Got a bit of time today - was looking after vomitus #2 son but got occasional non-exorcist moments - and made progress on odds and ends. No photos (sorry) for chaos rhino for SR base, vindicator or razorback, and the following are still phone pics BUT still...

Gms beakie:

Basically done; a better pic tomorrow, hopefully, for the gallery.

Some work on my Wild Wild West mech:

More armless than Legless but still. He's designed to be removable from the tank so playable in his own right. Kromlech greatcoat and commando head, black cat topper, IG pads for epaulets (fringing tbd) and old stubber barrel as exhaust on hat (so it's, like, an actual stovepipe hat...) I have no idea what, if anything, to arm him with.

And in situ, on the mega dreadfiler.

This too is largely done. Needs orky glyph plates over the chaos stars on leg joints. Nevertheless, rather happy, especially the gratuitously large exhaust. Wonder whether the kill Kannon needs to be a bit more... Killy? That's all though really, bar the addition of a fist full of Gnoblars.
Ok, sons are asleep, wife is asleep, I'm going to take the hint.

Later (really)
Graven

Dreadfiler's looking great, very nice.

Just lacking some wires maybe?

The mek is wonderful. Black cat hey? I'll be off that way then, every ork army needs a topper or two

Wires - to true. I had plans for cabling that went by the wayside. But, they shall be restored. Oh my yes.

Black cat bases; yeah, an excellent source of really random bits. Pm me your address and I'll throw some oddments in a baggy.

So much win in one post, the WWW Ork Mech is just the icing on the cake, his top hat is perfect!

The crab defiler conversion is quite awesome, it's already got me considering options for a conversion I've been thinking about...

Ooh! Confess!

Final pic of Howard's fig:



Really happy with how this turned out. C&C appreciated as ever!

Graven.

mould lnes

Really? Where?

I think she's looking at the outside of the left engine pod, below and across the eagle...

... Dang! Good catch guys. You know, it's really obvious to me now, yet throughout I just didn't see it. It had been removed and punished for its heresy.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
What's also apparent to me more generally is that, given repeated prodding, I can get a fig done pretty quick, so... Poke me! Corpses of chaos are next on my to-paint list, so prod me and I'll get em done. I'll prioritise their painting by whomsoever prods me first, second and so on.

I shall poke with with Lady Gaga if I must.

*Poke*

Ah yes. Poke her face.

DSS is #1!

Pokes With baseball bat.....

Duly poked! Wife off out for her work's Xmas shindig, so if the kids settle, Extinction Angel and Night Lord will receive some lovin.

*Pokes with Miss Dee*


Your move.

Pawn to queen's bishop 4? Or, Fallen Angel takes #3 slot.

*Picks up handy buzzsaw for poking duties, catches sight of a GMS grot STILL waiting for final details and carefully puts buzzsaw down and backs quietly out of the room*

Monkeytroll shows restraint and wisdom...

First kid asleep? Check. Second kid asleep? Check. First kid immediately awake from coughing fit? Check. Kid now dozing on my lap. Graven moving anywhere anytime soon? Uncheck . Kid causes self to puke through strop? Graven relocates with child to sofa where there is tv.

*chuckle*

Ain't fatherhood grand??!

Time for another poke! Put that child down and paint! Lol!

Agh! Stop touching me! ReaperMan, consider yourself next on the list.
Quick photos, of some WIPs of you red hot pokers:
WM360's Fallen Angel


Gits's Horned Locust


Miss Dee's Night Lord:


DarkStarSabre's Extinction Angel:


And Monkeytroll's Violator:


I dedicate this post to kid nurgle, my very own plague marine...
Actually I think the poor little fella's given himself a wee hernia from all the coughing so, off to the dr's tomorrow.

Obviously, there's more to be done on all but initial thoughts much appreciated (again with poking; it's positively fetishistic...)

Later,
graven

Not finished are they?

Lordy no. And for the record, I bloody hate painting night lords, it turns out

Gits - it comes with age apparently

All looking nice so far graven, basic schemes look good.

I'm really liking the whole of the Locust, the flesh wash(?) on the scythe and the colour on the Violater's claw.

Hope your kid is feeling better.

Thanks matey. I have since discovered that according to fluff violators never remove any part of their armour except to face a especially worthy for; head swap needed?

Cheers mate. He seems a bit brighter today, but it def is a hernia.given his history (open heart @ 5 weeks) it's not overly surprising that there's weakening in his chest wall. Should disappear in time though.
Also, you are duly considered to have poked.

In other news, I have been also poked by Farmboy, and fellow lurker Uncle Truth has requested the lords of decay. Chaos rhino (mk1 rhino provided by my pal Dougie) will be Blood Disciples and am now thinking of having one of his solar gryphons on the "ram" which is a maw using the old curved chimera blades.

Nowt done tonight, my turn for works' night out (well, night in) and then a frantic weekend of parties. I am going to crash and burn... Still, nearly the school hols

Later hombres.
graven

Unaware of any violators fluff so can't really say there But if that's right then surely the knight that cut him in half was 'a worthy foe' ?

^ Valid. Dang. Also, pm me your address that I might send you bits.

Glasgow, in winter, at midnight, is cold. Who knew?

Nice looking marines there Graven with a cool mixture of bits. The scythe is definitely a favourite though I must say.

As for the other matter, I wish your boy all the best and Get Well soon, its never fun to feel poorly but especially so at this time of the year.
