That's a nice new friend you have there.

Fulgrim is looking very cool, the purples have come out really nicely.

What's wrong with that name?

Here I though everyone in Austrailian was named Bruce

Ah, but Nerdy's in Tasmania. They don't follow the same naming conventions as mainland Oz.

It's Knuckles!

Your absolutely right there Gits. Most Tasmanians have two names. It's one name per head.

Come in for pretty minis, and leave laughing at the basket on a dog and awwwwwing over your new prickly friend

Absolutely nothing. Dave's a legendary name.

Unfortunately you have been misled.

Hahahhaahah, this is so true - I was in tassie 2 years ago and there was a two-headed tassie devil in the gift shop. Best thing souvenir I've ever seen

Nice work, Damo. Fulgrim is looking good, but nowhere near as impressive as that Basket Dog! I like the Echidna as well.

Lol, thanks guys! I'm glad the Tasmanian jokes stopped there! so we have two heads and are about 5 years behind the mainland (points for Dave for even referring to the 'mainland'!) and if my pics are anything to go by....... we don't wear many clothes!

Brother Payne if you're ever back down look me up dude! :-)

So, what's been going on in Dakkaland with you guys? I've been a little quiet for which i apologize but I'm slowly working on those models, Fulgrim really doesn't have a great deal more to do on him, once I pick out the next couple of colour steps which I think will be the white strap thingies and the black leather parts on him, it'll be his face and cloak and then base and touch up!

I've only got a few more weeks until time off! I cannot wait to just sit and paint hopefully for a couple of days! crank the music, tidy the Nerdlair lick my brushes and get down and dirty with some Flesh Eater tanks!

Lol, you are actually right Theo, but I was actually wrong the scheme is the same but the parent chapter is the Imperial Fists not the RG, I didn't want to work on another jump pack close combat force this time as nothing can compare to the savage brutality of my Flesh eaters!

Might I suggest he imperial songbirds then. The casually walk forward singing the imperial praises and pecking away a their opponents. You can also model two of them nuzzling each other to get those darn bugs off o them. they come in varied colors as well.

The Emperor's Penguins....

they better have bow ties with their tux.

Righto, no penguins here today! but some Fulgrim & Emperors Warbringer for you to pick apart

I did some work on the leather straps on Fulgrim, white is hard to get smooth but a couple of washes and re highlighting and I think they look quite acceptable? again, i'm trying to keep him just a bit darker than I usually do, he's beautiful but hides a dark evil......


I got to a rather menial and small task as well, painting the stripes and chest eagles white among the ranks of my Flesh eaters, i now have nearly all the troops and Termies done now.


The Emperors Warbringers HQ has actually seen some work and progressed quite fast! something about the colour meant I worked through it at a paint by numbers speed I like the look, he's still clean like i like but sporting a little battle damage and overall he looks pretty 'solid' and weighty like a stalwart child of Rogal Dorn should...






sorry that's not much excitement today guys! but looking at Fulgrim he's going ahead fast and should be done soon...

Yeah, that green is great. Isn't he getting a shield though? How's that going to go on?

I still kinda feel like fulgrims purple should be like one shade darker, it kinda gets lost in the gold atm.

Just love that last guy. Such an unusual color & the damage is fantastic.

Wow! stunning work there. Liking the lighter purple on Fulgrim

Hate to be that guy, nerdy, but I cant say Im a fan of the light purple on fulgrim. To me it looks rather pinkish? Maybe a shade or two more purple-ey would suit him better? On the other hand, the golds are absolute top notch.

Flesh tearers are still looking awesome, and the white really starts bringing them to life out of the mass of red (feels like forever since we saw them last! )

Finally, the Harbinger looks wicked. Very unusual color, and it definitely suites him. He really should put on a helmet, though... Looks like he banged his head on the landraider door... Maybe thats how the rest of his armor got so banged up?

Excellent work all around, nerd. Keep it up!

I agree with you Ramos. While I like the colour itself I don't think it's a good main colour for Fullies armour. It's work better as a highlight.


The sickly looking pus green on the Praetor is an excellent colour and the battle damage on the armour is superb.

Great stuff. What going in the Harbringer's hand?

Thanks guys, I will take the advice and give Fulgrims armour another couple of washes of purples and see how it looks, you don't think it'll be too dark though? I don't want it to not look purple enough? we can only try eh!

the Emperors Warbringer praetor will indeed have a shield I juuuuuust need to actually find the damn things! they're somewhere in the Nerdlair hiding with some chain glaives and a Necromunda gang i want to paint from Anvil Industries I must find them!!

and war is brutal! so brutal in fact that sometimes even kickass termie captains get capped in the helmet! (not THAT helmet .... you guys!) and as such need to remove it after suffering a heinous scratch!
