That's a fair one, and as it turns out Little H is extremely good at packing a huge amount of figures in a single tupperware box !

Thanks mate, it was all Little H's doing really, he wanted them blue.

Spent the weekend chilling out and occasionally putting paint on the chaos marauders thingymabobs, these will be quite simple blocks of colour and some basic shading just to get them on the table.
WIP pics to follow.

Is it just their thingymabobs you're painting, or the entire figures?

The figures are really detailed and so much better than the old marauders but as this is a family show I’m avoiding thingymabobs....

Coming along great dude

I thought that looked a bit boring so I splashed a bit of blood on these little psychos

Thanks mate !

Ok so I got the Bloodthingymarauders finished. I had initially persuaded Little H do do this unit , so he assembled them, primed them black and base coated everything brown, then forgot about them. This left me with a unit to paint which really was a pain in the ass in the beginning but towards the end I kinda warmed up to them. They really are nice sculpts and have tons of details. Right now I might do a small unit of them later on my preferred white primer and spend a bit of time on them.
I mostly rushed thru this lot but I don’t think they came out too bad, let me know what you think !

I got some holiday and came home for a week, clearly that means I’d have to take Little H to Warhammer World and just as clearly I’d have to drop for a Necromunda boxed set !
Also went to the exhibition of the painted minis, good to see some of the old stuff I had as a kid and to see the skill level of the mini painters. Without being overly arrogant I’m pretty sure I can hold my own with my vehicles and they were a similar quality but the figures were absolutely phenomenal, particularly like the standard of the Lord of the Rings stuff, I literally cannot see those little guys

Anyhow had a couple of hours painting with Little H, he’s working on some Eldar jet bike and a Roboute Guilliman and I started some random Terminators Little H started months ago

WIP, let me have your comments and critiques !

So good! damn near perfect Deathguard interpretation. love the weathering and how you can still see the original colours. keep it up man I want to see more please!

I'd love to see a brighter color in the eyes and power weapons/claws. Would really make them pop.

I don't think he's done yet WM. I like the way they're looking though. The green and mauve look good with the bone base.

Thanks Gits, I was hesitant to use the mauve colour, it was actually pink that I darkened with blue and a dab of brown as I had run out of red !

I got the terminators finished today, they turned out quite nice, I did the airbrush work with out masking up the minis and there are some really small areas of over spray, but it mostly looks intended
Based as per Little H's request !

Good job on the Bloody McBlood guys, and the Nurgles look great.

Very phantom-like. If you rigger up a smoke machine, they'd be some straight black library come to life stuff.

Very nice

I'm with WM on that, Those would look awesome striding out of mist/smoke

Nice work Big H. I like the contrast between the brightly colored figures and the bare, cracked earth below them.

Nice stuff Big H

Thanks guys ! Hmm if I just buy some Cuban cigars and exhale thru a tube would that work as a smoke machine......

Thanks Gits, the cracked earth is Little H's go to basing medium, because he basically has to do nothing ! I just jazzed it up with painting the base dark brown first and adding some purple and flesh shade wash in patches, then I light dry brush.

Thanks Joe !

Well, I've returned to work, but what a week Little H has had, he's been cranking out some really nice stuff, we work like a Tag team , me on the airbrush him on the hairy brush and I go round tweaking bits as we go along, see what you fellas think !

Bare in mind Little H is 14 ( not really little any more , he's 6 foot ! ) and most days would chew his own arm off rather than paint !

You missed a mold line on the last guy's left foot.

Thank you, but I really must correct you, Little H missed a mold line on his foot, in fact he misses all the mold lines as he's a lazy arse !!

Thanks for stopping by Gits !

Solid work there from little (medium) H.

Very effective masking on those harlequin bikes, great effect.
