Talk Fantasy Football

Introdution:
I enjoy painting, but I am abysmal at actually finishing anything that I start, or at maintaining momentum. It gets even worse when I'm looking at a full army, such as those I own for Hordes or 40k (yes, boo hiss GW). Like most people (I hope) I own far more unpainted than painted models. Thus, I'm starting up this blog. I'm hoping that this thing will motivate me - public shame for failure and so on.

The Blog:

So without further ado, here is my most recent WIP.



What are the general populace's view on his eyebrows? I've never had good experience with eyebrows on models - they always ruin things for me.

I also felt that this mighty model needed a nice display base. I'm working one up (looks a bit iffy at the moment, but I remain optimistic). It needs a title though. Suggestions?




Comments, complaints and general ridicule are encouraged.
I figured something like "the perils of a touchline commentator".

Love it, great model and I agree on eyebrows unless they are completly obvious I ignore them and refuse to paint them on. Dwarves fine but I think most models are expressive enough to get away with it. I can't imagine how silly trollbloods would look with bushy brows.

This is just to post because you got a Zug, isn't it?
I'll post mine up once a mate has painted it.

Not in the slightest

but his post totally was ;]

looking good, you got a human team already painted up to match him?

If you lose momentum and can't finish this Zug piece, feel free to give it to me in order to help your painted/unpainted model ratio

Nice mini, currently waiting on mine to arrive which will be placed nicely into my 5th ed human team.
Looking forward to seeing more NG keep it up.

Master Wang: I'll keep you in mind.

Grumbledook: I do indeed have a human team - I took them to both tourneys I attended, and am quite happy with them. I was thinking of trading them in for some elves (pro or wood) or some dwarves (chaos), but now, I think I shall be retaining them for a little while longer. Colour scheme is white and green.

Myki: Whats NG?

Please don't bring them back you got my dwarves of the pitch in like 5 turns and won the league by a country mile. Oh and that ogre was horrible AV10! He's not a tree you know :p

Just wondering if you have any updates, as i just got my mini today and am going to paint him in and the rest of my human team in Goonerz colours as i already have the GW new Zug and crew painted up in Spurs colours, and i would really like to see how your team turned out too .

MyKi

Yeah, sorry about the lack of updates - I haven't had much time for photographing recently. Zug in 95% per cent finished, as anyone who saw me at Spiky will be able to attest to. I'm back home tomorrow and should have some free time so painting/photographing could well be on the cards.

In the meantime, here's an old picture of my Human team (apologies for the poor focus - photoshop seems to have become unhappy with resizing things for me).


and a close up of helmut wulf

Very nice have you ever bought the complete team to mimms?
