Looking good like that.

Honestly I’d just leave them black, trying to paint yellow stripes over black will send you mad.

Hazard stripes is another good option and yellow goes super nicely with red.

You will probably want to look at a previous post of theirs https://lemmy.world/post/7367015

Looks great, the couloir scheme pops!

I think that’s 40k, haha

This is a really cool concept, nicely executed too. The fact that GW went there you go have some kroot that’ll do is a real middle finger to tau players.

Congrats to Doctor Spork and well done to everyone who entered, there is no competition with out you.

I look forward to seeing all the entries next year.

Ooooooh, I had not spotted him. That’s a nice model too, it even has a metal backpack!

Interesting, how were the castings?

I know someone who was moaning about the quality of the casting on their made to order metal Yarrick. They were going on about how the model was a mess compared to stuff from the 90s. I assumed it was because they make so few metal minis at GW these days.

Good call, just had a look. It seems that the only old models left (warp spiders and fire dragons) are now cast in resin.

I immediately went to check when I saw your original comment. I also should have known as I think I had the one on foot back when he was released as part of the original fellowship set.

You know what, I didn’t think to look through the Middle Earth stuff.

Much drilling and pinning required I’m sure

I have no problem with the new models, sure some of it isn’t my kind of thing but that has always been the case.

For me one of the big draws of 40k was the empire in decline narrative. Ancient technology being kept alive by techno-priests, the fact that most of the technology is irreplaceable, the emperor who created these super humans is a corpse so this is what we have. It isn’t going to get better. Primaris marines sort of shit all over that.

I won’t be buying any, but fair play to folks who do. Hobbies are about what you enjoy, not what other folks will.

A sad day indeed, I still don’t understand why they didn’t just do a redesign instead of the whole Primaris thing.

The miniatures for the Horus Heresy are great, so updating old kits with new ones could have worked really well.

Lovley work. Does Zeke make all his cronies get haircuts to match his?

He looks good like that to me

The one on the right needs a goblin green base.
