I'm selling a fair bit of my old minis on eBay now and soon (Once I taker photos etc)
The ones that are currently listed are:

Imperial Guard Sentinel -...

BOOM! Thanks guy!

Sorry for gravedigging, but can anyone remind me what the website is that shows all the old OOP RT type GW figures...? :P
I think it had something like galaxy or something astrological in the URL :/...

I agree the quality is sometimes an issue, but on the whole I think the sculpts are pretty good. The painting is basic, but what's to be expected from a mass-produced pre-painted figure at that...

Don't ask me - I'm in exactly the same boat as you :P

Winton (Bournemouth)

Well I guess if it's merely for a diorama, you can use figures from any manufacturer, so try having a look at airfix civilians or Italieri or something. 1:35 should be ROUGHLY the right scale for...

I have found the rules to be INFINITELY simpler than any other tabletop game so far - other than Star trek attack wing or Star wars X-wing, which are based off a very similar set of rules anyway.
I...

This is one of very few miniature games I am actually confident about the rules!
I've always collected and painted Warhammer, Inquisitor, etc etc but the constant rule changes and things always...

Apparently I have THOUSANDS of points!
And I have completed some missions... Of something.

I looked at the FAQs but couldn't see any mention about these... What the Deuce are they??

Hah - this is a great little thread and you've got me thinking of that one little pro-tip that noone else has mentioned yet... Hmmm...
Something I discovered is that actually handing your figures...

Good morning CMoNers!
Contrary to popular belief I have neither been incarcerated, run away to join the Foreign legion or a Buddhist monastery in Tibet; I have merely been extremely busy!

With...

Umm ... I'm a bit late ...
Congratulations! :P

And wow - I didn't think I'd post as much as I had. :o

So I haven't been around for ... *Ahem* A while ...

For various reasons, but I haven't been painting or anything either, so I have no WIPs or anything to upload, but I pop into the forums every...

I wish to make it clear that I am not currently, nor have I ever yet been dead.

I am still very much alive, and not on the run from the FBI in Nebraska.

NOR am I living in a cave in Peru, or a...

Funeral was Wednesday and seemed to go well... Just in case anyone\'s interested, here\'s a picture I did for my mum.

Love this figure - and what you\'ve done so far :)

Particularly the embossed =I= on the warhammer :)

White afro please!

Disco stu brings pain to the enemies of the Emperor, and looks good doing it! Uh! :cool:

For your knees I presume? :P
Cos you don\'t need it otherwise :)

The hipwaders sound cool - like fly fisherman wear ... ?

Ta all.
As a community of artists I wonder if you could help with something we had an idea for...

As dad\'s being cremated, we wondered if it was possible to use the ash to make a charcoal pencil...

Well here it is people:

Sorry I\'ve not been around recently guys - my dad died Monday of Leukemia. If you wish to do anything please send a donation to the POOLE CANCER CENTRE. Thanks muchly -...

I presume so. Happy Bday Becca

Happy Bday fella.

Wow Bill - that things got possibly the greatest name of any animal ever. Cheers :beer:

And ta everyone else!

@Wiccan - if I steal the cookie does that make me bad? :twisted:

Thanks guys and gals.
I haven\'t been posting recently - a lot of family STUFF going on.

Thanks again. :beer:

In case you haven\'t noticed LIZ - IT\'S CHRISTMAS :P lol

I\'ll start when the tree and stuff is down and I can use the table for painting again.
In the mean while I\'ll just undercoat her :)
...

It\'s Wolverine! :D

lol

Have a look at examples in the gallery and PM people who have good weathering :)

still good - but somewhat angular - didn\'t you say it was for dark elves?

It should be a lot sleeker and refined - maybe you could carve the prow a little more?

Ooh - ANY of those late night text chat ads that come on one after another, with the same girls and voice, but a SLIIIIIGHTLY different number :cussing:

They must be making a helluva profit to...

