The Red Sorcerers of Prospero: Exiles of Osiris

[Brother Pheidias]

Amazing rendition of Ahriman, the poor deluded sod :D

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

Inspiring stuff, so glad you won the auction and did him justice! The standard head does indeed look a lot better with some paint on it! I'll look forward to seeing what you do with that Raven Guard head!

[Borky]

That is an absolutely beautiful job you've done there! Inspiring stuff!

 

Have you got a guide on that white at all? It's stunning!

[Atia]

He is sooooo sexy buddy :) <3

 

Some day I would like to feature your armies as guest-showcase on BattleBunnies :P *keeps dreaming*

[Xenaur]

After seeing your painted rendition of that model I will only be slightly disappointed if he does indeed turn out to be ahriman 

[JJD]

Your basically doing GWs advertising for them.

[Reyner]

That is great, love the red :) now I want one... 

[The Pounder]

Breathtaking.

Can't get over how cool this whole project is.

I've always had a weakness for Thousand sons

and yours are exactly how I'd imagine them.

[The Yak]

I try to avoid the HH plogs as not to be tempted to start another project. I saw your ahriman in the rumours thread and had to check out your work. Absolutely amazing from 1st page to last. Damn you man I think you have just broken my HH resistance!!!

Welp, you're done for now. Might as well just give up and board the train. Resistance is futile and all that.

Part of the ship, part of the crew, part of the ship, part of the crew, part of the ship, part of the crew. :D

Do you have a Lost Legion resistance that needs breaking too?

[our_baz]

I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan of the model when I saw it fully assembled (Hersey I know). Seeing it painted though, I'm in love...

[Corswain]

He looks great. I actually think I like the alternate head more though, not sure why.

 

In any case, great job and awesome colour scheme.

[SkimaskMohawk]

I definitely think the alt head looks better too. More contrast, more detail, better size

[Athrawes]

I'm considering pulling the pictures off facebook. I've so far received about a dozen unkind messages, including some pretty offensive slurs about why I would pay so much money for a model and leave mold lines on it in the assembled pictures. 

 

Seriously?

 

I blue Tac a pre release model together because I'm excited to show the hobby community what it looks like when assembled, and the first thing that people feel the need to comment about is the mold lines? I received a dozen messages to that effect on facebook and multiple comments about it here and on Heresy30k, not to mention every rumor site that showcased the photo's I took.

 

Is that really what people are most passionate about when they see a new model?

 

From Facebook:

 

Jesus, what a retard Pays a :cuss ton of money and cant even :cussing clean it properly. Figures that some :cuss kid would buy this model with his parents money

 

 

If you're going to steal a model, at least remove the :cussing mold lines

 

and my favorite

 

 

:cuss you how you :cussing get this cant even build it rite

 

Most times this hobby community is wonderful, but sometimes it is utterly exhausting.

Just ignore them. People get jealous and there's nothing more impotent than a keyboard warrior.

 

Enjoy the miniature and the painting, don't worry about the negativity

[Soldier of Dorn]

It's the Internet. More to the point, it's Facebook. People are :cusss on the Internet and especially, I find, on Facebook.

 

In regards the forums, I find that mold lines are both one of the easiest things to point out and one of the things people miss most often. I think that's why people point it out so often.

 

Like Dindrenzi said, just try to ignore it. Other people's negativity should never affect you to any great degree.

 

Just my opinion, of course.

Dude welcome to the Internet.

I know alot of people are amazed with all your work and it would be a loss to the community if you let it get to you.

 

Honestly man your talented and you've proven your one of the best hobbyists around, so :cuss them off and know Kurama's got your back! Irl they'd keep their mouths shut especially if I got your back!

[The Yak]

Just put up a picture of your painted Ahriman, Osiris & Deidara and let their negativity & jealousy be washed away by the power of Hobby class & passion personified!!!

[Lord_Ikka]

Bah. People who do that sort of thing are just jealous that they don't have the model, or the skills to paint it like you do. Don't let them get you down!

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

Seriously mate, ignore these keyboard warriors, they are being deliberately obtuse and obnoxious to get a rise out of you.

 

Sadly the internet gives such cretins a voice. It is easy to take cheap shots at just about anything, but as I always say, if you point a finger at someone there is always 3 more pointing back at you! Negativity like that is usually born from jealousy. I can assure you there are far more people that were happy to see you post the pre release. I think a lot of people are miffed at the thought there may not be a FW Ahriman, so they are just venting bile at any target.

 

Don't feed the troll!

It's 2016, it's best never to read the comments.

[MikhalLeNoir]

We still love you, even if you don´t remove the mold lines from a stolen figure paid with your parents money, kiddy.^^

 

 

 

No, just ignore the flamers they just envy you. And I bet, that MOST of the bunch would have bought the figure if they had the chance.
