First part of the Aporkalypse is ready to roll out!

"Aporkalypse"

They look simply brilliant, definitely exceeded my expectations with the scheme and execution! Was a good call to scrap the blue - just would've made things too busy, and take away from how menacing they look as-is. Lovely work Ramos!!

I just love those Ramos. Collectively they're just a joy to behold!

Those are absolutely fantstic Ramos - gorgeous work. Metals look perfect

Needs more Titan.

I agree, as cool as walking bacon is....needs more titan...

Fantastic work on the pigs - what are the models?

They have come together brilliantly. Was a little sus about the original conversions not being enough pig. But I will humbly eat my words as they are perfect. Absolutely perfect. Makes me reminisce about a snakebite boarboy and his cyboar....

wowzers Ramos! those aren't Boar-ing' models at all! your painting would 'roast' most others around here! I think you sit down and have a glass of 'swine' but don't hog it all! did you use a hog bristle brush for these guys? and did you paint listening to Amy Swinehouse?

Ughhhhhhhhh

Azazelx, the models are these:

These boars are actually a combination of Titan Forge Direwulfs, and bits from Mierce Miniatures Chaagmuth (which they sell in pieces) - namely the jaw and two limbs, which replaced the head and back legs of the Direwulfs.

Wehrkind did that conversion, and Ramos added the tanks and cables, to make them a bit more augmented looking.

Very nice Farm Animals! Glad you didn't go with the blue. They are menacing on their own. The Metals do look amazing.

If these are on your farm... you must be Dr. Arkadius

Excellently done. I think the rust works really well on these guys, and I really like the shiny tanks of fluid too - they make a great contrast to the browns

Edit: where are those tank parts from? I'd love to do something similar on the chaos warhound models I'm using in 40k

Nerd... You're gonna fry for those pork puns






@Archer: Ya know.... I think these guys would be right at home with a screaming warboss and his boyz atop them.... Ahh ye good old days of Clan Orks Appreciate the kind words, bud!

@SL: I knew youd come around eventually
Come to the Pork Side... We have BACON!!!

@Payne: Iirc, they are from the Talos Engine or some other Dark Eldar kit. There are a buncha different tanks to choose from.


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

Not pig-related, but Work-related: New mini from On the Lamb. The female variant for the Dark Knight!





I have 3 other minis for OTL, including 2 variants of Battsu (a special Knight), and the Behemoth- a mini that appeared on this blog a while ago... You might know him as the Polar Bear who skipped leg day

As far as the pigs, I have the silvers down and based on the big guys, and the last couple models built for the army. Now that I know the scheme, hopefully I can knock these guys out right quick!

Thanks Ramos! Sounds about right

Probably nice to change it up from painting so many pigs. I like the little bit of OSL on her base and the wooden plants are cool too

Very nice across the board! I can't wait to see those pigs on the table!

RiTides... Farm, Kinda farm.. same to me. I'll stick to scifi for now. I kinda thought the eyes should have a dot of red, give them a mad stare through the armor.

Ramos.. Bacon: I'm in. Bacon that wants to eat me, not so much.

ok.. so finish up those projects and get to the Titan step by step tutorial. I could use some gleaned knowledge for my Reaver.

Payne: Yeah anytime! And you're absolutely right- Always nice to have side projects going

@Wehr: Thanks! Should be getting some of these on their way to Tides soon- He mentioned he needed them to beat you in a few weeks

@SL: Will do!

Ummmm I heard there was a Titan around here somewhere? ....... nope, not seeing anything here......... how about under here!?.....nope not there either. Hmmmmm I wonder where it is?.....perhaps in the cupboard? perhaps in the pantry?.........



PERHAPS SITTING ON A PAINTING TABLE BEING IGNORED! OH YES THERE IT IS!!!!!

Ouch . Hey now, Ramos is a working man! Titan is on track for July I think

Is this our July? Or is this like a Prodos July......SOON.....but not for a while

I'm kinda thinking the second one, what with this guy having a real job now. Priorities are all out of wack.

Next thing you know he'll get married, start spawning, and tear down the wall paper . All while the Titan watches in pieces from its cardboard throne.

Brilliant piggies. And that OTL mini looks fantastic.

Did I say how amazing the piggies are!

Piggies = farm animals.. sorry RiTides , I tried.
they do look amazing and I have to admit the Croc's are by far my favorite.

SO sad.....SOMEBODY do something... OH the HUMANITY!!

Oh and I still wanna see some Marines Errant.. especially after the slight Nerd slapped you with in the Mantis Warrior comp. Let no blow go unanswered!

yes, a marine errant ridding on the shoulder plate of the Titan pointing down at a squashed marine painted in Australian colors.

He could do that Theo but that kind of effort should be better put into...........








................... BUILDING A TITAN!!!!

Man, no mercy in here

Titan main course is almost ready, enjoy your bacon-wrapped appetizers

Woman: So what do you do for a living?
Ramos: I paint little toy soldiers full time.
Woman:... I have to go to the bathroom.


I think we are safe!

Wow.... Is it cold in here or is it just me?


Im trying, you guys. Really trying!! Promise Ill have something to show soon.




Privateer interview is now complete, and I'm feeling a little off... It was so short and was over before I knew it. I dont think I made any missteps... Did all I can now, so its waiting.

I hate waiting...

The Director said hes gonna try to let everyone know tomorrow how they stand. who knows...

Fingers crossed, you guys :/

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you, too!

Well that shows the wrong approach
Woman: So what do you do for a living?
Ramos: I'm a professional painter, I set my own schedule and I'm featured in many blogs and articles. Sometimes I have to travel for shows, mainly in the US, but I might go overseas at some time.
Woman: Take me I'm yours........

he just has to keep her out of the "Studio" until after the nuptials. Also don't take her to Gencon until after your married and she's knocked up . After that point she's stuck .
