"They've got paper loaded in their guns!"

So good. A couple of years ago I took my girlfriend into a Games Workshop and within about 2 seconds the guy in there was like "WHAT ARMY DO YOU COLLECT?!?!" I had to leave as it felt far too rapey.

this looks sooo good!

for fucks......

cringeworthy,i feel sorry for the child.
the suit is all out of proportion and just fucking sad mate. i think he has shit his pants coz he cant even walk properly in it.
and the powerglove is deformed so he has one big and one small hand. like a jeremy beadle marine


p.s.Zurab i posted that same trailer 1 or 2 pages back

To rik

ok heres the 2nd Ogryn of the 4 im doing.

i have based him/them on "infested" bases bought from darkartminiatures webstore.he sells some really cool and very reasonable priced resin bases.i cant be arsed with basing like i originally did on the first ogryn,the models take long enough and the base is the last thing to complete the model so
i much prefer painting onto an undercoated detailed base instead of having to glue on bits and pieces of sand/grass/stone/materials etc.
hats off to James' basing skills!
Jamess' bases inspired me to want my bases to be more cooler than the plain ones i did on previous efforts but without spending too much extra time so these maggot infested sci-fi bases had the desired effect.they are more interesting and give the model more character than the plain green/grey ones i did before.
i will continue to use resin/themed bases in future.

Again I really like your style Rik,

Great stuff, he looks like a real bruiser. Resin bases are cool, it would be good to have a whole army with the same themed base. There are loads of good sites around, I can't remember any of them at the moment though because I've got so out of touch with it.

A good tip for painting gore on weapons is to do a few splatters in a darker shade of red, by mixing a tiny bit of black in - looks more realistic.

Looks good Rik, reminds me of the sort of paint jobs you'd see in the mid-90s in White Dwarf. Proper bold colours.

thanks guys.
yeah Martin,i bought a bundle of random white dwarf mags off ebay and the majority of them were from the mid 90s (also got a few of the various imperial codex's) i use the various mags as inspiration for colour schemes because i find the more current imperial schemes to look slightly bland,and they have a plainer,darker tone of green army colours.

They are very nice Rik. I really like the creativity. Awesom job!
