ESE I love that you give yourself a week to paint a pair of Talos, and will probably manage it with time to spare.

The lone Talos I've painted took me about 3 weeks...

Yeees, more of the really evil space elves, not just the kind-of-evil Craftworlders! Smile

Looking forward to it. A week to paint two Taloi? Let's go!

Right on ESE. Can't wait to see this unit painted. I see some Kabalite Warriors in the background too.. is working on anything special or just increasing the size of your army?

Just adding to the army.

Also, hoping to get these guys done by Weds. A listener of the podcast took us up on the $100 donation offer. I agreed to paint a Revenant Shocked

CCF is in my opinion one of the best formations in the game. I love that thing. Amazing anvil.

Oof. Thats awesome news but that model is a beast. I had to paint one in Lugannath colors.... what a nightmare. The GW yellows get more coverage than that stuff so every time a little black got on the orange it'd be a nightmare to fix. I hope you get an easier scheme than I did (Ulthwe anyone?)!

Also go easy on handling the model while painting cause the glue and putty can come undone due to the weight-load carried by the legs. Good luck buddy! Glad you guys got the dough to invest in equipment... and you proved Thor wrong!

Painted this guy for a Splintermind listener that gave the big baller $100 donation to the podcast!

BFG! <3

I've been a sucker for that game even though I have never played it, only been a spectator thus far.

Just getting into it myself after also being a spectator/playing a couple of games with other people's stuff.

Progress shot:

My opinion at the time was that BFG was a fantastic game as long nobody was playing the underpowered Orks or the overpowered Eldar.

I was a bit dubious about the rules in Armada (which include Dark Eldar), but I never really got to play much with them. I'd love to play some BFG again, if I could talk my current group into it.

Edited to talk about the actual models, because I got distracted thinking about playing BFG:

They look great so far!

I'm used to seeing them on regular flying bases. I'm sure yours will look good, but are you doing them this way for aesthetic or practical reasons (ie you didn't have any flying bases)?

The bases are getting painted separately lol!

More little tiny ships:

Great work on the bases! Top notch!

Those bases are awesome, thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys! Really happy with how they turned out. Couldn't decide between a blue an purple nebula effect or the orange so I asked my wife. For a non gamer/non artist she ALWAYS nails it when it comes to color choice!

This is the effect when the ships are mounted (although the lighting really washed everything out in this picture)

Beautiful stuff, the bases are a lovely touch indeed.

They look suitable alien with that colour scheme and have always been great models. Smile

Eldar and Orcs was ok.
Tyranids needed help and Necrons just broke the game.

Good call. The orange contrasts with the blue of the ships; going with blue and purple probably would have had the ships and bases blend into each other too much.

Pretty as those are, I believe we're due some Coven progress, no?

Funny how history repeats itself.

Loving those models bro o>o

Look down, back up, where are you? You're in the store with the rulebook your rulebook can't play like. What's in your hand? Look at me, I have it, it's an army with Inquisition and Daemons that you could only hope to have.
Look again, the army is now Ultramarines and Black Legion. Anything is possible when you play 7th edition so stop with 6th.
I'm riding a Carnifex.

I've only just realised this. This is my favourite thing. (completely off topic)
