"Engaging Oh Yeah Directives"

Do you know if this was done for the competition where everyone had to paint one of these sculpts?

He looks like someone just knocked his flaggon over and is going to get a punch

Very nice, I look forward to seeing the both take to the battlefield.

Always happy to see Captain Tycho. Metal or Finecast?

Ah, they are including codices. I was thinking there are only 10 rulebooks and then thought well there were a few extras in 1st and 2nd edition I suppose and the chapter approved books for 3rd (but they didn't have great covers).

Nice Job.

You didn't want to wait around for the one with the ball gag?

Those are some sizable battles to be playing 2nd edition with

Rogue Trader was different in quite a few ways to what we know as 40k these days (or even 20years ago), a lot of the fun faded out as it was sanitised over the years. It's a real shame, but GW is raking it so I doubt they regret their decision.

The Rogue Trader books are full of Space Marines getting absolutely destroyed, 2nd ed onwards they are portrayed as the heroes fighting evil so that largely disappeared.

A other folks have mentioned it's Angron.

There were a bunch of sweet epic models for the demon primarchs and greater demons.

Well now I need to practice looking my Great Uncle Ian in the eye without chuckling.

No problem, glad you enjoyed it. His other videos are definitely worth a watch.

He describes it as basically snakes and ladders in the review, which in my experience is not too far off the truth.

I can see his LEG Over there 😜

Not sure about that. The Eldar Vyper is probably still around (one day games workshop will update to the Eldar range properly), but the main part of it is the 3rd edition Dark Eldar Raider which I think was replaced during 5th edition.

It certainly does, I love Ian Millers work. I think his fantasy art for Death on the Reik portrays wonderfully twisted version of fantasy as well.

😂 Oh well, guess I need to get better a proof reading

Stunning paint job

Oh, what a lovely loyalist tank!

Right?

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.

As Bob Ross would say 'Now I'm just going to paint a happy little Gargant over here'

😆

Looks pretty good from where I'm sitting

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.

That is some lovely work, especially the metal. It looks so shiny.

Much drilling and pinning required I'm sure

Glad you like it, always a pleasure to share.

Absolutely beautiful, I am very envious of your spiky balls.
