Hello! and TT entry (Dasyatis Clone)

[Avelorn]

Hi!

I'm Sven, some of you might know me from cmon :) I thought this would be a good time to say hi. I'm quite happy that I managed to take a joined 2nd/3rd!

Unfortunately I finished the entry the night before deadline.. so my pictures were a bit poor from shooting without natural lighting. I took some new ones the day after (adding some green glazes too), so here they are. Annoyingly I have gotten a speck of dust on the sensor of my camera, I have cloned most of it out on the first pic. It looks crap, need to fix my camera.

It's for my growing Dirz army, painted/based in maybe 12-14h. I think there were some questions in the comments.. so here is the right place to ask them. :)

Thanks to those who voted for me, and all others too! ;)

Cheers, Sven

Congrats Sven on your win :)!

What sand are you using for your bases? It seems smaller than what I can get my hands on.

Any chance we could see a group pic of your Dirz army?

Cédric, I don't know where Sven has got his sand from, but a good place to get any type of basing material is Antenociti's Workshop. I would give you a link, but I'm too lazy ATM, and you only have to google it anyway! ;) Their stuff is excellent and not very expensive either! Very recommended.

Back on topic, I love this entry! In fact I seem to have voted on it! :D It's a perfect scheme for this type of creature. I love the oily looking metallics. I bet your Conf. army will look bloody fantastic once it's completed!

@Anders : thanks for reminding me about Antenociti's Workshop, I've got it bookmarked ;).

You're welcome! Try their Base Boxes some time! Incredible value for the money! Their sand is indeed very fine.

Thanks! :)

I got the sand from my mom. She got it surrounding some sort of decoration candle... So it might also be available from a gift-shop. Otherwise you could try Anders link :)

I'll second that!

I look forward to seeing this one in real life :)

Welcome to the Wyrd. :D

I've got no clue what the back story is on any of the Rackham stuff but I do like this miniature, very scary looking and it has a nice gritty feeling and a Rackham look I've come to associate with their studio releases. Good stuff.

Oh, you'd like this ;)! Imagine mad scientists trying to make perfect creatures with mutagenic substances, cross breeding, and dark powers.
