So I did it, it doesn't look incredibly glorious or anything but I made it look like he is stepping down on the Exarch pretty much. I had to pull some shenanigans because I just didn't have the time or patience to model the Exarch enough that his foot would be flat and thus his other foot was raising up. So I used some pieces of random stuff to put his other foot kind of on a platform so that his right foot would be stable and then I glued them both down, I figure I'll use my snow and such to make it look a little more presentable later on.

Nice! Pics?

Sorry I've been intermittent in replies and whatnot, my schedule's been a bit hectic. xp

Sh'rght, we all get busy sometimes, I really haven't logged onto to Gaia for a couple days now cause I'm in a different state at the moment. I'll probably be able to get some pictures when I get home on Friday, I'll also hopefully have a good chunk of the model done by then too.

Heres my Imperial Knight, he obviously isn't completely finished but a lot of the heavy lifting has been done.

Nice, though at first glance it really looked like you put a Christmas wreath on the grill. whee

No not really, I don't really want to show off what isn't done yet I'm not as proud of it as I am the paint job but I still think it looks cool, like he's just stepping down and crushing the Exarch. But I need to paint the Exarch Iyanden first and then...I dunno how the hell I'm gonna base this monster...

I've been painting the Exarch this evening so maybe I'll get that together in the next day or so, my major problem will be basing because I don't have the basing paint I would like, only the OG, "Comes in a bottle" snow base.

All right I got most of the painting of the Exarch done, I dunno if I'm going to highlight anything or not but he's mostly painted and washed.

Nice! I think it'll be a nice touch, maybe you could use Stirland Mud for the base of the whole thing? It'd be a good mix with the rest of the scattered debris.

I'd really like to base my army in snow, but I don't really have a whole lot of snow terrain, I only have snow and that old foresty green stuff. And the nearest shop doesn't have any of the snow base either...And I don't have the money to really order any...v.v First world problems.

Haha, yeah... Seen any guides on how to do snow with just modeling sand and paint?
