Nice work on the LR.

I would like to see the Death Co., and the GIANT DAMO.

I vote Giant Damo and HG Tac squad.

Good Lord Damo.... do you have time to do anything except paint!!?? Nice job on the weathering on the tank... and the Damo marine is looking very nice. Great work as always my friend. Pretty soon they're going to replace the definition of "prolific" in the dictionary with a picture of your mug!

Yeah the Damo is my vote.

Whaley's sharkies land raider of pain is nearing doneness! blocked more colour and washed some metals for some poppin' looking good so far enjoy and thoughts?

I've been wanting to try the heat annealing effect for a while now. Nicely done.

GIANT fething DAMO!!!

Can't be giant Fething Damo.......he's wearing pants !

Great job on the LR. The weapons look great .. whats the method you used?

Looking nice, a drive me closer so I can hit you with my powerfist vehicle

In regards to the next project I'm going to go with the giant Damo Marine and the Celestial Lions a close second.

Celestial lions and death Co get my vote!

Nice work NF. The guns are looking good. As is the weathering. I like the contrast of the inside of the hatches too.

Surely it's just that he's just seen a good friend and is waving at him.

These aren't Ultramarines

Sorry had to get in on this...

'Throw me the Ball, I'm open'
'Forward men. you don't see me running from cover to cover against those plasma cannons'
'Hey...Can anyone read what Knightly wrote on my palm. Go someplace, Get a ... damn scribbles'

SUPRISE!! I finished Whaley's Sharky Raider! it's funny as I always like to do a good job and if I can make something special for someone then I do it! so doing these for Whaley at a tabletop level was kind of a tough test, not saying that it's bad by any means I just found myself focusing on certain parts and spending more time than I probably should have which might have risked some bits looking under done.

but on a positive note I like it and it will suit the rest of the force beautifully! the weathering suits the nature of the sharks and the simple paint job is still providing enough pop to be interesting












Thoughts?

Well of course it looks amazing bud. Fantastic, and what you call plain I call cool, gives it a real feel.

Are you missing an armored plate for the left Hurricane bolter? Kinda threw me off there seeing the other one with the nice tribal on it.

The plate and sensor on the other one were lost in the warp. I've got spares I'm going to send over.

Looks great otherwise. Nice touch of red in there for the Red Wake and Bros.

Woof..

Thanks guys! :-) I felt a touch of red was needed and I wanted it to be more of a nod to the red brethren rather than a slap in the face with a fresh bloody hand!

A nice piece of tank. Very crunchy work on the weathering!

I am loving those green lenses. They are gorgeous.

The red aquila on the assault ramp is really quite eye catching. Great choice of colour splash.

I kinda like it without the armour plate. It gives it a nice stripped down, no nonsense look.

Very well done Damo. Gritty. Just the way a good tank should look.

That looks awesome, nerd! Absolutely drool-worthy.

As said before, the red aquilla is a great touch, and I love the grungy look you got. Makes the LR really look like its seen some action! And your tribal freehand is an awesome addition, as always!


I just noticed, but were you going to do anything with the mechanicus symbol on the back? Something about it looks a smidge off just in the base LR paint color, though that might just be me.

Amazing work. The weathering is phenomenal.

I'm really liking the heat damage on the weapon metals. Very well executed.

You're beginning to make excellence look commonplace !

Nice work. I like the combination of the weathering on the lower hull with the "showroom clean" style of the upper. Discouloured metal also looks great!

Cheers guys. again I tried to use ways that were essentially basic such as sponge weathering the chips and only picking out the edges on some random parts as well as a one colour over the base colour as an edge highlight, the dust weathering gives it some Ooomph and the clean parts look nice next to it! :-)

Crikey do I have to do everything around here? no one hangs out here anymore so I've got to o my own posting to encourage you

Hmmm, lets see, what would entice you?..........

models.....yes......finished models?.....


how about Whaleys 2 Chappies?...... Oh o.k!



I finished the two guys today and i'm happy with how they look, I may tighten up some edges before they go flying as they look a little flat, the Cassius model is hard to paint because he really is mainly black and some silver parts which doesn't leave much to spot colour! but they shall look good with their brethren on the tabletop of battle! since I was tabletopping them standard wise I wanted to add a little fun focus on them, especially Crush I painted decorative patterns on his helmet inspired by the chaplains helmet from the 'Ultramarine' movie and 'Charlie' got designs on his combi bolter












Now perhaps even with my absence we can begin to stoke the fire of my paint pot and get me back to a rampart level of producing crappy painted models with exceptional lighting to hide flaws! lol

Amazing and beautiful work as always Nerdy.

I have to say though that sccroll work on the helmet is beyond wonderful. Properly amazing. We all bandy these words around a lot, and mean it every time, but it is not enough to say awesome on this, just gobsmackingly amazing.

Yeah they look really nice Nerdy, you really do have a way with those swirls!
