One for Greenthumb (community painting event)

[CaptainDangerous]

Hi Yaks!

As the title suggests, I’m here to ask the tribe to paint a single mini and post it here!
Our esteemed brethren @Greenthumb , despite being severely unwell, managed to locate a venue for Mankymeet and 3D print a gift for everyone attending!
I would like to show my support by painting the mini I received, and invite the wider tribe to join in with a mini of their own!

We’re with you @Greenthumb!

Inspiration: the minis painted by the yak himself (I hope you don’t mind me showing them):

 

[CaptainDangerous]

I’ll get the ball rolling:

I chose the rat chef, tho when iv removed the supports, the rat escaped!!

Although I love the rat, I might have a look in me bits box and see if I can’t find something to make her a bit different?

And also, my super special greenthumb deluxe:
The TRL BRU Shouty Man!

TRL BRU! GET YOUR TRL BRU!!

 

[Stoof]

I have cleaned up my pie baking ratling, I did break some tentacles off the ingredients table that I only realised afterwards weren't supports, but there's still a couple there. Hopefully I can find the motivation to have a go at painting her!

I had some support removal issues too in the course of cleaning up my priest dude. Some parts of the staff snapped off but I was thinking of removing this anyway in favour of some other weapon or gadget. After a bits box plunge I also came up with a new left hand and head so ended up rather butchering the base model but I think the end effect will still be in the spirit of the original.

“ORANGES!”

Base coat down:

:Slop it on brown liquid phase imminent:

And found a suitable accessory for the rat chef:

Hope you are a thigh man?
Grox anyone?

I decided to paint one of my newest kitbashes for this. Here’s a WIP.

More paint! And since the paints are out and will be used for another Yak, I used them.

I realise this is actually two for @Greenthumb , but Hey Ho!

The TRL BRU Shouty Man

The CFG Grox Lady

Thanks again friend, you’re a top yak!

 

[Punktaku]

Just need to base this one up, and he’s done. Notice the green thumb? I’m guessing it’ll be his namesake.

 

[Punktaku]

Finished up my “One for Greenthumb”. I don’t know what affliction Greenthumb is dealing with, but the word on the power fist is for the enemies of this Yak venator. The green thumb on the fist is for our fellow tribesman.

For my One for Greenthumb, I will be dedicating a chap with two Green thumbs (and fingers but we won't talk about that). So here is Boss Greenthumb:

Orc Boss

Still need to finish his base when I find some classic style flock for it.

Well there's a few models that spring to mind. But having just had a pile of terrain dropped off by the mighty @Greenthumb for future Mankfester terrain madness I think I need to bring back a slice of the original Mankfester boards.

There was a mighty barge which has ended up getting a wee bit crushed since it was used last. All that's left is the raised bit (think it would be classed as the bridge).

So I'll be rebuilding the ship and it will become the "Sump Barge Greenthumb".

 

[Greenthumb]

hey guys. Only just caught up with all this..
Just wanna say I really appreciate the lovely thing you are all doing.
I am hopeful to see you all at the summer meet up this year for a few games but if I can't make it I will send a bunch of scum and bounty hunters etc in my stead

Arch Deacon Mikelangeljo, a preacher within house Goliath, gained recognition during the purgation and subsequent destruction of the Pristine Chapel, a church within house Cawdor that had fallen under xenos influence. The details of the purgation have been redacted but the fallen priest’s body now sits atop Mikelangeljo’s burning staff, a stark warning to any that would turn from the Emperor’s light. Mikelangeljo now lends his spiritual support to Goliath gangs across the underhive, a prayer here, a shotgun blast there, all welcome his aid.
