Inspiration corner

[Daneish]

Hey guys,

I am really keen to start my painting going again and it is to a certain degree in that I am sitting down and doing maybe a coat at a time, but I need more!!!!!

So I am asking you all to help me in inspiration corner. I am thinking that this can be a place for people to showcase awesome models, songs or anecdotes that will help all of the community stay inspired and on track.

Thanks for your help

Love my unpainted models

Well I'm not 100% sure what you mean here is a picture of my cold one cavalry, I hope it helps!

I would just trawl some of the older threads (or your favourite current paint logs. I'm looking at you T'hinker'er) in this forum and the Paint Logs sub-forum. There's some gold hidden back there. I've got a few bookmarked at home, but here's a couple:

Everything from neveroddoreven's thread is amazing, but in particular:


Search for posts by wappellious, and you won't go wrong. eg:


From Lord Achcauhtli and the Wonders of Eugenics


Awesome Metallic Metal (not NMM) example from Stormshafts Lizardmen force "The Tempest"


From Ometochtli's Raving Rabbits:


From For the Old Ones:


EVERYTHING from A Girl's Purple Lizards, but these:


T'hinker'er's threadis full of sculpting awesomeness. I'm quite partial to
and


From Lord Tsunami's plog:


Edit:
How could I forget Craken's savage lizards?


And one of the most awesome projects I've seen on this site, strategiccommand's thunderlizard:


Arsenal's whole thread is great, but this simple BSB conversion using readily available bits is pretty neat.

Wow, nice post Mossy! Dat thunder lizard... holy smoking cold one egg.

This is exactly what I was after!! Feel very inspired by everyones work and am going to get a push on to finish my skrox unit. I mean its only been what 2 years hahahahaha. I blame having a baby and orcs and goblins getting a shinny army book.

Old Mossy I do like going through threads and have a few I avidly follow but thought it would be nice to have a place people could say "hey look what I done" and it would be full of varied and wonderful things all in one thread (your post does that and a half).

 

[Old Mossy]

Ha, ok. Well here's one gem from the treasure trove that is Lazoxoatl's Army thread:


A clever, and really good modular river piece fromn810's thread:

 

[FavoredoftheOldOnes]

Good posts Mossy. Some of these I had actually forgotten about (shame on me). Good to see that awesome thunder lizard again!

 

[Caprasauridae]

Awesome showcase, thanks for sharing. I'm rather new here, so there was lots of things I haven't seen before.

Mostly the plants and these bad boys. But it is all amazing.




I really wish I knew where he found these plants. Or even GW told us where they got their jungle plants pictured in our army book.

 

[Old Mossy]

That samurai slann is genious. Gives a good flavour to the army. Thanks for sharing the blog

 

[n810]

WOW

(Definitely check out the links as well)

 

[Arli]

That's amazing! The EOTG (or Skink Chief with the steg) is awesome.

Those plants look like they are aquarium plants. Not sure though.

 

[Qupakoco]

WOW

Agreed. That's amazing. He says it's a Skink Chief with the Stegadon Warspear. Excellent interpretation.

 

[Wistrel]

Those are GW's jungle plants, which is why they use them in the army book, I have a box of them

Sometimes you can find the exact same plastic plants in places that sell fake flowers,
usualy they cost around $5 (USD).
