Hey Squeek,
ReplyDeleteAgain a valuable post. Though I knew various of these articles, some were actually new to me, and having them listed makes it very easy to look up. (Thanks!).
I mentioned around a week ago that I was in the process of my own Doomwheel, and its finally finished. As your article had a significant impact on the miniature, I would love to hear your honest opinion bout it. your critics are more than welcome, and your opinion is to me deffinitely valuable.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shendar,
ReplyDeleteI'd read some of these too, but not all of them - and I just kept to the main ones here (there are older ones too I think).
Also, I followed your link to your blog on the UnderEmpire...
...CONGRATS on the Doomwheel - if looks absolutely fantastic! Like everyone else who posted, I love the banner. Simply amazing freehand!
:-)
Please keep updating, as I will definitely be going back...
(btw, thanks for mentioning The Chattering Horde - really appreciated - although you have totally outdone my own Doomwheel!)
Hey mate,
ReplyDeleteI dont know what went wrong. I send you a comment about 1 week ago with my appreciations of your feeback and comments, but apparently that didn´t upload right on the blog. Up till then been regularly checking if there was a new update, but only now noticed that my comment was never posted. (So I'll say again, thanks a lot for your painting scheme!).
Apart from that, deffinitely looking forward to a new post!
Shendar
Hi Shendar!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what went wrong either. Blogger has a spam folder for comments and I checked there but nothing in there...
I don't know why your post didn't get put up!
:-(
Anyway, welcome back!
:-)
With work and other things I don't know when I will be able to post again, but the next thing I would like to do is a step-by-step to the IOB Warlord. I just have to find the time!
Excellent post! Thank you for assembling everything under one roof as it were!
ReplyDelete@Black Bard...
ReplyDeleteCheers! Glad that you found it useful! There is plenty of other stuff buried in the GW site I think... I just have to find the time to find it...
