Myung; very impressive models, considering you painted so bloody many. Good job, uh, mate  :) (or does Reborn have the copyright on that?)

I'm feeling a lot of hate for citadel paints and look forward to replacing more with Vallejo
I did a little bit of painting with my Vallejo paints this morning before class. WOW. Whenever you read stuff on the net about Vallejo, you always think "Jeez, are these guys getting paid or what? nothing is that good" But it's true, they are. I'm really glad I went for model colour as well... they have some really great colours, like greeny-browns that are just perfect for doing weathered bone.

Sorry, I know you don't need to be told how great they are, I just needed to gush a little.  :D

As to the model... I am probably not the best person to comment, because I have always hated the tennis ball look of Scorpions (bright green, bright yellow). I think if you replaced the yellow with red-brown they would look better. Less like a cartoon.

EDIT; I have lost the USB cable for my partners camera, so I may not be able to post photographs (I will try and borrow one).

Man: Er... excuse me?
FMG: Yes? I am a doctor, you know.
Man: I was just wondering...
FMG: Get on with it. I'm a Doctor. My time is precious.
Man: Well, it's just...
FMG: My god, man, do you even know what that word means? Let me spell it out: D O C T OR. 6 years of medical school. A PhD.
Man: Look I really...
FMG: I'm the person who makes this whole hospital work...
Man; Look mate, you're  going to have to give me 50p for that paper or get out.

Heh.  I don't mind it myself and that's how I painted my old ones, so I'll probably keep them with the yellow, but thanks for the advice, they would look less cartoony, but goofy isn't too bad either.

Vallejo black of all things leaves my mouth watering.  So smooth.

Myung, you are a painting machine.  In fact, I find myself doubting your human-ness quite a lot with these painting challenges.  At least you've slowed down this month.

Here's my unit of 5 pistoliers, including musician. By now they've been base coated Chaos Black, and tomorrow I'll get to work on them proper. Note the custom plasticard movement tray.

lol guys. I really enjoy painting.

here is my secret though


go get a job where you have to deal with the public for 8 hours a day, but on top of that live in a very VERY well to do city where everyone thinks they are gods because they have millions and millions in the bank so they treat people waiting on them like trash.  so by the time you get home you need several hours of quiet you time to center yourself and waaahla you can paint a lot :p

I just bought another 40 IG off of ebay new on sprue! So yay more to do lol. but i plan on having all my IG rebuilt and repainted by the end of September. (I sold almost all of it last December to get new stuff) But I am on vacation in 7 days and am only going to be out doing stuff for 3 of the 9 nine days so i plan on painting bucket loads of models even though my vow is small this month.

Maybe you guys can help me out! I cannot make up my mind on which Macharius to get! should I get the regular one or the vanquisher one?

I'm sorry.  I have to change my vow.  I can't rush myself to complete a conversion so that I can paint it.

new vow:

5 drones: 4 gun and one markerlight
10 fire warriors

WOW. wow
If that was me, I would take one look at that pile, run out the door and into the cupboard for a half hour of foetal moaning. That's crazy.

BTW Myung, do you live with your parents, on your own or with a partner? I'm at University, so there is never really time "off", but even so I find it difficult to spend as much time as I would like painting because when I get home there a million and one things to be done.

lol I live alone. I spent many years paying down my debt so I have a rather large disposable income now for the last few years. not having a serious gf for the last 2 years has helped on that too lol. dates are cheap but when you gotta start buying the jewlery well look out.


I just like comming home from work and putting on my ipod and painting for a few hours.

Well, I finished my test Striking Scorpion, thought I'd put up an image.

I've kept the rim black as a suggestion from others.  It looks alright to me, I'm just not looking forward to re-doing the bases to my whole army...

My vow

2 black orc blockers

2 throwers

I have finished one so i know have my colour scheme!


Front:

I wanted to go for a very rough, worn-out and bloodied look. The uniform is scruffy and covered in blood, probably my best model yet. I know it does'nt show it very well but the model is highlighted and its not as blurry in real life obviously ^^

that looks great!   yeah a lot of people like black rims on their bases because it's a neutral color and helps differentiate (sp?) the mini from the table.  Eh I persoanlly, well like you said don't wanna repaint all my bases!  keep up the good work!

Can I still vow?  If so I have a carnifex that needs finishing off namely its bottom half I've done and assembled the top part barring eyes.  My paint schemes quite quick to but looks quite decent or so I think.

1 Carnifex (and as i'm feelin brave)
8 Hormagaunts
Non-orthopedically sprung life forms are reminded that matresses are the only sentient creatures that need floloping every day

This one is finished.  The other 4 needs their jetpacks to be highlighted and glued.  Their bases also needs to be painted.
