yeah, there's something weird about linking into that account.... try just refreshing the page after the error, or clicking into the address field anc hitting enter... faling that, just cut and paste the url and it'll work.... just doesn't seem to like the direct linking for some weird reason....

Edit: Just got rid of Lucien's mummy pics now they're up with the others.

I had a tough time deciding between the Chaos All-Star and the Skaven Thrower. I went to look at 'em before seeing who did what so I wouldn't be swayed by any personal allegiances

Gotta say, though, you all did a good job. And apparently most other people saw it like I did - those two figs are REALLY cool.

I added Lucien Swift's Mummy. My apologies for missing it earlier!

Thanks DW. I'm never going to be able to look at my Deathroller the same way again now.

I'm now spotting all the reasons why the paint job is far from high quality...
ah well. I didn't realise the email Anthony was waiting for was from me! (I only just got it.). I sent in two minis y'see...Anthony picked the Deathroller.
I think he was right. Judge for yourselves...

Thadrin,

have you made an entire team with Santa Klaus colour scheme ???

Sounds great, and really funny !

Please stop!, DW & DFC, your cracking me up..

I must admit that when I saw Thads Avatar I immediatly thought of Santa, but I just couldn't bring myself to take the mickey. Thads tell em both where to go!!

I expect Thads to make me pay dearly for that little quip over in A'dam!

Thads: Sorry mate! Just an initial reaction!

Thought you may have spotted that though. TF you didn't paint the beard white! Owe you a beer or three, and Anthony's right, the eyes make it!

But LF, Santa has a WHITE beard!

Yes, my team are painted up in Red and white, with the obligatory Chainmail (Boltgun metal with mithril silver drybrush). Jeez....I've lavished so much time on this team, and all I'm going to be able to see now is bloody Jingle bells!

I think I shall just have to quote that wise man of Rock, mr Weird Al Yankovic.

"Now, down in the workshops, all the elves were making toys
for the good gentile girls, and the good gentile boys.
When the boss busted in, nearly scared them half to death,
with a rifle in his hands, and cheap whisky on his breath.
From his beard to his boots he was covered in ammo,
like a big fat drunk disgruntled yuletide Rambo.
and he smiled as he said, with a twinkle in his eye.
"merry Christams to all - now you're all gonna die!"

Oh God....I've just realised....a couple of my Longbeards DO have white beards...

Bastards. (I'll take you up on that pint though

)

Damn you all! That's some really nice painting there guys, well done one and all.

Maybe by next time Karegon will have his new camera and I can get some decent pics up, my current team (The Darkside Cowboys) are my best paint jobs yet (4-5 hours per mini).

Is there going to be a 'next time'?

Your sense of humour makes you great thadrin. No offence meant when talking about Santa Klaus

It reminds me a smart talk with Neo about his smurf... erm, blue orcs...

"Gandalf, ouais, ouais, ouais !!!"

(private joke)

But this discussion has a real interest for me: I tried to understand how people make their colour scheme, and by what they're inspired... Blood Bowl, Sports, or from their own imagination ?
