Thanks for he link they got some really neat things on there.

I've been a bit under the pump at the 'ol Nerdington Manor so haven't done much, but I did get a start on putting some veins on my Sak! got the first lot of 3 inks down and a wash some more wash and a neaten up and the lower part will be finished, he really shouldn't take all that long to do from here on, although I must ask what colour I should do his googly little eyes? originally I was thinking black shiny? but he may need something as a spot colour? thoughts?

second little thing I did was just for kicks I got inspired by J-paint and his D.A.M.O servitor so I had a crack at making one myself, he's just about done all I need to do is tidy him up and re glue some cable, but he's looking cool imo I gave him a laser cutter arm and a spot light hand so he can see what he's doing when he grabs things with his clamp servo arm thanks for the cool idead J!

first up here's some Sak action!






and my servitor who shall probably be doing maintenance on my Zone Mortalis board!






until next time!..... Nerd up dudes!

Ah... a glowing sak, I'm so surprised...

Oh god, those veins have actually made me feel quite sick. Mission accomplished methinks, it doesn't get much more complimentary than that.

Excellent servitor , and the hell sak should see a doctor, or you should see a doctor...."Paging Dr. H to Casa De La Nerd stat!" well it's funny to me

Hello, what?
Take plenty of rest and gently massage it until something comes up...


Nice sak NF. Good job.
and good work on the servitor. Like the robo-arm.

Daawwww Damo made us all a serving of some Sac soup That made me out loud say "OoooOO!" Nice nice nice. Get feeling better there Damo

That's a really sneaky use of the servo skull, and now we know where they all come from also Sak is excellent, reminds me of that line from Rocky Horror - "heavy, dark and pendulous"

Thats some nice veining on your sak Damo

The servitor guy looks cool so far as well.

Servitor looks ace, Damo! Those elysian drop trooper jump suits work so well!

Linz just saw your veiny sack. Her response?

"That's disgusting!!"

Goal achieved pal, goal achieved

nf09 - you need to get that sak looked at Model looks awesome and looking forward to seeing the finished work. One suggestion is to try adding a bit of blue into the veins for a bit more contrast and realism.

nice Sak Nerd!
the model looks good too

The veins look great so far - it's looking so wrong it's right! - but nothing says 'Stretched To Capacity' than some blue veins!

I like the idea of black shiny eyes too, but you may be right about needing a spot colour. How about white eyes because it's gone blind from doing... er... 'naughty things' /nudge nudge

would need hairy palms too then...

Oh yeah. For the eyes, maybe do them black but have a tiny dot of yellow in the centre?

Hey that might look really good. Maybe not totally black though, like rotted flesh Grey or similar. With all the little blood vessels to but in a dark color.

Or a pallid white/grey like it's blind.

Such a superb veiny sack there. You flaunt it so well.

My god, this just sounds bad from the word go.

Aww crap....thats a cool idea too......1 dead black eye and 1 white blind eye? No that would just look bad

Just look through this log in its entirety, and damn this stuff is so good!

Love everything so far, and I'm looking forward to whats next!

(P.s Cute Dogs )

Damn Nerd! That's some great stuff! And your veins look very vericose too!

Well, what can i say? but THANKS guys! glad you all recieved my Sak so well! I'll be taking some advice and adding some more blue into the veiny goodness soon as well as doing some 'sperimentin' on the eyes, I like the milky white blind idea but a black and yellow fish eye could be cool to? although it may then look too fishy? maybe I can do them black blending into a milk white pupil? or even hypnotoad eyes!

I got something in the post today for my ZM board build I was really stuck about making so many bulkhead lights and getting them all the same, so I went ebaying to see if there was something i could use to represent them from a dollhouse or similar? but, as luck would have it I was browsing my subscribed threads and clicked a link from Machinator's thread to his store, what did I find? only the perfect set of lights so I emailed him and we worked out he would cast me a hundred of the larger ones for my project he even threw in a few little ones I can add next to doors etc.


I have a really good feeling about this project now, it's coming together nicely, Galorn is helping me out with some floor designs I can cast and then it'll be all systems go! but in the meantime I tidied my Nerd lair again and discovered a pile of sprues with leftovers on them, should find something fun on here?


and i even primed GFX's Celestial Lions Termies


In two weeks time i have some holidays coming up and plan on knocking out a lot of painting! I even bought 12 CD's from ebay to keep me motivated with new tunes I really want to finish my Sak, Gits Dread, Celestial Termies and my Hell-Bitches but we'll see how much other stuff lets me do eh!

I'm voting for one functional Hypnotoad eye and one creepy blind one!

Those are great lights! good find!

One blind and one hypno could work if i'm careful? should have a crack at it on Friday if I'm organized! and Dave, yep, I'm pretty happy with them, every single one is perfectly cast and so crisp! plenty of uses for them :-)

Exciting to see the Lions with all their limbs on

Emperors Spears marines for 2014


Captain/Master choice?

this model?
http://hitechminiatures.com/2/product/info/86

or this one?

keep in mind I'll be converting him to be holding a Trident too! :-)

You know I read that "veins on my sak" title and really didn't know wgat to think. Then I opened the thread and said, "oh, wow." That looks really amazing. It definitely evokes a creepy, veiny sack. I showed it to my wife. She was equal parts impressed and aghast. Kudos, good job, that's a tough combination to evoke.

The hitech one, with a trident and stormbolter, would be pretty ace.

I'm not a huge fan if the hitechminiatures stuff, but you've made the oblits look great, so I'd go with their leader, but I might loose the wings. I like the scibor dude better, but I don't like mixing styles in the same army.
