The guys at my local GW telling me about the time a lot of orders didn't arrive because someone literally highjacked the truck with the minis. And all I coud say was:
“That could have been me” with dreamy eyes. And they all laughed at me and said they were warning HQ about me.
But like... Imagine an entire 18wheeler full of minis 😭😩
How about if I painted the left pauldron of my Imperial Knight in a mediaeval manuscript style?
Obviously this is still very much WIP, but I think you'll get the idea! 😄 The plan is that the second half will show a fighting scene of a knight defeating a monster in melee, but I'll need to find a good (and goofy) reference for the monster first.
Also painting in this style helps with my fear of freehanding, because even if dimensions are a bit off, I can just say that it's part of the aesthetic 😆💁
A while ago I was shooting the shit with some Battletech oldheads and I mentioned I kinda wanted one of the old, slim metal Mad Dogs. Lo and behold, one was produced and I was told it'd be more use to me than it was moldering in a pile of shame. Hopefully I did it's old owner proud.
This is an *old* miniature. It's at least 23 years old based on the Ral Partha stamp, but its possibly as old as 30. That's old enough that I'm not sure whether or not the pewter in this is lead free ':v
Size comparison with a modern Mad Dog. Children grow up so fast these days
My first kitbash! Mathematically a deathmark plus a technomancer can only equal one thing: our favorite betrayal gremlin Lysikor!
It's a first attempt so it is definitely clumsy in places. But I'm having fun customizing. Maybe I'll steal some scarabs for more canopteks for the base.
Also if anyone can remember the Ithakas color scheme please save me, my memory is a leaky bucket. I know it's silver and beyond that who knows.
Although a lot of fanart makes him darker, almost black. So that's also an option.
