Sharks are looking good as is everything else you produce.

Homo-erotic superheroes on the other hand are slightly unnerving, even for this thread. And that's saying something...

I think his stage name would be something like Clark Peck, or something.

The ork boy is looking great, a whole army at stand standard would be something really impressive to play against.

Also I heard the words Nerdcademy echo through dakka...

Lol yes, the echo is around Nerdcademy......nerdcademy........shhhhhh I can hear it on the wind!

I will be doing the whole Orkish force to the level of that boy won't be too hard as the skin only takes me about 4-5 minutes it'll be the clothes and dirtying that will take time to make them different to one another.

enough boy talk! how about Shark talk? they're done! the red bretheren Terminators are done! led by Tyberos the red wake they look good for Whaley's force and even at tabletop level I'm pleased with them, the method I used is only two step-two colours for the most part! so anyone can reproduce them if they so choose




and some individual shots.









There we go! hope you like

Those eyes top off the models so well. Bottomless black pits of death.

Like the little bits of tribal freehand as well. It's nice touch.



Any word on what might be the topic of this years Nerdcademy event?

I thought the Astra Carcharadon's veterans flesh turned grey over time and that their eyes became black. Shouldn't you unhelmed terminator reflect the Chapter's particular mutation? I mean, your models look phenomenal.

^ lol yeah his eyes are dark and I could have perhaps done more on his skin....... but.....they're done! :-)

Wow they look amazing Nerdy. I love it when you say anyone cant paint these, yeah right lol

Mate, they look really good , the eyes finish the models nicely. And the red looks great on the grey.

Sweet !

Will there be any greenstuffing as batman's hand is in the appropriate position, "Ron Jeremy, you are superman?!"

Sharks look good. I agree on the eyes, they really make the look.

He'd hae to GS an enormous..mustache as well

Sharks look awesome, perfectly finished. The eye's finish it sweet.

Nice work NF. The little tribal additions finish them nicely.

Oh hai!

I have changed tack slightly with second Nerdfest prize, I was going to paint those Possessed up but due to time restraints and the level I wanted to do them I've decided to ransack my unopened boxes and see what models I can give away as a prize which means.....


I get to spend time bringing my vision of them to life I started the first one today, I wanted to paint them how I imagine them to be. marines who's body's have engorged and burst from their armour fusing parts of it to the corrupted flesh!






I tried to get the fleshy parts to look bloody and the bone spurs to look like teeth next up will be the armour, not sure what to do yet though...? ideas?

Very nice nerdy. I really like the different treatments of the different surfaces. The gloss coat on the chitin claw... the subtle green tracing on the pads. Bronze trim and that the slightly pale red of the head helps pull the other bits together. Very nice.

Dang that possessed looks fantastic. The fleshy claws are just perfect. Might have to go repaint mine now...

Loving the termies as well, some really stunning painting all round!

Wow those look wicked awesome, nerdy. I love the gooey look you got with the claws.

Rather impressed how far you distanced this from the intiial "Christmas tree" look they kinda had going for a bit (you know, with the green and red )

Awesome awesome awesome!

It's Baaaaaaaack!

Damo, you've out done yourself this time mate. That 3rd prize is amazing.

That chaos dude is awesome Damo, really like the "veins(?)" in the shoulder pad, consider that idea stolen !

Sweet contest too, alas I will be away from home and unable to compete for the Nerdbling !

Sort of a little preview today, something that I hope will whet your appetite for Green 2015 you may be familiar with Grukk face rippa? and how I want to theme my Orks around the Blood Axes so I had to do some minor conversion just to tie him in when paint hits

I still wanted him with the buzz saw he's known for so I used a Kan saw which is nearly the same size as his power klaw so it doesn't look out of place and I didn't like the cluttered shoota so I made it shorter and more of a Austyre feel to it by using the exhaust from his original klaw as a barrel then added a Kommando backpack and i'll be ordering some bits to change his head







and there he is for now, he'll sit for a while but you'll love him all done!

Looks like a great start Damo!

I don't want him near my pretty face.

Nerdy .. for your sharks eyes.. did put a coat of gloss over them or are they painted that way. I love the way they look on the grey armor. Striking!

No gloss on those Solar, I just painted black but still gave them the little whit highlight!

Little work on Whaleys Land Raider for the sharks coming along nice and weathered so far, the lines have been blacked with wash and the chipping pattern laid down, next up more colour blocking and dusting along the bottom of the hull.






And may I ask some visitors to help me choose the next project to finish after the Raider?

I've got a shelf of half finished models for my various tangents and a few for some mates but need to see what YOU all want me to finish up

so, your choices are as follow:

Possessed?

A single Brood Lord?

Howling Griffon Tac squad?

Three Flesh Eaters Tanks!?

Death Co. Rhino and squad?

GiraffeX's Celestial Lions Termies?

Giant Damo Marine?

Howling Griffon & a Flesh Eaters Dread?

Flesh Eaters Vanguard and Sternguard squads?


I'll give it until end of next week and see whats in front

That chipping looks awesome, nerd! Really really cool!

As far as next project... Well Im for you finishing up Big Damo. Then the HG Dread, then the Celestial Lions

LR looks awesome. Great start.

As to choices, just too many choices...... I like think maybe the Termies, but the dreads would be nice. Sorry not very helpful..

It will be awesome no matter what you choose, you are on a huge roll lately (like the last 12 months), everything looking too awesome for words.

Giant Damo!

GIANT fething DAMO!!!
