Had some time tonight to do a bit of P, if not M.

However, first I should share this fine fellow from 1-i:

Love the helm of that torso, very p-h.

I also got these lovely magnetised dreads from Warone:

Not actually sure what to do with them, mind...

On the subject of stuff fom other folk, I think the BT-DW is done - yay/nay?

Redid the face a bit.


I do love that head!

Oops. Typing fail.

Beer-related mishap...

Sevitors are I suspect nearly done:




And progress on Helena

Not sold on hair colour, might make her a redhead instead?
Would add a good pop colour.

And just for fun, set myself a real challenge. I've been avoiding painting this for well over a year:


Slightly concerned the hair is too golden. Here, black may be better.


Not sure how clear the osl is.


Many bothans wet-blended to bring you this.

Thus far I'm cautiously happy with him, and to be tackling so intimidating a fig. I've got a couple more Ordo folk to tackle still, too...

Off for a few days though not sure how much I'll get done best not to commit eh?
Graven

Good quality photo dump graven!

Thanks mate. Sometimes I think these giant updates are a bit much as its difficult to focus on any one thing as a viewer.
Anyway, I've decided to take Helena's hair chestnut and Hector's fiery. I'll try to get pics up later. I want to get some priming done as, although the weather's damp (we're living in a rain cloud) it's a bit milder than it has been. Need to do bases for gms dudes so I can put the DW up as they stand. Hey ho...

Missed an apostrophe. The shame. I blame the phone...

All looking good. Especially like the BT as a whole and the Ork head (lol) and the servitors (the purple and the metals both look good).

I like the base you gave the Templar. Glad to see painting him without one was worth it, if a pain at the time. I've always liked the stance of the ironclad. Not sure why I don't have one yet.

You want him, he's yours.

Argh!

Duuude! I am really impressed by your Lamenter model! it looks totally sweet and very cool, the yellow is rich and perfect and I love the way you've added the checks so they wrap under the lip of the pad! now that's something you don't see many people doing! an excellent job all round mate!

I have to also say that the raiders look good and the Vindi is coming along nicely too, you churn out so much it's hard for me to get a bead on what I need to comment on lol :-)

Haha thanks mate but the Lamenter is solar_lion's excellent work!

Oh what!! I feel cheated lol :-)

Eh! lucky all your stuff is good then!

Sweet looking update there

Servitors are looking great, and totally agree with your choice to change hair colour on Helena and Hector, look forward to seeing what difference it makes.

Completely understand the keeping models back mentality - I haven't dared start work on the McVey dino-cowgirl for fear of not doing it justice. Guess I really should try and do more of the P instead of the M, but heck, buildin' is so much more fun than colourin'

Thanks for the vote of confidence matey!

What have I been up to?
A whole bunch of stuff, actually. Finishing up a whole load of incinerators, including the very first ones I made up:

Still some spit and polish to do, but nearly there.

A couple more pagk for good measure:


I think my Ordo Xenos need another Servitor:


Valeria herself is nearly there:


The malleus have a new recruit, =][= Hammerstein:


And Rex is getting there...



Not quite the uber dump!
Graven

There are NEVER enough servitors. In fact, I am trying to collect every one. It is like Pokemon, except much more painful.

Very nice stuff graven. Love the servitor. Wish other marine armies got to take them.

Gotta upgrade 'em all? The ones I'm after are grimaldius's, as I have him but not them.

Gitsplitta wrote:Very nice stuff graven. Love the servitor. Wish other marine armies got to take them.

Well there's always techmarines for that...

So, some stuff is done. Servitors for starters:

Forgot to take a pic of the back. Dang.

I do love this guy. Great excuse for a buying a dkok quartermaster.




And her exquisitorness is done too:

Still think those bewbs are daft!

I think the rear shot really shows off the cape.


And one for luck.


Hector Rex has been a hard slog but I'm pleased, overall.



Again, cloaky.


That osl seems almost too much but I know that often there more is more.


(Hmm. That was odd. Apologies for update hiccup there.)

More to follow...

All my gms deathwatch dudes are now based! Huzzah.

Start of the squad...


