@Saim-Dann- Thanks as always my friend. All I was thinking about is SS82’s Y’riel while I was painting… I just had to do something comparable to his excellent paint job. So yeah I really went all out on him. Even stripped his banner and spear and repainted them at one point just to get the best paint job I could. So thanks for noticing the extra effort bud.
Also thanks about Gav yeah it really is exciting talking to him. We talked quite a bit after recording as well. He’s a really friendly guy and I think the whole group of us have a pretty good chemistry so thanks for that.
Thanks about the World Eaters too… as for the Youtube Channel I’m DYING to get it started. A lot of people have been asking about it and its just really hard because the money is so tight right now. I’m actually in the process of moving so after that is said and done I’m gonna look at my money and try and get that camera. I’m gonna have a dedicated studio for all things 40k where I can paint, livestream, hobby hangout, podcast and film bat-reps. So while I’m missing the vital component (that being the camera) when I do get it, everything is gonna be good to go 100%. With Eldar, Dark Elder, Imperial Guard, Dark Angels, World Eaters and even a sub-army of Chaos Space Marines which I featured a long time ago on the blog… I will get there… I’m anticipating by late summer early fall if all goes well and things are going really good right now…. But trust me I’m dying to make it happen!!! Oh the agony…. So anyway thanks for your support Dan it really means a lot. Cheers Pointy Ears!
@Auric’s Pride- Thanks so much AP. As you know I love Y’riel and I had to him justice… I was really agonizing over the color choice and I was worried he either gonna read “too red” or “not red enough” with both red armor and a red cloak but I think I achieved a balance. So thanks for that my friend. Glad you liked the podcast too. We are gonna record this Sunday so get ready for the next one! Gonna be way more tabletop oriented this time so I hope you enjoy it.
Also about a Chaos Bat-Rep… it is coming! 3 more games in the current campaign and then Chaos will be Unleashed! Oh man its gonna be nuts. This army is gonna be a tough match-up especially for my brothers army. I’m really looking forward to unleashing this on some of my other opponents as well. Should be insane! Anyway thanks man always look forward to your feedback, thanks!
@Dog of War- Hey DoW thanks so much man, especially about the podcast. Hearing that our episodes helped keep people inspired through those big projects is really the highest compliment… because I know I’m always DYING looking for something to keep me going while doing commission work. So thanks man. Also I really appreciate the compliments on Y’riel and the World Eaters. So glad you like them. Thanks my man.
@Seeking One- Thanks so much SeekingOne. Coming from a hobby champion like yourself it really means a lot. As for the Demigryphs I did a simple Stegadon Scale, Nuln Wash, clean up with Stegadon, 50/50 mix of Stegadon/Sotek Green, then a straight Sotek final highlight. The fur is Celestra Grey with a Coeilia Greenshade wash, then cleaned up with Celestra. Finally the beaks are Ushbati, Agrax wash, Ushbati clean up, then Screaming Skull and Pallid Wych to finish it up.
Also thanks about the play testing man. Its been amazing… I can’t tell you how awesome the GW guys are. Also yep we received the rules WIP, and then the final version was altered after all the play testers gave their feedback. Seeing some of our suggestions implemented was amazing and which ideas they went for were equally awesome. Hopefully we can reveal some of that because there are some funny stories there. But there were a lot of other people involved besides ourselves, but our squad getting a personal thank you from the GW team at LVO during their seminar was pretty amazing. Sadly I can’t get into the time tables of when we got it and how long play testing went. But I can say it was a long process and we’ve all played dozens of games with the new dex. Its been painful because we had to keep the secret (and still keep the rules to ourselves) from our regular gaming buddies but hopefully the new dex will be released soon. We actually have no idea when the book is coming out, which is tough because we want to do our codex review… and normally we’d do predications/preparation podcasts but since we know whats in there we can’t!
Anyway hope that sheds some light on the matter. Anyway thanks again SeekingOne I always appreciate your feedback and I hope you are hyped for the new dex!
@Looshkin- lol… thanks Loosh. I know I love Y’riel to death! Before 6th dropped he and a unit of 10 Banshees were gonna be the centerpiece of the army… but then 6th dropped and that idea went out the window. So I’ve been waiting to get this guy on the board for a long time and after talking to Gav I decided my Lethal Weapon-esque buddy-cop adventures with Y’riel and the Visarch had to begin immediately. Also about the sculpt… I agree there is something really special about this model. The banner, the cloak, his eye patch. He’s basically an Eldar version of Captain Harlock if you are familiar with that old school 70’s anime (one of my faves). AKA he’s a total badass. But I gotta say the Visarch is probably my favorite individual Eldar mini. Warp Hunter + Void Raven as far as vehicles go… the Visarch in terms of characters/infantry… with Y’riel probably just behind him and the original RT Farseer in 3rd.
Also yes! The Visarch is MONSTROUS. He is absolutely huge. It makes me think of Maedhros… Eldest Son of Feanor from the Silmarillion who was noted for being unusually tall. Something which I think is really cool. It’d actually be neat if they incorporated that into the lore… the Visarch being this shocking tall, looming figure moving across the battlefield or through the Dark City. I love it!
Anyway thanks as always Loosh. I find your feedback absolutely invaluable so thanks as always my friend.
@Everybody- Well I just finished up Partninja’s commission a few days ago so I’m looking forward to sharing that with you once I get final approval. Also I have ANOTHER Y’nnari Triumvirate… my 6th. Actually pumped for it. I love painting those models and it gets me excited to eventually paint my own Y’ncarne and Y’vraine (in her formal gear and I need space cat… the lion cub of Asuryan!) I’ve got Eldrad and another Illic on the way too. So it’ll be an Eldar themed journey in terms of commissions with World Eaters on the side for my personal endeavors.
Anyway thank you guys so much for your awesome feedback… I’ve got some more cool developments to share with you guys. So stay tuned for that! Anyway guys take care and talk soon.
