Lil' tubby



I now finally have one of all the greater demons. Snagged this guy from eBay for 15 bucks. He was missing the arm with the flail so I looted the conversion idea from a post on the 40k Facebook group using the long fingered hands from the plastic demon prince kit which I got for around 7-8 bucks (also eBay). In hindsight I should have trimmed the right arm down a lot but once I had clumped a huge amount of green stuff on the arm I figured I was committed. 

I primed him white and with a crazy number of washes I was able to crank him out in maybe 4 hours or so. I'll give him some grass, slime and blood after I seal him bit overall I am content with him.

Magnets, how do they work?


They let my new and improved Ironclad dread go for either anti tank (double melta gun/two hunter killers) or anti infantry (double heavy flamer) depending on what I feel like. Now I just need to get a drop pod for his ass...to Forgeworld or not to Forgeworld, that's the question. Well maybe not the question but definitely a question.

Behold, the second strangest stripper experience I've ever had

The first involves a German stripper and breast milk. Don't ask. 

I acquired this Wave Serpent in a trade and it was pretty clear it had been primed, painted and primed again. I didn't have a whole lot of hope for it honestly, but I figured I'd try to offer it up as a sacrifice to the Simple Green gods and see what came of it. After maybe 2-3 weeks lounging in SG, this is what I found. 

I've stripped a lot of models in my day and I've never seen anything quite like this. The top later of primer practically came off in sheets. After some peeling and toothbrush scrubbing (and feeling a little bit like a nerdy archaeologist), I discovered what appears to be a Biel-tan paint scheme. 

Apparently it took all the SG powers to get this far though, the green is still stuck on there pretty good, so back to the bin o green for another couple weeks it goes.

Bzzzzzzzz...Nurgle Prince, sally forth!



This guy is yet another one of my impulse buys that spawned an entire army but managed to never actually get finished, aka the Snikrot syndrome. He actually predates Snikrot by a couple of years, and my chaos marine Purge army is pretty massive at this point. With the changes of 7th Ed, this guy will hopefully be jumping like the Hulk towards my enemies and smashing them with his Black Mace. (Hooray jink shroud!)

He needs grass on the base and some green and yellow slime in various places after sealing and I may tinker with some weathering powders as well depending on how much motivation I can summon up, but other than that I declare him complete.

Bee boop boop beep whiz woob woob NO SCOUT FOR YOU

I've had no motivation to paint lately so I forced myself to crank these out in maybe fifteen minutes today. Should help my bikes/thunder fire cannons a bit I should think.
