You know the only way you can achieve that is through the taunting support of your peers, start taking some pics and get your PLOG up (oooer missus) it is always good to see your conversions. :thumbsup:

Right after being forced to leave early last night for a 'I dont have keys can you come home' incident.... I did lots of painting.

Fully painted army will be there on Thursday.

FACT!

Which now gives me time to paint extras.... AKA start the rest of my GT list... and look into some magnets :(

Title: Re: Project X - Ratties

you can once the aforementioned busted camera is sorted!... i.e its replacement is bought!.

you'll get a look on thursday at the least.
Title: Re: Project X - Ratties
Post by: maelzch on June 26, 2009, 12:53:33 pm
ah crud, looks like im gonna lose the plog-off!  I've still got 15 models to paint...

We shall see how this weekend goes......
Title: Re: Project X - Ratties
Post by: Mike on June 26, 2009, 02:23:13 pm
you may lose the plog off but you'll win the War... on account of the fact mine are out of the box, standard painting at best.  While yours are individually crafted, gorgeously painted and based.

and yes yes im well aware of the old 'screenshot or it didnt happen!!'

You'll just have to take my word for it that they're finished!!.

Can I get a 'Woot woot'?

Good effort that man, to best display your newly painted figures I find the light on the lower tables more conducive! Can I suggest we don't try to get too close to the top table at the charge as it won't show your figures in the best light.

i've got a rubbish picture taken on my phone from over a week ago when the ratties were all painted but only 70% based and i'd started the 'new' slaves to replace the alreday painted ones....

you'll see why I want to use a proper camera to record the finished product!!  camera phone is rubbish!

Borrowed a camera so I could take some proper shots of the finished models.

Core

Clanrats
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1799.jpg)

Giant Rats
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1796.jpg)

Rat Swarms
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1802.jpg)

PWG's (they look better in real life... camera doesnt pick up the inking etc)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1801.jpg)

Slaves pushing the Warpstone into battle (goaded on by Clanrats)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1808.jpg)

Special

Gutter Runners
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1807.jpg)

Jezzails & Ratling (ok ratling isnt special... but meh)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1803.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1804.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/vispilio/IMG_1806.jpg)

Characters

Engineer

Obviously the Clanrats etc are Albion... so by default everyone is in reverse... giving us Brown Engineers and eventually Black Seers!!

Post by: Mike on July 09, 2009, 01:36:27 pm
I wanted a quick recipe as I was churning them out... it also needed to be a light flesh as the fur is also light.

Tallarn Flesh
Flesh Wash
Drybrush Tallarn Flesh/Bleached Bone
