A Tale of Two Lazy Gamers

[Prince Sairion]

And so it begins . . .

Me and my good bald friend Truthsayer have been collecting our largest armies for an eternity. Never have we had our forces fully painted.

Until now!

Neither of us will ever win a golden demon, so please don't jump on our backs about our painting, we just need encouragement to paint more!

I collect the Highest of Elves, Truthsayer anything green.

The aim is to take a huge (hopefully 10k,) fully painted army to Warhammer world next year (date pending,) and post the results for you guys on Warseer.

I have a couple of pics for now, Truthsayer will post his a bit later.

The - traffic - Wardens of the Tower of the Sun . . . of

Ha ha ha, and so it does begin.

Ive been collecting Orcs for quite a while now and never have I played with a fully painted (or non proxied) force of greenskins.. until now!

Like the Prince has said we are planning a massive jaunt to warhammer world in the coming future and up til that point need something to make us paint.

That is where Warseer comes in! If we can put up a log of our painted stuff and how we are getting on then we can keep on going..

With the imminent re-release of the scummy Asur the Prince is gonna have a lot of work to do! and Ive got loads of orcs and gobbo's to keep me painting for years!

stay tuned for updates..

Now then... wheres my camera?

[Prince Sairion]

And now what I need to paint . . .



I make it 4 characters, 73 spears, 50 archers, 15 SM, 12 PG, 7 shadow, 5 Bolt Throwers, an eagle, 13 reavers, a dragon, 8 DPs, 41 silver helms, 4 chariots.

I also have an advanced order of the new dragon, lion charit and 4 characters

Nice, I'll be following this with interest!

I, too, belong to the company of lazy gamers: I've been playing since 1995 and I painted my first tabletop quality (3 colours-not exactly based) army a year ago, for the sake of a tournament... So, I sympathise with you two lads, and sincerely hope you get these armies painted..

Prince Sairion,I really like you colour theme, it's more savage and realistic than all those blues and reds I see all around...good work, and nice quality (As far as I can discern from the picture).

[Dead orc]

Hahaha you already have more painting than I do for any of my numerous armies....

Should be a great log, keep it up

[Prince Sairion]

And a couple of photos a bit closer, shows why I call them the traffic wardens!





I'm going to get to work on the image front as all these links is a bit of a pain, bear with me, I'll try and get some colour on these here pages before long.

I'm just as technical as a slug.

[Avian]

Trying out something:



You just need to copy the image adress (right-click with the mouse) and use that adress, instead of the adress to the page, which cannot be displayed as an image.

[truthsayer]

So heres a pic of me and most of my army (looking very disconcerted as this is the first time ive laid everything out.. Oh dear!)



Here's me in Game form.. as the Prince says anyway



My converted Spider Riding Big Boss



And here's some more stuff that just needs assembling



there'll be more updates when we get some time, all comments gratefully received!!!

[Prince Sairion]

Mate you look priceless, both in goblin and human form.

Now all we need is interest!

Roll up folks, don't be shy, we need some serious encouragement to get all this done!

[Dead orc]

Only a little bit more to assemble then eh? Thats one massive army you got yourself there... I know your targets are 10k but how much does all of that clock in at?

Your converted spider boss is awesome.

[truthsayer]

I just had to get these last two pics on before hitting the sack!

A unit of the finest Big Uns with spears, glued together after watching the film "300".

Behold the "Spart-Uns!"






As always, comments are good!

[truthsayer]

Cheers Dead Orc, we worked it out after ranking them all up, it came to about 5500 with the few bits unassembled in the box and all the characters taken out. I reckon another 3000 in characters would just about make it right.

We had taken a few more pics of the spider riding big boss to show the side view but they came out all blurry, ill try and get some more up. in the mean-time enjoy the Spart-Uns!

[Saulot]

Prince Sairion: nice thread! very interested to see more! amazing colors on your High Elves! (the archers look GREAT!)

truthsayer: I love the Spart-Uns!

[Prince Sairion]

Thanks for the comments guys!

The colour scheme came together through not wanting blue and white, but also cos I'd never seen an orange army, thought what the hell!

Bit of a tall order though this, I'm plodding through 62 spears at present, wouldn't mind but I found another 11 once I'd started!

I totalled up my lot and with the advance order I make it roughly (with approx new points values) 8800pts. So I need more!

Hope to have more pics soon.

[Hespithe]

This looks great! Those elves are beautiful and the Spart-Uns are awesome as well. I love the way those spears have been positioned, and the dual banners rock!

[Prince Sairion]

So I'm now working on just 61 spears as ones gone awol . . .

For now heres a pic of my only (painted) bolt thrower



Whether it's the fear of not posting or just some incredible second wind I'm not sure but I'm painting far more at the moment than I have in the past!

Please if you are on this thread post any encouragement you can, it really spurs me on. And wakes Truthsayer up!

[Crube]

I'm really liking the colour scheme on those elves there Prince Sairion... Slightly different to the norm...

Keep it up (both of you)

[Toschenko]

Truthsayer, you'd better try to play Vampire Counts with those eyes

Impressive amount of stuff, I'd keep an eye to follow the progress. Prince Sairion, if I'd play HE I'd follow your painting scheme: lovely to the n-th power!

[truthsayer]

Truthsayer, you'd better try to play Vampire Counts with those eyes

whilst on the subject of vampire counts here's a pic of my army (wip) ;-)



Im currently working on my night goblin unit (49 strong with skarsnik at the head!)

If you don't continue to paint I'll eat a carrot... and I'm allergic!

I hope threats work as good as encouragement, right?
