Forgot to post new painted work



As well as some stuff I finished this week. I forgot to get these two VC stuff photographed, so I might have to not give them to the guy till Saturday or something. Damnit. I knew I forgot something. I was busy with wedding stuff so it kept me busy last night. I did finish the Valk so that is all good in the hood. Beyond that, I drew up two things for the same Arbites guy as well as finished up two spawn for Bushido Red Panda. If anyone is interested in art - shoot me an email. I work pretty quickly as you can tell.

In the coming months I will most likely have a ton more ork stuff (3 Kans hoping to come this weekend), my own personal Marines, and maybe some Death Korps guys from a large order. All Forgeworld stuff which is pretty neat to paint up.

But yeah some painted stuff.

Woot - sorry for the lack of Updates


Been somewhat busy, with 4th weekend, wedding stuff, and trying to finish stuff -

Currently on the block -
Ork Order - 3 Killa Kans, 2 BW - 1 Kan together, 1 half, other in pieces
Arbite Order - Valk - (put together, base done, need to paint) - plus some drawings for the guy
Some of my own stuff - Maybe Thirster, maybe some daemons - maybe some art

I have gotten some emails about future stuff, so stay tuned for some more nonsense coming down. Last week I finished - 2 Vampire characters, 3 oblits (conversion to paint), Chaos Vindicator as shown, and some more art. Art above woot.

This week might be busy, ard boyz, wedding to go too, my wedding stuff to do - shit lots of fun eh? Hope to get some time to finish up some art stuff and just chill out. Thank goodness my tv shows are back (Burn Notice, True Blood, Hung, Top Chef Masters, The Fashion Show, Royal Pains). It is amazing what a week without some cool shows to watch does to me. I needs me some entertainment damnit! But yeah - look for an update I hope on Thursday with some new freshly painted shiznit. Woot.

What I did today


Drew something none 40k related, which is up too and finished my Possessed for my Bile army. Now to complete the stupid army I need to mod and paint up one more rhino. Woot, as well as finish all the other stuff for customers (I swear the Valk is up, stupid big flying model).

But yeah, possessed - small update for today. And a vindicator built by a customer and painted by me. Some more work will get done on it too.

Welp this weekend was a bit of a wash



Work wise - I did get the following done

1 Loota squad
1 Built and based Possessed
1 Based Counts as Kharn
2 Rhinos

This week gonna try to get a good amount done, plus wedding stuff. Woot, it is gonna be a long week me thinks. Need to get honeymoon done, get de worm crap for one stupid cat, anti flea stuff for said cats, invitations done, rework my main art site into something that looks like my painting site (easier to view etc and check out), and take apart some stuff in the back yard to throw away. So all of that, and mini stuff woot!

Minis for this week - stuff I hope to finish

1. Valk with insides painted into this cool red glow - should look awesome as I talked myself into doing it. I curse you Andrew for making me think of something cool. Shouldn't be too hard, just a pain to get together and make sure to set up right etc, as I paint it.
2. Killa Kans #6,7, & 8 - Got all the pieces ready - Painting them is easy, putting them to gether is a pain due to greenstuffing everything to make sure it fits. Gonna use the Klaws from the BW for the one side, but it will be magnetized.
3. Nurgle Vindicator for a customer - he customized it all out and it looks fucking bad ass. Will have pics as it gets done - currently the green is based on it with 3 layers of highlights, and the metal bits are browned to start the rust and design set up - gonna have some fun with this one. Need to get a good zombie flesh for the fleshie bits as well as all the nurgle stuff. Making me rework my new rhino for my Ard Boyz army damnit.
4. Possessed Painted - Gonna go with this weird flesh/red design - the rhino has no flesh bits, but it will have this kinda cut of red into the overall black of the vehicle with metallic chips out the edges etc.
5. Kharn - same as above, with more red is the plan. Should be fun.
6. Nurgle Rhino - might be green stuffing it more as #3 has made me want to add more shit to it. Bastard Lukas!!!
7. BW 3 & 4 for Ork customer that you keep seeing.

So yeah, lots to do - hopefully I can get all of that done.

Just drank an Expresso shot - so now I post


Alright, work has been fun, and I finally had some free time to paint up the burnas for the Ork order. It is a huge one, so expect lots more dudes showing up on here. Besides that I want to finish some random Possessed for my Fabius Bile army, and then some other random bits and a Valk. Woot.

What did you think of the Siege Dread in the new White Dwarf? Looks pretty damned cool, will see if I get any. Is it worth it for the army? Enh... not so sure. Need drop pods to make fun. Will see, might have to get drop pods again. Ugh dont' want to put them together.

