*** 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

;)

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

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

:Troops:

 

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

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.

Would but that as it my cousin (Cactus from here) I don't expect him to buy me Forge World

Plus I have the ...

... Commander and Bearer to paint ...

... Astral Claws Master of the Forge ...

... Stormeagle

(Damn Games Day)

 

Plus Dark Vengeance

 

But I do like the look of the Champion and Master of Sigil do look good

@Rune Priest Ridcully

I already have the Master of the Chapters from they first came out ...... painted quite shoddily mindAnd are somewhere in my draw of models in my room

I have sent my cousin a list in email last nightAs I had a look around on their website while waiting for a CD to burnHere is what I sent him ...

 

Boss Snikrot - like painting green skin

Ammo Runts - like painting green skin

Thieving Grots - see above lol

Iron Warriors Warsmith - would convert him into Salamanders techmarine

Dark Angels Company Master - always liked this model

Savage Orc Shaman - again, the painting green skin lol

 

So at least I don't know what I'd be gettingAnd I also told him to use his own thoughts on model to pickNow I'll just need find time to paint what I end up gettingAnd post results here

Speaking of which, when I got time I'll post links/images of previous models I've painted

Bye for now guys
