elmo Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks Phaeton :) Sorry Brothers but I have been distracted by an Imperial Guard forum advent so there will be a short delay while I knock out 3 Leman Russes and an armoured car for my meatsacks... Normal service will be resumed soon ;) Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Bobz calling me a slacker.... Now that is a turn up for the books I have been to Cell 42 many a time and it is fine as long as you get there just after the kettle has boiled and there is a fresh packet of chocolate Hobnobs opened ;) Rest assured Brothers - there is a lot of grey plastic which needs painting green/black/bone this year...

Great thanks ;) :P Still going, cannot rush these things :D Brother Elmo is a painting machine, he’s not in any danger of a ‘proper’ trip to the 42nd Chamber.

elmo Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Still another couple of weeks before I can start on the Fortress - the Leman Russes are done but the "counts as" Salamander will be about 2 weeks although I will try to get some of the little bits (bolters etc) done in between ;) I was on e-Bay today just to see what was going on you understand... unfortunately, due to my love of MkIII armour I ended up placing a bid on some thinking I had no chance... so I walked away to do something else. Went to check my emails later and... of course I ended up winning - I now have 30 tacticals in MKIII on the way to add to the others I already have. Expect to see a company of 30K DA in the next year or so MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing them painted up. The black of the HH 1st is glorious! Plus it is quick to paint :) It should be. But somehow, a squad of tacticals takes me about 2 weeks to complete. I probably am just a slow painter, or add too much detail :P and still they don't come out as nicely as yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Two weeks is fine, after all you can keep them forever. It's the persistence that really counts when army painting. Do the two weeks ten times for a Company and you're good to go. MithrilForge, Helycon and elmo 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the two weeks ten times for a Company and you're good to go. Oh, I agree, the issue is that I just have such a massive backlog, that it's going to take a million years to paint all of it. And when I see people painting to such a high standard as you fellows, it always feels a bit...underwhelming and I should be faster. Beside the fact that it's currently winter and the light just isn't great to paint, I stop painting for a bit. I dislike painting with artificial light, it just doesn't feel right.

elmo Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 We all have bad days where motivation is lacking or the mind is elsewhere... If the light is a problem try daylight bulbs as opposed to the standard ones and I put a Sci-fi related (not just 40K) audio book on in the background. I just listened to Iron Dragoons Terran Armor Corps and moved on to Warship (Black Fleet Trilogy Book 1) by Joshua Dalzelle. Both where good and Warship is a little like Battlefleet Gothic. I also bounce around my different armies to have a change of technique/colour pallet. Helycon and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to how you do the Fortress, Elmo, I've been admiring one for a long time. (I also still have a package here with your name on it.

The black of the HH 1st is glorious! Your words are so painfully true. I'm still working on some classic Predators and Dreadnought I snatched from a weak moment on Ebay. I really should start working on those. Maybe I should send them to Elmo, they'll recieve love over there. Helycon and elmo 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should send them to Elmo, they'll recieve love over there. If you really want to send them over I can add them to my painting backlog Speaking of which... In the painting corner next week will be a "counts as" Belial from Wargame Exclusive with some GW bits stuck on randomly... Apologies for the washed out photo as the light box and camera are not set up for naked grey resin and I did not want to mess around with the settings :( Interrogator Stobz, Lostrael, walter h and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
