HI every one it's probably already been done but i'm interested in seeing what other members have enjoyed painting the most .
Not how good it came out but what challenged you the most, for me it was what is below ! Trying to get the effect on the axe and the blue of the amour.
So come on lets see what you got

**tomcat31**

I think mine was probably my heldrake. It took forever, but I loved every minute. I think the enjoyment showed too, as it took 1st place in a local painting comp

**Steve steveson**

That helldrake is stunning. They too often look flat and monotone.

However, I do worry about what it is doing to that vendetta...

**tomcat31**

Lol. VECTOR STRIKE. Cheers btw. Im pretty proud of him

I really enjoyed stripping one of my earliest models...

I've got a couple of models that I especially enjoyed doing. My DC converted Assault Squad was a real pleasure both to convert and to paint, but I think my recent Librarian tops it at the moment. It was the first time I'd ever painted blue, and I was rather pleased how well he came out. So pleased I even named him (Though to be fair I name most of my guys

) So, here's my guy 'Cinis Sac'erdos' (Ash Priest):

EDIT: Hehe, you ninja'd me there Reiner - and that's quite the transformation you've done, that Daemon Prince looks great!

**Arson Fire**

I enjoyed painting my swarmlord. The hive tyrant is a great kit, and this thing just came together in no time. I think I did the whole thing over a weekend.

**Zefig**

This has to be the one I had the most fun with. I experimented a lot on it with fluorescents, oils, and airbrushing, and I mostly like how it turned out.

**Daston**

Not quite model but a unit

This guy was particularly fun to paint because I rarely duplicate the GW paintjob, and I was really proud of how close I got to matching it.

**Chootum**

Fun conversion from a WHFB Warrior Priest to an IG Ministorum Priest. Sometimes I really enjoy doing a quick tabletop paintjob rather than spending a ton of time on a single mini. Nice change of pace.

Love this guy!

**ids1984**

This is one of mine, first time I did large flat panels and a little loght weathering.

**Opeth30**

This was my first model getting back into the hobby after a 6 year absence and first attempt OSL. He was just a pleasure to paint.

**thenoobbomb**

I'm not a good painter, but these were a lot of fun!

**JohnDoe1990**

This guy was really fun to paint. He's for sale though

Bexxis Daemon Consort of Slaanesh

I liked this the most because of everything I've painted to date, I was telling a story with the model and base.

Simply put: Amazing...I have no other words that come to mind on this one

**Red__Thirst**

Mine is my =][= model, Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Atticus Garrow

I also really enjoyed painting up this model:

Those are my two favorites. Thanks for looking.

Take it easy.

My Favourite. Mostly the Face, as you can tell by it becoming my alias. :p

Everything displayed in this thread is simply stunning. I hope I am not being too melodramatic in saying the passion and enjoyment the artists felt can almost be physically seen in these.

This site is such a dichotomy.

The words we have for our hobby are often bitter, pessimistic and full of contempt* while the exemplary art and artistry exhibited throughout cannot hide our dedication and love.

When I feel kind sullied after reading one of those apocalyptic, angry threads, I need only browse one like this to rejuvenate my spirit. These threads are like a warm bath for the soul, and I hope our hobby and our passion for it will allow more like this and less of the others.
