Nice Job.
You didn't want to wait around for the one with the ball gag?
Those are some sizable battles to be playing 2nd edition with
Looking good like that.
Honestly I'd just leave them black, trying to paint yellow stripes over black will send you mad.
Hazard stripes is another good option and yellow goes super nicely with red.
You will probably want to look at a previous post of theirs https://lemmy.world/post/7367015
This is a really cool concept, nicely executed too. The fact that GW went there you go have some kroot that'll do is a real middle finger to tau players.
Congrats to Doctor Spork and well done to everyone who entered, there is no competition with out you.
I look forward to seeing all the entries next year.
As Bob Ross would say 'Now I'm just going to paint a happy little Gargant over here'
Ooooooh, I had not spotted him. That's a nice model too, it even has a metal backpack!
Interesting, how were the castings?
I know someone who was moaning about the quality of the casting on their made to order metal Yarrick. They were going on about how the model was a mess compared to stuff from the 90s. I assumed it was because they make so few metal minis at GW these days.
Good call, just had a look. It seems that the only old models left (warp spiders and fire dragons) are now cast in resin.
I immediately went to check when I saw your original comment. I also should have known as I think I had the one on foot back when he was released as part of the original fellowship set.
You know what, I didn't think to look through the Middle Earth stuff.
I've had a look through the site, but may have missed something. Everything else seems to be plastic or resin (shudder). That said, I may have missed something.
Much drilling and pinning required I'm sure
The pages at the back of the Citadel Journal used to contain 'Dok Butcha's Klinik' where they used to suggest examples of the kinds of conversions you could make from the citadel miniature range.
