To give their ilk their due, it does make you realise life could be worse... It's like watching Hollyoaks... After five minutes you realise you are talented

How unpopular do you have to be to be excluded from the legion of unpopular nonces? The bar is so low it scrapes the barrel...

What I loved when I joined is seeing how little traction the disciples of Arch-Twat had managed... That Marshall bloke had less followers than me which took some doing

I might have indulged in the occasional "debate" myself on the site that was... I find being here cleansing my soul but part of me wants to challenge nobheads...

Not an overload of purple but hopefully fits the bill

I know nothing of the eldritch art that is airbrushing...

Hull... I am the kind of bloke who believes the labels on things... I don't have a garage or shed so it is definitely al fresco

Question... How can I prime minis in the cooler months? I don't have an airbrush, I don't enjoy brush priming yet I don't want to have a lull when I am getting into painting more often... Help?! #nerdlings #paintingminis

Love this... Real nostalgia hit as I remember painting this back in the days of yore. If I remember correctly, I made a real car crash of it but at the time it was beautiful in my eyes

Not only my first game, but the first thing I ever bought from GW on my 12th birthday... A friend taught me to highlight by drybrushing so I ended up with Sunburst Yellow Blood Angels just over a week later on Christmas day

Another mini painted up for an Inquisition kill team or Necromunda gang.
An upper spire doctor/scientist. Used the Genestealer cults Biophagus and just a head swap and change to the staff.

#warhammercommunity
Genestealer cults Biophagus converted with a headswap from a Cadian officer with bionic eye, and the staff in his hand altered to have an Imperial emblem, sort of a mark of office/standard. Painted with a white labcoat and grey pants. Vials/test tubes and flasks painted to appear as glass with a mixture of lurid colours in each one. Staff is brass with purple padded sections to grip.

Many thanks... Actual time with a brush was no more than around an hour ish. I did a drybrush after all basecoats of beige which made it look shocking but I stuck with my plan which seems to have worked

Many thanks... It was a bit of an accident as I decided to use Speedpaints and just went with what I felt could work... No idea what colours I used but it worked out in the end

Thanks for the feedback... The yellow one took about 2 hours including time for procrastinating... The other took the same time to basecoat. I am probably on the side of the yellow for the sole reason it reminds me of the bright, early 90's look

Cheers for the feedback, it genuinely means a lot... I agree that the yellow one lacks depth and I did miss doing certain things that I think would have made it better but I tied myself to Speedpaints for the mini. It reminds me of the 90's so is a bit dated when compared to current styles.
