Ooh! I ought to say, Paradigm did a beautiful job of painting up Bugman, and sent him back very shortly after.

Check out his P&M blog for photos.

[Suddenly remembers] Feth, Para I owe you an apology... I've had pictures of the packaging on my phone and never sent them.

Haha, don't worry about the pics! Bit late to chase it up now, I'll just chalk it up as typical Royal Mail incometence!

I'm so sorry! I kept meaning to send them to you, but because they have my address on, I didn't want to put them on the Dakka gallery, and needed to use Imgur... which doesn't work on my phone, and so basically forgot by the time I was home a week later.

That was a far longer explanation than needed.

I'd do the dark angels if you'd like SirDonlad, postage to and from Australia shouldn't be terrible

Defintely stil up for this if anyone wants a Januine paintjob

I recon the carrion's yours Inspector264 - sounds like you'll appreciate it!

It looks to me like you and i have a very similar level of painting

Safe, send me an address via PM mr kb_lock!


Edit: holy , i think i wanna send bilbo to 'Januine'! absolutely no offense to Inspector264 but the first pic in januines profile was a chaos guy looking like a boss!

So yeah, PM me an address!

Well I am no Januine, but I will offer up my services if anyone wants to take them up.

Sure thing SirD - send away If I have time (these days that's a big IF) I'll try and make a wee dio base for him for you too. Address sent via PM

I am loving that skip in your gallery!

Skip? I am not that up to date on british slang after I quit EvE

It's great to see more folks getting excited by this idea!

I've found a couple strange pieces that I can offer when I can walk again.

I know there's a Ushabti Jackal if someone feels like trying bone and golds. It's not valuable but it was a pain in the ass to find at the time. And what can only be described as "Commissar with electric turkey carver".

The yellow thing with the old imperial propaganda poster on the side! I really like 'reality' touches like that - propaganda posters, graffiti, rubbish etc

Oh the dumpster my bad haha, yeah I am making those for my ruined urban table.

Ahhh! 'dumpster' - i have a new word to call a skip when i can't call it a 'skip'!

So, carrion to inspector264, bilbo to januine, turrets to AUGmaniac and DA dev's to kb_lock - i wish i had the time (and skills tbh) to take part in this from the other direction!

Funny, I quit eve for warhammer as well - had a new baby and couldn't deal with having the threat of needing to abandon a titan due to a dirty nappy

I had a perfect caldari titan pilot and about 35 bil when I quit. Someday I will join back up, who knows maybe the CFC will still be around

Man, I still miss it so much.

I think my final net worth was ~800b, cashed out most of it and have a mate watching over my titan pilot + titan

I can't see me ever going back to it - game is dead according to the graphs :(

ANYWAY, back on topic, I have worked out with SirDonlad and will sort them DA marines out soon(tm)

Hah, even I'm excited to see Januine paint Bilbo! Assuming you're talking about the original sculpt, with the book and ring, then that's a real classic model, one of my all time favourites! (My own copy is AWOL somewhere in my hobby room, I really need to find/replace him at some point).

I'm still waiting on Swas's Squats, but it looks like this idea is starting to get some real traction now, so hopefully it'll still be going once I'm done with them and I can take something else on!

oh yeah - good point.....which Bilbo fig is it?? He's gonna get the snazziest waistcoat!!

If I recall, this one is the only LotR Bilbo they did (although there are about eleventy billion Hobbit ones! ).

Not my pic, but it gives you an idea of how stunning the composition and sculpt is. You'll be amazed once you have it in hand at how closely it resembles Ian Holm:

It's tiny, less than half the size of any 40k you're used to, but sublime.

ah ok. nice wee sculpt that

Sounds great, I will PM you the details.

Absolutly no offence taken, Januine's work is fantastic! Bilbo will end up looking amazing!

Am I misremembering that there's one with a book on the writing desk? What am I thinking of there?

Could be a conversion; a Google search only shows up that one and the myriad Hobbit-era ones.

My apologies. I found it, and well you can see why i may have thought it was official.

This tread is a great idea, very cool. I might consider having one of you paint my Ork Warboss...

It's made me wonder about something like a single trooper work-exchange for those of us with horde armies, where they can all end up looking identical. Though coordinating that is beyond my fuzzy brain power at the moment. If you swapped about with a couple of folk, you could end up with a few little diverse figures that still fit with a theme.

Orks would be best suited to it IMHO, as long as they are green skinned, doesn't matter the tone of them

Cripes, you could even let the paint job decide which one is the warboss.

I do have some orks I am never going to paint here somewhere...

Kb lock I just dropped you a pm. Cheers

Yep, all over it like a fat bird on cake. Time for a nid invasion on my desk!
