Friday Top Ten #6

I kinda dropped the ball last week. Sorry about that.

Real life overtook me in a big way and i'm afraid it'll keep getting in the way. My studies and moving half way across the country next month will basically eat up all of my free time, hence why i've been resorting to doing lunchtime painting. Serious kudos to Ryan on FTW for finding the time to post his top ten on the same day every single week, as it's a lot hard than it first seems.

So this is the end of the Friday Top Ten as you know it. There'll still be a weekly Top Ten, just on whatever day i can find the time to post it up on. Some time in the future it will be restored to a set day, but for now, this is the way it has to be.

Here's this weeks list then

1. Big Will over at Heresy Workshop has this very nice pre-heresy veteran

2. These Howling Banshees by Stahly are just all kinds of awesome

3. Magilla Gurilla has this cool but slightly creepy Deamon Prince

4. Rob at Spikey Bitz has some truely epic Ninja Grotz

5. Suicide Badger has some cool Imperial Guard, complete with Xeno-Heretic Col. Straken!

6. Tolcrothlogan has some awesome Danes. I'm not usually one for historical figures, but these are just too good to pass by

7. Ron talks about playing 40k your way

8. John at Santa Cruz Warhammer demonstrates how to make Rhinos that make you go 'ooooh gribbly'

9. I want one of these models for my Khainite Dark Elves army and this one on Bellum Aeternum has brought my urge to impluse buy to the fore again. Truely inspirational paint job

10. And finally, Avertine at Zen 40,000 has this awesome Lamenters Captain

Not A Top Ten

Hey guys, just a note to say sorry about the lack of Friday Top Ten last week. Little thing called real life got in the way.

It'll be back to normal on Friday. I promise

Friday Top Ten #5

This weeks been a long week for me, with final major projects eating up nearly all my time, but i still found time to unearth these gems of our hobby.


1. Right off the bat, Sytus has painted an Imperial Navy pilot. nearly 5 years on and it's still and awesome model.

2. Wallshammer discusses breaking the mold

3. An awesome Ork Humvee from Da Green Skins. hmmmm... i'm getting ideas now

4. Erik A has cool trees. Normally i avoid those GW plastic trees, but he's made them work

5 A Gentlemans Ones documents his epic one man struggle with a Realm of Battle board. Here, Here and Here

6. Bushido Red Panda has an jaw-dropping Sanguinor. I hate the model, but love this paint job

7. ThePete shows us how he makes plastic Stormtroopers

8. This Space Wolves standard bearer is just all kinds of awesome. Kudos to J Croxford.

9. Feeling down? Feel free to have a hug from this beauty by Sam

10. And finally, there's this jawdropping Terminator Assault Squad from Roleplayer

Friday Top Ten #4

Well i'm back from my break. I've been music festival-ing got rained on, soaked, covered in mud and frowned on by relatives upon my return, but it's been a good few weeks.

Anyway, now i'm back with all sorts of ideas for projects, which i'll be posting up over the next few weeks

And without further ado, here's the top ten

1. Drathmere has come up with a novel way of storing your paint pots

2. Zombieburger 40,000 has an awesome Nurgle Rhino

3. A neat objective marker from Heresy Workshop

4 Ron has painted a cool Space Hulk Librarian. There seem to be a lot of Space Hulk models cropping up online recently - 6 months on and it looks like people are finally getting round to it

5. Akenseth is working on a Medusa conversion. I've been considering doing the same thing myself

6. FoxPhoenix is making a Hive Fleet. As an evil genius, i approve of this

6. Some awesome crest helmets from Mister Justin

7. Zen 40,000 has painted a neat Rhino. I don't like them but they eep catching my eye recently

8. Painter with no Name has made the coolest option in the new BA codex.

9. TheMightyFlip has painted a very nice sniper dude

10. Titans are cool. Two are even better, as Siph_Horridus proves

Edit: just realised i accidentally have number 6 twice - looks like it's a Top Eleven this week -consider it a bonus to make up for me being away for two weeks

Friday Top Ten #3

It was pretty slim pickings this week, but i put that down to a lot of bloggers preparing for Adepticon. What i did find though was excellent stuff.

1. This Bonecrusher by Mike Howell is awesome. I really don't see enough of these about

2. Repentia are such nice models to paint, as BJ at Extremis Diabolus proves here. Shame about the rules though

3. This Witch Hunter, by Andy over at The Lair of the Breviks caught my eye

4. Inq28 has painted this. Not sure if it's a Rogue Trader, Inquistors henchman, or what, but it's seriously cool

5. An excellent Crimson Fist sergeant from Dakka Dakka Daz

6. Ottawa Gamer has a nice analysis of the new BA codex.

7. Col. Corbane posted a great tutorial for trees and foliage

8. These Drop Troopers by Side Streaker are amazing. I'll be watching this army with great interest

9. Atrotos from the Rules Manfactorum discusses the seemingly inevitable return of Herohammer

10. I've had my eye on these Slitherbugs by Rob Baer for a while now, but this Tyrant is particularly awesome

And finally...

Honorary Mention

Incunabulog has posted a review of the best model of all. This made me smile considering what the near future may hold for me

Just an announcement, there won't be Top Ten for the next two weeks, owing to the fact that i'll be at a music festival on Mersea Island on the Easter weekend and at my relatives the week after. Should be back in three weeks time though, so watch this space.

Friday Top Ten #1

Ryan from Ftw has said that he wouldn't mind having some rival top tens out in the Blogosphere, so i'm taking him up on that challenge

Hopefully this will become a hopefully weekly, or at least a fortnightly thing. I've wanted to do it for a while, but havn't wanted to tread on Ryans toes.

I'm not trying to compete with or supplant Ryans Tuesday Top Ten, i just want to provide an insight into what inspires me in the hobby world

So without further ado, here's this weeks list

1. Here are some rather nice scratch-built Meganobs by MTD

2. Templar Vanquish has made this Arbites patrol vehicle

3. Bell of Lost Souls has a good tutorial for painting bone, which i'll be using for my Deathwing

4. Bsmoove has done some interesting Terminators

5. Some very nice WIP Dwarfs from The Grumpy Stunty

6. FtW's Ron has written a good article on the power of suggestion

7. I'm not normally a fan of Rhino's, but this one caught my eye

8. Killa Kans are one of my favourite Ork vehicles and this one at Musings of a Smurf made me want to paint some more

9. Some sweet Deathwatch from Jeremy

10. and finally, i love these airships from Musings of a Metal Mind
