TrystanGST's WIP thread

[TrystanGST]

That's what the guy at the store was saying. I was going to buy the battleforce box, but he pointed me to the above as a similar price point, but much better core for the army. From what I've been reading so far in the codex, this army is going to be fun to play. Your wizards can just keep bringing your dead back each turn? Yes, thank you! LOL

Quick detour - woohoo!

Ta Cass!

Shit on me!! Didn't realise Cass giant stuff was quite so giant!!! Very cool.

O.O He's a titan! gorgeous work as always by Cass.

 

[roninjr]

Cassar is a mad genius! He's got mad skills with that Milliput! And man oh man is he fast! Yes, I'm a bit jealous.

Stay frosty

 

[cassar]

painting style for the bigatures i would personally suggest a painting style like this
http://www.coolminiornot.com/284703
i just think it lends itself to the "wide open spaces", steady Ronijr steady no slight on texas , of the big mini's especially as this has some room to manouvre *told you should have done more detailing now your going to have to paint the heck out of it* Lol

Roninjr new idea for your good ladies next "T" shirt "Big Phil does it real fast" lol

 

[TrystanGST]

Eek! Why'd you bring that here? I'm not a fan of the overshading, even if it is in style in some circles.

But dirtier.

 

[cassar]

EEEK MEPH!!!! MEPH!!! emergency trys needs an emergency infusion of blood...angel. Lol

i believe the other to be somewhat of a european style certainely *sniff back to the naughty corner sniff*

just had a thought...have you even picked a chapter?

 

[khavor]

What's this? A Cassar bigature actually getting painted? You could win the prize.

And good choice on the Vampire Counts army. You'll need more ghouls though...

 

[TrystanGST]

What - the Ultra and stylized U weren't enough for you!?

 

[cassar]

Lol i blame the medication oops........just gave myself a concusion face palm style. DOH!

 

[Aureo]

Sounds like Cassar is a little slow on the uptake today or maybe thinking every chapter wants to be Ultramarines! <3

So I wish I had something fascinating to update you all with, but this weekend I was on escort duty. My 4 year old nephew wanted me to go to Comic Con with him. So that was my weekend.

A few observations -

Games Day - lots of free games, painting demos, scenery demos, fun things to do. Not horribly crowded, lots of open space. The only time they were trying to separate you from your money was at the store, which was clearly marked.

Comic Con - nothing free, horribly crowded, the isles between stalls was no more than 4 feet wide, everything was geared around separating you from your cash. It was like a giant flea market. Totally bogus. The only bright side was seeing some of the actors/actresses there, but even that wasn't cool unless you wanted to fork over cash for pics or autographs. It was all about making money. Lame.

BUT -

Seeing my fellow 501st there was cool, even if I wasn't able to go in uniform haha. And my nephew got to meet Lou Ferrigno, which was awesome since he's such a Hulk fanatic.

 

[MightyChad]

Yep, that's a comic con. The only good thing at the local cons here is that artists will give you free sketches. And you can get feedback from some of the greats. But other than that, just a flea market.

 

[khavor]

GW, on the other hand, feel they've already separated you from most of your money already, so give you a one day holiday. ;D

 

[TrystanGST]

Yes. It's true. I don't know when to stop. I ordered Cang LOL.

Anyways, pics. I did this to keep my brush wet while I wait on feedback from Elly on the Terrorgeist.

I haven't painted the face yet, but I'm feeling something like Ace Frehely LOL

 

[Aureo]

Mmm....can't wait to see how she comes together. And Cang!?! I'm SOOO jealous! Must post WIP for him when you start!

I got to chat up the boys from Boondock Saints, AND the hot ass chick from buck rogers, who flirted with me and let me take a pic with her for free, AND kissed me on the cheek.
So I got my inner child's ego stroked, and got to meet my inner vigilante's heroes! All in the same day!
Also, did you see the tiny little booth with the 16" fairy/elf/troll things?
Very cool....

Starving artist needs sponsor, will paint for dragon.

Here's a challenge for you, buy one of my resin models, I'll use those funds to order the Forgeworld dragon and we'll have our own painting contest, dragon against dragon. haha!

Astrid the Chronicler from Reaper.

Since I'm not a huge fan of crowds, I'll take GD's relative emptiness any day. I'll give you the Boondock Saints though. That was pretty cool seeing them.

And Kath - I'd love to sponsor you, but I'm on a stirct no more minis diet until at least November LOL
