Awww.. sorry Vik... its just a general thing I always do! didnt know how much P&P would be and also if anyone would be interested! Don't want to presume... but if you are.... then if it does not sell on E-bay... its yours!


Actually..... I just amended it so there is now EU P&P option....

splendid....at least i will try to raise your price by bidding^^ if i´ll win then it will be a truly nice addition to my ranks^^

When I get my act together Magos, I'll send you that box of bits, hopefully tomorrow if I'm organised. Given your epic scratchbuilding skills, maybe I'll send you some actual miniatures

You mu friend... are what they call a legend! Most appreciated mate! Really it is!

Well.... Here we go... I paint the base for my DKoK tonight.... Simple brown paint on the sand bags with agrax wash and earth pigment.... Metalics and typhus corrosion on the metal grills and barbed wire... Something simple to show off the trooper...

And I think I might have cracked a good spot to take my pics of my models now...

Just heading out but will try and full update later...

Cheers all....

ah... together with his big brother! good looking! but i would add a bit of dirt and grit on the mesh...

Did I read that you are using black coffee for washes? It has been said my tea is strong enough to paint with, but, really?

Looks neat, any more kriegsmen on their way? Great colour choice either way!

Cheers vik.... there is actually a fair bit of corrosion and dust on the base... didnt want to go over the top ... will get a pic of the base later on.... cheers for looking in!

Mate, thanks for the comments, certainly would love more DKoK but got a few wee things to do before that... just wanted to try my hand at painting an actual mini!

And yes indeed... I have been using black coffee for washes on some of my armour pieces for a while now... built up in layers it gan give a lovely grimy / oily finish.... I didnt try it on my Trooper though... got myself a pot of Agrax Earthshade for this...

Cheers again,

Well it's a very good start to your figure painting.

Thanks man! Most appreciated! Already considering putting a mud base under the metal sheeting.... but going to leave it and get stuck into my wee list of things I have to do!! I should also add to my list a wee terrain piece I am thinking of.... another one.... lol!

cheers all,

Hey all, I hope all is good,

Sitting here watching T in the Park and thanking the emperor that I didn't buy a ticket again.... I started bringing together a couple of new troopers to try out my painting on! Thanks to the generosity of some Dakkadakka brothers I have a handy wee stash of parts mow... Anyway... I am pretty happy with how these 2 came out... One sergeant and one spotter/sniper... Sent out of the forward position to recon.... Added a couple of bits and bobs and have some gaps to fill before paint but IMHO they are good! Love to hear you thoughts on their stances.etc... Cheers

Looks great, nice and dynamic posing plus excellent bits and bobs

And in respect to the one who supplied the excellent bits and bobs... I have decided from now on our good sergeant shall be known as Sgt Graven! Long may he dispatch the enemies of the emperor back to the abyss!

Little people look good.

Have a look at the mould line down the pointy arm though.

Wait, let me dig out my Imperial seal of approval

They look neat, if you want some heads without gas masks to go with them pm me, i'm sure we can all chip and you'll have a small platoon of guardsmen before you know it.

Hey gents, thanks for all of the comments! Really appreciated....

Had a wee go at another scenic base for Sgt Graven & his squad. To go with my usual theme... Muddy trench sith timber boards and some wrecked wire and storage boxes. Going to basecoat this evening and get painting....

LoER comp piece is going to get hammered this week also for sure! Got some good ideas nailed down now and really need to push the boat out!

Cheers all,

nice looking display...are you going to paint the figs in situ?

Hey mate thanks for lokking in!

The troopers are only stuck on with a tiny dab of glue just now so I am able to remove Them for painting! I have PMyou regarding the coffee washes.... hope It is of some help!

Holy moly .....50k views on my blog!!!! Madness! Thanks all,

a nice dashing looking crew!

i am still marvelling as to where these heads are from....??? i think i´ve seen them around somewhere...

Cheers Vik. Not sure where the heads are from.... I got them from a wee sulply drop from inmygravenimage

I agree... I like the variety in the squad so far... and... we have Sgt Graven, how about radio op Von Domm?

Really got to get the finger out for the LoER comp too!

so...kind of a DJ von domm then... *bows*

the model has something of the action shots on movie wallpapers from the 70´s to late 80´s i think... classics are always cool^^

That's very cool indeed! Lovely build, great posing. The heads are pig iron, I believe.

pig iron... have to take a look...hmmm... nope...?

Voila:

mebby these?

Possibly! I have various warlord bits lying about

Hey Vik,

no I didn't do anything to the heads... just added the breather tubes from the bottom of the filter.. but apart from that I did nothing to them exept glue them in place!


Oh... the 3rd trooper..... DJ von Domm.... has a Victoria Miniatures head. I do know that one because it was from a full sprue!
