Merceus - May 23, 2008 04:54 PM (GMT)
well... since im a dumbass, my GD entry has nothing to do with air :P so doesnt really fit in the other GD thread... so here's my own log for golden daemon... its my first time to Games Day, and hence my first time entering Golden Daemon...
Here are my victims;

a full troupe of 10 guys with all the upgrades... well... except all kisses ;)
im a bit under the weather at the moment so will probably only get them assembled today... will be back for an update by tomorrow though ;)

Ooh looking forward to this mate :) I'm planning on getting some Harlies soon, I have some "alien temple" resin bases just waiting for them.

Oooooh, Harlies are fun to paint. Looking forward to seeing how this log progresses. I'd love to enter a GD but the NorthWest gets no love from GW.
Merceus - May 23, 2008 10:25 PM (GMT)
okay... got em all together now ;) damn gits thought they could get the better of me! i showed them!
Trilbydude@waaaaaaagh! - May 23, 2008 11:03 PM (GMT)
XD hah!
well, just do the best you can on them, you've got the ability.
*nudge* paint mine.
Merceus - May 23, 2008 11:07 PM (GMT)
paint your own you lazy bugger :P
oh, by the way guys... theres 10 guys i need to paint and i want to individualise each one... i think ive got an idea for the troupe master and one of the basic harlies as well as the jester...
though i am totally open to suggestions on what to do with the seer and other 6 harlies painting wise ;) come on guys, gimme ideas!!
Trilbydude@waaaaaaagh! - May 24, 2008 12:45 AM (GMT)
Hmm, cool. well, as you know I've used a High elf mage for my spiritseer, so something along the lines of incorporating elf staffs and such...
Make one Uber punky.
not that you'll need to do much converting on that one XD
also, I wanted to make my troupe master into V, so maybe have a go at that.
Otherwise, paint an ace of spades on him and call him the joker.
Merceus - May 24, 2008 12:47 AM (GMT)
dude... i just need ideas on how to paint them ;) read my above post :P
Arhalien - May 24, 2008 09:27 AM (GMT)
For scheme ideas I would direct you to the Harlequin painting gallery on the US site,but it seems to have disappeared <_<
Merceus - May 24, 2008 11:37 AM (GMT)
lol, ah well, cheers anyway ;)
*goes to snoop for it anyway*
Merceus - May 24, 2008 01:24 PM (GMT)
[sarcasm]dont you just love it when the spray makes your models go all grey and crappy?[/sarcasm] <_<
DonKarst0n - May 24, 2008 02:47 PM (GMT)
Hehe yeah one of the most finest moments. :D
Merceus - May 24, 2008 03:01 PM (GMT)
hah :lol: its not so bad after a second look just a second ago... gonna make a start on the master tonight ;)
freebooter - May 25, 2008 02:15 AM (GMT)
Oooh, prettyfull :P I base coat all my minis by hand now. It doesn't take too much longer and you end up with a much better covering than you do with a spray.
Are you going to do a display/scenic base for them too?
Merceus - May 25, 2008 07:42 PM (GMT)
I've been thinking about it, but im not sure... we'll see ;) anyways, before these guys go to GD, 5 of them will be used to enter the local stores own painting comp, all entries get £5 off yer coach ticket to Games Day and the winners get their coach ticket for free :P
another anyway... didnt get much done last night to be honest... erm... basecoated the masters coat and hair... and thats it :P

edit: dont worry about that black bit inside his coat ;) its actually part of the dangly bit attaching him to his base, so it wont be purple :P or will it? <_<
Dino - May 25, 2008 07:45 PM (GMT)
HOLY CRAP it's the Joker! Are you planning to make the entire troop look like Batman villans?
Merceus - May 25, 2008 07:50 PM (GMT)
oh crap! you're too fast for me there dino :P yeah the scheme is based on the joker ;) and the harly to the right of the pick is gonna be painted like... well, like Harly actually :P
but the rest of the guys are gonna be generic sort of harlequin paint schemes... perhaps with a bit more variation in the patterns... ie the Death Jester is gonna have some pinstriping and checkers going on, and some other probably will do as well, along with the famous diamond pattern...
I might even try and work in a drawing a did a couple months back... hold up ill try and find the link... dont know where I'll put it though :P oh, and also gonna throw in some more card imagery, ie all 4 suits will be represented somewhere somehow ;)
Edit: though the Death Jester could probably be Black Mask... and Poison Ivy shouldnt be too hard... if only I had someone who could be Bane :P lol...
Edit s'more: i dont really see an opening, but i'd like to find somewhere to
this in...
Dino - May 25, 2008 07:56 PM (GMT)
I see.
Well this will be funto watch none the less. Just remember to try and include two face and scare crow if you do.
Edit: The design is very nice. Good luck on it.
Merceus - May 25, 2008 07:58 PM (GMT)
well two face shouldnt be too hard ;) though scarecrow... hmm... maybe... hold on...
*rummages* *pulls out 'The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight'* *shifty eyes*
lets have a look-see :P
Edit: *facepalm* Riddler maybe? lol
okay... so far we have;
Joker
Harley Quin
Black Mask
Poison Ivy
Two-face
Riddler
and maybe Scarecrow... <_< need 3 more...
Edit: only other option I can see is Catwoman... I think I'll just forego the batman villain thing and leave it with Joker and Harley ;)
brambleten - May 25, 2008 08:07 PM (GMT)
the Penguin?
if thats what hes called, anyway
Merceus - May 25, 2008 08:08 PM (GMT)
nah :P penguin wouldnt work... i was looking fer villains that could easily be adapted into harlequins ;) penguin is just so... unharlequinesque if you know what i mean :P
Dino - May 25, 2008 08:12 PM (GMT)
Very true. But catwoman and Mr.Freeze could work. Not so sure how that'd work though for freeze. :huh:
Edit: Ya it's up to you on that one.
Althanan - May 25, 2008 09:08 PM (GMT)
Penguin could be used for the Death Jester. He does love his tommygun, after all ;)
