getting more conversions done on my display board platform vehicles and testing out some airbrushing ideas. 

starting some color tests to figure out my color scheme and wrapping up some of the vehicle conversions. Starting on some troop transport vehicles which will be part of the display board.  

Assembling is underway. waiting on some more bits to come in but raided my bits bin for the next stage. I'm going to be doing some dynamic poses with my army to convey a sense of movement and chaotic charging through the wasteland. so vehicles will be posed bursting out of the ground and making leaping flame attacks.

I still need to build it and test it so I'm not sure how hard it is. the aberant+biophagus+abominant blob might be the scariest thing in it. but not sure exactly how they do in real life. 

Johannes is way ahead of me. I have an army in mind and got everything in queue for the tinkering phase. sort of a renegades, amazonian, heavy metal 2000, beyond thunderdome, fabulous bile thing. using gene cult rules. we have a plan for the display, I'll post some progress shots on that as it goes together. finishing up a different army this month so starting ofcc stuff in may and June.

So got some more painting done. got my five ogor type dudes (Rubrics) mostly done. also worked on my HQ's

started playing with some airbrush ideas and decided to do some fancythings on my HQ's and elites. First is lord kroak riding his Froggy Warpbeasty (Vortex Beast)

worked on my other slann guy (Exalted Sorc.)

still touching up their thrones but heres the idea. the murloc guy will be the Tzangor shaman.

this guys going to be Magnus. so i made sure to give him nipple horns. 

i still have a ton of detail work to do on him with all the conversion stuff but this is a good idea. He's basically a living temple. Next up is basing and wrapping up my own displayboard then i gotta start on a teammates. 

Started hammering through my queue. i am trying to get as much painting done so i can work on the boards. i will be building my display board and a teammates again. 

i worked on all my murloc tzaangors. i do them in batches about 5 at a time then work on the other units in between drying.

i tried a different pattern on the Aviarch. rather than the forrest frog i tried more of a fish pattern.

Finished some raptors that i will use as objective markers. still need to touch up and base and paint on numbers

Worked on my termies a little bit.

these dudes were origionally going to be riding the raptors but i decided it might look cooler to take an ogor aproach and have them be part raptor. like maybe the slann magics have been merging the space marines with their type.

Current squad i am working on. not done yet. infact i will go back over everything in the next couple months as i see things that bug me and as i base them. 

Hi,

this year i wanted to work on something i started poking at a little bit before last years OFCC. i wanted to do a kind of lizardman in 40k kind of army and aztec themed marines combined. I figure i like the idea that the Slann were actually another race created by the same old ones who created the orks and fought the C'tan/Necrons. Some might have survived because Deus Ex warp and maybe were able to convince some marines possibly from one of the destroyed legions to work with them or maybe they just built their own cause space frog magic...

Anyways here is what i started with. 

here are some color tests. i'm trying to go for a bright central american kind of color pallete and will try some animal prints and such. 

for the display board i'm doing like a jungle covered necron tomb

i'm trying to remember to post pics as i get things done but for now this is my sneak peak.

where do you buy tickets? 

Taking the helm of The Emporer's Neckbeards

Which forum should we post team pics and updates? just in the general 40k? or should we post in the tri cities outer rim forum

nevermind! moving stuff to the other forum i guess.

squats WIP

pics from june of last year to current. i had no clue gw was gonna come out with overlords but im glad they did cause i can make more fun stuff for this army without having to source so much from third parties. 

aww there's a cap on pic size

I like 1750-1850. 

left message. hopefully he sees it.

I need to please have the Treasurer contact me please. The Emporer's Neckbeards will not be doing the team event as we are having "the troubles". I sent a message through the store contact im not sure if that went to anyone. Basically some of us would like to switch to the Singles Open event and at least 2 of us will do doubles on friday but i need to reallocate the funds spent.
