Interview went really well. I'm pretty sure I have the job, but don want to jinx it. They hire people in as part time to ensure they are a good fit for the team, then you go permanent if there's a position available. Right now they have lots of openings. The pay that I was told in the phone interview was not enough, especially if I'm part time for a couple months. But in he face to face interview, I addressed it and the gentleman in charge of that said that number was way off especially with my management skills. He of course has to speak with someone else who will contact me and I should know by Monday.

Good luck with your promotion interview. They wouldn't even bother unless they knew you had what it takes for the job. I'd say don't sweat it, but I know how rediculous that sounds when it comes to your career.

Angrons looking tops. I didn't even notice the pencil mo until Gits pointed it out.

Frigging loving the muppet too. I expect to see good things come from him. And a 1+ for the tatts drawn in washable texta.

Oh no..... i'm now imagining John Waters as a Primarch. Guess i didn't need sleep tonight anyway.

I can't tell if he has some face fuzz, or its just the angle. Doesn't look like its there in some of the pics.

Anyways, he looks so good. You are full blown knocking it out of the park! Or whatever the Down Under version of that is.

Puppet should add some unique flavor to your videos, looking forward to watching them.

woah damo, you really won me over on that model. I usually enjoy the hitech cyber vibe over the more baroque things that 40k does, but dang, youve painted it so well i just gotta keep looking. The bronze and reds are a great contrast to the bone of the poor saps being torn apart. And the giant gash across the one guys stomach just looks brutal. Very cinematc piece here. And quite the undertaking. I can see why you switched your focus to this model, when something grabs you, you just gotta run with it!!
Cheers

Thanks guys, I love painting Angron he's a lot of fun and as you'd probably learnt about me by now, if I get inspired and feel the need and passion then i just go nuts! :-)

also, no he doesn't have any moustache or facial hair! I haven't finished his face yet and the angle just gave him that impression ;-) still gotta figure out what tribal face paint to give him without ruining the detail? any ideas?

and I will do some spatters of blood when it's all done, wanted to get the basics painted first before i went ott with gore, it'd be a shame to ruin the sculpt with too much blood, i'm also trying to work out how to make 'wet chunks' of flesh? like Gits said, those big ass chain axes aren't subtle and I'm hoping to lay some fresh meat around a bit!

The updated Angron is looking pretty bloody sweet, Damo. I like the subtle touch of his lower lip. The red of his armour and the viscera on the Death Guard is also looking really nice.

Your muppet is a little disturbing, but cool. Can't wait to see him inked up.

Mighty fine looking Angron there Damo, like for reals.

And that Muppet you is aces! Like truly that looks great! So much so.... I kinda want one! What site did you find that kit again?

Thanks dudes, Az it's good to see you back here! :-) glad you like the Muppet..... and the Angron, i've got to find time to finish him soon but the next two weeks my painting days are actually not available to me :-( so I have to do some creative painting I think or he won't get done for 3 weeks! and i don't think I could not paint for that long and you'd all forget who i was lol! :-)

I don't think we would forget you easily Nerdy, especially after your recent photo

Love the puppet...

Love Angron even more !!

(wait, that was weird, wasn't it ??)

That's OK, we won't tell anyone.

Mate, Antron looks amazing. Love the bronze and the deep red. The base and the marines (or what's left of them) on it look fantastic.

The best part though is the face. Some seriously awesome work right there! You got to PM your recipe...


And the muppet, well, that's just genius too

Hey San! thanks dude! :-) still a way to go on the reds for the leather but i agree it's a good shade so far to compliment the bronze! i'm happy with how it's all pulling together, his face i'm especially happy with, it's working well thankfully!! and I sure can tell you how i do it if you really want to know? i'm a little aprehensive about the tribal face tattoo though? I'm thinking just the red V on his forhead and perhaps his chin will be enough? or i'm scared it will distract too much from the details around his eyes amd mouth which really are a focal point for the model in regard to how it 'feels' thoughts?

You can always skip the tattoos/warpaint entirely. I think the face looks good as is.

Didn't we just have a competition about faces?

Yeah but that's over now. So we can all just half arse faces and gak now.

Sure it looks good, but the problem is it looks as good as all the other good Angrons Ive seen on the net. Tattoos or warpaint would set his apart from all the others in a huge way

I could skip the paint, but the thing is it's for Whalemusic and he wants the paint :-) and I do love me a challenge! I think it's going to depend on what and where I add the marks? I'll do it slowly so you guys can talk me through it, I'll start with the forehead triangle thing you see and then we'll see where next eh! :-)

I'm thinking that war paint could look pretty damn good if it comes out right, it would go with his barbaric style! Go for it!

Hey, anyone thinking of buying Kor Phaeron & Erebus? or more specifically, anyone willing to go halves so i can get Kor Phaeron's arms? :-) I can't justify $100+ for 2 arms! even though I usually don't care, this is just a bit much!

I'd suspect you'll be able to find recasts from china or Russia for $60. Not that it's any better spending that per arm.

Yeah I'd hoped I could find a cast but my usual cast-fu is turning up nothing yet :-( and it sucks 'cos i've got such a good idea for a Termiator armed captain for my FleshEaters!

You could use the other stuff for the FE as well. Use the rest of the body as a base for a termi librarian and ol Ebs would make a boss chaplain.

O.K if I knew how to inbed GIFS and vids on here you'd be getting a rather large slow hand clap about now! that is a BRILLIANT idea for me! and i can already see it happening! my plan is for a Termie Captain to have the Praetor body with those claws so oyur thoughts have now spawned more wallet hating ideas

The claws are about the only nice things I see off those models as well. If I was going to make any sort of army with an bird motif I'd hav he captain of the termies with those.

It was a shame the final model looked nearly nothing like the first teaser pic! 'cos that teaser was an amazingly beautiful model, well, as beautiful as an old man can be I suppose? then they changed the head (Oh my how Derp) and the claws! the original ones looked better imo but these seem to have their purpose for conversions.....

Glad I can help (hurt), lol. I actually like the final version more than he wip. He isn't a space marine, they had to do something to make him look more human.

Here Damo, have a determined semi-slow clap.

Lols thanks snrub (rub it in why don't ya!)

This may or may not upset some of you but here goes: I've applied for a manager position at work and have gone very well through the process so far, there is someone who I believe will obtain the role over me, but my current manager plus the Hotel manager as well as the Human resource manager have all expressed their desire for me to leave night shift and return to the roster doing days again (albeit with more responsibility even if I don't get the job) this is good in the way that they can see i'm good at what i do and my interaction with guests is top tier. But the bad is I will lose some of my paint time, not enough to have me disappear! but enough for me to look at my current projects and determine one has to go :-(

So, I have a choice to make which army gets sold?

Imperial Guard? or Slaanesh? and is anyone interested in either of them as they stand?

I know this is like selling a child! but hey, I don't have kids......

Well, first off, congrats that they WANT to give you more responsibility and recognize you are an asset instead of an ASSet .

I've mainly been excited to see your work on the slaanesh stuff, so I would vote for you to keep that, but in the end , which do you enjoy more is the most important. Either way I want to see more Angron.
