This is one of my favourite models from GW, and one of my favourite paint jobs I've done. I wanted an 'earthy' feel to him, so he'd look like he would blend into the scenary. He's painted black, Foundation Granite, and then either highlighted up the Greys for the black clothing, or up to Foundation Gretchin Green for the armour. The base I cut a hole into and formed a false bottom, and progressively built up some of the water effects into it to create a small pool. And VERY regrettably, I need to raise some ££££, so he's up for grabs on Ebay. Shame, he's one of my favourites

Very, very nice.

Another in the line of SecretSquig's models for Ebay...

Nice work...., but when I saw the first pic I was sure he had a peg leg. I was like WTF?

Lol, I thought I was the only one who thought that initially, hehe

Don't remind me ! There's a lot more to come I'm afraid, but at least they'll go to good homes, I think by the end of tonight I'll have around 30 models on Flea Bay.

You might want to post a link to your auctions too

That might be a prudent course of action Squig.

That way anyone who likes what they see can go to the page easily and bid!

Funnier still, I thought he had a Scuba flipper on his left foot. Man that thing is huge!

All fun aside, that's some very nice painting.

Nice nice i like it alot

Very nicely done. I like your work on this guy. Post more pics of other models you have painted if you can. Would like to see more.

A+++

well your are nice i just find it funny how we see how good of a painter you are everyday and then you sell some of (could be bever saw your real army) your best paint jobs and then you ell them i think you should keep a few not all but some of your best

Looks awsome!!!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don't want to sell my stuff, but I can either default on other payments and either loose my car or my house, or, I can do this. It's hard to do, when you've put so much time and effort in them, but life has priorities and this comes a close second to keeping the car I need for work, or the house I need to live in.

I have in terms of armies.....

A complete Company of Legion of the Damned
A Full Steel Legion Company +8000pts
A Huge Genestealer Cult + 8000pts
Pure Thousand Son's + 6000pts.

I've also got a load of Characters from various armies that I've painted up because I like the models.

Dude, I empathise about losing/selling such beautiful models for hard times. I hope everything straightens out for you.

Pop a Link in your Sig, that would be helpful.

Stay safe,

I have been there myself. Pretty much all of my best work was sold along time ago. I was much better then. I have been back pretty strong for the past year. I almost had to relearn how to paint. You can make money that way. I was making a killing with special characters. You have a talent and if you can make money at it I say more power to you. Hard to let them go but I know how you feel. You will bounce back.

once you have all the money and det is paid off

you can buy him again!

Seriously..... This is the ..... Forth, fifth mini your adverising about? Nice work, I like.

cool!

They're awesome paintjobs and by noising them about Dakka there's probably a better chance of them going to a "good home" where they'll be display pieces rather than stripped like most of the garbage that goes up on Ebay.

Although it's mighty tempting to kitbash some of those Gorkamorka... NO! Bad Solasun!
