Wonderful work - interested to know what you did with the Mantis shoulder pad.

One critique - and can't believe I'm going to say this, but the hazard stripes on the bolt pistol are a little too much - I wonder if the yellow should be dulled / dirtied somewhat or possibly just go for either plain black or metal similar to the servo arm?

Perhaps I could dull the stripes a touch - they are a little luminous. A thin layer of grey wash oughta sort it. I will get some pics of the mantis head in a mo.

First though here is a very old techmarine. My first NMM copper on the blow torch. Maybe he needs something? Suggestions?

Black crenelations on the bottoms of the lower leg armor?

Hmm, yeah it does need something extra on bare leg armour... Gits could be onto something with the crenalation design and possibly a freehand icon or skull on one or both legs?

The NMM looks really good weets. It looks so natural that what I was looking at didn't sink in until a second, highly magnified viewing.

Is the third Techmarine another rather old one, weety?

Hey weets... I found another tech marine that I'd missed earlier. Same era as the last one you posted but a different figure. When I get that other servitor built I'll send them both along.

Oh cool! I like those old ones.

Crenelation is possible - as are skulls, but first I thought I'd get the third techmarine on the go. The third techmarine is a modern one - he looks better IRL honest! A bit grainy in the pic. Not finished yet. In fact none are finished they all need a bit of last minute touching up and stuff.



I spent a whole hour last night dusting one shelf of miniatures over the sink (two shelves left to dust!). What a chore. I must get a glass fronted cabinet for them.

I love the old school techmarine, looks top notch...Not sure if you are aware of this or not, but back in the day the rule for that clawed hand shoulderpad is it was yellow no matter the chapter...It was is badge of office...

I didn't know that no MechHaven. I did read the rogue trader book of rules and fluff once, but I probably skipped bits. I could certainly do it yellow if the client agrees - its just white atm cos I couldn't decide

Blaarrrp

I think I'm done with this one.

OK....you've obviously not been slacking like me whilst I've been caught uo in the warp/locked in Neil's dungeon.....

Liking the techies a loyt, and the latest is no exception...great stuff as usual

Very nice work weets!

Blaarrrp, indeed! He looks great weety. I especially love the weathered look of his servo-harness.

I'm confused, why did I type blaarrrp? That's a rhetorical question of course, we'll never know.

The servo harness is my favourite bit too. Its a hell of a big thing to try and do NMM but I think I pretty much nailed it.

I'm glad you like it gitsplitta, I think this time they really will be done by monday! I'm just trying to do some freehand on the old school techie now.

MONKEYTROLL!!! good to see you back in cyberspace! What happened to you? ? I reckon you got washed away in the storm and washed up on a desert island where there is no internet and you had to make models out of coconuts and then you swam back one day because you were so fed up with coconuts

That's a gorgeous model! the techi from the Thunderfire Cannon or some such right? I must have it!

That's the chap yes. I've done two of them now! Hell of a thing to paint, so many arms.

Well you did one hell of a job!! I could use that model and his kit in my army, you inspired me to go ahead and get one. Now if I can just get him to look half as good I'll be happy!

Thanks for replying back, I would have found him eventually but you made it easy.

Have fun with it!

Just for fun I have painted this space eunuch the same way I did gits servitors. Check out his lobotomy scar. I need to redo the blood with darker red bits.

My god your quick ...

The tech marine is superb some of the best nmm I have ever seen. Your painting is really impressive weety. As is the model choice.

Ooooo I like that space eunuch a lot.

Great work Weety. Loving it all.

Really? Wow... I'm not sure what to type now! You are a superlative kitbasher and terrain artist Neil so you must know what you're talking about. So thanks! I will keep at it.

Glad you guys like my lobotomized space eunuch. He was fun to paint.

today is a lazy day, but if I get bored I might paint a couple of random guardsmen I picked up the other day. I have a metal stormtrooper (the ones with the gas mask and night vision goggles) and a 2nd edition cadian.

Oh and I dulled the yellow on this guys bolter - looks less luminous now.

Here's my days fun practice piece - imagine if I had a whole squad, they would look great!

"Put on your war face soldier!"

Sorry... channeling Arlee.

Very nice. Like the armour colour tones.

Nicely done

Love the old Cadian Weets! Although I wonder why the Eunuch needs that armored codpiece?

That's a cyber-catheter, saves no end of time when in a hurry to do master's bidding.