@Squig - TECHNICALLY it\'s your average common or garden SHADOW :P

A Silhouette is when the light comes from BEHIND the object lol

LOVING that warehouse - although the loading area isn\'t near dirty enough :P

And the comms array is also looking good :)

I love the different shape of the witche\'s house :)

Looking great porkchop - but please be aware multiple posts are a bit annoying :P

You can attach more than one picture to a post - and edit previous posts if needs be :)

Also - that annoying hair gel advert (I can\'t remember the brand) with the incredibly annoying \"Music\"

A series of pretty-boys pretending to be in the army :P

EDIT - this one:...

With you there Hestan - Cobra has had some decent ads in their time - but those smug, badly drawn yuppies are immensely irritating.

And barbecue is NOT the only form of cooking that allows you to...

Lancers (Mk 2) or Paladin IMO :)

Hey! I like my wraith! :cool:

But then, I\'m biased :P

Plumbing joints?
Small lengths of pipe?

trying to keep things roughly symmetrical

By bumps - you mean the flat square areas on his thighs?

That WILL be thigh armour

hehe well how vague is \"Not right, need refining?\" lol

I\'m just after comments really - I\'m going for more of a goat-headed than minotaur-y

Cheers for the torso links though - I\'m sure Liz...

Help appreciated - particularly the head :)

I\'ve still got bulkin on the arms and fleshin areas of the torso to do, but any comments appreciated...
...

I\'d suggest reposting this in the 40k forum.

I have no idea myself btw :P

Gotta love those Necron Chiropractors :P

Agree - that second guardsman is much better than the first :)

But what\'s the orangey brown girder thing sticking out the back of his base?

You know, when I first saw all the plasticard on that rhino to begin with Ubes I had NO idea it\'d turn out as well as it has :D

VERRRRRY orky :D

Just saw this on deviant art and thought wow - what other amazing work have people seen on other sites?

http://th00.deviantart.com/fs38/150/i/2008/354/c/4/Styracosaurus_by_Mallimaakari.jpg
...

Bloody pointy-heads. I bet they only eat Brie lol

I USUALLY wear gloves, but not always. I tend to wash my hands afterwards. But then I go and inhale some asbestos to balance it all out :P

The minstrels are still there- on the right - coming out of the dreaded forest of Ewing after the pant-wetting encounter with the three-headed knight :D

D is Rowley Birkin QC

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0BKRZTalEys&feature=related lol

Can you give us more of a description of what a herald is? :)

Yea, I\'d say kitbash is the appropriate term - not normally a fan of WHFB, but I\'ll watch this thread :) Good luck

You know, I might resubmit the guardsman :P

the foliage is merely paper, glued to a bit of wire :)

Yeah, the photos were slightly rushed as that was the only sunshine we\'ve had in the past few days and I\'d been meaning to et them...

When I say \"latest\" - I actually mean - the latest I\'ve actually taken some photos of and submitted :P

These were finished a while ago.

http://www.coolminiornot.com/208494...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere\'s Johhny :twisted:

Although the scariest bit is when his wife reads his \"manuscript\"

:beer: Happy birthday dude :P

I hate you.

Joking.

But really I do.

Not really.

Bastard lol

Liking :) congrats :beer:

Is that an ork servo-skull I see? lol

And that tree was judged to be a particularly loyal servant of the Imperium was it? :)

I\'m gonna say it NEEDN\'T have happened, BUT, it probably would have eventually due to the king being barmy (If you count Syphilitic senility or whatever it was), and the parliament at the time...

31st? W00! :beer:
The day after my birthday! ;) :D :D

Awwww!

Gaaawd Bless us, every one :)

The pintle-mounted heavy stubber?

I actually like the GW warrior priests :o :D

So who\'s the main focus?
This spooked IG or the random marine?

Can you scan a sketch or something?

Or runs from thousands of pursuers, firing accurately enough to hit ear their feet or whizzing past them by inches, but never QUITE hitting them - never getting hit once by ricochets or stone chips...

OOPS! My bad Ubes! :redface:

There are plenty of twists n turns though, so that\'s only ONE small part of the plot :)

Enjoyez-vous

Anyone ever used an Obsidian blade?
(seriously)

Apparently they keep a much better sharpness than metal - but I imagine they might be quite expensive.

