Hahaha! Thanks moonpie.

These are actually my own Khador minis, so I was able to paint em however I felt. I just figured that snow base= white rim. Helped that I had 2 different little shades of white that I was wanting to play with.

HahaHa!

So, basically I am jerk.

It would make sense in GW bases. That's how Ice does his bases. The only reason that offends me is because Ice did it, not because it looks bad.

The WM rounded lip thing though. Not my style. Though it is good gaming etiquette to delineate front and back arc. It matters.

That was very exciting indeed very nice Khador models. I tend to do my base rims black as well as I like the separation between model and gaming table.

It probably has something to do with goblin green many years ago as well

Looking forward to the knight is that for WM or another client?

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with Moon. I think a black rim would make the snow base pop more honestly. It kind of blends in with the rest right now.

GX - It's mine. Also going to be another battlecannon Knight with the FW armor upgrade to be the Warlord.

The red on those Khador jacks is really nice!

I have a suggestion on basing, which I've seen done before - half black, half white. It will signify your front arc, but let you keep part of it white . Worth trying on a test base, maybe (this is why I'll be laser cutting arcs for the gator bases, too).

Yeah, beautiful work on the red.

Allow me to throw in on the discussion. I like the white base, and the subtle arc marking/effect is aces.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Oh man, I didn't even see that! That's well done, as the high contrast arc markings can be visually jarring sometimes. Very cool

Ramos!

White on White is totally right.

Don't listen to Moonpie, or whale for that matter, lol. Black rim on a white board would detract from the model and lure your eye away from the great paint job. Bases should blend in not create a contrasting visual barrier between model and board.

Oddly I don't see any Marines Errants with white bases.. I must have missed them.

Looking forward to the Imperial Knight.... Pink and yellow, pink and yellow!!!

Pink and yellow sounds good will fit in nice with WM's Slaanesh marines.

Yep pink and yellow it is

Sorry, Swap Shop Mods whose names start with large aquatic animals votes count for 4776031. Double if they have numbers at the end of their names. Keep the campaign going tho, you'll get there.

only 9,552,060 to go .. come on all!

Pink and Yellow!

Do we get bonus votes if we've gamed with Ramos in the past two weeks?

Sure, why not. But just 1.

I vote for white on white. Bases should be creative. (I think black would be better for your khador though.)

So why do I say this?

I want to watch the world burn.

Excellent! I've got use 2 votes boys!

So I got a game in with Ramos in the past 2 weeks, and I am Ramos, does that mean I get double double votes?

And then there's the little known "Painter's Rule" (it's a few paragraphs after the aforementioned SwapMOD Aquatic animal and number rule, WM, Im surprised you missed that). If I recall correctly it concerns commission painters votes in this situation. They get p^n votes, whereupon "p" is the number of points painted previously for the client (standard practice is 2 years from the date of the start of the vote) and include 60% of in-progress projects and models. Variable "n", then, is then the number of different gaming systems those points were collected from.

Check and Mate, good sir. It is fortunate that I had these paints on hand:


No need to thank me. Its all in the line of duty



So if the above photos were any indication, I've been busy building! This time around, we wanted a more dynamic pose for the plastic Knight, as he was to be the warlord, so I had to cut apart the legs and re-position them. I was able to reuse a lot of the existing leg pistons with just a little cutting. For those that needed more length I used a handy piece of brass pipe I had around the workbench.




Because its the warlord, we have the FW upgrade kits for the armor plates.
Pretty nice detail on these, and the castings are sharp. They fit pretty well in their respective places, too. No major bending or deformations.


Just need a bit of greenstuff to cover some minor bubbles on the casts and a few gaps from the conversion process.

The other project on my desk is the FW Castigator. Right now he is sitting as you see him in that first image- just the legs and feet. Again, the casts here are really sharp. The kit is really pose-able too, if the legs are any judge. Reminding me a lot of the Warhond kit, funnily enough.
Typical forge world, really



As far as the Khador bases.... You all make good points one way or the other. I dont actually play Warmachine, so at the moment they are just shelf models.
I think Ill just call them done for now and come back to them later.

Till next time guys.... I have some Knights to paint pink

I had to reread the sentence about greenstuffing the shoulder pads. In my mind I read, "Just a little bit of greenstuff work to turn that horse head into a unicorn."

That would go extra special well with a pink and yellow Knight, a color scheme I will, in this particular instance, waive the licensing fees on. You're welcome, Whale. I won't hear the end of this from my IP lawyer, manager, and CFO, but they need to remember who the boss is.

It almost seems, Whalemusic, that you are resistant to this best of color schemes ever designed by man(but inspired, of course, divinely.) This is what doing you a favor looks like. What else would you paint them? Pink and yellow gets people's attention and sets them apart, it sets them aside from the legions of red or black or blue or whatever everyone else has done. There is also the wargaming rule of pink as immortalized in my sig.

Super excited for this.

So begins the revolution...
Greatly appreciate the profound spiritual revelations and support from the prophet Moonpie as well as the legal interpretation and explanations of point values and unicorns. ( things not often associated or used concurrently in singular sentences.)

The knight looks great. I like the base and it become obvious in similarity to the Warhound because so.

Who knew a big box of beat up IG tanks would have come in handy?

Ramos. I just went to your site on my phone. There was only a two paragraph home page. No links to your stuff only a link to on the lamb games. I thought you should know.

All hail the Unicorn Knight!

Well that's almost enough to make me get a knight of my own xD


@Ice: Hmmm... I actually dont know how its formatted for mobile devices... Ill ask the tech guy and see.
I did use a bit of an unusual template for it... maybe thats whats messing with it all.

====================================


Still building the resin Knight... no interesting pics there!

In other news, I'm just about ready to launch the site now- just gotta polish up a few things and its game time!

I just had a quick look at the site and its really slow loading up the different tabs in Chrome.

Whale's quote is misspelled on your feedback page.

Unless you provide "through" communication, because there is nothing between his ears to block or absorb sound waves.

AWESOME.. The site looks good .. now we have top fill it up so the galleries are brimmin!

I love that titan on the cover page!

But its not readyyyyyyyyyy *whine*


Well I appreciate the feedback anyways. Im actually skying with the web guy right now so we can work out issues and

Gallery tabs are a known issue to be a bit slow... hmmm.... May be a future upgrade.

As far as whale's quote... weeeeeelll thats what I get for not proofreading stuff I get sent xD Thanks moon!
