Tomb Month 2- very late indeed...

Ok, so I allowed all the proxies (and some Dropzone) to get in the way, which meant my ToMB stuff is way past deadline, a forfeit is to be paid to WaaC, and I shall continue with Month 3, BUT I think it was worth the wait- with some new togs and a bit of kabuki Makeup, you can barely tell this guys dead...






I was given A games& Gears Katana freehand brush last week, and this guy has so much flat area I thought screw it, I;ll have a go, I learnt a lot (it is very precise, but the paint consistency needs to be perfect, mine was way too thick as you can see) and I actually liked it, will see how it works for tattoos at some point:) Those of who who have scrolled through the galleries to the right may have noticed that his paint and basing scheme matches my Ito Clan, that's because I intend to use the Ito to proxy those Ten Thunders who are yet to grace us with their presence:) I also finished my TTB kit Friekorps trapper- 




The idea behind her is that she managed to get seriously injured on a mission in the north, and the rail crew stumbled upon her as she lay dying, a little Mei Feng magic later and she back up on her feet, with some new toys and a debt of loyalty to Mei that means she's available for a little light sniper work whenever she is needed.

Month 3- Illuminated box set, they are tasty minions I hate to face, and as joint faction I'm looking forward to fielding them with my TT! also with the spare money (and a bit from last month) I picked up Itsunagi Ito, who is going to be my Lone Swordsman proxy:)
#Till Next Time!

All of the proxies!!

Finished some arcanist proxies this week- not for Tomb but they will possibly see some table time with Mei-

Scratchbuilt Arcane Emissary (wave 3)



I'm not 100% happy with this guy, I extended the torso to fit the extra set of arms in and it looks too long now, not as squat and powerful, also I still can't paint metallics to save my life, really need to sort that. happy with the sculpting in general though, especially the head. though it doesnt look great from head on.

I refer you to my earlier 'I can't paint metal' comments.
