Thanks guys! I didn't expect the pumpkin gang to be so well received! They were a lot of fun to paint I'm not sure if i'll be doing any more for him but there's always a chance

Today i've something a little different and a little more...... naked a good mate of mine has recently got back into 40k/30k and is collecting Dark Angels in the original scheme pre heresy but also found some angry naked women he wants to use and asked me to paint them as well! of course I obliged pretty cool models to do and they worked out looking good with the black and red scheme.

hope you all approve, also probably don't look at them at work ..... because tiddies.

Spoiler:

Where did you get the wings from?
Edit: and also where the other backpart bits from

**nerdfest09**

He's a model from Wargames exclusive! really really nice model too!

**Pomander Cask**

Lord Disco and lord Executioner look great, very evil and menacing. The cobweb around the spider’s mouth is a nice touch.

Also, the Carnival Grotesques from earlier this week look terrific.

**Heretic Tom**

That ring master is next level, great job. I'm guessing it was an exercise in patience, but the end result is really incredible.

**Gitsplitta**

More spectacular models nerdy. We are truly blessed to worship at your feet!

**nerdfest09**

Thanks fellas the Disco lord was great fun to paint and just looks cool, really fits the chaos aesthetic of yore

there will certainly be no bowing at my feet

just in case anyone touches them and I accidentally kick you in the face

Barry Tronvasse the ringmaster could have been a bit neater with the conversion but I was sort of feeling him out as I went along and wanted to paint him

still works though and I quite like the glowing whip to add that little bit of bright colour they all seem to have.

**Dr H**

Great work on the many many things since my last visit.

**aku-chan**

Your carnival crew continues to be awesome!

**nerdfest09**

Thanks Aku-chan I really need to start converting some more models for it! I think with some arriving bits I could make either mandrakes or wracks? they'll be skinny ghoulish twisted little characters, so maybe wracks as i'll need a few of them won't I :-) i'm thinking sort of carnival zombies or mutants

**Theophony**

Are you going to convert all the transports to look like Sweet Tooth’s van from Twisted Metal?

**IGtR=**

Fantastic work as ever! Great work on the chaos lads

No idea yet Theo, I'm not familiar with twisted metal but I had toyed with ideas from old school wooden wild west style things but will probably do a circus 'train' type thing since i've found some ideas on 3d print sites.

**Heretic Tom**

A circus train could be insane and epic. I like the idea of doing the wracks like just a bunch of zombie carnies who set up the tents and shovel the chaos elephant dung, etc.

**Theophony**

Was looking at this site that was shown in News and Rumors section.

They have a 90mm tall scary clown with assistant that would fit into your assortment, just not sure how

**Warboss_Waaazag**

Lots of great stuff here. I Love the pumpkin gangers and the crazy detailed Dark Angels characters.

**mcmattila**

Loving your work on the clown posse, you've got a real knack for picking the right models for your conversions! And the paintwork is top notch of course. The Dark Angel with the mk3 helmet could have the detailing in his robes picked out in white though.

**nerdfest09**

Hey guys, sorry i've been absent lately! my car got written off and I bought a new TV

but I did manage to do these 10 old school models for a new friend of mine!

he's got a collection of about 100 he needs painted and this was a fist tester to see how I went with them,

**Heretic Tom**

Wow, those are some cool minis! So much character packed into those sculpts, any idea what line they're from? I hope your enjoying the new TV

**Swaelg**

The first miniature is a Dark Elf sorceress; all other are from Mordheim. They all look fabulous.

**Gitsplitta**

Very nice nerdy!

**Solar_lion**

I'm sure the Disco Lord won't have any trouble with fighting and swinging wearing that. Great paint job.

**Pomander Cask**

Those old school miniatures look great! I like the one with the fish especially.

**youwashock**

You've done wonderful justice to those old friends. What an era in GW minis. The Augur, the Witch Hunter captain, Aenur, dude w/fish. So many good models.

**nerdfest09**

Iron Warriors Vs Dark Angels tomorrow! game #8 in 23 years :-)

**nerdfest09**

I've stayed the course and my record remains intact! another loss to me! :-(

**aku-chan**

Yay! Hand puppet guy! Always liked him.

No, no cheating for me

i'm just quite honestly REALLY unlucky rolling dice

it's a bit of a 'thing' now and my mates who have played with me are pretty incredulous as to how many 1's I can actually roll. If we turned tables and 1's were 6's i'd be top tier

**nerdfest09**

Last post for the year!

i'm glad it's got pics of models!

I just painted these 5 Bolter ladies today for a mate and now i've cleraned and dusted and organised my Nerd room ready to smack on into it next year with heaps of cool things and hopefully more updates from me!

stay safe and I hope you all have a safe and successful new year for 2020

**whalemusic360**

They might photo better on a lighter background. Losing all the detail on them with black.
