Pure awesomeness

Now it's time to go back to Colonial Marines and Predators so I can free up my schedule to finish my darn Waiqar! :D

Could be worse Polda, you painted several things, 3-4 worms, a couple pieces of terrain, and misc stuff in the time I painted 1 golem. Pics to come when I get light :D (He's a sexy golem though)

Looking back at the worms what I did is I painted 3 buttholes.

Boy do I need to change that colour mix on the mouths for something else! :D

Thanks Polda.... You just can't unsee that.

You are a true wizard, Polda.

The fact that the mouth area of the worms look like butts makes biological sense. I mean they even use it for similar reasons.

@Darthain you're welcome, enjoy that image. ;)


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, today I added some trees to the Latari Terrain and made the memorial thing. Then I went nuts so lots of pictures coming in 3... 2... 1...

For those curious, there are nails under the trees and the trees have small magnets on the bottom. This keeps them easily removable while allowing each tree to attach to and stand upright on the terrain.
Also the terrain piece does fit four trays just fine (by which I mean it looks a bit dumb but so be it).

I have no explanation for these:

Magnetic trees! Are they prefab or did you have to flock them? I'm kind of dreading making my own trees.

They are NOCH 54/32620 if I recall correctly. Haven't tried making my own trees either, just that weird stump on this terrain.

Found this guide recently. Give it a try, seems simple enough. I think I saw a tutorial for making pines on his youtube channel as well.

Taking bets 2:1 on the work loader.

Oh jeez @Polda that channel is amazing. I'm more drawn toward his tall pine trees myself. And I finally know why it's called static grass now!

Reanimate mods - replacement heads, swords and axes for the dual-wielding guys, new shields. I used the cut-off skulls as decorations for leftover Oathsworn Cav shields.

The amount of mods you craft is surreal, your army would be the envy of any table.

Thanks, yeah it's green stuff supported by paperclip wires.

I put also put some Agrellan Earth over it to make it look cracked.

The flames are Vallejo Water Effects (the thick gel stuff used to create ripples and waves). Worked out well enough.

THEY ARE FINALLY HERE!

Nananananana nanananana Death Kniiiiiights...

I don't know if you did that on purpose, but the Death Knights were originally called Dark Knights in Runewars the board game and in Rune Age. And Batman is known as the Dark Knight. :D

(And great paint job, too!)

Shame the forums weren't at worlds for the painting competition. You'd have rocked it.

@Budgernaut I had no idea. That's hilarious :D

@Darthain There was a painting competion? Also no... I would never finish on time.

Remember kids: Always keep your color palettes simple.
