Hi there everyone!

I’ve finally decided to post some pics of my models, and I hope you guys will like them!

I have to warn you, I suffer from a completely-made-up illness called GADD, or Gamer Attention Deficit Disorder, i.e. when it comes to paint, I have the attention span of a drunk toddler.

As you will see from the following pictures, I find it very difficult to focus on a single kind of model (or on a single army).

So, this topic is in part my call for help: how do you manage to paint full armies without getting distracted by different models, or a shiny red ball?

Anyway, here I go with the pictures (please forgive the quality, it’s the second time I post a picture online).

I think I hear you asking: “Why the weird basing? Are you drunk?”
The answer is yes, but that’s not the point.

In truth, that’s part of a project that I’m trying to complete with a friend of mine: every model (infantry included) bears a tiny magnet in its base, thus allowing it to be used singularly on a small metal board, for games of “Travel 40k”.

Of course, we prepared some standard epic bases, with steel paped on the bottom, that can be used to play epic with those same models.

Ok, my post is over, please be gentle with the comments, it’s my first time! :)

Mephiston made from a chaos lord is a great idea, very cool.

Thanks, you have a keen eye! :)

It was quite an easy convertion: I cut off the bayonet and the head, then added a space marine bare head and sculpted the hair, the hood and the skirt... It's not a perfect patch, since it has a bionic eye, but it's good enough for me!

Thank you everyone!

@Legion 4: The fighta-bommer-jetpack is a bit bigger than the GW models I think, but it looks the part!
