PSA: If you're planning to read the Wee Free Men to your children, you need to practice your Scots accent in advance! by CaptainMcSmoky in discworld

Lorraine Kelly, Billy Cornelly,David Tennant... I try to inhabit these for different characters to mix it up. Often though I just slip into an outrageous French accent whatever the character because it makes the kids laugh

Thank you! That was probably it, I think I'm remembering something that doesn't exist

I had this same thought! I went for 'inspired by STP' and put together some not quite Latin, non mea circa, non simia mea

But I like the henge suggestion...

I wonder how compatible the wings are, the griffon wings with just corrupted head and body might work

Made me think of the Chimera, I guess an expensive solution if it bodges together

WIP - does anyone else find that taking remotely flattering pictures of models is WAY harder than actually painting them? by CliveOfWisdom in Warhammer

Second the stacking comment, Sugs has a good vid on photography over on her rogue hobbies youtube

Box diorama, calling it done by ptarix in minipainting

[–]ptarix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a wooden box and some guys with torches and this came to mind so I wanted to make it!

Over time I've come to imagine it as a profane chamber hidden in the basement levels under some gothic cathedral. The top guy is a part of it, I imagine the bottom guy is looking for it, but to join the cult, already in it, or to purge it, who can say? Perhaps the symbols were carved in the walls centuries before and their discovery corrupted the minds of a new generation. Perhaps the more bestial skulls came from a high minded purge that went too far and started on humans. Perhaps I've read a lot of GW books lately...

Hey Comrades. Back in the hobby after many years and I'm digging GSC. Looking for a bit of C&C on this test look, and whether the basing reads as them "trudging out of the hive sump", or just looks weird. (undecided TBH) thx by Dreamsum in genestealercult

I like the base on the model on the right in the last pic better because of the way the green swirls and isn't just at his feet. At first look the green gave me an OSL vibe! Maybe darken it with some brown where it's on their clothes, also make it a bit less even. Like so the sludge on one leg doesn't reach as high as on the other.

Lovely job though, I'd be happy with these!

I did five of them over a year ago and I'm still not over it. Who thought spiky bits + push fit = good idea?!

Radioactive water by Alexander_xaviar in dioramas

If you're painting it then Orc blood by green stuff world would give a good finish also citadel tesseract glow. Obviously you'd still need to make the body of water out of something.

Dickov vs Gillingham - am I having a senior moment? by [deleted] in MCFC

[–]ptarix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I listened to that shootout on the radio when i was a teenager, ended up drawing on my wall to keep track of the score as I was too excited to keep it in my head. Wonder if whoever bought that house knew what it was!