Next up, another reg loota squad, 3 more kans and 2 BW for the ork next wave order. From there, Kommandos will come, some extra other bits, and boyz. This army will be 3000 points when all said and done hahaha. Oh and I think I will play Fabius Bile for Ard Boyz. I just don't care enough to try to win. I don't really need any more armies as I have 2 not put together yet. So I will play for fun hehe :). Look for a list in the next update from this weekend.

Weekend Paint/Build Plans -
15 Reg Lootas - Already built, sprayed and based -
1 Valk - in box, plastic wrapped, and looking at me menacingly - Last model on current order - will be painted inside and magneted up etc - should be an awesome piece when done (at least in my head)
7 Possessed - 3 put together and based - converted with shields from chaos warriors - rep MoT Possessed (yes cheater with 4+ inv save)
1 - Kharn Counts as - was put together, fell down, got kicked - must rebuild :( - he runs with possessed as his homies -
1 - Possessed Rhino - on sprue - not really needed but I want to make one - tentacles and flesh muscle bits - fun - on list cuz I want to think and build it

Next week Plans -
3 Killa Kans - in boxes - need work and to get hammer things for arms
2 BW - Finish off the wagon death horde
1 Land Raider - it is built, just need to spray it and do a cool freehand flame mouth thingie up the side - reg LR not crazy like the pink one I have nor the daemon exploded one

And anything left from this weekend. And probably other stuff - I am always busy :). Please check out the new site - Full of Monkey Designs. It is in html so you can view it on your iphone. I need to tweak some gallery stuff, but it all works and is just easier to navigate. I also locked in the paint style in tiers with the option for clean or dirty etc style (helps pick out what artist :)). Please feel free to check it out. I do offer bulk discounts, as well as upgrade deals (Basing etc, as i have some resin bases and can cut a deal on them too). So shoot me an email at goatboybols@gmail.com.

Been busy as hell this past Monday


Drove to Arkansas over the weekend, so everything I was wanting to do, kinda got pushed aside. I wanted to check out a game store where I was going, but I didn't get the time. I did have a good time and got to see some insanely green areas of the US. It was hilly, lakey, and just downright pretty. I had a good time meeting Katie's family. I also had some Texas inspired BBQ that was awesome. I love me some BBQ and nothing is worse then crap ass BBQ. But enough about that, what made Monday busy? I've been reworking the site.

You can see the new design here. Tell me what you think. I know it isn't the most exciting design due to the lack of flash, animation, etc, but it is much more functional etc as well as easier to view on different applications. The plan is to add more images and more minis as they get done obviously :).

The painting plans this week are a burna squad, loota squad, and maybe some possessed for myself. I want to put together a Valk as well as the 2 Battlewagons. I am tempted to play Marines for Ard Boyz and built up the following basic list.

HQ: Lysander
HQ: Chaplain, Termie armor, Combi-melta, Digital Weapons
Troops: 10 Tact, Meltagun, Multimelta, Pwr Fist, Combi-melta, Razorback
Troops: 10 Tact, Meltagun, Multimelta, Pwr Fist, Combi-melta, Razorback
Troops: 10 Tact, Meltagun, Multimelta, Pwr Fist, Combi-melta, Razorback
Elites: Assault Termies (5), Crusader, Multi-Melta, Extra Armor
Elites: Terminators (5), Crusader, Multi-Melta, Extra Armor
FA: Landspeeder, MM
FA: Landspeeder, MM
FA: Landspeeder, MM
Heavy: Predator, Hvy Bolter Spon
Heavy: Predator, Hvy Bolter Spon
Heavy: Predator, Hvy Bolter Spon

Total pts is under 2500 so I might be able to throw some extra armor around. I have to see and build it out etc. The big thing is that I have to put together all the vehicles and the dudes. I want to do a specific conversion for the razorbacks, so that will be a test to see if I can get it to work right. Might ask a local builder to throw some together for me as they are based on his design.

Woot - This weekend is going to be a dry one



I am going to Arkansas this weekend for a fiance family thing. So this weekend will be a lackluster paint weekend. I did put together a full squad of burnas and a full squad of lootas to paint up the next following week. I was hoping to get a BW put together, but it is looking less likely as work has been insane these last few days. No idea why Texas has decided to throw a fit and call us all the time. Oh well, I am off tomorrow so I don't care right now hahaha. If I can survive these next 3 hours I can be golden.

Beyond those orks, I am trying to put together my counts as Kharn and possessed for my bile army. The plan is to run that for the BOLScon so will see how it rolls. If you are planning on going, sign up now. I will be the drunken guest as the weekend of it is the weekend before my wedding. Woot, so yell at me and watch me stumble around. Thank goodness for plastic models.

I did paint something last night, so check out the Arbites BattleWagon/Suppression Truck - I have a Valk next up so that should be fun too.



Look for a bunch more next week.
