Wait. Is it using that marine for toilet paper?

Nope, just his idiot pose:



I repositioned the arm, and it looks a lot better now. Anyway, comments on the marine itself would be sweet!

this:
I'm working a Daemon Prince for my Purge renegade CSM army. The gooey yellow poo poo is just tack to hold it in place. I'm planning on green-stuffing some guts, but I can't decide if I should keep the whole leg connected, or what. Input would be great!

Repost from the oath thread. Looking for comments and tips. Unfortunately the pics are too poo poo to see the subtle deneb stone + white edge highlight on the power armour. I honestly think they look even better than this in person. Tell me what you think guys.

I'd cut off the marine's foot and reposition it so it's angled downwards, it still looks a bit like he's standing on air.

I'm back at home on the other side of the world, and I've unearthed a treasure trove of old Warhammer poo poo, including a set of unpainted Last Chancers and some hillarious and terrible Hero Quest chaos warrior conversions.

I'll take some pictures later.

Not bad at all for your first mini. Just a suggestion though, pull your camera out a little farther and you'll get a clearer pic on the mini itself; you can always crop out the parts that you don't want later.

I think I'm gonna end up magnetizing the top of the land raider instead of gluing it down; shots like these will look cool with a fully painted and detailed interior:

That actually looks pretty bad-rear end. I wonder if I can wire up the interior of a land raider with lighting successfully.

Man stop tempting me. I already talked myself out of drilling light holes along the floor and install LEDs for some mood lighting. Now if you can make the instrument panel glow green and such, that would be bad rear end.

Tempt you? gently caress man, I gotta avoid tempting myself with this poo poo.
But, sadly, my addiction comes from the assembly and conversion of poo poo, so it'll get done sooner or later. :sigh:
As for the instrument panels, have a gander at this poo poo.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I'm planning on having Space Wolves Grey be the uniting colour of my Skaven horde, and I normally just wash it with Asurmen Blue. But I want to do real blending and fancy painting when I get to my Warlord, so what's a good three-step blend involving this colour? I think Shadow Grey would be the darker shade, but any thoughts would be appreciated. (I also have Ultramarine Blue and Ice Blue, if it's any help.)

No can do, junior. I've got an itch, and the only thing that'll scratch it is risky painting!

Actually, I painted the sand with a grey mix of that Daler Rowney acrylic ink. I was surprised at how the high flow of the stuff wicked straight into the sand and practically refused to go onto the model, even if I brushed up against it. That stuff has some really interesting properties.

I'm tempted to, once I'm done painting these sisters, clearcoat them with this paint-on stuff I've got. It's a tiny bit shinier than dullcote, but drat if it ain't durable, and I think it might tone down a little with a blast of dullcote on top. I'm just worried about losing detail with so many sealant coats.
