall plans^^
mabe you could get a hold of some cheap lego bits to go for reins or handles for the bikes like:

they are not too expensive and since i have these also in the kids toybox i know its scale might fit...

Hey Guys,


So. Here is my chaos stuff, as someone wanted to have a look. 10 Oop termies (one of which appears to be a chaos libraian). Some badly done models. 6 bikes and a rhino.
