---By the Way, any suggestion on how to paint the eye balls on those unhelmeted Marines?

Azizza had this to say about Pirotess:
WTF Is that a Predator Turret on top of a land Raider.. That thing has 3 Twin linked Lascannons and twin linked Assault cannons? *cough*Chesse*cough*

---

It would be cheese if there was any point to having more than one (or one twink-linked) lascannon in 4th edition.

Two More pics, these are really, like the best I can get out of this POS, Hell I haven't even resized them, Going to try to grab a better cam to take pics as soon as I paint the Tank captain.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, as I haven't read my copy since before a good portion of the membership here was born. But I remember it going something like this:

Eyes are painted as vertical streaks before you paint the flesh tone. A skinny black line for the pupil, then a slightly wider streak of the iris color on either side. You then "whittle" away at them with flesh tone till they're the proper size /shape. Don't try to make the iris completely round, people squint in sunlight and the top and bottom of the iris would be partially hidden by their eyelids. Also, don't use white for the rest of the eye, you can't see it unless your up close to someone (e.g. "Dont shoot till you can see the whites of their eyes.") and in scale it makes the figure look popeyed. On a light skinned figure, just use flesh tone. On a dark skinned figure, a mix of the flesh tone and white would be appropriate for the rest of the eyeball.

HTH...

Azizza had this to say about Cuba:
Faces are a pain in the ass for me. Flesh is without question one thing that I still struggle to do right. The secret to eyes though is a steady hand, a very fine detail brush in good quality, and a Magnifying glass helps.

don't suppose you can buy some stickers for that and apply them with crazy glue or use a fountian pen instead?

From the book of Azizza, chapter 3, verse 16:

"BEWARE THE WRATH OF CAPTAIN TUTTLES!"
or
"HELP! HELP! This small flying drone landed on my head!"
or
"KREEGAH! BUNDALO! BUNDALO!"

This makes me want to play Eldar.
