@Blackwolf: Thanks very much! I didn't build that one; that credit goes all to the gentleman who sent me these figures along with the order to paint them up all nice. :) But I'm not a big fan of the tendency of some 40k figures to sport all too many guns. Replacing barrels with 1/35th scale aluminium ones sounds very sensible.

@syrinx0: Cheers! :) Yeah, more colour always trumps less colour. Thanks!

@tomrommel: Thanks very much!

Right, here's some more proper shots of the units:

The new pictures really show off your hard work.  Excellent attention to detail on all of these.

Caught up on a few pages here. Lovely lovely work. I especially love the Orks.

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

That's actually not correct, some TAG's are remote, some are piloted.  In fact there are rules for Pilots outside their TAG's now.  O-Yoroi are piloted by Samurai who are Martial Arts masters and there is a O-Yoroi Pilot figure available.

Wow, I love the corroded texture on those “blight drones”.  Impressive!

@syrinx0: Thanks very much! I'm always haunted by the thought that people may think I'm taking shortcuts or don't put in effort (because I sometimes see it with other painters, and I find that some people seem to put 'getting it done quickly' as the highest priority in figure painting), so I'm always glad to read comments such as yours.

@Ajax: Cheers! Yeah, I like to think that at this point I'll get along with any type of figure. Some specialize in one sort of figure, which leads to a swift output, but I also assume it leads to a creative dead end and a fried brain. :D

@Aliensurfer: Thanks!

@beefcake: Thank you! The Orks are pretty cool figures. :D The gentleman who gives them to me for painting does a great job with subtle (or plain great) conversions.

@Randell: Right, thanks for clearing that up then! I vaguely remembered that many Nomads TAGs were piloted as well, but I wasn't sure how that worked for other factions.

@Bloggard: Just wait what's next! ;)

@Cacique Caribe: Thanks very much. These blight drones were released about 10 years ago or even longer and were the first to show the "new" Nurgle demonic machines designs and I loved them right away - not the least because of the corroded textures. That's the thing with Forgeworld figures vs. GW figures - FW's figures have texture. The quality of the sculpts vary, but the textures on everything organic (or similar) are always very good. And textures are great. Smooth is nice for certain figures such as Infinity figures or Space Elves, but demonic/organic things need texture.


Well, I decided I should take more army photos:

So much for the Nurgle figures.



Now for something else:

It's a bunch of Zephyrim (that's Seraphim, but instead of two boltpistols they got power sword and a bolt pistol. And they got spikes on their jump packs) and the great/absurd model "Triumph of Saint Katherine". :D

Hope you like them!

@Pattus Magnus: Thanks very much, Sir!

'ello. :) I'm finally back to painting 40k-Figures, and back to painting Goff Orks! Here's a WIP shot of some of them:


full size image: https://i.imgur.com/4OpXiww.jpg

Not a huge batch this time - 3 Killkopters, 1 big Ork in Mega Armour, 10 more Kommandos, a Rukkatrukk Squig Buggy. Not pictured (because they're still just primed): a Dakka Jet and a Kill Bursta / Kill Blasta (that's the big Forgeworld tank). Hope you like them so far!
