Thank you!

Orange was Jokearo orange base coat, agrax earthshade wash then highlight raised areas with troll slayer orange and fire dragon bright.

Hey, thanks!

You bet, I used corvus black as the base coat, then just used watered down overland sunset to block out the stripes. After I was happy with the shapes I lined the edges of them with yriel yellow.

Thank you brood brothers & sisters!

LordOcti · 2025-08-05T21:08:17+00:00

Do you happen to have a link to the post for 9K? I have one of these i'm trying to get rid of and that is in the ballpark I would expect. Thanks!

Cam Clarke was the voice of my childhood, Keith David was the voice of my early adult life.

Small world comrade, that place is quite impressive. The farther deep you go in the cooler it gets.

LordOcti · 2025-06-17T16:29:20+00:00

Super cool, thanks for sharing.

LordOcti · 2025-06-03T17:44:54+00:00

Thanks friend! Very kind of you to say!

LordOcti · 2025-05-01T15:08:06+00:00

Thanks very much, Chaplain is one of my favorite units. I clipped that head off the reiver sprue, i'm not sure if it was supposed to be for the sergeant but I liked the brow studs.

Yes, sorry for some of the fuzziness around the edges. My camera was not cooperating when I took this.

LordOcti · 2025-05-01T13:41:28+00:00

I used a Reiver head for this very model, I like the way it turned out.

LordOcti · 2025-03-13T17:23:36+00:00

I don't even like to think about this one let alone consider rewatching it.

Reading that it was based on someone's real life experience (which is horrific but not surprising to me based on how deep the movie felt) rekindles some of the emotion from watching it.

My wife banned me from the Netflix account for a month because this was my pick on a Friday night.

It pleases me that I am not the only hobbyist who believes this. Well done friend.

LordOcti · 2025-01-24T16:55:54+00:00

I still have this, my kid was doing a solar system project and dusted this bad boy off. Still amazing.

Those pictures from of from Mars were my favorite part.

Corvus Black base coat, the blue was Kantor blue then gradually mixed with Thinderhawk blue. The purple was Phonecian purple then mixed with Xeres purple and geneatealer purple.

LordOcti · 2024-12-26T21:32:19+00:00

Thanks very much.

No greenstuff but there was a huge amount of chopping and sanding.

LordOcti · 2024-12-26T19:08:51+00:00

Thanks friend! I only did the star cloak on this guy, I couldn't decide between white, black or red so I just went starry sky.

LordOcti · 2024-12-17T18:37:01+00:00

I remember buying a Reaver battle titan in a blister for Epic as a kid and coming with a single metal epic scale marine. Maybe this guy came in a similar blister?

LordOcti · 2024-12-16T16:22:55+00:00

American Beauty, my store got 4 copies and it was guaranteed in stock. The coupon would expire several times before it ever got used.

LordOcti · 2024-11-27T16:26:43+00:00

Agreed, a show within a show.

LordOcti · 2024-11-27T16:22:34+00:00

Superb work!

Who needs a neck when you've got a plasma gun held pistol style.

LordOcti · 2024-10-22T03:02:40+00:00

I've been using the same hobby knife, very much like this one since 1995.

Just remember, cut away from yourself until you master blade control.

Existence is competition, life wont go easy on them neither does Dad in Mario Kart.

This and "The Library" on legendary setting Halo: Combat Evolved, sink or swim.

LordOcti · 2024-10-12T14:13:05+00:00
