So, I finish up, paint, prime and varnish a Skyweaver Harlequin jetbike. I take it to Ice's to show him. Guess what happens on the way home.

You finally see that WM's view on Mad Max was correct and that Harlequin was mocking you for it or...

You founded a new religion where all girlfriends must buy you models... or

You had a dream where Git's started a new modeling project and you hadn't posted on his blog yet...or ...

You had another dream where Ramos painted a Warlord titan....

anywhere close?

Solar and Zambro correct.

Then I shoddily plastic glued it. Then I shoddily pinned it. Will try to get pics out soon.

Edit: Except the Mad Max thing.

Wait... What? It's a trap! Get an Axe!

Do you have enough Harlies to do an Allied detachment now?

You can't do an Allied detachment of Harlies. They have no HQs. I can do a list of them once I build the tank and the last Skyweaver. I can also do some of the formations.

Not all fully painted yet of course.

I don't have the book so how are you gonna use them to punish Ice and his new ork gun emplacement?

And aren't we owed a pic of said piece?

Not saying I'm impatient, because I like to think I'm not. However still want to see what went wrong

Yeah... what Knightly said! Invoking the Git rule!!

Yeah, I hear you. And I will get a picture when I can. I just can't say no to my adoring legions of fans.

This is a good thing, I'll bug you in a week yeah?

I'd like to see the pic as well.

Pic was taken. Waiting for GW store to put it on the facebook so I can put it on here.

And there you go.

Beautiful.

Wow wow wow!!

Absolutely LOVE those colors! Very well done

To be honest I didn't know what to expect, what I got was nowhere near what I hadn't expected, looks very Moonpie, and that is a good thing

Thanks for brightening up my morning, guys.

Glad you liked it.

I have decided that I like the Masque name "The Prismatic Cackle" for them.

Rainbow... didn't expect that .. very appropriate.

At first glance I read it as "The Prismatic Cake" and was then disappointed when I re-read it.

Looks very nice moonpie, must have been hard keeping those lines straight.

I used some small masking tape I picked up at the art store and used a micro pen to put them in, then used that as a guide.

Prismatic Cake *chuckles*

That name *would* be VERY moonpie....

Moonpie, I think it is almost time for a nice group shot. You should bring your guys over tomorrow and I'll take some quality photos of your army.

If you'd like of course.

Ok.. now waiting on the group photo...

We took them. Ice emails me then I put them up. That's what needs to happen yet.

Moonpie, your pictures have been uploaded. I will let you do the rest.

I will post one picture to appease Solar.

Very festive.. they go very well together

That is the kind of unit that looks great on the tabletop in contrast to all the drab and uniform stuff you mostly see. Well done!

kestral, do you mean something like this?


This would be Moonpie's Space Wolves.

Here are some more Wolves. I work a little rainbow in there.

I like the Space Wolves. I think it would be fun to work them in with that new Horus Heresy box set. I like my wolves to have parts from at least 3 kits on each of them, one of them not being a part of the Space Marine line.

Here is a look at the next two Skyweavers of the bunch:





You can see that I fiddled with them a bit. My last will be figuring out how to have one with the rider hanging off the back. This was a request from my girl, which is better than her typical response of benign disgust tempered with utter apathy. I feel I should reward that interest.

Don't hold your breath on any immediate updates. As Ice said, I am moving. I am not organized at all, so I'll have to spend a couple weeks just getting everything organized. I am looking forward to the new setting, but I hate moving. Hate it.

Ice mentioned that he might be interested in helping out with that. He loves organizing and being organized and all that jazz. I, apparently, like being a slapdash slob.

It'll be nice to have a decent place to be able to invite him and others over to. I've been skirting the edge of being the star on Hoarders and everything I own has a film of ash and tar on it, so it stinks and is dirty. Hopefully, having to brave the winter weather to grab a square will help me quit or at least cut down.

Maybe I'll make the table I wanted to have at this place. Who knows?

I hope that not too much gets broken, chipped or lost in the process.

I'll end with a psyker:



I appreciate the positive comments, kestral and Solar. It is nice to think that by almost totally not being uniform I am achieving a certain unity. Does anyone have spare Ogryn Flesh laying around? I think I used that on the gold, but I may have still been on my purple then green kick. For as good as my memory and color-matching skill is, I should take much better notes. But then it wouldn't be the moonpie slapdash way.

Is slapdash a thing that Brits say?

Speaking of Brits, my mom visited your islands a month ago and said she had a wonderful time, so thank you for your hospitality.
