RE: Stream of Consciousness - Stuart - 06-07-2011
That Steampunk Dorothy is magnificent, and Guild of Harmony seem to have an impressive catalogue of miniatures. Phoenicia, Arcane Spellcaster looks amazing too.
RE: Stream of Consciousness - Gareth - 06-07-2011
I may have ordered Phoenica too. Maybe also the two Dark Elf models. Who knew I was a sucker for painting the women. Infact I may have been the insperation for Goldfinger, if I was around.

It's probably for the characterisation. Er, or something.
Some of the Raging Heroes miniatures might be of interest too, like Kapitan Ivanka
I might pick up a Phoenica too I think.

This is what I was talking about yesterday, for replicating your bases.

I know there was issues with places keeping it in stock, so it may be delayed. If you order some Stu throw me a pack on your order.
Nearly finished one of the Bonejack Rippers. Only the actual Bone and Necrotite to go on that. Learnt alot about blending on this model, quite a smoth transition on the plating. Other two Bonejacks have the plating basecoated, which is the hardest part, so tomorrow I should only have Denegra from the starter box to finish.
Other than that I reglued the Slayer, using Super Glue and a Spray Activator. Activator leaves a white glossy resedue on my LAva, so hoping some Red Glazes will fix it. Also put the base in some wet paint on my palette, so trying to edge the model different. I wasn't keen on Black / Purple, so trying two shades of Purple on the edge.

Gonna order some Forgotten Empires bases from Dragon Forge for my Menittes, just paint them a chalky bone colour. So yeah if Simon wants to tag along some bases (bearing in mind that they are based in the states), then that would be fine.

Very tempted to give that a go - I'll definitely grab one for you if I do.
RE: Stream of Consciousness - Luke the Squig - 06-07-2011
Thinking of doing some Blue Menoth, so long as that is legal
. If Menoth's Devil is blue or something like that then I'll just stick to the normal colour scheme, but if it's ok then I shall go forth. Could you guys tell me if Menoth do generally have something against the colour blue, as I know that Cygnar had something or other against green in the past.

At this rate you will have enough scenery to make Simons show a simple thing to put into practice. Infact if you want me to throw a few £ your way to help pay for all your expence let me know.Cheers for the offer, may be cheeky and take you up on it if get tight for materials.

There's nothing against you painting it that colour or any colour you like. The thing with cygnar was just a player thing, where one of the factions (Mercs, specifically Magnus the traitor) was painted the same green your dad used for his cygnar.
Just to go into the warmachine 'fluff' a bit, Menoth is the creator of man, He gave them the ability to build walls and defend themselves from the elements, technically there is no 'Devil' for menoth, there is the 'Devourer' which is effectively the god of chaos and nature which Menoth is opposed against, but I could go on about that all night lol.
Do your army in whatever colour you like, as long as you're happy with it
RE: Stream of Consciousness - Stuart - 07-07-2011
Cheers Vince, I may take you up on your offer of trying out the putty. I think I've got everything I need for my hot wire cutter now, but I'll see how it works out.
If you're after individual components for Space Marines then BitzBox might be worth a look.
