OK, here's the final version, I couldn't decide on the hair, so just left it black, which seems appropriate, if I change my mind I'll let you know!

Wow!

Beyond this I struggle for words...

 

[Golgfag1]

I've lost my mojo with the barbarian types recently, you can only paint so much plaid, before it becomes a chore - so, have set them to one side for the moment; in an attempt to see - if, a change is has good as a rest - I've found myself something 'new' painting Teranids for Space Fleet curtersy of ebay (Asslessman's posts have been inspiring)- Sorry to anybody looking for similar recently - I promise this is just a fad which will soon be out of my system. my spend is currently running at about ten pence a point!

Opportunities to do anything at my painting station have recently been few and far between, so, here's a couple of pictures of my Tyranid ships for Space Fleet, still very much a work in progress, but we are getting there - slowly.

Enjoy

Wonderful beasties. Thanks for sharing.
I envy your varied selection, although - I am just trying to get through the rules and it is not an easy task - the rules for imperial and tyranid ships seem quite different.

No problem, almost completed all of the Tyranids I currently have in my collection, am attempting to obtain the last few, but their proving illusive. As for the rules - am, also trying the get my head around cataloging all the articles into some kind of order - quite a difference between the Tyranids & Imperials, with the cards for beasties and all the different ship types; that's why I've gone for the Eldar for my second force - only two types of ship , as ever, it'll be a case of playing the game to iron out the glitches.

Good luck

Happy New Year to you All,

Over the festive season I've re-sited my painting area in the 'family room' from the Conservatory, which I've found to be - too cold to paint! Which has meant that painting production has re-started, especially as I brought myself a few more pre-slotta Dark Elves with a few early slotta types thrown in, from a awfully nice chap by the name of Matthew in the Bristol area. nothings finished yet , but this definitely a move in the right direction

Enjoy Paul / Golgfag1

Work progresses slowly on the Cold-one chariots, but it does move on - I've gone for grab you by the eyes and shake kinda look , as these dark elves are followers of Slannesh and thus in my opinion - are extroverts & full of exuberance, thus bright colours are the order of the day, particularly amongst the nobles

As ever my picture do me no fravours

Enjoy

[Jeff McC]

Exuberance achieved. Looking good!

 

[Golgfag1]

Thanks Jeff,

As ever my photo's do me no fravours - but here are the Coldone chariots with their crew at long last.

Enjoy

Great seeing them in more vibrant colours than usual! I didn't realise how feathery the chariot shafts were, they look great painted up as parrots.

Two dark elf chariots! I hate you so much [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]

 

[Scalene]

I've got one dark elf chariot, but annoyingly both the cold ones are identical poses. On the brighter side, I did get it back in the day for thrupence ha'penny. I'll post a photo

Unfortunately shipping lots to the USA is cost prohibitive

 

[symphonicpoet]

Oh very nice! Makes me think it's time for an oldhammer chariot race.

Interesting idea , certainly a game for first thing Friday or Sunday morning - might have see if this could be a 'goer', anybody?

Finally pulled my finger out and put the finishing touches to the 'C' Series War Eagle & Dark Elf rider, one of Mr Ackland's Arcane Monstrosities TA5. This'll join my first one for the BFG if we can find any High Elves for the other side?

Paul / Golgfag1

 

[Golgfag1]

OK, with the chariots & eagles done I'm moving on to the Coldone Riders - first batch of musicians standard bearers & officer types to add to my existing collection - if I get all of my current collection of Coldone riders (60+) done by July ! I'll be happy.
