I'm loving Morty so far and lorgar just wow!

Omnomnomnomnom.

Love it. So far anyway Morty's armour looks awesome and I'm in the same boat as Whaley regarding the green - what's happening?

Nice work on those primarchs. Somehow I like the colour of the rocks you chose especially.

Lovely Lorgar! Metallics are spot on, as usual. Face is great and I like the flame effects, Nerdy!

Well I just read through all 169 pages, made a dakka account, and have to say... AMAZING! From the start to the end your work has been beautiful, and it can only get better!

Great work, Damo on these Primarchs. You're on an insane roll of productivity lately. I'm jealous as all hell.

So I go away for a couple of weeks and Damo starts showing off !!

Really awesome work on the metals there mate, love the Knight , and the Primarchs are truly top end stuff !

Nice one sir !

Wow. I'm totally speechless. These are stunning paint jobs.

And another one bites the dust! another of the brothers grim! Mortarion who's lets be honest probably the most grim of the bunch!?

firstly thank you everyone who's commented and hanging around in here lately, I appreciate it and am sorry i've been a little busy to give you all the time you deserve but to try and make it up to you i've got a finished Mortarion to show you!

he was just as much fun as I had hoped to paint! and I had to paint him in a really different style than my clean style! he's really gritty and dirty but not decrepit. his armour I tried to make it look white and mouldy like it hasn't seen much sunlight and had been in a cold damp environment for years while he's worn it! his face I used space wolf grey instead of bone to highlight and used purples to shade it so he looked a bit corpse-ish for his cloak I wanted it to look thicker than normal, kind of like a waterproof canvas tarpaulin cover and I think it works with his style.

I hope like him as much as the others and I finally got the images sorted for click and vote! I encourage you to have a click and check them out closer up so you can see the detail













Until next time...... until .... next.....tiiiiiimmmmme!

Amazing. Great all around !.. Everything really is stunning.

Great work, Damo. Outstanding!

I find it most impressive that you got the dakka images working all on your own!

He looks pretty sweet though. Very battle worn and dirty, different then your normal.

Words do not exist...

.......Nope......I got nothing......

.....errr.......Good work.........

...that doesn't cover it by any means.......but neither does anything else I have to say....


Damn you Damo.

Very nice indeed NF09, I really like how you weathered the white armour and the cloak was a great choice of colours for Mortarion.

My only small critique ( and I can not do anything this amzxing ) would be a bit more lighter flesh tone. A bit more pale. Still 10/10 for me.

Thanks everyone! :-) I don't know what i'd do different if I did him again, maybe give him 'normal' skin? dunno really but I do like him! next is Horus so I really got to bring my A game for him! lets see how I go as he's quite an important one!

Nice work NF. I like the grubbiness you have done on the armour and good job on the wood texture.

Nice work on the finished Morty!

My only criticism can't be directed at you; I just noticed he doesn't have his infamous half-mask! Why FW? Why?!

Yeah i've heard that bouncing around the web too, still a great model and tbh I didn't know about this half mask until I was reading some Nerd rage

Try reading "The Flight of the Eisenstein". Probably one of my favourites in the HH series.

I think that the designer said they were keeping that until one of his later incarnations.

You've done a great job on Morty there nerd, can't wait to see what you do for Horus.

Awesome job, as always Nerdy...

And yeah, sad thing about the "rebreather" mask indeed... I guess the HH series isn't THAT canon ?

I love how the face looks almost corpseish it just seems appropriate for him lol, I'd say my favorite parts would be the face and scythe, gives him a very grim reaper esque appearance.

Hey everyone got a little box in the mail full of BIG!

yes indeedy I scored myself by way of a rather generous friend (whom I shall repay tenfold!) a large scale marine from the Deathwatch!! I've wanted to do one of these for simply ages but other things kept me from grabbing one, now I've got one and couldn't help but start it I filed off the Deathwatch pad stuff and will be painting him as a FleshEater I was going to go HG but I think my FE's deserve the first big model to honor them!

anyway here he is, just primed and washed getting ready for real paint





Now I can almost hear Whaley crying from here? "Uhhh where's my Horus?...."


Tis alright dude I did some more today, not heaps but based all the parts that shall be gold, and damn that's near all of him!!





more tomorrow,it's just a paint day tomorrow until the groomer comes out to wrangle my 3 kids!

Looking pretty good. I can't wait to see how the massive not-so-deathwatch FE turns out!

Horus looks good too, the green is a little green though isn't it? I've always thought the SoH were more of bluey sea-green

Great job, well done.

Horus looking great so far., and the big fella should be plenty interesting

Morty looks damn impressive, dude! I love the chalky whites and dingy greens. The whole thing just has that sense of decay around it, that speaks of things to come.
I think my favorite parts on it are where the rusty browns and the green patina meet (like the backpack). It becomes this area of really bizarre and beautiful contrast.


Giant dude is awesome (I want one ), and Horus is shaping up really nicely. The lime green shoulders really got toned down! Very much looking to seeing him all bright and finished.

Uhhh where's my completed Horus?....
