I've had the GUO sitting on my bench, basecoated (with one colour), for about five years. Last week I picked him up and finished him off. The plaguebearers I've just thrown in so he doesn't feel so lonely ;-)

Btw, what did you use for the trunks of those "palm trees" in the background? Thanks, the trunks are machine screws wrapped in masking tape. I think - it's been so long since I made them . I can just barely see a tape edge on one so that must have been what I did. I could disect one if you want .

That model is one of my favourites from the chaos range, and my favourite daemon Epic model. cvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv dx - er sorry, that was an input from one of the cats. Say helllo, Random. (is she into roman numerals?) Anyway - In fact I think it's the best GUO model ever made by GW in any range. Just like the glorious old pic from the first ed of Blood Bowl showing a GUO sitting in the stands eating pop-Khorne. Ah the old days. Thanks tchristney - nice work - and nice trees too _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?

Thanks everyone! To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with my photos. The colours look too washed out compared the the real thing. I guess that's a skill I'll have to work on. Nice to see the old grandfather! That model is one of my favourites from the chaos range, and my favourite daemon Epic model. I have one of the other GUO from the same era which I found in my bitz box (much of which I acquired when GW Vancouver moved from Gastown to Metrotown). That model has a big mouth right in the middle of his belly. Very cool. I must say, using screws for trees is very creative. I would never have thought of that!

The nice thing is that the screws and the penny bases adds some weight so the trees aren't easily knocked over during play. Cheap, too. They work out to around $0.15 each. If I were to do more tomorrow, I would probably try to use acrylic gel medium instead of masking tape
