>Previous Thread(s):

Wisconsin user with the initials RH, I shipped your present today and it should arrive on Saturday

Hawaii user, I am waiting for a few things to get here in the mail before I ship it off. Should be around the 15th that it arrives.


Anyone have tips for painting pin-ups?

I too have dispatched my package to an user in Wisconsin, initials SB, and it will get there when it get's there. Probably by the end of the week I'd think.

Now that aside, what to do what to do. I think I'm going to keep working on my hellhound, I tore out the hoses and redid them because my first attempt looked like ass.

...

>Unboxings soon
Can't wait!

...

Ventura, CA user, your package will arrive on Friday.

FedEx says I should get mine tomorrow, so you shouldn't have to wait long, drawfriend.

You ever draw any Kroot or Knarlocs?(pic related. Thank you again)

Anons, are you waiting until Christmas day to open your ss or as soon as you get it?
The suspense and excitement kills me every time I'm a big child I swear

I don't know if I will be able to wait.

I'm opening mine when I get it, and no one can stop me.

Be careful. Some packages might contain perishable items. The package I sent does and I wrote WARNING: CONTAINS PERISHABLES.

I will attempt to wait, but my willpower may not prove enough.

posting a wip and reminding you that bunnies die when you use GW texture paints.

I dunno, Martian Ironearth is pretty good, as long as you paint it in some way after placing it. Hell, even a wash helps.

Whats a good bulk alternative for the texture paints?

sand.

big bag of sand and some pva

bunnies also die when you don't use them, so what's your point?

I need ideas for bio-cannon and melee weapon colors to go along this color scheme please. I've been told black like in Hive Fleet Hydra, but I'm not sold on it. Too plain, even if I glossed it to look like obsidian.

Oh shit that's me!
Alaskanon np is on the way too! Post office said Monday it should be there

texture pastes? Vallejo sells big tubs of "Earth Textures" and "Ground Textures" materials.
200mL tubs are about $10.

Initials NP

I don’t like the sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating

And it gets everywhere

Got my ss today and will pick up the package tomorrow after my nightshift ends.
Also, I hope I won't be too late when sending my stuff to a spainanon tomorrow. I just gotta wait for my salary and christmas bonus, hopefully get it tomorrow, or at least on monday.

My nurgle contemptor Dreadnought I'm working on. Idk what I should give him though. PS sorry shit pic

Slightly different version

looking nice so far, is that grey modelling putty or have you just headed the plastic up and messed stuff up?

somebody's going to get some green stuff and ork nobz in the mail at an indeterminate time.

On a related note, when do we unpack and post the dragon dildos we received from secret santa?

maybe one of those nurglings hanging off that horn at the top?

Not yet, but I might give It a shot tomorrow!
Thanks, user!

When I open mine up it's going on top of the highest shelf with all my soccer trophies as a kid.

He's in really bad condition beforehand so I actually took a torch to his chest. What's really cool is that it gives the look of flesh actually

I was thinking about even having one dangling from his intestines

oh even better!

>user, what the hell is that thing?
>I-it was a gift from some friend!

This

NB in NY, your package is officially in the mail! Here’s the tracking number and delivery date if you see this.

I’ll be opening mine when I get it! If I have to suffer a dragon dildo unboxing, then I’m dragging you fucks down with me. I say that with utmost affection of course.

I can't wait to get my first dildo. I'll treasure it forever

Padstow user with initials MC your package should arrive soon (the 8th I think)

I may have also thrown in some cassette tapes because I have a ton of them.

Cameron of Guthrie, OK, you got 10 and a half pounds(!) (~4.76kg for non-burgers) of Christmas crap heading your way. Est. arrival is Saturday, but you can also track it with USPS Tracking # 9505 5114 6209 7340 1728 63.

Happy holidays, user.

Fargo user your package hit the mail today, projected for delivery on the 9th, but who knows - sent the tracking # to the secret santa email

wish i was Cameron

>mfw packed everything up last night
>forgot to bring it to mail today

TOMORROW FOR SURE OHIO, FEAR NOT

just a heads up for user JM in washington, still getting your package togther, but i will send it this weekend (Hopefully) coming from canada but i live close to the states so it is cheaper to send via USPS then canada post


on a side note, what kind of candy and snack do American anons like from Canada?

will probably be sending a small container of maple syrup as well

Oh man I'm jealous for the maple syrup.

