@Vik you black velvet you

uuuuhhhh..... spikey palace!

Haha, I can only imagine what its going to be like to move that monster around the house, you would go to pick it up and then apply band aids to your hands!

Yeah, and then some! In fact it had less but mrs g's comment was, "needs more spikes". Should set up my own rival League of Spikenators and Skullifiers...

It's more that it still feels flimsy in places actually; the base I had for it (18"x14") is too small, so got to go up to 20x16 at least. The problem there would be I'd have to buy it, which is against my self-imposed rules (the other base being recycled from child's birthday). Having said that, more spikey bits required! I'm also dreading detailing the back as that's a LOT of bare plastic. Still, I have a fairly demented idea that involves styrene rods and chaos gun barrels. Oh, and skulls, naturally.

However, this is on hold - sort of - for the next couple of weeks as I have to do my marking for the exam board. However, I suspect I may need occasional sanity breaks!
Later,
graven

Oh - and need to source some more chaos dozer blades. They are spikey AND laddery!

It should definitely be Spikifier and Skullinator although I think they fought against either the Ninja Turtles or Adam West's Batman.
It's actually a good description of what I do to my Epic Chaos vehicles.

the wife urged you on to spikefy the shrine some more?... creepy^^

i still ahven´t found time to send you my care package... hopefully i can do that this weekend... but i know for sure that i have some possesed stuff and spikey stuff already put inside! so fear not... suplies will eventuually put you into position to fulfill your plans

and good luck for those exams....*yucky...* thank the lords i am done with these now^^

@llamahead: too true
@ Vik: I marked 50 papers tonight, just having a breather... only 190 to go. 2 weeks of self-imposed hell. No sweat on the bits, my friend.

An apology to anyone whose thread I'm following - I'm just lurking, scanning for light relief from this madness. Likewise, don't expect much activity here, expect in moments of deranged inspiration:




This will get built up with gs... I needed another HB-wielding SoB, this seemed like a fun place to start. Also, I've primed my remaining PAGK - I might even finish my GK army at this rate this year!

Later (much),
graven

the pic is so much out of focus....she might be wearing mutton chops instead of a gasmask^^

Shaddup it's just to show that I'm building the gunner up with gs.

...so this means we shouldn´t pester you some while you are off to slap your own shoulder... yeah right

And this differs from your current work process how? So not fooling anyone.

In the meantime you could always post more "Cakes I'd like to eat" Just saying!

Sorry missed a couple updates, the mantis marine is excellent . Oh and the supply drop was from me. Hope you can use them. "Blood for the blood god"

I made an Octonaughts cake for a friends son! does that count?

Your wife is most-awesomely talented! Your poor kids have got artsy-fartsy on BOTH sides of the family.

Those cakes look delicious. Loce the dartboard!

Shrine looks goid. I'm with Vik for the gs grate mold. Also, really love the disembowel,ed termie. Great idea!

Assuming you mean the gs plate - my idea is to use one of those lego 3-bar grills (2x1). And yeah, orks are... Orksome

She is awesome indeed, and yeah, the kids are up the creek there

Dartboard worked a treat. Coming up is a gatsby cake, should be interesting.

Bit of progress on tortured termie:

Frighteningly, that hand is in scale. Pesky, dysmorphic marines.

Hey ho...

Gosh, you can't tell that's struts of bone in the other arm at all. Bloody phone.

A little in situ wip:

Aaaaaarrgh! It's too early in the morning to look at something like this!

Just for that, I'm making him a MW...

Wiener...

well that looks interesting...look forward to more

Hey graven... just in case you were wondering what happened to your GMS marine...

It's my tradition never to send out a GMS marine until he's been bloodied in battle. So here's a pic to prove it, "Uncle John" Grabowski serving with a Mantis Warrior tactical squad as their heavy weapon specialist vs. the Xenos abominations that are the Necrons. He's hit every single time he's fired... unfortunately I haven't rolled more than a 1 or 2 for the armor penetration so he hasn't any kills yet. I knew I shouldn't have switched to rechargeable batteries in my las cannons... they just don't carry the power that non-rechargeables do!



Unfortunately, the game is getting done a turn here, a turn there... so it's taking quite a while to get it done so I can send him on his way.

Well now he can't really be in a kill team till he's killed someone eh? looking good there.
Btw, I'm going with skulls. It's a temple of khorne. It cannot have enough skulls...

That thing is looking insane, I like what your thinking with the terminator and yes ... he should be a smurf

Good luck painting it mate, I know I'm not going to have a spare minute without at least one paintbrush in my hands until this is over.

thanks mate well I'm also out of black primer but just got a parental supply drop (early birthday cash) - need new suits but can probably stretch

well happy early birthday man i hope you have a good day when the time comes around
