last i heard he was stalking the postman

maybe that explains why my '1st class' posted ebay termies are taking so long!

Rule#1..ALWAYS pay for priority shipping whenever there is an opportunity.
Rule#2..1st Class is for letters

I don't think there's too much to worry about with Marbo stalking the Postman! I have heard rumors my Postman is actually Chuck Norris!

and now back to your normal scheduled viewing! it's work in progress day today I wasn't feeling laying brush to model for hours today I needed a bit of a push of inspiration for tomorrow, so today i present you a Command squad and some tank work

first off the rank lets take a gander at the tanks I have 5 i'm working on at the same time! I washed them all with my brown ink and orange wash mix then over brushed with mithril silver once it dried, when that was ready I mixed a little sand with some pva and spackle and added some dirt and mud along the tracks and lower hull, I waited for it to dry out in the sunshine while I fiddled with the ccs.

when my five bristling behemoths were ready I hit them with the good 'ol desert primer aahhhh now I can see them coming together beautifully! again i let them dry for a while and then took them out to the shed for some airbrushed camo designs, I made the brown a little more prominent on these ones as I like the highlights over the brown in the desert yellow.

This is my Pask Punisher I am waiting for wargames factory to release the male apocalypse survivors so i can make my custom Pask who looks like John McClane


Here's the Devil Dog, this little beauty shall be affectionately know as 'Oscar' after my big boy!


Punisher number 2, Frank Castle is his name and shredding enemies is his game!


My Executioner piloted by a madman bursting from the hatch with glee flipping the enemies the V


Who says Leman Russ tanks are crap? how the hell can a tank this cool be crap? right here you are looking at 'Big Willy'


Hi my name is Damian...... and I'm an addict! .......... I've been addicted for a couple of months now I just can't shake it! and to be honest i don't want to! as long as Mad Robot miniatures keeps making such awesome after market heads I'll continue to be addicted! this time I popped their loveliness on my command squad (oh my god my dogs are inside after having a cow leg each and I think I just got double crop dusted and it STINKS!!!) .... *ahem* sorry, where was I? Oh ccs! here thay are





Oh I did do something else too! I've heard a lot of IG talk saying that ADL's are pretty much mandatory now? I was going to make something out of my terrain box and I found the coolcast barriers I bought ages ago! SCORE! so I think these will work for ADL? I primed them black them hit them with a mid grey from the airbrush and then a light grey from above and finally some leather brown around the bases, not sure what direction to take them in now with the banding and damage so input needed there guys!

is this enough? I'm not sure how much i really need?



Well then, I hope that was an alright update? sorry there wasn't much exciting stuff today but enough to offer your expert helps on! I can't wait to get that lot all done, should look great!

Damo

Meh. It'll do, I suppose.



Lots to love (the dogs, not so much), but the best bits for me are the head on the vox guy and the zenithal shading on your aegis. Sweet Also, LRBT are beasts, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I love the chap with the lemon squeezer hat, very Anzac.
On that note, are you planning on having a squad based around your favourite neighbours? :p

Sooo many tanks....

Barriers look fantastic Damo. You're making swift progress!

Frank Castle......the Punisher tank Nicely done. Even though people hate on them....I always wanted to run them in force. That many shots HAVE to do something

Oooh yes, we are experiencing puppy farts too LOL

Wait..you're telling me you've laid down these fantastically feathered camo patterns with an analog brush??? NOT an airbrush??

Cheers everybody! :-) yes Gits, I'm getting a few tanks on the shelf now! i think I have 6 now not including my Chimera's! and I was really stoked to find so much barrier to make into an ADL which I think is coming along well, I'm thinking a bronze dark metal look for the bands around the concrete/ferrocrete.

Graven, thanks mate! the barriers I hope will turn out as I hope! and you can rest assured the dog farts were most unpleasant, i was not pleased at all! :-( they each had a marrow bone literally as long as my thigh and now my backyard looks as if I'm a serial killer who can't dispose of a corpse properly!

Cheers Proto! :-) those heads are ace eh! they're from the personality set from Mad Robot, full metal jacket, Bruce Willis, Sly Stallone, Jason Statham.... :-) enough to bring a smile to any action movie fans face! and no plans for an 'across the ditch' squad as yet though lol!

No Dave, the camo was with an airbrush mate! :-) I'm not that patient to try that with a brush (that and i can't paint like inquisitor wappelious or however you spell his name!)

and KC! long time no beard eh bro! yep, I am totally going with the lots of shots have to do SOMETHING! especially with 2 of them!