*blocks your work table*

there's a distinct lack of tyranids on that table

*walks to another table*
alternatively *paints at home*

oh no, how dare they doing hobby related things? the sheer nerve of it.
>not just painting at home in maximum comfyness

which bait am I supposed to take, Im so conflicted

Kinda wish my gaming store had a christmas tree

If you can get Malteasers, send those. They're expensive as balls here (or rather, more expensive than balls should be).

>no bugs
>no nurgle
>not staying home so you can paint with no bra on
>used citadel brand dildo out where everyone can see it
>gut on the table blocking optimum wrist/elbow space for a stable grip

As a girl, I’m ashamed. Horrible display of hobbying.

Those are some sturdy stools

Report to your regimental commissar for your summary execution.
Also report to your adeptus mechanicus representitive engineseer for your unauthorised defilement of the machine.
Be advised that engineseer may see this as an affornt to the Adeptus Mechanicus and initiate the punishment him/herself.
In that case have no fear guardsman. You will continue to serve the imperium as a servitor.

how did you paint that

>user paints at a GWs
Wew lad, don't you have a basement or a hobby room? That's pretty sad for you.

got to be to cope with the weight of your average neckbeard

>that brush grips, just like eating chink food with chopsticks for a fist time

I'd probably hit on front left.
But I'm a skinny man with a non skinny problem. Why am I like this

I don't know what else to do with this sucker, I had the idea for this ruidementary AA mount at work today but I don't know how great it looks. I need to flesh out the post for it at the very least, but what does anyone thing. It look okay or eh? Furthermore, what crap can I tack onto this tank to make it look.. more finished? Aside from the tracks, I have those set aside.

Why not just be like me and paint at home in the cupboard under the stairs

Back middle is the superior choice. Wears glasses so she can better see what she's doing, firm yet gentle grip on the brush, hair tied back so it doesn't get in the way of painting.
10/10, would paint with.

Harry Potter is that you?

I'll be traveling out of town right before the big day, so I'll probably open mine close to, but not on, the day of. Would if I could, though.

Well, my parents are dead, but that might mean I'm batman

Is there like, a particularly cheap and/or good quality company that does shit like hobby knives and pin vises and clippers and stuff? I'm not buying GW shite, that's for sure

Do you play Night Lords user?

I never claimed to be a smart or rational man

Ork kits come with good sights for AA use.

Nope, Space yiffs, Deathwatch and orks

Army Painter if you want a brand, but most hobby stores have this stuff too and they're not really worse.

Quality varies greatly but if you want it dirt cheap go to aliexpress.
I buy most of the hobby stuff from there.
Except the hobby kife.
Buy olfa 10b. Standart package should come with replacement blades.

Wait, how big is your vagina if you have multiple GW stores in there.
Are you mother Earth?

I would hit all of themwith a thunderhammer

I just wish I could tell the difference someones who's into some "alt" music scene and someone who's unironically gonna use the word "problematic"

That dude hanging off the end is the same look I was going for with that gun mount. I just don't have any ork kits for such sights so I used bits of a vox caster. I've since knocked off the front post.

Are you planning to leave it open topped?

>getting that kind of stuff from a charity shop
Man, you guys that find that are lucky. The charity shops around here have, like, old clothes, toasters, busted fans, and maybe some pots and pans and crap.

but can we go *more* garish?

begone nurgle

Yeah. That way the various gubbins hoses pumps and the like can be seen.

No u

Now dunk it in highlighter yellow. I do like it though!

Ohio you say?

Hey user, what's the name of that cyprus paintbrush company? I wanna get me some of those brushes

Netherlands user, your package has been sent, I hope you like it!

Why yes, a little place by the name of Columbus, actually.

I've got loads to paint and I want to do it, but as soon as I sit down to do it I immediately either lose motivation or something comes up so I have to stop.
I hate this feel

>Columbus
user ... Give me that first letter of first name please.

No.

You abhorrent tease.

You can magnetise the top to open and close as you please .
Or you can make a diaroma for the model where it is getting refueled.
Going into combat with an open top where a single stray lasgun shot can explode your vehicle in a fireball is.. well to say it politely illogical.

As for the stubber at the back. You can add something like the platform behind the basilisk to it. That way a guardsman can actually stand on something to fire the stubber and keep ammo cans.

Do you play nids?

I don’t play, just paint for now. No nids yet since I’ve been working through the nurgle daemon box and some death guard but they’re on the list next. Wouldn’t want to make the stereotypes false now would I?

Oi Sam from Queensland, what the blood hell do you collect? I’m stumped for a present mate.

Not that I'm worried at this point, but what do if your SS doesn't deliver?
