Anything Monks can do, Elves can do better... I5 for Dragon Monks.

Elves would be almost okay if they weren't portrayed as such arrogant, effete, self-seeking, capricous snobs who come off as gaier than a tree full of monkeys on Nitrous Oxide Suspect

They ARE delicious if prepared properly AND do make excellent fertilizer.

REALLY NICE PAINT JOB, Chris! thumbsup

The rock formation in the background really looks good [nice setting for the Monks]. Do you think you could post a full image of the piece [the rocks that is]. Again cheers

WELL DONE!

I like it a lot too... But some of them seem to have quite same positions, don't they? Embarassed

They're all dynamic, what do they eat at breakfast? Laughing

Something like chunks of Chuck Norris with Awesome Sauce, I guess.

They are great!

Wonderful stuff, as usual.

BTW how many more models are you going to build for the Monks?

cianty

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

Zero exactly. I'm done.

Maybe I find the mood to build some soldiers with Crossbows but that is very unlikely as I can just as easily use my Reiklander models and there's so much else I want to do. I still hava a complete Beastman warband that wants to be painted and lots of individual models (Dragons, Daemon Princes, Assassins, Temple Dogs...). I might post some group shots of the warband in this thread but other than that, it's over.

So while I'm already writing this I'd like to take the chance and thank everyone who ever commented in this thread. It's very encouraging to get so much and so positiive feedback. I'm not sure I would have done all this work without you all.

Thank you!

Even while being eaten alive old Chuck's expression [probably] wouldn't change. Suspect

Now that the Golden Tom is over I can post my latest addition to the Battle Monks warband here. You can read the making of the model and see some more photos, a little comic strip and a diorama on my wargames blog.

A BEAUTIFUL CREATION! AND very well thought out: the subtle splattering of blood on the flanks of the Temple Dog & on the shield & snow adds a nice, realistic touch to the piece.
Congratulations on your WELL DESERVED Golden Tom Award!

what is the temple dog made from?

Von Kurst

Crazy!
I didn't remember a Temple Dog from Citadel. (I followed the link to the Blog.) I was living in Iowa then. You miss so much in Iowa...

Drugart

Very nice job. *Scutters off to go watch some Kung Fu movies*

cianty

Thanks guys! Going back to this thread really brings back some great memories... it's been so long since I put love into converting and painting a full Mordheim warband. So long...

Just as detailed in the blog entry the Temple Dog is an original Games Workshop model for Warhammer - albeit a little old. Smile
