First of all WOW and thank you all for posting all the praise!!
However I'm still working on my apartment, after some dramatic situations and me being stubborn it's still not finished.

The grots are still boxed, I hope to be able to continue In January,...but i'm not making any promises.

we want paint! we want paint!
WAAAAAAGGGGHHHH PAINTJOB!

darn, and here I was all excited there would be an update on here.... *sighs*

I´m with spiderdude on this!

Of course you are, did not expect anything else

Grots that can shoot? I like it
Your vehicle conversions are truly impressive. I can't pick a favorite between the chimeras, medusas, or hydras. They are all brilliant.
Glad I have found this log at such a great point in its development. Looking forward to moar

THANKS!! I find it hard to pick a favorite as well, but I think I would have to say Hydras (don't tell the others), Hope to continue soon, Stay tuned for more.

Thanks Mediko,


So after almost a year I finally finished my apartment (only a few more things to take care of) and finally having internet meant it was time to dig up the grots again.
to be honest I had to be given a push..Balephon and Thalenchar (two friends of my) were discussing a 1000 pt paint challenge, 6 weeks to paint a thousand points...
I would only accept I Thalenchar would update his blog weekly with our painting progress, unfortunately for me he accepted that challenge...meaning I would have to start painting
My camera is still hiding in a box somewhere, and my photo studio is MIA as well.
So for now I can only provide you a pic taken with my mobile.
I slapped on some German grey and Heavy blue to see if I liked the combo and I must say I'm happy with the scheme,

sorry for the crappy pic but that's the best my mobile can do.
Hopefully more pics next week, now i'm off to find the studio and camera, and start painting some copper.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers

Thanks student!!


So today's officially the first day of our Farewell 5th edition painting challenge.
I took one of the Vet Sergeants and tried some battle damage, the pics don't justify the effect, but looking at the pics I could tell I need to sharpen the edges a bit.
though for someone who does not enjoy painting and rather avoid it at all times, I can't complain with the table top quality thus far (from at least 30cm distance that is )
I found my Camera, still no clue where my portable photo studio is, anyways on to the pics



Funny how that damage looks awesome from 30cm distance but with a close up looks like.....sjeit...

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,

So week 3 of the Farewell 5th edition and i'm behind!!! (not really a surprise to those who know me)

Diablo 3 saw it's release and well I guess most of you can guess what happened......

the last few days however I have been painting.
I've been weathering a chimera, (from a short distance this looks fantasic IMHO, close ups don't justify the overall look)

on to the pics

Top without turret


top with turret


right side



left side


and the back


So what do you think?
On the right I have painted the rivets boltgun on the left I haven't, not convinced yet.. Any suggestions?
I'm still going to work with pigments (dust and mud) still have to do the tracks and armour plates and various other bits.


C&C appreciated

Thanks for looking

Cheers,

Hey Bra'tac, great looking grotz, really lovin it. For your problem may I suggest some kind of rust around the rivets and keep the rivet head blue? Of course not to over do the rust

[jaggedjaw]

those pics are really nice. Do you think they'll ever have better rules for rebel grots or will we always use IG rules?
