Cheers..
I can see why talus replaces the legs, the first bit of movement or sawing just shatters all the piston bits in the shins. :(
PLeased with the overall result(well I say result, he needs a bit more doing).. now to work on his arm weapons.

Looks really good!

Really not much going on, struggling to buy some cheap spooky chariots for my demons..want something like the tombkings ones (for street value rather than GW made up value) but keep getting sniped by pennies and can't be bothered to rush around.
All in storage, and now realised lost in storage..trying to find one of my 7 drop pods took me 3 hours and still no joy.

Wrote a thing to apologise to the wife (same as in thoughts of week thread but FB version was a bit tidier)

An ode to poeing off my wife

I glanced out to dark foreboding treeline through the rain,
the worn ravage of time showed, wrapping me in pain
as I lay back lamenting the absence of my dear lenore
Tuesday the most drab by any measure,
she would be out in those gales for hours my sweet treasure.

Bored and so wracked, I looked to that opiate druidium shore
For sweet dreams of my dear absent Lenore.
Tick tock, tick tock ,Twas the hour of the jackel and stoat
when fear descended clutching clutching grabbing by the throat.

Torn from those sweet dreams , by baleful, categorically, screams.
Leave me spirit,why wake me from my druidium shore,
where I might be with my sweet lenore
Quoth the spirit .... .... ....

But setting back my head heavily through my pillow,
I was awakened by what by then I believe to be an internal bellow
A tap tap tapping surely logic dictated from within my brain.
Quoth the sickness ... ... ...

But again my eyes shut tight,
a thundering bash bash bashing, upon my chambers window pane.
I rushed to the window to confront the demon,
but there was my sweetest leather jacketed cat soggy from the rain.

Bleary eyed weak and weary..I stared into the face of my absent lenore
.. as she climbed through my windowdoor like some lithe ethereal thing,
seemingly not caring that we were on the second floor
(reminiscing me back to that dark film entitled "the ring").

I awaited whatever apocalyptic beast was about to be unleashed,
or what treasures only in hell they can deliver and feast.
Quoth the hell cat...
You left your keys in the bloody front door [/smack.]
And my sweetest lenore didst leave for the couch.

I also bought some scenery from pets@home, they have a 3 for 2 offer on so this lot cost me £24 and is quite nice.

Nice!
Not sure quite what the goldfish attraction for swimming about in castle grey skull is though ... or is that for a morbid dog?

Wotcha peeps, long time no create other than words.
Combat tank at B+M £3.99
Footprint 7"s x 4"s , H2" (not inc turret)
Leman russ is a=4.5"x3", H2" (not inc turret)

also contains 12 of those tan vs green army men (in grey) Folds out into GI faux mobile command gun thing.
Guns come off really easily, all the other bits fit firmly into place (apart from the weirdo smoke launcher thing on the turret)

So my aim is to get 3 of these to use for guard leman russ allies..to use the guns for a space crusade psyfleman.
Is it an idea? What would I have to do to it to make you (as in you, not a GW tourney) accept it on a table? Also generally Wames gerpshop.
I'm thinking a chubbier gun turret (leman russ weapon designation fitting)

I was looking at airfix WW2stuff for ork dakkajets... but ebay has them coming up at howmuch??..also can't be sure about the whole 1/72 scale vs GW interpretation of 28mm.

Also rerelooking at throwing together the KOW undead for the chaos codex stuff, still.. (110 models 6 assembled)
Still looking at all my orks todo.. (250 models 90 painted most assembled.)
Still looking at all the skaven todo. (47 from isle of blood 41 not done, 20 plague monks done, 1 nurglitch done, several small bases done)
Now looking at finishing off some of the smurfs that got left behind in 5th ed..thats basically the lasplas.
(No one want to play apoc.. why can't I hold all these dreadnoughts :cry: )
Barely even lurking..

Default answer = beer.

I'd be happy with them, but then I do have tracked log cabins running around.
Ahhh, poop, I meant to find some scale stuff.

1/64 scale is pretty much accepted as 28mm, 1/72 would be a bit wee, a bit too wee, aye, that's too wee.

Had a quick look and this ... is a comparison between 1/72 brits and zulu infantry and a catchacatchcan.

Ummm no, 1/56th is the accepted scale for 28mm sizing.

1/72nd aircraft even biggies are too thin, you need 1/48th. My Orks when I get back to them will have a Typhoon and a F4U Corsair as their fighter support planes.

thanks for that peeps. (nice to see great minds think alike) I know nothing about comparative scales :oops:

Morning activity, using the last of my chaos black spray to undercoat 2 space crusade dreadnoughts
(taking me to 7 1/2 + 5 kans +2 defilers)..Yeah I'm thinking robots for 6th for next game..just need to find the weirdest way to do it..BA+Ork IA with defilers as deathcompany??
I started stripping the spru of the KOW stuff, then I remembered that I did that with the orks and didn't get any further..so thinkI'll do the dreads and some orks before doing KOW.

Then I stand corrected (don't listen to Mutley, he's a rugby onion fan which tells you a lot).

Cant you just break it down into manageable chunks?
For me, I do my bestest painting when I'm not bothered about getting a whole dollop done. Looking at the box of Stargods army has been a nightmare for a year +, but is now dwindling into scaryness rating 12.
Do something rather than trying to do everything, confucious and stuff.

This beast of a thread doesn't work well with small goals.

I figure I am breaking it up by saying "I'm gonna do 2 dreadnoughts then some orks " (either adding more to basic table ready ones, or getting others in to the 3 basic colours group).. I can't do one or 2 token models, I struggle with much less than production line..and doing anything more carefully /broken down than production lines produces the same results and ends in some gribbly guilt cycle about being the worst painted on the site :wink:

(Painting kind of kills the hobby for me, I know I know others find it near nirvana,I currently find higher state legally through cleaning fish tanks, ultimate passive zen garden)

Any big changes to the tanks, need bling/need a dimension sawing off? You'd suggest for the wider public?

It looks like a decent tank model to be. Certainly a decent enough starting point to kitbash to make it look more leman-russ-ish if you need to.
