Mold lines are living creatures to!! what did they ever do to deserve being mercilessly harvested for your pleasure >:(

Anyway, is it too late for me to still make a vow? If not then, i vow to get another 200-300 points of Menoth stuff done.

I'll be finishing month 2 stuff in the next couple of days (I know, too late but they still need to be finished).

For month three, I vow:
20 Kroot, including 2 shapers
Bringing peace to the universe,
one battle at a time.

Put down smoke onto the bronze base on the 6 dragons that I've gotten bronzed. Put down a green basecoat on my rangers camo bits.

The goal for tomorrow is to get the last of the bronze down on the weapons, plus work some on the ranger's camo.

Well I've finally finished the demouldlining and I'm ready to spray them :D. I've decided to convert one of them though to stand upright (straight legs aswell) with his gun/axe raised above his head!

What Pleasure ??? If it were upto me, they'd be honourary Viral-Strains for 2 reasons...

1) Like a virus they can ruin good things
2)You can never, ever get rid of them. it looks like they've been all filled away, 2 hours of painting later you apply an inkwash and      lo-behold, a mold line!

Anyway, great stuff there. I'm going to start my Menoth after the 'Crons, but I'm doing a reverse painting style. Red Armour with White Banding!

HEreby I fullfill my vow for this month. I was already working on painting one grey knight termie but this really motivated me to complete a small squad of 3.

So here we go.

The first termie i painted:







Second termie with sword and flamer:




And third termie I painted:



Group pose time!


Hope you like them. I never use them but I find them cool models. Perhaps I will participate in next month painting challenge.

I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357! Can you imagine? Of all the license plates in the state, what was the chance that i would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!" - Quote from Richard Feynman (physicist)

Thank you. I don't consider myself as a good painter or anything just average. Over here (holland at my place) there are ALOT of excellent painters thus its hard to keep up with them. I always keep critisizing myself and keep improving but it will take a long time before I claim myself to be a good painter.
