I just wanted to do this for my Seraphim Legion successor chapter of the Blood Angels. This is going to be my Librarian Dreadnought.

Is everything you have painted this great?

Most of it is much better. Except the ones that aren't. I'm a speed painter. I've won three Golden Demons, but it's pretty rare that I paint to that standard. My goal is to teach people the tricks that let them put very well painted armies on the table in reasonable time.

My jaw LITERALLY dropped. That is one of THE coolest models I have seen in a long time.

Duuuude... That is one of THE coolest things I have ever seen!

Looks really cool. Any reason why it's named St. Michael? St. George is the prototypical dragonslayer IIRC.

St. Michael has also been portrayed as conquering Satan, who is often portrayed as a dragon in icons.

"Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."
- Revelation 12:7

FW Contemptor base model? How did you like that kit?


It's...It's...Beautiful.

It's...It's...Beautiful.

The Contemptor went together really easily, once you figure out what's what. It just comes in a million little pieces, just like the FW titans, and you get to figure out what piece is a hand and what's a foot etc... That actually works out well for me, because it lets me pose it much more easily.

NICE!!! Love all of it! Especially his hand though.

You've just taken classic art and turned it into da awsomez! Next we need a Marriage of St. Celestine SoB thingie!

That is awesome.

I really like the pose of the "dragon" he's slaying. Good work capturing the realism in poses and translating that to the models - something that's actually pretty difficult to do.

no blood on spear?

I noticed that as well

Looks great otherwise, but could use a bit of tomato juice.

Blood would take away the divine, romantic theme of the artwork. Do you see the heroes in Renaissance paintings splattered in blood?

This is just amazing! Great conversion, silhouette, painting and theme!

Brilliant work.

Fantastic

You sir have sparked my interest the model is gorgeous and I would like to get my hand on all that valuable painting information locked in your head

The best contemptor conversion I've seen yet, and the theme is a nice find!

Amazing work.

Oh wow, that is amazing! Excellent work!

Very well executed! But you already knew that!

I dislike the dread model a little less now!
