Your painting is leagues ahead of where it was in your ol' Orc days! Fantastic work! Sucks you had to sell the Titans... I know you have always loved the large models.

Thank you eldan.

Bloody shame bud. Life really sucks at times. You will get there though.

Hope everything is ok, yell if I can help.

Cam you are wonderful. Build the models for yourself. I am watching the ork gargant.

Yeah those orks make me cringe now thanks for stopping by zid. Its ok i still have big ones.


Anyways did some painting on the levithan.

Haha I love your old orcs though! Much more fun to play than your billions of Vendetta IG... I still have pictures from an old battle rep where my demons won that one Fatecrusher FTW!

Tis my fate was crushed i have since redone both armies twice. Waiting for the codex to bring in the orks this thread. Their dread wall awaits table. They have tried many times and are sad with results.


Anyways... my workshop has been invades by a new enemy..

Nice rich red you have there.

Necron technology is so advanced even their models can stand on vertical surfaces...

We're here for you. Keep Calm and Paint On.

The invasion must be going well for the Necrons, Panda seems to be hiding from them....or has been enslaved by them and is chained somewhere in the Labyrinth with just a paintbrush and a bucket

Fiends! We need our Panda fix, let him go.

You should see what they do when you are not looking. Its amazing.

The paints broke too. Keeping calm as requested. *internal screams of 10,000 grots being sucked into the warp*

They put me to bed for a while. I eventually decided *rouge panda protocols enabled* of my own free will *programming.... error kernel panic* that i should come back to dakka with more content

Surprisingly this worked. Thank you for the save.

Where we are going we do not need clean hands!

Update to the plog. Firstly I regret to inform you I will be traveling for 3 weeks. Its mandated by the current leader of the Imperium, and as a loyal toaster constructor, I obey. I will be traveling to the flats of Mars which I will observe the new construction of ping-pong servitors.

I will attempt to bring hobby with me to work on and post from my remote location.

Firstly the invasion continues growing as scout reports show below. It is expected this is only the spearhead of the death metal advance on the world.


Luckily the local Astra Militarium regiment is also bolstering its forces to lend aid. The unnamed female regiment hails from a harsh sandy world with such storms requiring the tanks to be elongated to handle the terrain as well as balance the weapons, rounded to weather the wind, and most of the weapon capabilities being enclosed or shielded from the elements directly. And due to the lack of naturally occurring terrain features for cover, they elongate their barrels of standard weapons on the primary turrets.



What we have here front to back is

2 demolisher tanks with tripple heavy flamer (sponsons and hull)
2 twin battle cannon tanks with tripple heavy bolters (sponsons and hull)
2 annhilator patterns with hull lascannon

Their barrels are super long lascannon and for some reason, I like this conversion. I intend to add some ropes of plastic string to make coils at the base of the barrels to make it more iconic to the lascannon commonly seen.

close up


In other news, I broke 2 airbrushes in 1 day. But this provided prompt excuses to buy new parts and a new airbrush. Accepting that the machine spirits of air sprayers were not with me, and no oils to lubricate myself and the machines and in general, a complete lack of prays or lit incense the atmosphere was not sexy enough to satisfy the machine spirits.

I humbly flipped the machine spirits off in a torrent of binary data that their ancestors crashed and burned about.

I wiped the desk clean and pulled out the super glue. And began building what I have shown and things I have not shown. Those things I have not shown shall be saved for a later date. I am converting the Armigers to be a little fancier than your average Armigers.

Thank you all for the support and comments. You are what makes dakka dakka worthwhile.

the towelettes and bucket weren’t for your hands , but glad you overrode the programming and escaped. Hopefully your 3 week trip works out well. What is it that you do again? I mean besides building cool models and being an all around painting guru.

You would have to show me what they are for then. Because honestly i am ar a complete loss.

It should work out ok. An average detective could figure it out pretty quickly with my email. However i am a cyber security research specialist. Or more unofficially toaster care taker of terra.

I much enjoy painting and sweet models though.

Three weeks in glorious Foggy Bottom?

I think the smell of a cows butt is out of my nose.

Returned home. And i managed to beef up the necrons again as well as even play a game with them against dark eldar. Then accidentally acquired a ton of necron destoyers.

Lessons learned from the necron game:
Monoliths are actually called sad-a-liths
Catacomb command barges are - bad-ass-mando-barges

Live long and have a good time.

I keep having to resist chatting with you about cyber security.

Yes, the Monoliths are, sadly, well past their salad days.

Just a matter of getting more Necrons working for you, Brian.

Good show, Panda.

Salad has ecoli. Monoliths have living metal. Both are sad.

I continue onwards with even more robots.

E.coli, the true reason all the Necrons were put into metal bodies .

More robots are always good, just ask Will Robinson.

I dont know if any of you watched the netflix series, but it is actually pretty good. Ecoli is always why the robots are needed.

I worked on something not as robotic as intended... well things i color'd i figured the old woo built a model stuff gets old.

working on the hell blasters


made an attempt at a power sword


and of course... a first stage to some basing... I want to see how some colors/painting works out on it.


You are smart if you notice the commander was already based in it... I got a bit ahead of myself.

Power sword is looking good. It gives the idea that there is energy flowing without the typical lightning bolt around it.

I’m a dummy because I missed the commander wading through the mud . He needs to find a tactical rock to step up on so he can see the battlefield.

Good use of the old Razorback transfer though.

Thanks Theo. Tactical rocks are intelligent to have... perhaps for the chapter master... I do like my some easy transfers!

on to current things


made to mud bases, anyone here have a preference to which one is better?/like more. The marines are getting based in it.

And things i am working on...


chow for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Right base.....because it’s the right one , no it looks just a hair brighter than the left.

Good work on the marine-y type chap.

"There's some lovely filth over 'ere..."
Good mud, looks just like some we have around here.

I think the glossy finish of the right one works better. But maybe add a matt dry-brush of light brown at the end to show the peaks drying out... how dry depends on how light you go.

So at what height was the cow when this happened?

JK, looks really effective, prefer glossy moist mud myself.

Panda, you lazy. Post updates!

I can muster some glossy. About 6 inches

I am super lazy. I would spew excuses. But instead look forward to the future more is coming. This is really just a heartbeat update for those who do say hi.