Dexter - good call.

I wonder if Sergeant Doakes (Sp?) really did die... NO - don\'t tell me!

:D

Well according to Dr. Schrodinger, the cat may be alive AND dead simultaneously :P lol

I s\'pose the mushroom cloud will be more obvious once it\'s painted :P

Yea - oddly, works fine with IE with no errors - one Lt. Ed. Sad girl coming my way :)

??? What do I do ??? :P

Now what did that remind me of ... ???

http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/commons/Kidnap.jpg

lol

I can\'t quite remember what my girlfriend calls me... It\'s written down somewhere on this restraining order... lol

Spikes seem ok, but is it just me or is the haft of his axe a little bent?

@SpringBok - I WOULD, if I hadn\'t already accepted Liz\' challenge - maybe afterwards if nobody has :P

First of all - do you want nice shiny new leather, almost like PVC?

Or old, worn, tatty, bomber-jacket leather?

The only thing I\'m wondering Liz if where your avatar wants her kiss - what with that pelvic thrust and all :innocent:

Oh come on ; We have PLENTY of people here with an aversion to coherency and relevance! :D

Phew - glad it\'s not just me - I made a post on the bug page :P

But as Matty says:

The sidebar is still there, just further down the page :D

Just in case, like me, you didn\'t spot redgreen\'s addition (Right at the end, but inside his quote):

\"hi thats a tufe one look in the phone book dos the town have a torist senter or non GW...

@Alex - and what ELSE did you find in there huh? Jimmy Hoffa? ;)

Chuck Norris never gets old cos he got old with a roundhouse to the face years ago.

My GOD! Way to make an intro! :beer:

A challenger appears!

That\'s exactly the example I meant too :)

no :P lol
I didn\'t mean bloodthirster then...

I meant the smaller ones with the big swords...

someone did a Bloodthirster a while ago like that (If that\'s what you mean) Do a search for it - I forget who it was :/

Is he actually solid? Is there a depression in the seat? Can the driver or any other passengers see him? Does he always sit in the same seat? What happens if you sit there?

(Maybe not - don\'t...

So what IS it?

It\'s a WHITE hole...

That\'s a LOT of orky welding! :P lol

Why can\'t I make things that quick? :(

3 times as big!?
What you using for a body a dustbin!?

Daylight bulbs are useful, but they are so bright they tend to cast very harsh shadows.

I\'m not sure how to overcome this without using multiple lights, but I only have the one daylight bulb,...

Ah, but that\'s only cos I don\'t have any :P

Anatomy for dummies? :P ;)

There are some GREAT old (and new) pieces.

I think one of my favourites is a really old white dwarf cover featuring dark angels.

That, or the one with the genestealer cult swarm :)

(seaches...

Hobbycraft and Maplin do them too :)

:bouncy: Whee! Imminent hilarious threadomancy popcorn! lol

IF or Mentors :)

Looks more Eldary :)
Nice shading though :D

Does \"Fahrenheit\" count? :)

Lol - all kids try that - but I never managed to set anything alight with them :P

You remember those old plastic guns you used to get that sparked and made a noise when you pulled the trigger?

I believe it was like the sparking wheel that you get on lighters that ignites the...

Stop throwing. Those bloody spears. At me!

mini-painters = mini-attention span.

Oooh look a squirrel! <wanders off>

Given that articles can be edited - would it be possible to mention CMoN in other articles?

Such as wargaming, miniatures, golden demon, etc etc etc?

Get used to the putty you\'re gonna be using first - I haven\'t tried procreate yet, so I can\'t give any advice on that, but I\'d suggest you first practice with plasticine or a putty which doesn\'t...

:cool: It\'s Grrrrrrrreat!

@Einion - That\'s the magazine - and hence why I said at the bottom I couldn\'t take credit for it

And as for talc - it probably has - but I can\'t remember :)

@DR/ Hestan - I\'m not even sure it would fold right if it were THAT thin tbh :/

Have to make sure those WIPs don\'t have any identifying features like a particularly recognisable mug or something :P

PG Tips? :D

Nice backpack and pose conversion, but 2 questions :P

1- What\'s he wearing on his head?

