Thoughts?

I was actually just looking at that yesterday. The WE have some absolutely incredible painters, there's another who sculpts each and every model almost from scratch then paints them superbly (he estimates 10 hours spent per CORE model!)

And for general WE goodness (the guy you linked is on there too): http://www.asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5927

I've got no words for those WE... I'll watch his youtube videos sometime (just spent one and a half hours looking through and reading that thread!!)

Ok here's another gem, one I've been following for the past week or so. Quite different in style as I'm sure you'll notice if you have a look! http://warmongers.ziggyqubert.com/wmbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7467&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Oh my holy fudge... that guy is freaking ridiculous... It would be fairly funny to see that army go up against a few steggos and a carnasaur.. All that terror causing vs low leadership... should be interesting

 

[Dumbledore]

Apparently panic isn't too bad (he addressed that very question)... plus we may have terror but he can fire hundreds of shots every turn. It kind of balances, especially considering large target. I'm sure he has a unit layout to minimize panic-snowballing and allow for a fair few tricks. Just because it's not warhammer as we know it doesn't mean their isn't any subtlety in it is what I guess I mean.

hmmm most definitely would be an interesting army to fight... Which part did he make a statement about panic? I'd like to read what he says about it. And where is his army list posted at?

 

[strewart]

21 pages of thread? I looked at the first page (that champion tower is the work of a mad man in a good way ) and looked at the last page. Was there anywhere a photo was taken of the whole army together? Looks impressive.

 

[Dumbledore]

On most pages between the first and the last there are loads of them all laid out, organized by model type, as he paints them. There's one pic somewhere of them 7/10 painted on a battlefield against some dwarves with them literally taking up half of the table, being a sea of gnoblars.

 

[strewart]

Thanks for piointing that out. Wow, makes me feel ashamed for not even managing to get my HE army finished. That is insane, the pics of the entire army arrayed. Who has that kinda time?!?

 

[Dumbledore]

The thing is he did them in a short time limit. If you look at the first post he's painted all of that in under two months. He organised his free time incredibly efficiently and just worked very hard.

 

[dictator]

I wonder if he has a life besides painting? I know I couldn't get away with that with my wife in the room.

 

[Crono]

any other gems around?

 

[lupercal]

wow i thought 50 gnoblars was a pain i think i would contemplate suicide if faced with painting that
