I grew up on 70's and 80's skin mags, so I have no problem with it or the non-razor-ness.

As far as the orc.. I love it! I really wish I knew which was your entry in the contest, Weets. I already voted, but I couldn't tell which was yours. :(

I will probably put the porn diorama on the back burner for now... One day it'll happen and I think it will get a laugh.

In a characteristic U-turn I have decided to paint more fantasy miniatures! (this won't last long as I'm short on square bases). I've been having fun making flagstones - they are drying now and soon we will have some orcs, some goblins, beastmen and maybe other dungeon denizens. One of you lovely people sent me a snake-man so I will do that up nice(who was it? Thanks). And ideally if I'm still in the mood for fantasy I would like to make a nice dungeon terrain piece for them.

Photos soon.

If you do a snake man in a diorama, do Conan fighting him. Then it will be like one of my favorite stories.

The dungeon terrain piece sounds very exciting weety, do we get to see a dragon in said dungeon?

That would be cool. I still haven't done a diorama yet - It is a hard thing to plan and pull together, but I'm sure once I've done one it will get easier.

Dragons are probably expensive right?

Porn dungeon? Anyone?

Hilarious graven!

The Dragon could wear a Baby Blue Leisure suit

Today I am running a fever. Hasn't stopped me painting though - it may be the delirium but I'm very happy with this slaneesh beast. Done some NMM on the blade and the shield and it looks good. I've been trying to learn about this but I can't find a really good tutorial so I'm winging it.



This little chap didn't work out quite so well - its harder to do NMM on such a small wonky model and maybe my brain was fried. He is an evil goblin from the same set as the previous orc and he is from 1985 so in fact he is a really good sculpt for the time.



Got a few more beastmen, orcs and goblins to go.yet. I'm really digging the fantasy stuff at the mo.

Oo, not good weather to have a fever in. Hope you feel better soon.

Doesn't look like you need to watch any tutorials, that metal is really good.

Liking the purple hood as well as the rest. Good job.

How do you do the nmm?

Well Thats kind of hard to put into words miss dee. I use grey and blue and black wash and white highlights. I suppose I just keep washing and highlighting until it looks right. We really need a good tutorial to explain the principles of it.

Thanks Doc. I hope I get better too. It sucks, I can't tell if I'm burning up or if its just really hot. I'm very resilient though so I will be fine.

Get better plague monkey! Or we shall rename you typhoid weety! Though clearly madness has infected your painting delightfully, I do miss all the bull headed slaanesh stuff. Lovely work and that's a great old gobbo too.

Re the porn dungeon btw, the orc cheerleader from blood bowl with nipple tassles would seem not incongruous...

Lol - I should write all these ideas down - it would be the craziest diorama ever.

Photo dump. Pictured here is a random greenskin with a funny face - presumably from the era before they had decided what orcs and goblins should look like. Anyone recognize him? I forgot to look at the tab before gluing him in.

Also here is the grand sum total of my unpainted dungeon denizens. They are all getting the treatment. I'm bidding on some old school skaven on the bay of E so they will hopefully expand the force. They are a disparate band of species, only bound together by mutual fear of their master, Varna-gth The Pestilant! An evil sourcerer who holds sway over a great system of caverns and abandoned sewers. He is still in transit - There seem to be two models by that name but his pic is at the bottom of this page http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Chaos_Sorcerers_-_CH5

The latest beastman has a non-metallic metal verdigris bronze cuirass. Still winging it on the NMM and I'm not completely sure I'm doing it right. Also these are group pics so you can see my growing band of dungeon denizens. I must see about making a dungeon for them - I could use up the rest of the milliput to make building blocks. My only problem here is that I'm short on space so it will be a small bijou dungeon.

Nice work Weety.
The shields look great.

It's not saying verdigris to me at the moment, maybe a bit more green/turquoise...? Looks more like grubby gold I think.

So long as it looks like some kind of metal!! Its a steep learning curve...

Oh yeah, and it looks good.
I don't doubt that, it's not something I would attempt and you are doing very well.

Tbh I prefer grubby gold in this situation to verdigris, so well played! I've got some random fantasy minis kicking about if you're such in a fantasy place and need new toys to decorate for our viewing pleasure. Yes, I am your nerd crack dealer.

I need my random fantasy fix. Let me know the details!

it is a kind of addiction.

When you buy it from the big dealers they even send it in baggies...

Yep. I have a closet half full of unpainted stuff.

Nice work Weets! But the beastman's shield rim should match the rustiness of his sword.

My Reaper Bones order arrived. I am now ALL SET on random fantasy miniatures.

Hows that for a start?

9bar... Weets, tell you what, you cover the postage (give me a figure) and I'll send you stuff gratis.

Vallhalla - I think I'm fairly restrained compared to most. I've just a couple dozen unpainted models left!

Dsteingass you are right of course. I did add a tinge of corrosion to it but probably not enough.

Briancj thats a hell of a lot of minis. The giant picture of all the minis you get made my browser crash. Have fun and think of us poor humble mortals scrapping the bottom of the bitz box for fantasy figures.

Miss dee wos that then? Looks space marineish.

tell you what graven - you tell me what they weigh and I will find out postage, just use those tiny scales...

it is a space marine

Weight of minis would break my scales. I'll send you a fiver's worth, how's that do you?

Well its not a normal space marine miss dee its got wings all over it. You will have to bear with my ignorance I don't keep up with modern trends much! What flavour is it?

Graven you get my drift. I expect a fiver will cover it. In my experience the post office rarely exceeds that. I will have to send you an e-cheque though cos paypal don't take kindly to folks with no credit cards. PM me your paypal email thingy.
