I just choked on my drink a little lol. +1 Mr lock..

The dog thing is on its way to you also, Kb.

The Squats are on the way, but it'll be a couple of weeks before they arrive, so if anyone UK-based has something small you want done quick and can send out in the next couple of days I'm happy to take that on.

Let me know if you're interested, and I can try and fit you in! Like I say you'll have to quick, though; I have some minis of my own coming in towards the end of next week.

I was tempted to write the real expression of "all over it like a fat sheila on a cupcake", but I was afraid our American brethren wouldn't have been able to appreciate it as much.

Alllllllrighty then, with the Carnifex and that dog wolf thing, and the stealth comp (I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO MAKE IT), I will probably stop picking up painting requests.

I am also interested in the idea of a Distributed Denial of Grey-plastic, and sending out one or two ork minis with the only stipulation being something like "green skin, this clan, filthy as hell"

In fact, bugger it, that is what I will do - Should I start a new thread or just pollute this one?

I kinda fancy painting up an orc or two if you want kb

Happening status: It's

I'm excited to see this happen. Sadly the IG I use I'd only really be able to send to people I know aren't going to eat lose them, due to them being OOP. It's not the value so much as the buggerance of finding another.
The idea of having little camoflaged guard that match the places they've been sent to is very fun though. It's certainly given me an idea for doing your ork.

Oh man, I can do Aus Cam rather reliably

Talk about a bash on Americans!!!

Ayyy, I'm a firm supporter of ameristralia, but if you don't know way a prawn or a dickfor is, i wasn't expecting you'd know what a sheila was.

The anglosphere should all form one country, all hail the anglosphere!

Ok someone fill me in on this...I see this and im kinda interested in it. How would one start?

You just need to post saying if you'd like to paint, or if you have a figure you'd like someone to have a crack with that you're not in a rush to use.
If you want to paint, just link up a couple of examples.

If you'd like to paint an Ork, PM me

ButteryCommisar, I'd love to paint your Ushabti if you're still looking for someone to.

Oh should I have posted some of my work?

I'll give it a think - I've been tempted to have a go at learning NMM recently and work up to the Ushabti.
Also I have to sort a few poor fella's big box o stuff before I go shipping anything else out.

Hey all, this seems like a pretty cool idea so I'll step in for a go.

I've got a 99% assembled, half primed, half not GK army I've been trying to find the motivation (and time) to get painted and I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

If anyone is interested in giving them a crack, let me know. I've got the following:
11 Termies
1 Converted Libby (metal)
20 PAGKs
6 PAGKs (metal)
2 Rhinos
1 Stormraven

Hey, I got Buttery's wolf dragon dog thing today, so I will get cracking and post some updates.

WARNING: My painting speed has been called "as slow as an asthmatic pensioner carrying a disabled seal" so, don't hold your collective breaths

E: Some ameribro should pick up Rommel's GKs too

EE: I also got a Carnifex from some duder who read this and PM'd me, so I will do that at the same time as the dog, which I will start calling Trevor

His actual name is "Malryte", which this a terrible name, so Trevor it is.

The carinfex is looking awesome mate.

Glad you like it mate.

For everyone else, MSRC27 sent me a carnifex to get painted up, and I got the carapace done last night;

Going to mask that bad boy up tonight or tomorrow night once the gloss is hardened and then start on the whites

I'm thinking white undercoat to bone white / rakarth flesh mix to maybe a purple ink and/or blue oil

Ooh, shiny. Looking right proper beetley.

Oh, yes.

the colours are looking VERY 'Alien'

Yeah that gloss was surprisingly slipperly looking - the model is completely dry in those pics, I just did a gloss to survive the liquid mask - kinda thinking I won't tone it down now, that over a matte undercarriage should look pretty nasty.

Jesus Christ why is there so much dust on the model - literally can't see any of that in person - I SWEAR I'M NOT THAT FILTHY

Your camera has better defenition than your eyes?

Yeah, mine too.

How Can My Camera Be Real If My Eyes Aren't Real?

Dank meme time?

Wow, how have not more people jumped on board on this?!? I have been doing Warhammer on and off since 2003 (mostly off sadly). I paint slow and I refuse to field any gray models of my own. As a result have not played very much.

I have a variety of Black Templar and Tau models that are feeling rather naked and neglected.

Is it considered "bad form" to ask for a certain color scheme, etc.? What are your thoughts on posting some images of some models you have completed yourself and asking people to "try" at least paint similarly? I don't want to be rude, especially considering people are volunteering their time for this, but at the same time, I don't really want a rainbow themed Black Templar army either.

Hawehu - love this idea, thanks for suggesting it!

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking for a color scheme - someone out the loves to paint templar and can't afford to
