mad_rob Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 *** Firstly ... hope links to '40kOnline' forum is okay ... if not I'll update links to images *** Hey guys ... Well it is nearing Christmas and I have run out of ideas to add to the list for my self And my cousin has asked ... so the only thing I can of is a model That is literally as far as I have got As I have no idea which single miniautre model to suggest to my cousin to think about getting me So I am asking the masses here ... ... what minature have you enjoyed painting? ... which model do you think would be enjoyable to paint? I am asking not becuase I am lazy ... ... but becuase when ever I look on their site I gravitate towards the same armies/races These being mainly 40k Space Marines But I have enjoyed painting green skin in the past What with the Ork Bomber (Pilot that is - I didnt do a 'green skinned' bomber) And the Fantasy Orc Big Boss (One charging forward holding the flint axe) So any and all thoughts would be great guys and girls ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267348-gw-single-minature-models-to-add-to-christmas-list-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Non Power armour (which on this forum is HERESY! of the highest order, but hey, as a Thousand sons player, that is kind of my speciality ^_^ ) I'd recommend some Saurus, any saurus, even the bog standard guys are cool and nice, some of the skink characters as well, and they can have green parts as well. Numenorian model look good in Green as well. Striking scorpions or Battlefleet gothic ships are always good. For power armour, possibly Vulkun He'stan? Would get him myself, but Finecast and mark VII/VIII armour :/... Ahriman is an excellent sculpt that has stood the test of time better then any of the other chaos characters, so much so that the model I intended as an updated version may become another sorcerer as I've recently noticed I like the original a fair bit and would like to use him, and Forge worlds stuff always looks good, especially as Salamanders :P Finally, the ultimate heresy, non GW! :P The domaru butai of infinity look very good in green (and are in a type of power armour :P) , as do the romulan ships for Call to arms star fleet.

Durus Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I enjoyed painting the old metal scouts. Still some of my favourite models. Any other miniature you like.

mad_rob Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 @Durus I do have an Ork Painboy waiting to be painted ... been waiting a while I am hoping I don't eat AND drink too much over the Christmas period to be able to put brush to model ... ... but we shall see So an Ork would be nice ... but not a squad ... that is TOO much green lol @Rune Priest Ridcully Vulkan He'stan ... and like the Painboy still waiting to be painted But at least Vulkan has some paint in him ... alebit just black spray And I already have a squad of Striking Scorpions (My favourite Aspect warriors ... don't tell the Emperor mind) While working I was thinking of choosing a small list from the Fantasy Orc's and 40k Ork range As I loved painting the skin ... ... think it is because it is so alien to human skin if it gets too green, too bright it still looks okay Just not had time to look properly sadly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267348-gw-single-minature-models-to-add-to-christmas-list-help/#findComment-3255823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peredyne Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 If you enjoy the Space Marines, I would ask for the Legion Champion/Master of Signals set from Forgeworld. I'm at work, so I can't post a link. They aren't covered in legion-specific insignia so you can paint them however you want.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Masters of the chapter box, they are some of the best marine charecters and with the right paintjob and bits, can be good for any chapter or legion.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The warsmith and dark angels company master do look nice, and I have been thinking of getting one of the latter and removing the Dark angel icons and using him as a character, not sure what though.
