That would be if the actually ate it, over just chewing it to smithereens. They make great squiggoths. They will even eat my own orks.
Vik the only thing i trust you with is picking a good brew!

haha yeah, good old school work, finish up last two lootas for the batch, they will be posted shortly.

Alright so i painted something! hooray! right? right?! Yeah, right.


Here is what panda been doing but not showing.

tried scratching a grot tank, hold the rivets because i lost heart in it.
Army of Grots all for Vik.

how do you want to make your rivets? i definatly recommend a holepunch here... thus you save up on time aplenty!!! for starting with rivets this is one of the easiest ways of getting into business...

those lootas (?) look very good... i specially like the woad/warpaint on them... that has a nice touch... very apocalypse now style...!

as for the tanks build atm... is the hatch already glued to the turret/hull? looks not inline with the rest... but you only started... so much changes still going to happen there!

and if i had a sudden rain of money heading my way... a grot army would be a very definite option... so be sure of my utmost envy regarding the assembled lil fethers there^^

needs individual shots tho

why thank you Vik! but honestly i dont want to take 33 individual shots for some grots haha. As for the tank, i will most likely never end up finished, i am just too unhappy about its un even construction. Going to look into methods for cutting more perfect edging.

Thanks about the lootas! yeah the warpaint i love to do on my orks, only occasionally so it isnt washed out.
You know your ork tech quite well.

Yeah their is a viable grot army kind of if you piece some units together.
it would consist of
Hq can make a custom grot something. The options are there! haha i am just not going to follow it.
Grot Tanks - elite
Grots - Troop
Killa Kanz or Big Gunz - Heavy support

Love the lootas panda. I can't believe you are still putting things like "school", "success", and "real life" get in the way of your painting.

you do know that you don´t cut PC all the way though? just score and then bend and snap it? afterwards sanding will solve any issues you have to face...

don´t get frustrated... having built your own scratchbuilt one day... this is a huge shot for your self esteem... beleieve me... it is almost therapeutical...

I have scratch much terrain and armor and things, but not tanks and complicated things. Where i must have them perfect! haha not a bad idea about the scoring, i will try it after i paint me a good 50 models and my brushes are nothing but hairless stumps.

learned the scoring business wuth PC the hard way too...my first try was a landraider ... and i tried to cut every lil bit through and through... sometimes inbetween my fingers had been so sore that i couldn´t lift a spoon...

Love the work dude. looks great.

If you play world of tanks - I have almost every German one

I like how the Loota came out mate.
But I have a little doubt about the eyes... They look unnatural.

The start of the tank is promising tough!

what do you mean unnatural?

They seem too big and out of place, probably You cover with the white something other then the eye....

Still a good job and this is really a nitpicking thing!

er....er...*makes shifty face...*

delete money and write time...

Oh i see what your saying now. There is actually logical reason to this. For some reason the loota sculpts have even smaller eyes than normal. I cheated the effect on a couple of them to make it cartoony. I could fix it, but i am to lazy too. Thanks for the catch/notice.

*warning* :This may be a wall of text; not sure as i can't see into the future:

Alright! PANDA- is back.. just to recap the recent activity in panda's life.


I was in the Wireless Sensor Network lab from 5pm, to 7am then from 2 pm - 8pm. Never Again is all i have to say. Never again. The good news is, the grader was impressed with our teams work. Looks like A's are soon to follow! very happy about that.
Classes are wrapping up, just got a paper to write, a paper to edit, and then we are off to finals! which means.. well you know.. lots of free time! so excited for that.

In-terms of blog work! we should get some photos right?! WHO WANTS ANOTHER FIVE LOOTAS? I do.. they are 60% painted at the moment. I will finish them while you guys read this/charging camera battery.

Also i write fluff for this army. You may go "wut, WHAT? whhhhaa, what, wat or just '?' " Here is the link to that.
If you have time read, i been told on more then one occasion i write/tell good stories. However, i suffer from "wtf is grammar disorder." Its just who i am, i do my best to write well, except
when i am posting to my dakka blog. That is just kinda chucked out there. Don't be shy to point out my grammar. It wont hurt my feelings in the slightest. I am mostly looking for motivation
to write more.

Can't wait to see you do some more work on your Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh.

It's been a great inspiration for my very own orks. I can only hope you do some killa kanz (I have 3 unpainted and I'm not sure what to do with them.

I am afraid Nafarious i did the whole kan and dread thing. That was my previous army. I had 15 Kanz and 5 dreads and couple megaz, and a stompa. Anyways - to iterate into something useful.

Fun things that you can do with kanz that are cool:

Paint each limb a different color - always have power rangers or other show kanz
Theme - use your primary color as a secondary color
Do stripes, symbols and other odd ends on the kanz
Basically exercise freedom with your paint scheme.

My kanz were painted like factory metal with some stripes and stuff here/there
People liked them.
------Gender questionable -------
Pokadots
Bikini paint job - local did this - could not take his kanz seriously; awarded for most laughs in a game.
Paint makeup on them - add to the above.

Nice head swapping on your loota lads there, panda!

Why thank you kindly squid! I almost got these next five lootas painted up for you guys. Skin is all that is left. And some lenses.
