Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Cheers! the running Patriarch really is a strange model - it's a proper icon yet on closer inspection has just too much going on! I tried not to pick out too much on mine so the silhouette could come through. I think it was one of the first models I messed around with the purples too, mixing flesh coloured paints instead of white to lighten it up. Overall, I reckon the sitting one works better as it's just that little bigger - you can really go to town on all the cracked chitin!<br /><br />I really like Olley's Squats and I feel awful slating him for the work on the Hybrids. It's true they're a daunting thing unpainted! He handles textures very differently to any other modeller and I think that's what throws people. onehundredandfiftyonereasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550407822005156472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444815492878434874.post-47340857866506305642015-02-06T02:41:38.606-08:002015-02-06T02:41:38.606-08:00Just found my way here via the Realm Of Chaos blog...Just found my way here via the Realm Of Chaos blog and I'm glad I did!<br />I'm having trouble following right at the moment (explorer can't show this page) but I will persist.<br /><br />Your 'stealer minis look great, I've painted the running Patriarch and agree that there are details on the details, despite it appearing to be very simple.<br />Your version looks nicer than mine though!<br /><br />I've got a fair amount of Squats painted up and I've got to say I'm pretty much firmly in the pro Olley camp, they can look like rubbish unpainted but when they're done I end up loving them...often very challenging to paint though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879413617587155317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444815492878434874.post-7140270988267374822015-01-10T08:50:18.370-08:002015-01-10T08:50:18.370-08:00Thank you so much for confirming that for me! The ...Thank you so much for confirming that for me! The old catalogues I've seen have never made it obvious as to which sculptor was responsible for those figures - rad to know the hunch was correct! I hate talking crap on sculptors as they're a bunch of talented people whose skill far outweighs mine. Some of Olley's Chaos beastman sculpts are iconic and wonderful to paint - just wish some of that magic had rubbed off on the Hybrids!onehundredandfiftyonereasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550407822005156472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444815492878434874.post-5985501707383212542015-01-10T03:36:43.472-08:002015-01-10T03:36:43.472-08:00The two single piece hybrids, familiars, Magus adv...The two single piece hybrids, familiars, Magus advisor, Magus with microphone and his staff wielding twin are all Jes Goodwin sculpts. His cleaner style is a lot more forgiving. Personally I like about 1/3 of the Olley hybrids, am neutral on 1/3 and dislike the remainder. And I'm an Olley fan!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.com
