..../ then the big abominations /.....

Me neither, I find abomination somewhat abominable xD
I've got a screaming bell/plague furnace primed and waiting in line and the very same grey seer model waiting there too.
Oh and nice shopping... seems that nurgle is calling you!

How'd the notebook turn out for your lovely wife? We did discuss a Maenas WIP thread....sounds like you have projects....

I am not a very good builder of models, but I like putting them together when I get them. It's fun to see them "come to life". So I have boxes with assembled and (mostly primed) minis waiting for my attention.

Oh and nice shopping... seems that nurgle is calling you!

They're a lot of fun! The truly creepy ones don't really interest me, but I love the ones with character. They'll be a future project - don't want to over-Nurgle myself.

Oh! thanks for asking Arch, she just love it, and almost inmediatly took pictures of it and share it with her dancing friends so I am very happy ^^
She was needing it urgently so it just came out to be the perfect present in a certainly precise moment. On the other hand my plans are to start my WIP this very saturday ^^ will post a pic of the agenda for you there for sure.

Lol at "over-Nurgle myself" xD xD

You are all bad influences!

So I'm looking at my GW Giant and I find myself thinking: "He's got a lot of bare flesh on his torso. Do you know what would be cool? A couple of tattoos."

I blame all of you! What is this contemplating freehand nonsense?! At least I have tattoos to refer to with regards to colour and effect....

Hmph. *mutter* freehand *mutter*

Edit: I think my Giant needs a name, so I can refer to him more easily on here. Any suggestions? Cookies for the winning idea!

Thanks oistene - I found that one. Nicely done tutorial with clear advice. He's almost convinced me that it's not going to be as hard as I think....almost.

Huzzah! A Maenas WIP is imminent! :victory:

Please post a link to it here if you have a chance. I sometimes suffer from Swiss-cheese brain and I don't want to miss it.

Well, painting a tattoo like THAT would be hard, but getting a simpler one nice is in fact easy. I did it, I remember Digga liked it a lot.

I've got a couple of designs in mind, but that's a way off so I should have time to practice.

Need to finish Nurgle Lord first - or Digga will kill me...

Arad al Anesh.

..and why not

Arad al Anesh.

I'm looking for a name that will save me having to refer to him as "the GW giant" all the time. So while super coolhighfive, your suggestion does not lessen the complication.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Eugene" or "Clarence".

 

[oistene]

George.


Or Bob. Nothing easier.

Okay, some of you may think I'm odd (or more odd, depending on your initial impressions) asking for a name for my next project.

But I'm having fun and it'll help develop him as a character in my head. I'm looking for a relatively simple name (sorry Dragonsreach ).

Here's the box art so you can get an idea of what he looks like:

The suggestions so far are: Bob, Wors, Clarence, George and Eugene.

Any more suggestions or any preferences from the current list?

 

[wargamesculptor]

For a name are you building it as an orc giant, chaos giant or other ?

Pretty much the same guy as on the box art with a couple of accessories juggled.

 

[wargamesculptor]

How about Bigun for a name then

 

[Webmonkey]

Charles Emerson Winchester,.... the third,... or "chuck",.. for short

Lol. Hold that thought - it has possibilities and may be used in future.
