Clearly, embracing Papa's blessings has paid off on all fronts! Stay strong bro.

I hope, thing are still getting worse around here, but looking solid so far.

Just ordered the Ender 3. Should be here in a couple weeks. Already eyeing some free stock files to try out.

Nurgle stuff is looking good, and the timing for painting Nurgle is most appropriate given the global situation.

Yep, timing was spot on .

Well quick work this morning. Still need to do the horns and bone handle of the sword, but otherwise done.

He’s a bugger.

New guy is looking good. Sorry about the work situation. Hope it all goes as planned.

Good work and seemingly good news.

That's a cracking blightking there.

Thanks guys. Work situation will be fine. My company is doing what’s best for overall business, and taking care of us in the process. More than I can say for a lot of people who are hurting right now.

Because Graven painted up a GIGANTIC gorilla, I felt the need to paint up a gorilla of my own . Mine might not be as big as his (wait this is sounding poorly ), but what he lacks in size he makes up for in shear power....and an energy field generator on his back doesn’t hurt .

Bounding forward is POWER GORILLA



I really loved this sculpt and DUST tactics has squads of this guy without the cables and power packs, but I just don’t feel the need to spend that sort of money. Seriously you guys know how cheap I am.

Later

I love your... Tiny gorilla

I mean, he's nice and all, but sometimes when you're talking weird science apes, bigger is better...

++secretly hoping to start a flame war that just involves Theo and graven alternately posting bigger and bigger space gorillas..++

Power gorilla! He is perfect, no matter what the size

Theophony,

More green and brown goodness...with a little grey gorilla thrown in for color.

Cheers,

CB

Looks like this place has gone ape...

And you painted a cool gorilla.

Well, my furlough has official begun.

Hopefully I don’t run out of paint , got this guy done and ready to reap some lives for Papa Nurgle.

Love the Gorilla!

One thing that you've definitely helped me settle on his is to do the flesh tones of my blightkings as, well, flesh. I wasn't 10% by that last guy has tipped me over the edge, as it were. Great stuff!

Thanks Zerg , he is a fun one to paint. I do have to give DUST props for making nice models, but price wise there’s just no way I can justify getting into that game. I guess they are shooting for the weird war people who don’t want to customize units. They have the preprinted stuff which is really nice, but for twice the price .

I do really enjoy the skin tones, which is something I’ve dreaded for a long time. I keep thinking that maybe I should do the demons in a different tone, but I like my silly fleshy nurglings.

And family picture

I think the flesh-colour makes them that much more horrific, because it makes them RECOGNIZABLE. It's not just "oh gross monster," it's "oh man that thing looks almost human!" in a way that plays with the uncanny valley.

Yeah, the horror of “wait, that was Fred “ when you see the corruption that has taken hold of a chaos warrior and knew they once were a prime health heroic individual.

Speaking of Fred. He got some paint on him.


One more for the plague god.

Fred always was into his campanology..

Had to look that up , but yes he loves his bells.

Day one of my Furlough . How have you all handled it. I’m not one for sitting around the house. Two jobs, running kids places and going to see parents/grandparents has always kept me sane....or at least at the level I have been at. Got a scolding for wanting to go to Walmart, then given a list of things to get . Took a nap....still half a day to fill up.

So I painted/repainted for the third time the big Aztec looking gorilla like guy from Blood Rage. Now he matches Power Gorilla. I think I will call him The Great Ape who fell from the sky. Need to find an English to Aztec translator .

I have a feeling I’ll be looking into more gorillas and apes for no real reason.

They go great together.

I have been working the whole time, being "essential" and so on. I imagine if I wasn't I would have tried to drown myself in painted models. Good luck!

Machi-hatun would be Great Ape in Quechua, which would be pretty suitable I reckon? I imagine your kids are keeping you pretty busy too. I really need to get one of the dust apes to add into the mix.

That is looking ape-tastic, I love such weird concepts and your paintjob has done them justice!

Cool pair of Apes, the cool blue glow suits them really well. Models will help with the old sanity I’m sure!

Yeah, I’d still be at the hospital if I hadn’t taken the new position , but in the long run it will turn out for the better.


Morning Nurgling Dance Party.

Always a fun party

I need to get on some AoS Nurgle stuff, there's some nice nurglings about - I have ideas for little dioramas involving them


As for sanity - make sure you're getting outside for a walk or some form of exercise, focus on your hobbies (if they're all ones that can be done at home), and I'm sure the family will keep you on your toes.

I’ve got to get these monkeys off my back .




Ive been blocking in colors on some Nurgle stuff and playing Monopoly with the family. Between all that I’m doing some clean out of the basement and ran across this fellow. Some super smart gorilla from the game The Others:seven deadly sins. Forgot I even had him, so it was fate calling me to paint him right away. I could not however allow him to have better fashion sense than me . There is no purpose to these guys, just absolute silliness. Oh well. More done out of the mountain of shame.

I also found a bunch of Mantic zombie ogres. I think I could paint them up to be Plague trolls. Anyway I am getting rid of stuff. Two trash bags full of old projects going to the dump.

And another one bites the puss.

There there, Theo', it's what you do with it that counts.

Good job on your apes and mounds of diseased flesh.

Thanks Dr. H. Having three kids I always tell guys who are bragging that same thing .

Well, worked at church this morning. Then I got home and while doing some hobby cleaning and looking at those zombie trolls from Mantic I remembered that all the bases from the Dungeon Saga Dwarf kings quest had stone looking bases. I thought those would be a great start. For frostgrave. Indeed. When I went and pulled out the three boxes of Dwarf Kings Quest that I got off the dented shelf at Miniaturemarket years ago I started pulling out all the undead guys meaning to rip them off the bases to reuse them. Good thing I remembered that the frozen city has a large undead population, I can use a good amount of these undead and even the demon guys for the random monsters in the frozen city .


Even the characters from the game make possible warband members. So before people get yanked off the bases I think I’ll do some more organizing and possibly build a warband or two.

There’s twelve models on the random table.
L to R
Two skeletons, 3 armored skeletons, two ghouls, two zombies, a wraith(undead ghostly thing) a minor demon and an Imp. I have duplicates of almost all of these that later can be used in case I roll on the chart again and get the same/ similar results. But this is a start.