I think that would be most appropriate.

OK, LOL..I was about to call you "Master"

and KC! long time no beard eh bro! yep, I am totally going with the lots of shots have to do SOMETHING! especially with 2 of them!

Yea, I need to get off my booty and get paint to brush I think. And this IG dealy youre doing, is REALLY making me think of a way to afford some Guard and do my force Ive planned many times in the past I thought maybe spamming stormtroopers in the rear would buy punishers time to get in close enough to pulverize things

Wow that was a huge update Damo, you have lots of cool stuff going on including dog farts

The barriers are a great idea I think they will look great with some weathering powders...you know you want too

Oh and I want to name the unnamed Executioner Pulsating Percy, cant wait to see Big Willy in action actually that sentence sounds even worse than I intended it to sound

lol yes, that did sound amazingly dodgy! but that's great! I'm as dodgy as they come! I was thinking of naming my Executioner after a great device from the movie 'Top secret' it was delightfully know as 'The Anal Penetrator 5000'? a bit much? yeah you're right 'Pulsating Percy' is much more subtle and I think i will toy with some powders on my terrain, that way it doesn't have to be across my entire force but still will bring the table to life

KC, you need to get back into it dude! otherwise I shall get me some Talc and he-bitch man slap you with my pimp hand so hard your beard will fly off and hide under the bed! but I do like the idea of stormies being a nasty distraction in the rear lines of the enemy, I have 10 ready to work on and you'll love 'em

Yea I figured melta vets in a Valk or whatever, and or Stormies plopping in melting some gak with hellguns and whatever special weapons I gave em. That would present an "Oh gak" situation for my opponents. Plenty of time to get those Punishers in to vomit whatever sized bullets they shoot


Dammit....this is making me want to start Guard again. One of these days, Ill get the itch enough and just fracking do it

And this was definitely not a bump. No way no how

Well mr Cracker! it certainly was lucky that that wasn't a bump as i did some painting today! Ooooh! not much just some work in progress stuff on my next Veteran squad this time with melta guns!

I added the splotches and washed them with ink then highlighted the fatigues and washed the whole model again and started on the CCS, I figured to differentiate them slightly I only added camo to their pants

the highlighting was more of a layering process than a blending one for these guys as I want to be able get through them faster but still look appealing to myself and viewers I hope it's not too stark?





it ain't much but it's something!

I think they look great Nerdy. Not overdone. Just right.

Looks great! Just needs the darker contrast colors to make it pop!

Wow that camo is awesome. I'm guessing it was airbrushed with the colors picked out by brush. Man I've got to get an airbrush and catch up to the twentieth century. Being two centuries behind sucks.

Not only are they looking good....but theres a weird GS twister growing behind the CCS as well!

He released the Kraken!

Nice work. The alternate heads are a small touch when modelling, but really makes a distinctive difference when the figures come together. I don't dislike the stock Cadian heads or anything, but the replacements make the figures look a lot better.

I just realized theres a lot of DCMs on this thread. Whats the hold up Damo?!?! Your flying rodent gak crazyness would fit in well in the Pit me thinks

I don't even use the pit, too much like OT for me. I prefer the talent of the P&M section.

Too much like the OT? Have you ever been to the pit? Ive only wanted to strangle 1 member in the pit. OT on the other hand

Lol, yeah guys settle down I will sign up to become a DCM as soon as i'm able! I've been meaning to for a while but it kind of drops off my radar when i don't hear about it for a while! but now it's back....

what? green twister! where?....Oh there :-) no not a twister nor a Kraken (but that did give my a Nerdylicious idea) no that green is actually part of some fake plants I've taken to pulling apart to start making some jungle themed terrain :-) I am going to make the twisters into barriers as they're the right height! and i have a bunch of bigger leaves and flowers to create a cool land of the giants feel!

Speaking of heads Scipio (or artist formerly know as...) I'm waiting eagerly for my new order of heads and the new torso's he released! should be here tomorrow by my calculations! or Monday then it's crazy Nerd time! :-)

Mullets?

A mullet on Marbo WOULD make him a bigger badass. Because cmon...Mullets?

Also, Im just busting your balls on the DCM thing. Its something I do to DAKKAmembers at random anyways

If he gets a mullet he needs to also be holding a beer. Can or bottle; either are deadly in his hands.

No, it needs to be a tall-boy can of Bush light
Real, American canned piss.
