Hi All,

Years ago when GW employees could order bitz based on weight of postage I picked up a couple of armies for next to nothing. With the embargo on third party resellers shipping to the southern hemisphere, I decided to dig out one of these armies. I have 80 odd metal tanith figures, so thats the start.

Here is the original test model.





And first batch painted figures.

Great work so far! Looking forward to seeing how you do tattoos, since im going to want to do that for some guardsmen of mine as well. Keep it up!

I am now accepting commissions for any hobby project! I've been in the hobby since '92. Specializing in traditional brush methods, creating a gritty dark aesthetic. From single character models to entire armies. From individual terrain pieces to entire table tops. From tabletop level to masterclass level painting. From purchasing and assembly to leveling up your assembled armies paint job. If it has to do with the hobby I can do it! Hit me up and let's chat about your project!

Those are EPIC! Just have to point out the odvious though, they are just catachan models with capes. Sorry just had to but they look awesome. You'd just have to sort the armoured ankle bits on catachan legs if you were to convert them.
