Better not mention that warhound titan I've been eyeing then........doh!!!!!

**SirDonlad**

Awesome, Awesome stuff - Yet again, Januine!!
I enjoy painting my knights, but compared to yours? im just applying a neat multi-coloured basecoat.

I second the notion of sending your pics to the white dwarf/GW team for featuring - Do It!

**Januine**

Cheers SirD. Really glad you like him

I've seen your Knights - absolutely nothing there to be anything less than well chuffed with. Gorgeous metals.
Email + photos to WD sent earlier. Just have to wait n see.

**Theophony**

WOW

That Knight

I thought someone was posting pics of one of the masterclass books

Did I mention

**Januine**

Cheers very much - great compliment

Bells just went so a very very happy new year to us all

**Januine**

Bit of progress on the Magos. Started installing the first mechandrites. Having a wire core to them means I can twist and pose them much more later once they're filly set and anchored. Cog-axe is coming along too. Probably won't be quite that length

**Januine**

Liking how this is going. Needs some.....guns though

**Paradigm**

Nope, nope, not fair! You can't You can't be allowed to sculpt that well on top of painting as well as you do! Leave some talent for the rest of us!

**Januine**

lol. Bit nerous on this one. First time using GS for more than just filling holes n seams. The Magos' back n shoulders needed some major filling and modeling but think it came out ok. We'll see when he eventually gets primed. The axe handle was a bit of an arse to do

**Bottle**

Excited to see you start sculpting, Jan! Looking great so far :-)

**Januine**

Cheers B. Just mounted his shoulder cannons

Few more mechandrites and a wee fun detail I'm planning and he should be ready for posing. Need to buy some bases though ><

**TP^DC Deputy Manager**

Looking brilliant, the axe came out well - I'd stick with that length of handle.

**Archer**

Your Magos is incredible. Will be such an amazing centrepiece to what is already shaping up to be one of the best armies floating around the Internet. Would love to line up against it one day.

**Januine**

Cheers lads. Pretty happy how he is shaping up. Never really done a figbash/build/whathaveyou like this before so kinda feeling my way through. He has two back/shoulder mounted bolters now. just need the final few mechadrites to cure then I'll put them plus two other ones looted from the scyllax kit on. Oh and a servo skull.....or two?...

**Archer**

Definitely a servo skull or one of those creepy cherub things.

**Azazelx**

Beautiful work on that Knight. I'm also a huge fan of the Vader ice cream containers. WANT!

Oh, and the Magos is looking cool as well. Did you get those rolled-greenstuff tools? Have you looked into guitar wire as well?

**Januine**

Cheers Az. Aye - ordered up a set of the rollers before Christmas. handy dandy wee things! Thought about guitar wire but reckoned a greenstuffed wire core cable would be easier to manipulate and pose etc

**Januine**

Finally that's the ArchMagos built. The servo skull and his wee mini cogitator thingy will go on after paint. Just need the last of the GS to cure and then it's priming time!! Counted up and bits from like 7 kits/models contributed to this fine fella!! Hope yez like him

**Camkierhi**

OK that's fantastic, just brilliant bud, now get painting..

**Ustrello**

I gotta ask, where do you get your tools from to make green stuff sculpts like that?

**Januine**

cocktail sticks from the local shop, clay shapers nicked from my Dad, normal craft knife and tentacle/cable rollers from greenstuffworld

**Januine**

yup - that's the place. 12 euro for a set of 3 rollers. pretty reasonable I thought

**hk1x1**

That ArchMagos looks fantastic, I love all the little details

.

**Januine**

Cheers fella. Really stoked with how he turned out. The paint starts tomoro

**Master Azalle**

looks fantastic!

**TP^DC Deputy Manager**

Magos is looking fantastic, can't wait for the paint

**Januine**

Finally a bit of paint - first paint of 2016!! Build is all finished and the big fella is primed

**angelofvengeance**

Getting some serious John Blanche vibes here. Nice work Jan

**Januine**

Cheers AoV. Looked at a LOT of Blanche's illustrations while working on this one! Need to paint the axe and the wee computer seperately mind. First time in a long time painting a fig with the base attached but no real choice.