2- Why\'s he got a knife drawn if he\'s got a chainsword? :D

I think what he meant - as I have this problem...

Is if it is easier to come in from the side with a brush in order to do the eyes, or if it is better to simply go straight down.

The reason...

Ahhhh!!!
Rog! Well done - that DOES make sense now if he\'s talking about Elven script :P

If you aren\'t sore after working out, you\'re not working hard enough :P lol

RUBBISH! :flame:

Grumble grumble mutter :P

Joking :D GREAT work :D:beer:

I\'ve used pens and things before. So long as you put a little water down it shouldn\'t stick...
Or talc :D

Not sure. But it\'s the one currently on sale at Hobbycraft - the cover has a Russian WWII heavy tank on it...

What\'s Remy holding in his hands?

HAHA - you could\'ve sculpted some pins :D

Maybe some snotlings or Nurglings :P

Ahh yes - the talc should brush off, but once cured I would give it a quick rinse.

Got this from a modelling magazine I was skimming through in a shop...

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l257/DanBoldy/GSTalcTip1.jpg - cut off the greenstuff you want to use (Generally speaking,...

OK...
I think...



Hi there,
Symbols for Tau... Ahh... Let\'s see...
There are books on mystic symbols and there\'s Chinese chops(?) - that\'s what they call their words.
Just got to look...

Like the landing pad/tower the best.
What are you using for rivets/bolts?

@Peg - the plane itself is covering it :P

@Greenone - Hmm, might darken the background then - cheers

Nische :cool:

You hate me now don\'t you :P
OK, just so you don\'t lower your vote, here\'s a picture of said Jolie-lady:

:D

And here are my...

@Redgreen - Please remember if you need to add something to a post, you can press the EDIT button to add or change what you\'ve written.

This makes things a bit tidier :)

Nope - I\'m not sure where it would go... I\'m not used to the forums there :P

W000! :drunk:

Yeah... Fairly Angrogenous too isn\'t... It ???

Gender neutral :D

They\'re not Eldar though - just WHFB high Elves aren\'t they?

I\'ve got a bunch of old RT marines I got from the market to start ... :P

@LP - hehe At least Gavin can sing :D
But I prefer his wife... Tic TOCK! ;)

Just felt that it would be nice to be able to see the back too, as that gets neglected.

Especially if you give your marine a cape.

Anyway- I decided to draw a back version - might be useful to...

http://www.carnglaze.com/images/suzi1.jpg
Bet that chafes :P

Loving the comic relief dreadnought :D

Saw this over on B&C - nice job :)

Is that a euphemism ???

You know at one time, they also did Judge Dredd figures - based around block wars I believe :P

Love to get hold of the death judges :twisted:

The avatar of Simon!

The Hair-thirster!

Are these the old \"Oh no! stairs!\" 1980\'s daleks, or the floaty modern ones?

If it\'s the modern ones - They\'d win - if not... It depends on the enviroment :P

I\'m ready when Liz says :)
I thinking I might just prime prime it ready... That ok by you Liz?

Do them Tartan :D

Catachans are horribly proportioned, but you could always used parts...

Maybe mix em up with some Cadians?

EDIT: Thinking about it - I\'v got (about) half a box of Catachans unused if you fancy...

If you don\'t like black skin, why not do them African/Carribean toned?

It\'s not gonna have uber-gay opening music like \"Enterprise\" is it? :(

It\'s a dirty, filthy ho(e) :D

Hasn\'t the back of his head exploded?
Isn\'t that hair all part of the exit wound? :D

... She said ;)

Do a Sub-zero/Predator and have him holding the spine :P

Thirded - handle looks too small

I was wondering...
As Slaanesh was born (primarily) from the hedonism and excess of the Eldar, I was wandering if there was possibility of there being different Chaos powers other than the four most...

