You live up to your nickname, I thought it was an Eldar cruiser for BFG and got kinda dissapointed. Specialist games don't get enough love :(

How long have you been painting? I really like your stuff. Not a fan of most of those sculpts, Reaper figs don't really appeal to me. Still like what you've done with them though.

The best practice I actually had was going through the entire roster of the Talisman board game. I got to basically paint every color, patterns, metallics, try different effects like lightning. They all look like crap, of course.

Reaper's figs appeal to me mostly because I loved mythology growing up, and the generic fantasy setting, and they have everything under the sun. And yeah, they are a hell of a lot cheaper than GW, or pretty much any other manufacturer for that matter. I just picked up the new Pathfinder Dragon for like $25.00.

Reaper is capable of great stuff, but unfortunately a lot Reaper is just a step or two above CMGs like Dreamblade or the plastic D&D line.

That pathfinder dragon looks awesome, though. I may need to pick that up. And this:

Yeah :v:. That said, Eldar BFG ships are sweet as it is, probably could use a Void Stalker as a base for a bike anyway.

It's freehand, unless the transfer sheet has changed, I've got a million of the things here and none have it. It could be a custom transfer?

EDIT - Found him. Holy crap.. Reaper may make some BAD stuff, but it nothing else it's inspiring me to WANT to paint it. Time to spend like $30 on Reaper minis for NO REASON AT ALL. Anyone know of anything else equally awesome? I already found some badass in steampunk armor.

i just took a look at the reaper minis webpage and that is one of the worst layouts i've ever seen. as cool as they are, i wouldn't buy any reaper minis because that webpage is loving atrocious. also, PV, when are you going to get some cylindrical plasticard on your site? i will buy that poo poo up immediately.

I didn't notice any major issues with the layout, honestly. Click what you want, go to gallery, done.

Ignorance, the root of all evil
If I wanted to make a hill bunker type thing, what would be a good material to use for the "hill" part? I was thinking either foam or some sort of clay/epoxy. I'm guessing foam would be ideal, but I don't know how hard it is to work with, particularly if I'm going to be putting doors and such in it. And I'm guessing clay/epoxy would be a bit expensive for something as big as a hill. Perhaps a combination of the two?

Thoughts/suggestions?

Yeah, they're a bit over the top. The reindeer farseer was really never my favorite.

The bike looks good, though I can't help but hear whalesong as I browse the pics. Looks like that shuricat ought to be sticking out through a veil of baleen.

This is not, by any stretch, a bad thing.

Yeah. It's from a Shining Spear Exarch - I have a spare torso from the shining spear box that also has a little rune on the shoulder but no bunny ears, but the ears look more Farseer-ish, Ghost Helm and all.

Furthermore, due to the whale comment I think I'm going to paint eyes and have it as a big red whale jetbike.

Cop that, Space Sharks.

Bending/cutting/pinning/etc. The 2 of them took me almost 3 hours to assemble, including dropping one and watching it explode like a pewter grenade all over my hardwood floor

use a combination of both. Foam is pretty easy to cut into. Once you get the rough outline of the hill with the foam, cover the thing with spackle.
