"Dark Reapers"

For those of you who aren't geeky: Alt text is the alternative text for
an image just in case a user who views a web page without images
loading wants to know what the image is.

In this case, you can either it when you click on the link. While the images
load the alt text appears in the place where it will be. Or you can right-click
the image and view its properties. The alt text will be listed on the box
that pops up.

Just thought it was funny when I should have been working...

Well I think the painting guide is fine. Sure those are odd looking fire dragons, but I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this mix up

I'm sure it's just a web guy forgetting to check things.

To be fair, they're much better painted than my Fire Dragons.

That is a terrible painting guide! Typo aside, the fire dragons (the actuall fire dragons...) are worse than the stuff from "The Red Period" when they premiered... The rest of the paint jobs are pretty crap too. I'd ask what happened to the days when you looked up to GW's ability to put out beautifully paint jobs on beautiful figures but I know that this is what happens when you gut your creative department.

I dont get it? what am I supposed to be looking for?
It might help if i read malfred first post properly.

ah I see. hmm interesting, NOT

Dude all GW painting guides are gak and have been for years.

Just look at army books. Beastman painting, one shot of a fully painted gor.

"we painted this beastman Scorched Brown..."

Guide ends. Come one man what about the highlights, what about the base coat, What about the cloth? And have you noticed how they stick Goblin Green into every paint guide/ description on boxes even when it isn't even there?

We no longer get the stage by stage painting guides so you can actually (as a beginner) understand the process, or the fantastic white dwarf masterclasses.

New WD masterclasses? please those are a joke. Heres a crappy stock photo, we used these 3 colours. Or even worse heres Bills model from the Xenter name hereX store, he drybrushed with a beautiful mixture of codex grey and fortress grey... doesnt it look pretty children?

Hobby support in GW webpages and mags is sadly non existant.

At least Forgeworld don't insult the modellers intelligence.

More and more I find myself joining the cult of Corvus Belli, the fifth chaos god in this modelling panetheon . Never played the games but beautiful sculpts and nicely produced minis.

 

 

Plus when they do a proper guide it never matches the models they actually display. I tried to painrt my BA like there guide but they turned out nothing like it, The disapointment