Squidders! Great call with the fast show!! :D:D:D lol :D:D:D

But I call and raise with:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xe2BOpPz_S0

The used to be called Marathon in the good old days :P lol

W0000! :D

:flip: Go Liz! Go Rog! Go Liz! Go Rog! :bouncy:

So what were some of these cheesy lines then...?

I can\'t help it - I\'m intrigued :P

PS. The poster does look suspiciously like Dawson\'s Creek/The OC/Beverly Hills...

Marines win! lol
http://fc59.deviantart.com/fs6/i/2005/070/f/9/Space_Marine_Illustration_by_dawnbest.jpg

Interesting voting :P

Might have to write a short crossover fan-fiction... :idea:

What scale?

For 28mm I tend to make a ball of putty, flatten it roughly disc-shaped, and then squash down the ends, leaving the tallest /thickest area to represent the knuckles.

Then I shape...

Phew only temporary :P

See ya soon guy!

Juat HAD to add this one

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HSnu6NqFWV4 lol

ooOOoo :cool:

Edit: Should the second one have video? I only get sound and a photo

Que? :cool:

How about:

\"Belly\'s gonna get yer!\" lol

Or

\"Accept the bounty of Grandfather Nurgle\"

Or something which SOUNDS nice, but with sinister undertones...

Yes.

NASA :P

40k is based on our galaxy, but with fictional sectors/zones/systems etc

I don\'t think however, there is a Definitive 40k galaxy that I\'ve ever seen SO far though...

What\'s wrong with wood? lol

Is that gold ALL NMM? If so, the area on the collar area looks VERY well done - the shoulder needs a bit of work, but the colours certainly look right.

As more comments - MORE photos :P

Incidentally, and completely unrelatedly; Did any of you guys in Canada see that meteorite last week?

The transporter - the oil scene...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DQb-hqfZ-2E :D

Liz has been published!

I just meant bare as in unadorned :)

Noone I know has RB yet :( - and I suck at GH! :P

Plus my friends only ever play bloody play Knights of Cydonia over... And over... And over... lol

You\'re welcome by the way :D

Getting there :D

What other torsos will you have?
I\'d like to see one just totally bare- there\'s enough room there to add any details you might want yourself after all :P

YAY!

I wondered what happened to it!! :P

You submitting it?

I\'m not sold on the copper/brass exhaust and the HK missile stands out a bit - but WOW the rest is totally kickass :P :beer:

Massive woman\'s feet are massive lol

And the 1st guy\'s forearms are wider than his waist.

Otherwise they look pretty good :)

You\'re a sculpting machine! :D I just can\'t get the...

As promised: http://www.photoworkshop.com/static/lightcage/index.html

You could also try downloading DAZ3d (free version)

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

For God\'s sake man - it\'s not like it\'s the sewerage system :P

Rubber gloves and some vics to go under ur nose :P

Porkchop sandwiches! :P

ROFLMAO :beer:

@The kill - but not everyone on the site plays :P

Nice stuff...

Did you sculpt the skull yourself too?

Where\'s that from?

Implicitly - Absolute, very much so

I second the Tyranid head idea! Sculpt one! W000! :beer:

Nice reds :)

Certainly interesting :P
Maybe we could all contribute a paragraph or something (As I don\'t know how to do pages on there)

I remember finding a really handy flash site online that showed different lighting conditions of a person\'s face... The bookmark\'s on the other PC though - I\'ll try and find it later

@Ainu - Chuck in a few chords and it might make Xmas #1!! :beer:

Absolutely old chap.

Yeah, they\'re good - just make sure you know which way round the poles are before you glue them in place - you don\'t want the pieces to repel each other! :P

Daisy had a feeling her disguise wasn\'t working... She\'d been rumbled!

BERK! WHERE\'S MY DINNER?!

Ohhh Globbits!

True. But as the whole piece is meant to be looted, I think I\'ll leave it...

I do have some bigger LEGO wheels that would probably do the job, but I think I\'ll leave them :)

I\'ll be...

Candyman!

Candyman!

Candym- ...
