HELP!

Help desperately needed and fast.

Firstly im in a rush,

secondly hello to the new follwers, nice to have you with me!


Right the reason for the rush, The last pics I posted were from a comp, between then and now there was another comp (which I won!) there's another comp today at 1pm (1 hour and 10 mins away), but (and it's a BIG but), I'm not sure whether to put eyes on the model or not (its the new angry Blood angles chaplain, keep forgetting his name), those of you who have him will know that there are no eyes sculpted on. Aha, Lemartes (I remembered!).

So, he has no eyes, do I either leave the holes blank or put a white dot in there?


Any responses within the next 20-30 mins would be most appreciated, unlikely, but what the hell.

Cheers
E

Finished models

I finally have pics of some of the stuff from the comp (that I'll stop harping on about soon, honest). I've only got time to put up some of the pics, but hopefully they'll tide you over for a little while.

Without further ado, Old Death Company Assault marines:

I understand and agree that the bases and weathering a little rough, but they were done to as trict time limit and whilst working on several other things as well; aside from that, I think they're a pretty reasonable army standard, anybody agree?

Only thing that's changed since January is the base. I'll admit I'm starting to see why peole stress the importance of the base, it has set it off quite nicely, even if I do say so myself.


A question before I go, would you rather I update all of the stuff I do or should I stick to my best painted stuff?
I should warn you that the later would mean very few pics from me, as I've been on a speed painting bent since I did so dismally in terms of painting an army for the GT.


All C&C welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Phaarphenootie

As I saw an american kid on the tv once say.

Well I had pics of the painted dread, the marine squad I'm working on for the astro rumble or stumble 8 or 9 and one of the bikes that I'm working on, and most helpfully Kodak easyshare has eaten them, so my apologies but no pic updates tonight, I'm too tired.

I did however, meet the new store manager of my local GW today and got one of the last skull pass boxes. Now I'm not sure whether or not I mentioned it on here or not but I'm currently trying to do a goblin army on the cheap, to get me back into warhammer, what with the new ed and all (as I'm sure is fresh news to the internet community). Adding them to my first box (from when it was first released about 4-5 years ago) it makes about 2k with a few upgrades and conversions. How to do the fanatics cheaply is beyond me though, so I think I probably will have to get myself a box of them, though I might be able to stretch the usefulness of the box a bit.

I'm half way through a couple of conversions for them at the moment (pics were also eaten), I've cleaned 38 spearmen (2 others had already been used) and I got through 15 archers tonight, so not doing too badly but it's looking a little unlikely that I'll have a 2k army for the 10th.

Especially with the new manager planning monthly painting comps, which I am pretty my honour bound to compete in.


Good to get all that out of the system, well done for suffering through it (all 0 of you that read this far).


Oh and hello to the new members that've popped up since I last said it, hello! Welcome to the ramblings and infrequent pictorial updates :D


I think that's it, I will get the pics in the next couple of days.
