sounds like a fun event for the kids!

My skills are still terribad, but I'm at least consistent.

by far my friend...
i soon want to start painting again...and i have to feeling i have to start from the beginning...

orange marine...well...with tigerstripes it could be the next big thing

Tony the Tiger marines would be ggggggggggreat! But they've been done by GW already. Back when I worked at Home Depot I tried doing orange marines, but only did 3-4 total. I just don't really feel like breaking the rains stuff out right now, so they will have to wait.

I like that new giant--he looks like a molten yeti.

Thanks Josh, He was suppossed to be a frost giant, so a Yeti is not too far off. I don't know if I am brave enough to try it, but I think using some superglue or gluesticks to make drips off of the boulder he is lifting to look like he just pulled that chunk out of molten lava. Might have to do some tests on other items first.

in the mean time I worked on the last four boomers this morning and I'm sitting down for some free time right now to start on their black parts, but I thought I'd throw up this pick as I really liked the look of them and thought that they would make a great color pattern for some tyranids.


took the night off tonight, Mom was taken back into the hospital last night and I had to leave work early to go attend to her. One of the tubes that allows for the medicines to go into what is left of her stomach came out and needed a procedure done to install a new one. I took today off to deal with that and now i need to crash for a while, and have family time.

Edit: got these four finished, here they are hanging out with a friend who had been done previously.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she's okay.

I look forward to seeing your dripping lava effect. You might want to experiment on some other, more disposable models first, though...

I might mess around with the lavas deft tomorrow, definitely will be done on test items first.

Got some more painting done this evening while homework was being done reluctantly.

These are the last 7 of 8 of the pizza delivery guys. The completed test figure in the pic to show how much more there is to do. Yellows are almost done, just needs a red wash then the yellow glaze, all the black needs to be done still.

best wishes for your mom...

Thanks Vik ,

Have a lot to do at church today, we have a missions conference this weekend, so I have to set up for that and I've been put in charge of getting some broken equipment repaired, so that is on my priority list for today as well.

I hope to have some time today to do some basement spelunking. Looking for some other things that might be able to join this army, plus I still have to locate all the decals that i have somewhere for shaso.

I am making progress on the pizza guys, but the prospect of doing the 20 more regular guys is a little daunting right now, so I need to find some more inspiration between now and then. I do have the 36 Mulfins that need to get done, I think I want a different color pallet for them, but I haven't decided what exactly yet, I might go standard color scheme for theme.

Suggestions are eagerly welcomed as I don't want to get into a rut.

you learned to do mass forces with the zombies, you can do it with these fire guys, you can do it Theo!

I will take my deep dishing of agony with a side of cheese and baked until golden brown.

The mighty platter wall can get some great hazing going for the newer not so well platter equipped dudes. Yes the hazing is what you are thinking, and it's not punishment if they like it.

That color scheme is my nids scheme. Ha. I like it a lot. And like i the molten rock army.

I kinda like the scheme on the box there. Reminds me of some lizards I saw at a reptile park a while back and it has a 'Nid vibe to it. I take it these are supposed to be small-scale nasty critters?

Making good progress dude.

@Oldraven, they are tiny joke creatures that were kept as pets in the game B-Sieged, until they realized they explode when they are thrown at something hard, so now the orcs use them as grenades
@Comrade, I knew I had seen some similar to it somewhere, but I had forgotten where
@EvilDrcheese, Thanks, been a bit of bored with painting this week, probably due to my kids and I creating a clan in the game clash royale, and mercilessly beating each other silly

so no major progress due to boredom and little time, might get the urge in a little while, but I ddi nab this little plastic part from the trash

It was part of some littlepeople playset I think, but the mountain looks like perfect terrain for LOS blocking, plus the face on the side will get a bit of a lift from me and the whole thing turned into a lava looking volcano. I need a good name for him like Teh'Ton'ix, fist of the earth. I also plan on giving him a bit more texture with some sand texturing material I had picked up for dirt cheap and maybe adding some cork eyebrows to him to accentuate the eyes. Also if i ever get around to playing with the hot glue and trying to do lava I might just give him some lava drool coming off of his lips . He might even get a removable toupee of white cotton smoke that sits on his head.

Volcano rock would be epic!

Thanks Guys,
here is how the day began....

the unit has since been completed

also more work on the volcano is being done now,

Wow, you are rattling along at an impressive rate. I love the Stone blades on those massive axes.

Nice progress so far.

Nice find on that volcano terrain, it's great when you just find things that you can utilise for hobbying.

EDC

I'm still amazed that you can produce such a volume of models of that quality.

Not gunna lie. I see the giant cheese rock fo Theo with his pizza serving minions of damnation. This counts as good work.

Thanks everyone for the feedback
April has been a very impressive month for me painting wise. I had an actual concept for this army going into it, and it did not vary much from the plan. So with a little cheating (4 models were done last month in the last couple days of that month, but I'm finished a couple days early this month so in a months time ) I completed my 2000pt. kings of war counts as ogre army with a whole bunch of stretch goals thrown in.

here is the army shot

so that's 76 models in the last 30 days (36 of the mulfins in the last 2 days really bumped the total up, but People have said that individual models each count as one right? and they count as red goblins (with appropriate yellow bellied rule) in the game for me.

here is a shot of the mulfins, I decided to just do a simple yellow tone for them to help them match the army but not look like molten rock.


there is only 3 poses to those models, but they make a great line dancing formation .

Impressive work rate Theo, you should be very proud to have got an army completed and in such a short time scale as well.

Line dancing Mulfins are a meme in waiting.

Line dancing lol...was more thinking on the lines of "walk like an Egyptian..."

Impressive work load mate! Feel proud about that!

From a nifty concept to a great execution-- that's the key, I think, to a sweet army. The mulfins are cute, as well. Nicely done all around. Do you have a project in mind for May?

Great job mate, kudos. I didn't know anyone had ever "finished" an army

Technically the army is not done yet. There are anothe 27 models that I have for this army, but I have enough points and models to represent at least 3000pts right now. The others will get done eventually.

As for May....I'm thinking of doing another KOW army, maybe not all in a month as the points per model for them are much lower, but I have a couple days to think it over. I also have more Black Plague to finish now that the next wave is due to us "soon", so it might be that.

Fantastic looking army bud, great idea, brilliant execution, wonderful stuff.

Good work speed Theo, and nicely done.

Very impressive getting all of that done, Theo. For me, each model is one model, so yeah.

I'd like to see you knock over the final 27 of these in May before moving onto the next thing.

Looking good! Great turnover with a neat scheme.
