Like an intestines monster or some such. <br /><br />Those dino-birds, they too small to make for good mounts for human sized figs?

I'm delighted with Roy's gift and hope to get it into action real soon.<br /><br />I had to research the Grishaks myself, as I couldn't recall what they were when I found them, only that they were "Twilight Miniatures". Plenty more old projects to come... some from "W.S.D." if you remember them? ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-43209729998586330742018-02-28T11:45:25.615-08:002018-02-28T11:45:25.615-08:00I'm not sure prolific is the right word, as I ...I'm not sure prolific is the right word, as I need to paint approx 50 minis in the next month in order to achieve my Partially-Painted Challenge... I do have a few finished minis waiting in the wings however.<br /><br />More Chaos is coming, as I finish off my "Blightkings" and probably add some additional minis to Khorne too.

Those Twilight minis are great! It is a unique universe that doesn't use the usual fantasy stereotypes and is also fun to play. Great to see them and the wip looks great. Great mix and I am putting in a vote for more Chaos as I love your Burgle minis!

I love canon stuff like that, so it was absolutely perfect for me. Many thanks indeed for sending it to me - very much appreciated I assure you :-)<br /><br />I'm not the second "Citadel" Carroburg Crimson wash has blended in the highlights etc on my Axon, more completely overshadowed all the orange/red contrasts.

The Axon seems to have gone down well for such a simple sculpt - not one of finest "Black Tree Design" minis imho though.<br /><br />Roy is a tip top chap and his gift was very much appreciated. I love "STAW" so it really was the perfect pressie :-)<br /><br />I was actually thinking about "Jimland" when I was re-priming the Grishaks, as they strike me as potential primordial beasties for an expedition to encounter.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-44437016076782329762018-02-28T05:52:28.009-08:002018-02-28T05:52:28.009-08:00Cheers Bryan.

Don't be disheartened, plenty of Chaos yet to come to try and turn you to Nurgle ;-) I'm happy enough with the Axon, though its not quite as orangy-red as I'd like. However, if I ever bought more (unlikely as I'm sticking to "Warlord Games" for future buys) then I think en-mass they'd look very colourful indeed :-)<br /><br />The Grishaks were a great find, and I'm hoping to keep posting about such wonderful old buys in future as I sort through my collection. Pleasingly, they're still available to buy too, if I want to add to my flock :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-82260465587539374352018-02-28T05:49:18.263-08:002018-02-28T05:49:18.263-08:00Tbh Clint, as soon as you said that I immediately ...Tbh Clint, as soon as you said that I immediately thought of the Synthetti Men from "Judge Dredd".
