The fact that I haven't taken pics is a sad tale...

The sheer real estate of the thing makes it hard to get much done in any one session. For the leg armor I'm doing black with green glowing runes.

I wasn't sure how this combination of bits would look after getting paint on them, but it's not looking terrible. I'm sure I'll adjust as time goes on but I wanted to get the carapace look defined, and after that the head was just too tempting a target.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/712091449612298808-8073140834293605785?l=nurgledread.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Howellnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712091449612298808.post-15346205279060791152009-06-26T06:35:00.001-07:002009-06-26T06:36:44.144-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTO3aMc-aI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/utwjdyv567w/s1600-h/primed4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTO3aMc-aI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/utwjdyv567w/s320/primed4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351629708542671266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTO0Eke8TI/AAAAAAAAAjI/NdR6zBVC0X8/s1600-h/primed3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTO0Eke8TI/AAAAAAAAAjI/NdR6zBVC0X8/s320/primed3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351629651198275890" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTOwCWABVI/AAAAAAAAAjA/s0r8x3-Wt38/s1600-h/primed2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTOwCWABVI/AAAAAAAAAjA/s0r8x3-Wt38/s320/primed2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351629581881181522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTOtEwFEnI/AAAAAAAAAi4/0Qiy2Z404uk/s1600-h/Primed1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ihIMghm0Ew/SkTOtEwFEnI/AAAAAAAAAi4/0Qiy2Z404uk/s320/Primed1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351629530987827826" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/712091449612298808-1534620527906079115?l=nurgledread.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Howellnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712091449612298808.post-7278583183996094222009-06-26T06:23:00.000-07:002009-06-26T06:34:55.031-07:00A friend of mine, with whom I hobby weekly, has asked me to paint his prized conversion... an over the top Nurgle Dreadnought.
