Recovering Megalomaniac
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.

Before I go and buy her, it almost looks like she's topless. please tell me thats a trick of the light...I don't need a flasher, and I am not good enough sculpting to cover them.

It is. She's wearing a corset.

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

Good lord man you'll fad away to a shadow. Umm a big weighty shadow... You know painters die when the pile is exhausted? Cheapest form of insurance is always buy 3x what you've completed in the past month. Immortality - cheap at twice the price!

Haha that didn't last. Elly wanted to go to the GW store. I got more stuff.
1x Cairn Wraith
1x Tomb Banshee
1x Necromancer
1x Cockatrice (going to be an Abyssal Terror)

So much for that.

OK - so here's how it went down LOL

I went with Jeff (Elly) to our local GW store because he wanted to talk to them about stupid high elves.
I was looking for a vampire to lead my army until it's big enough to field Vlad.
Flipping thru the counts codex, I saw that there is a mount option called Abyssal Terror. Mannfred the Acolyte on that would be perfect.
But GW doesn't make an abyssal terror!
The codex is pretty vague about what they look like, so I started perusing the fantasy minis for a suitable option.
Enter the Cockatrice. It's a good start.
With a little work, it'll make a good terror I think. How about you?

Still needs some gap filling, green stuff smoothing and a few minor bits (bit, reins, strap for saddle, etc).

Ah I looked! I'm gonna turn to stone!

Seriously cool mini and great idea. Of course, as soon as you finish it, GW is going to come out with one that you'll have to buy. ;) But I think it will look great!

Now when you going to get a Chimera? That's one on my wish list. Why is everyone painting it blue?

Haha I was wondering where you've been hiding. I told him to bug you about setting a date for a get together so we can perfect our Arnolds, er, paint.

haha, true enough. I'm kind of on baby watch until shelly's sister pops in the next week or so here. After that, my schedule will be much more open.

I really hope I can get the Lord of Change wings to fit in with the original sculpt so they look less tacked on. Time to get creative.

On a side note - Cang should be shipping today or tomorrow. Mwahahaha