Most of the devs, looking forward to a scouty one with a lascannon from gitsplitta too, and gonna build another one myself, I think, though not sure what chapter. Maybe a weeper.

And a jumpy one from the mighty knightley!


The Lamenter's pic has got lost in the interweb. Hmm.

And lastly, finished up the final batch of PAGK.

I really like this shoulder. I just do.


That's a lot of incinerators...

And a psilencer - why not?

Still have a few odds and sods of PAGK to do - interceptors and metal halberdiers. But may take a breather just now. Do something... Wacky.
Graven

Cool stuff my man

Servitors look great in purple. Query on the tanks of the second one - love the grren colou for the fluid on the right and like the way you turned the mould flaw into a window on his left tank, but shouldn't the front window on that tank show orangey-red too? Or have I mis-construed what you did on the back?

Sister looks sweet, like the damage on the leg.

Hector looks da bomb. Dat's all.

PAGK's all look great, really need to pick some up, there's some nice bits the meks have been eyeing up for a while.

Bring on the wacky

A-ha! I'm glad you got what I did with the flaw in the cast. I was going for a indicator of some kind - red/yellow/white. Does that work?

Main focus on PAGK was improving my lens work. Although I'm not crazy on the glow, but the lenses themselves are a big step forward.

Glad you like the sister-inquisitor she was a lot of fun. It's very rare that something totally fits the vision in your head.

Hector's just a glorious head-sweat of model.

Oh - and I have PAGK parts coming out the wazoo. Lmk what you need.

Wacky should be good, yeah.

Good God graven... are there any figures left in the UK that you haven't painted!!

(very nicely I might add)

Yes. Yes there are:


Started on the Death Cult. I do love Dark Age miniatures.
And thanks!
This is not the wacky btw...

Oooooo.... I like those!

I'm curious...Where did you get the bloke with the pointed hood? That model oozes character.

Pointy hat is a confrontation mini, a griffon something or other. Purty. I have another fab Dark Age mini to build. One of the saints, courtesy of gymnogyps; female Ordo Malleus probably (I find my lack of incinerators disturbing) to go with death cult.

Very nice, Graven. Really like those Servitors. Are those actual figures or did you build them?

The Inquisitors look really good, too. They look great against that background.

Love the eyes on the Psilencer. Ominous.

Can't wait to see those other figures painted up, too.

Thanks NF09 for the kind words .. U can check out the Lamenters on my Blog.. thou lately you find work I've been doing on the AC display..

Graven has a unique style. Thou I'm sure his version of a Lamenter would be nothing short of amazing.

Are those gal's in red Death cult?

Wow some awesome updates there graven, apologies for the lack of actual constructive comments, ive been a tad busy, sorry but they all look amazing!

Hector Rex especially sticks out to me as being an epic job.....not that the rest arent

Thanks man. The first one comes with Solomon Lok, the second with the dkok quartermaster (as, in fact, does the guy with all the scrolls).
I like that background but it's a bit red! Throws off the colour balance a touch.
Yay eye love! That was the intent.
I can't wait to see 'em painted either I'm not sure whether to do the kasrkin red, turquoise or purple (or possibly grey/black with said colour as trim - thoughts?

aw gee shucks. I would do Lamenters, but they'd never end up crisp enough, and freehand checks... *shudder*
I leave it to the master. The red ladies are indeed death cult as part of my general =][= retinue. There are more but they are only primed grey just now (also, one is missing a shoulder).

Priming of mysterious wacky has begun. Also, I think mice have been nibbling my foam

Ooh! Ooh ooh ooh! A few he says! Pm me and lmk what sort of stuff you want in return (and anything else, we can have a swingin bitz shindig).

Oh - colours blocked in:

And behind you can see the rest of them, including 2 gw death cult and 2 more dark age ladeez.

Just scored myself a razorback for £15 out of Hobbycraft (well, £20.50 -25% voucher). Result. I smell SoB tanky coming...

Not sold on the two painted masked girls. Not so much the poses but I dislike the mask. I almost prefer them without. All the others I think are unique enough..

Well, I can see that their hats might be seen as a little goofy. But I like the poses and the sensible footwear. Also, I think once you see them against the GW ones, and them as a group, they gel:


Also, the wacky is taking shape:
