How comfortable are you with yellow?
I've always thought the Imperial Fists (http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Fists) were a striking and underrepresented color scheme.
I'm going to do Space Wolves myself.

Are you guys just trying to torment me now? ;)
I really like yellow Marines. I've painted quite a lot of them in the past indeed. And I've always been partial to Lamenters due to their crazy backstory and great colour scheme.
This actually is the second vote for Howling Gryphons I got already. o_o
I just looked at your Death Guard minis on my tablet. This allowed me to zoom in on the photos, and I have to say they are Exquisite! You should post closers shots of these.
Hope you like them!I hate them - because I'll never be able to do a scheme as attractive as this :D
Man! With all that nurgly goodness I almost think I should retract my earlier wish for Spacies in the near future. I don't want to feel compelled to get back into 40k after all. ;D
Worth every second you've spent on them, they look incredible!
@Grimmar: Cheers, much appreciated!Seriously, if i have ever seen better painter Harlequins i just cant recall it at this time.
Nice! 8) is the weirdboy a new ork model? I don't remember ever seeing that figure anywhere!
Cracking update 8)
I'm not really a fan of gimmicky figure advertising but that noodle box tickle me lol
@fluffy05: Thanks very much. :) It's just black (craft store), white (Schmincke acrylic) and a blue-ish light mid-grey (Vallejo Intermediate Blue) and mixes thereof. For funsies I also used Reaper's Snowdrift white for not-quite-final highlights, because it's a blue-ish grey/white I got for free earlier this year and it fits the whole pseudo-NMM on the guns. I do own two of Vallejo Game Colors' Extra Opague paints. Not many, because I generally don't do much with the Game Color range, but I got two, and they're really nice paints.
@fluffy05: Any time and I will! :D Especially since I'm pretty sure we've crossed paths quite a few times now. Could it be that you posted on Druchii.net? Somehow I got a mental image of your username on there.
I guess I'm at the "last 20% which take 80% of the time" stage of the project now.
And now I'll go to bed and read the Chain of Command rules again. I'll demo that gem of a game on Sunday to a band of Bolt Action players.Good luck! Convert the heathen! lol
Nice...60 Gretchin...rather you than me :D
Sigur, you are a painting machine!
And your brushstrokes are where quality and quantity meet in a crescendo!
Oh, right, the cat. Yeah, here it is:
I like a whole bunch of GW's current figures. The Sisters of Battle range - which was already great, especially with the 2004 additions - got no less impressive (shame the new figures are so huge and don't fit with my collection).
I have to admit that I'm out of the GW loop as well. When I got these guys I had to ask "so are these dark eldar or eldar?".They're both, aren't they? I thought they belonged to a sub faction that contained both regular and dark eldar.
As I said above, it's not just nostalgia. Eldar, from 1992 on at the latest, just rock in terms of design and background. :D
So are they all armed with missile launchers?
Do you get different build options?
I Have the metal ones somewhere all missiles just thought maybe the new ones where different?
That's an awesome model. When I was still hard into 40k I once got a decent amount of FW models. There was an Revenant titan, a flyer and this one. The flyer and Titan have long been sold off. I just had to conclude I'd never get around to painting them (luckily enough time had passed that the models had become so expensive on FWI sold them at the same price I got them.
The avatar I haven't parted with. It's just an integral part of the eldar army and I really don't like the normal one. I aim to paint that one still, at some point. Maybe stargrave will give me an excuse to dig out some eldar.
Wonderfull job. I mostly see very clean paintjobs on them. Often well painted, but a bit cartoony compared to this one.
It really gets across what the raging inner fire of the bloody handed God would do to it's outer metal shell. Makes it very intimidating.

What rate is above first rate... Firstest rate? :-* :o
'finger licking good'? :D Working out fake junk foot booth names got me hungry for questionable meals....
Heyhey, last weekend we playtested a conversion for using What a Tanker! for Battletech (or mech combat in general):

Hope you find the article interesting!
An addition to a Van Saar gang for Necromunda. Rather interesting figures, these dudes here, and the stark difference to the regular Van Saar gang box. That one's bristling with weapon options and so on. The flyboys and -girls here come with exactly no options. Very much digitally designed kits, with just one possible pose and no armament options. The gentleman I built and painted these for provided me with all the Forgeworld upgrade packs though, which allowed me to at least give them a little variety. The big guys on foot are especially problematic, since they got the same body, the only difference would be the equipment on the left arm. I had to do some cutting and fitting to at least turn the head on the one and add a different arm and gun.
@fluffy05: :D Honestly, so far I put 33m 18mm-tape into this project and surely no less than 5m 10mm tape and smaller. Not that I'm the most efficient about using tape, but it's pretty crazy. Cheers on the Snow Troopers. They were a bit challenging due to them being ..well, all white. And usually the first thing I look for in a figure is "where can I generate colourful contrast?". You either are a very sick puppy or these SW:L plastics are really bad. :D Just kidding. I assume the 'resin plastic' ones are less hassle to put together. So far I painted a fair few of Atomic Mass Games' (who are doing all the formerly FFG miniatures related things now, right?) Marvel superheroes (here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=129389.0 (https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=129389.0)), all of which are plastic. I didn't build them, but let's say I did some fixing and some gap filling/repositioning prior to painting them and they seemed like regular hard plastic kits. So I assume the Star Wars ones are along the same lines.
Very impressive - be fun to play Gaslands with all those ork vehicles do love the one that looks like a VW Beetle lol
Utterly outstanding as always. I don’t feel worthy enough to comment further in fact.
Right, I hope that you like them!
Just look at the deisgn of this one. I really like those big, round "upper thighs" and how you can see the arms of the pilot sticking out of the belly, mimicking the arm movements of the big robot (or the other way around actually). Of course there's a ton of Evangelion in all of these, but that's been the design go-to for the past quarter of a century, right? ;)
The arms are interesting, since the TAG's are meant to be piloted throguh remote presence; there's no actual pilot inside these things!
Just another indication that with Infinity designers, the rule of cool and the nods to the reference material always have precendence over 'realism' :D

...As you can see, I opted for not painting the side hatches on the Whirlwind red (as usually was the thing with support vehicles in 2nd edition). But as mentioned before, this is supposed to be an "early 3rd edition" army (main reference being the rulebook and codex Space Marines), which to my interpretation has a few little differences to an all-classic 2nd edition (main reference being Codex Ultramarines). I keep most of the 2nd edition look, as did the studio army of the time, but with tiny little changes that will make people say "this is wrong!" and I'll say "technically I'm not! Which is the best way of not being wrong!". And then people and I have a little, petty staredown before we each realize that the other side knows their stuff and then we have beers and curry and complain about how things are now as opposed to then. The joys of being old. :D
Should I group them together on two bases or keep them just as separate pieces for flexibility? What do you think?Make another set and do both ideas.
@Daeothar: :D Well, maybe the gentleman I build and paint these for will add either of them at a later point. Would be pretty cool.
@Grimmnar: Yeah, that would give me the most to play with for sure.
@syrinx0: Indeed!

:P
@Pattus Magnus: I know, I'm terribly susceptible to dark, shiny sci-fi armour. If there's a large, single-coloured surface I try to make up for the lack of contrast in colour by making it shiny. Which is not the regular way of painting Battlemechs. :D And which I think I will tone down a bit on the rest of the lance (20 is too many for a lance, right? what is that? A company?)
@LouieN: Cheers! Well, they do call me the edge lord. :P
@Daeothar: Yeah, maybe a bit too squeaky clean. Maybe a bit more scratched-up than polished on the next few.... :)
Wow, that’s a magnificent looking force!
