She looks great Wehrkind, I really like her face. She actually looks female unlike most SoB paint jobs I've seen. Reminds me a little of Leloo from the Fifth Element.

I also hope she is about to take to that pink tank with the Inferno pistol ^^ just kiddin'

Hehe thanks I have been trying to really get the girls looking like girls, not transvestites. I will get around to posting the rest... I have been largely successfull, though the Inquisitor looks a little like Laurel from Laurel and Hardy. Black eyebrows were a BAD idea. The Barbie Dream Rhino is a friend of mine's named Death Quaker. She is a really good painter, I just don't know how I feel about her color pallette
I did a lot of freehand work on her cloak too, you just can't see it in this pic.

Actually yeah, I do see Leloo in there! Nice work Wehrkind, her hair is especially nice.

Also, that pink tank is total sex. My unnatural urge to make a pink army is returning, and what with orks just around the corner ......

Hehe thanks Salvage. I can give you her number; she might be willing to sell the tank
Now that you mention it, it really is starting to remind me of Leloo (which is good, she was superbly sexy in that film.) The hair actually isn't all that hard to do; after 30 odd girls with different colors I have figured out a decent assembly line process.

Those Dirz are just staggering. I am glad I got my pic in just before, so at least people bothered looking at it! Those non-metalic metals are just excellent, and I adore the subtle patterns on the cloaks! Following those lovely bits, I would expect something like "Well Wehrkind, the primer you applied isn't too clumpy, I guess."

Vespasian: Sadly, you cannot directly post pictures from your computer online. They have to be hosted somewhere first. Very soon, you will be able to attach those pictures directly from your computer into the thread on Dakka and we'll basically host your pictures for free. Until then, you need to upload your pictures to a hosting site (like flickr or photobucket) and then link to those pictures from there.

This is a test paint scheme for my genestealers.  I have some changes that I will do to the final ones, mostly handle the red joint areas with a little more care.  I am stoked to get going on these guys later this Winter.

Navarro - lovely work man, so subtle and beautifully blended and shaded.

Xenite - nice stealer! Personally, I think the joints at the wrists should just be the same color as the exposed muscle on the forearm, because right now the wrists draw way too much attention. The mouth area picked out with red really works though, since the face wants to be such a focal point.

or (IMHO) vice-versa: the wrist color added to the exposed muscle to add a little more visual interest to all that green. He's a beauty though.

Hello. I guess I have to post this guy and his missus here. It's old as heaven, but one of my favorite pieces.

Tube: I remember when that was first posted is that the original one that was done? Or are there a few rip offs of it I recall seeing one with a helmet on maybe a WIP? Model still doesn't get old. Nice job.



Probley my favorite.

Close second from when I was 14.

My all-time favorite model so far that I've painted--




Fist of Gudrun The start of potentially a Steel Fury Company attached to my dang near 5000 points of Guard(The infantry are still all WIP, the Sentinels are 6/13 done, 0/10 of the Leman Russes are done).

I've got a hat! !
