  1. Thanks! Not as cool as the older logo on the previous hat but this will do 😉
  2. Hey all, I know they were made since I used to own one but over 5 years of rocking it in Hawaii it is thoroughly trashed. Wondering if anyone still has some lying around they would sell and ship me?
  3. Oh nice! And there's color options now!
  4. Bought one a few years back and I wear it with pride out here in Honolulu. However, it is stained and tattered after years of wear. Anyone still sitting on a fresh one of these? Got cash and will gladly pay for shipping!
  5. That would be amazing I'm actually thinking of buying the full kit and trying to part out everything but the heads at this point lol I would also be looking for the Helmeted head with the triple plume? I think it's from the empire general??
  6. Looking for 25-27 of the plumed heads from this box set and have only come across a few so far after lots of scouring. Wondering if any of you fantasy vets are sitting on a stash of them so I can get started on a project!
  7. Commission underway. @happycamper knows if he steals my money I'm getting @evil_bryan to lay down some smack till he gives me my money or equal dollar value of bacon paid as tribute. Looking forward to seeing this project!
  8. I have a Astraeus Super Heavy tank. Looking for assembly and tabletop paint job for it equivalent to my work. Magnetize options etc. Let me know if you need to see pictures of my quality (which I consider tabletop). Chapter is Ultramarines.
  9. Been extremely busy the last few weeks but been working on the weapon system for my 1st hornet. Thankfully Hornets get all the options but only one is ever taken so I think I'll pass on getting them all together and really just to do the pulse lasers. I really need to go back and clean it up probably end up stripping and sanding this piece as it looked fine before paint hit it now I notice all sorts of problems with it. However at arms length they aren't noticeable so it will definitely pass as table top for now. Secondly holy cow there's SOOOOO many gems on their weapons its ridiculous. I will end up going back and doing three bands of black on the white to break it up a little bit, most likely thin thick thin. Anyway I think it will really pop with the white and black against the blues and greens I already have going. Might be a bit for the next update but progress is being made slowly =(
  10. I need to do rings a few mm wide on the pulse lasers. What's the best way to achieve this??
  11. I felt the Blue to Green Fade of the Craftworld Mymeara would be something only an airbrush could handle with any efficiency. Wet blending every model in an army did not sound like a good investment of time if I'm trying to get this table ready sometime this decade. Unfortunately when I moved to Hawaii I unloaded almost every hobby related item I had to make the move, so I felt it was time to reinvest. I picked up the essentials: I decided to go with a trusty small desk unit and a nicer airbrush then what I owned prior. I picked up an Iwata HP-CS Plus for a great price and I love the action on this little guy! Directly to the right you can see the first subjects that will be getting their treatment. I felt I wanted to practice on larger scale models which I assumed would be goo practice while I'm learning the basics. Here is the first attempt: Overall I was pretty happy with the results. The color scheme I'm following is: Citadel Sotek Green - Highlighted with Citadel Temple Guard Blue Vallejo Jade Green - Highlighted with Citadel Syrabite Green The inside of the lens is done with Genestealer Purple Overall I was very happy with the way it turned out but I felt the highlighting was very weak. This clearly was a figment of my imgination as I cleaned up some of the details they began to show much more just by giving them contrast. I proceeded to give the model a varnish then touch up the gems with a similar color story to the cockpit and then compelted the black lining with a Nuln Oil. The result: At first I had decided to do the rimming on the glass as Vallejo Dead White to correspond to the coloring that I plan on making the weaponry. However I eventually settled on bringing it back to Sotek Green to not break the scheme on the main hull of the vehicle. Hopefully by Monday or so I'll have completed pictures for the weaponry and the new and improved cockpit!
  12. Quick question what format do pictures need to be to post? Won't let me post JPEGs from my phone =(
  13. Hello everyone, Just wanted a nice place to share pictures as I progress with this army from absolutely nothing into a full 1850 list (and more). I happened to headhunt a good deal for a massive lot of Games Workshop for my buddy who bought for $1,000. He ended up giving me what I wanted as a finder's fee. I said I would love to take a look at the Eldar that it came with and he obliged to give me anything I wanted. Not an exact count: 10 of every aspect (save spiders - I have plans below for these) 40 Guardians 10 Rangers 20 Storm Guardians 3 of each Vaul's 3 Serpents 2 NIB Fire Prism Kits (new version) 2 Falcon 2 NIB Wraith Guard Kits 1 of Every Special Character 1 NIB Skyrunner 1 Farseer 2 Warlock On top of this I have ordered: 3 Hornets 1 Wraithknight (plus Skathach Parts) 2 Warp Hunter Turrets I also have 20 Shadow Specters which I will be using counts as Warp Spiders, I figure being Mymeara I had to pay some homage to this.
  14. I was planning on it, unfortunately it just could not work out time wise for me this year. I'm going to see if I can get a group to go next year as I think team "Defend Hawaii" needs to focus on offense of the mainland!
  15. He and Amy just had a beautiful daughter about two months ago. I play with him regularly. As it stands I would assume he is going but he has yet to purchase a ticket.
