A few people have been asking for army pics... so here they are (although the pictures are not great). I still have many more to paint...

**devilution**

That's just awesome ! Very unique color scheme and extremely well painted

This makes me want to start tyranids as well

**Bloodfever**

It's awesome armies like this that make me look at my own models and contemplate just stomping on them and giving up! +1 internets to you sir.

**Moltar**

It's just... just... mouth-watering

**Bloodhorror**

Sweet Holy Moly....

That is EPIC!!!
I'm Loving the Army...
How many Points you looking at there man?

And i like the Colour Sceme, quite different, yet the army is all "uniformed" and the bases are pretty epic as well

!

**Augustus**

Wow that's really pretty!

I bet the actual models look even better than these images, it seems there's an awful lot of very fine shading work, but the lighting, in some of the images as well as the camera depth of field makes it less distinct than it really is!

I'd be honored to see some closer shots of single models.

What an incredible massive collection that is. I think the matching base colors are beautiful! Superb, even a Bio Titan, wow.

EDIT:

I went and looked in the gallery hoping for the close ups I was curious about, and lo and behold:

Superb, if you like these distant shots, go see Nards awesome close ups as well, first class! There's a LOAD of high standard custom shading work here, must have been hours and hours!

**Crom**

Nice job, if you don't mind me asking how do you achieve the liquid effect on the bases? I am experimenting with that right now using hot glue and blue ink, but yous look very nice.

**Phototoxin**

ZEY GOGGLES! ZEY DO NATHING!

Tey re so bright! I love them!

**whalemusic360**

What wings did you use on the Flyrants? They look fittingly Nid-ish.

**Lord Scythican**

You make me really hate myself for using washes. Seriously, your paint scheme is epic. I am curious on how this would look on other armies. Have you thought about painting a few Eldar Models?

That makes me laugh, I know where thats from, to funny!

OT, I just realized, meanest looking PINK army I have ever seen. Its actually pink and cream. But it's so well done I didnt even think of how crazy and rare that is.

PINK AND CREAM! ?

Wow.

**Nard**

Thanks for you comments guys

Augustus

I want to thank you for taking such and interest in my work, much appreciated.

Crom,

The bases are painted with a purple to pink fade and then coated in ether PVA or GW water effect (PVA is cheaper but water effect is better). A word of warning on water effect: leave your bases to dry overnight before applying it. I once painted a large base and applied water effect when I thought it was dry. It was too soon to apply the water effect and it distorted all the colours which merged into each other.

I used the wings from the LOTR flying thing….Nazgual I think.

Lord Scythican

I do paint other stuff. Here is a thread containing some CSM. Have not done any Eldar yet

The Balrog aka the thing that Gandalf fought in the mines? Looks right, but wanted to double check.

**Nard**

Thats the one

**Tjyven**

Loving them!

**kevlar'o**

my eyes are seeing purple

**Stump**

Really great stuff you got there.

I am not sure if its the awesomeness or the color that is hard to look at without going blind though.

**malfred**

The wife approves.

You go do this Army Profile thing, now!

**kingjayko**

OMG they look sooooo awesome!!!!

**CappyBen**

They look great! Must have taken you ages . . . my marines may need a few more bolt guns to take them on though

**Mr.Malevolent**

By the gods! My eyes! They are so beautiful!

**Ka D'Argo**

just cool

**KingCracker**

My wife is mega jealous. And that is one incredibly nicely painted Nid armies man, you should be proud of that one

**OoieGoie**

Think iv seen your stuff on the AusPainters site. Could be wrong. Hmm.

One of the top 10 armies iv seen, for sure. Original, colourful, neat, detailed... Darn Im drooling again.

**Zasamel**

B-E-A-UTIFUL

**Space_Potato**

I'm torn.....

I can't decide whether they're beautiful or a bubblegum nightmare!

In all seriousness though, amazing work. Simply mind-blowing.

S_P

**matphat**

Gee Dee that is some good work.
You deserve a prize!

**the scarecrow**

i also like how the green, the purple and the white go well together.

Superb job.

**tom_gledhill7**

I love this army, it's such an amazing paintjob on every single model.

**Abbotoir**

Good lord!
