The One Ring :: View topic - So, I've been a bit busy recently...

PS congrats again on the new wee one

And here I was thinking you left the site.

So that's where you've been! You've been bitten by the Mantic bug. Glad to see you're still alive and kicking....

Regarding the models: Wow! That is some really awesome work. I love them all.

That's cool that you got to meet Alessio. I miss when he used to be the Ringbearer...Those were halcyon days, to be sure.

I have to say that these guys look familiar. Kind of similar to Barrow-Wights, only cooler.

By the way WELCOME BACK! I don't believe I have ever conversed with you on here, but welcome back all the same. Great pics too. So you're going to be returning back to lotr projects now or still not done with Mantic?

I hate you . . . . . . . . . how the hell do you find time to paint all this with 3 wee ones and work ?? i only have 2 kids and have zero time and still only paint half as well as you !!! lol

PS congrats again on the new wee one

:shock:

We were just missing you and wishing you'd come back......
I see you still love the washes (and the blood/gore

) just as much, and you can still bang out a lot of table top quality minis very quickly...
It's good to have you pop in, hope to see you around some more!

Seconded!

Dude that all looks amazing! I love the blood on the zombies!

Should I be worried that, despite my absence, I'm now 2nd on the Top 10 posters list?

You beat Alessio? Not bad, given that he made a name for himself on the Italian tournament circuit.

Btw, I love the Scottish ogres. The ninja cracks me up...I didn't see them the first time I checked the thread.

Welcome back John, we missed you. And congrats on bairn #3 - I saw the post on Facebook.

That is an absolutely amazing display of models too, beautifully painted.

I'm certain you don't remember me, but that's fine. I still enjoyed your post's, even though I only got to read a few since I'm still fairly new here. Anyway, those are some awesome mini's you got there! I too love the blood, and the metallics are very nice too.
Just a quick question though, who's Alessio? I feel kinda stupid for asking this question, but oh well. Thanks!

Ptah, beat him at the LOTR GT easy enough

Very nice painting and models, the dwarves are far better than their studio painted ones.

Oh no... it's back!!

Good to see your mug... well, let's just say good to see your mini's again John!
Hehehe, welcome back

I already wondered what made you leave us... but, a common saying here is... they always come back. And see, it's proven once again!

See you around mate!

btw, great looking new armies again!!!

Hey John, is that pictorial evidence of you playing a game?!!! And you pop in at the local club now? Wow things really have changed. Congratulations on a healthy 3rd. You seem to procreate nearly as quickly as you paint. Hope you're enjoying the lovely age of 30.

Oh yeah awesome models.

Rob

Cheers Rob. Yes, I was forced to play. It's not like you can say no to a man who runs a company and wants you to showcase your painted minis at their Open Day...

Playing against Alessio was certainly nerve-wracking, beating him (in public) was good though. Sacrilege83 wrote: I have to say that these guys look familiar.

So you're going to be returning back to lotr projects now or still not done with Mantic? I'm not done with Mantic by a long shot, I have some very big, actually, HUGE plans still to work on. Although I haven't given up on LotR/WotR (far too many minis to go to waste) my local club is having a bit of a shake-up and LotR seems to be in favour, so I plan on painting up a few new forces. I also have a plan involving Mantic & LotR, but that is for another post, I'll have it up presently.

It must be nightshift, I seem to find an hour or so in the morning is good enough to get a bit done. Or it could be the 8hour sessions on my nights off. Or the lack of xbox time. And cheers Matty, she's settling in now. Still a bit wary of how fragile she seems compared to the other two terrors. theavenger001 wrote: :shock: We were just missing you and wishing you'd come back......

(Somebody pass the sick bag) Yes, when you build your rep on copious wash use, blood effects and spangly metallics, well, it is probably best to stick to the formula. Sticky Fingersss wrote: Dude that all looks amazing! I love the blood on the zombies! Cheers dude. Yeah, the blood. Gets a lot of comments. Especially from the missus when she sees the nick of my painting tile and thinks I've done myself a mischief. Got a few more things to show off, as well as some actual LotR models. Still, off to the shops then I'll get my Mantic/LotR project idea posted up. (Yes, still more projects on the go than there are hours in the day...) EDIT - Should I be worried that, despite my absence, I'm now 2nd on the Top 10 posters list?

You beat Alessio? Not bad, given that he made a name for himself on the Italian tournament circuit. Btw, I love the Scottish ogres. The ninja cracks me up...I didn't see them the first time I checked the thread.

Let's see: -You have time to paint up a storm of models -You have time to work (while potentially painting up a storm of models while there) -You have time to take care of your family (I don't know, I may need proof of a youtube video for this because everything is pointing towards neglect.. jk) -Considering you mentioned X-box, you must spend some time playing video games -And you have time to participate in this forum making you the second top poster My conclusion, that you are a Demi-god or you don't sleep and is actually a cyborg.

I have a lot more Ogres to work on, along with comedy background. I'm thinking a big ginger scraplauncher will fit right in.
