Front row, second from the right. The one with the mace...
I've got that one. Bought it when it was a new release - the first day it showed up at my FLGS. In fact, the shop owner never got to get it on the shelf. LOL It went straight from the box to my hand.
One of the best dwarves ever made, IMO.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.


I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

I agree one of the best. Loved the way Nick Lund sculpted them.

Points total updated in the first post. Imp is destroying us. His title should be changed to "Robo-painter." :wink:

Hopefully, (fingers crossed,) I'll have 5 more points before week's end.

I'm not a big fan of the Warmachine minis but those look great.

I kinda want one of those tiny Napoleons
Trading Guidelines:
1. Lower rating ships first - even if I am purchasing.
2. If you agree to buy something, you have 72hrs. in which to pay. If payment is not received in 72hrs., I will automatically post a Non-Payment/Backout thread.
3. Refs are left upon positive receipt of goods, NEVER beforehand!
4. I accept Paypal & USPS money orders and charge for shipping AT COST. I make no profit from it.
5. I trade NIB/new models at retail.

And Norse jumps to the lead! (a small lead, but still a lead)

How the hell did you paint all that stuff in two weeks!? In order for me to get that much done in two I would need two things to happen:

1. Two weeks vacation
2. Divorce

I can't believe your wife lets you paint that much. I am jealous. :'(

It was the technique that I used. It took me three "sick" days right after new years, to do most of it. Most of the painting was a primer then a wash... Then just a quick drybrush and pick out some details. I also watched 2 seasons of Star Trek TNG while I did it. I then took another night a week later to finish everything I missed. I was amazed how fast it came together.

I am currently working on 10 tanks that seem to be taking forever. Didn't get them all done for the Tourney but I did win so that was a bonus.

I honestly was sick just not laying in bed delirious sick.

Here's 5 more Skaven from me. A week later than I was hoping to have them done, but that's just normal for me. :(

Points totals have also been updated. imp has recovered his lead with authority. Good luck catching that Norse!

I also added in the names of staff who have said they will participate, but just haven&t put up any pictures yet. Hopefully it will help motivate them and it makes me feel a little bit less like I'm in last place. :lol:
