Like the title says

If you can't pick one, post a few!

At Warseer there's a thread like this and I'd love to see dakka faves.

Here are a few of my very faves:


My all time labour of love 2005-2006:





Weird, speed painted fave 2006...just something in the simple conversion and how he works in the gang that makes me so fond of him. Necromunda is also the best, most enjoyable GW game to me.





Inquisitor Lord Frostschein and his trusty little librarian Samuel from 2003. So many war stories and bits of fluff on top of the modelling have shaped them into true dramatis personae in our gaming group. He hasn't bee same since S6 perils of the warp though





Currently I am very childishly excited about the TWAR, but you've seen enough of them

Yeah, now no one's going to post.

Yeah, now no one's going to post.

My thoughts exactly.

 

 

First one unto the breach!

man i love the necron head on coatez's body...so cool...

unfortunately, i don't get many pics of my minis before they have to be shipped out...here are a few that still make me happy after all these years...

please to enjoy...

this guy is from back in '01...just havin' fun with conversions and urban camo...

this guy is from '03 i think...he is 22 seperate pieces from a few different ranges(includin' inquisitor scale)...he was my second iron hand, and i really enjoyed buildin' him...

this was my first alt. scheme work for privateer press, and still one of my favorite warbands...done in late '03 i believe...

this was one of the last battlegroups i did for privateer before i left...mike gave me free rein, so i chose the paint scheme based on the box cover, and the illustrations in escalation...done in '05...

i really like this guy, 'cause i painted him for larry elmore's personal collection...what better homage than to paint it as a portrait of the man himself...done in '04...

these last couple are some more recent...unfortunately, most of my work doesn't see the light of day until 4 or 5 months after i finish...so i can't show off the new stuff...these are painted to my tabletop standard...nice and clean though...

 

thanks for lookin'...

 

cheers

 jah

 

I'll bite ^_^

A few years ago a friend of mine gave me all of his Space Wolves stuff. And from that my favorite model he ever modeled became mine. Thus he got paint:


I did this guy for the Mook Painting Competition back in the day before I left for Iraq circa 2003-2004. I couldn't get a good photo at the time so he looked like garbage when I submitted the pic. I ended up posting like a week later with better pictures ^_^;..:


And my latest and quite possibly best conversion to date:

cool guardsmen

if GW does something mean to Inquistors and their retinues I will never forgive them

I love that last one, grey.

Does the Emperor's Champion model justice, to say the least. I wish my conversion skills were that good, let alone my painting.

CK

Jah - Really like your stuff man.  Fav model from the group you posted is the golden colored warmaster.  Just awesome.

Grim - Weathered dread feets!!  You're making me want to paint my extra dread >.>...

Migs - the necromunda guy is oddly awesome in his simplicity and yet elegant in execution.

Corpsman - it was all just precise cutting and filing.  There was ZERO greenstuff involved in that piece ^_^.  So if you've got the guts to cut up an expensive model ^_- I say go for it!

All of it is stuff I've actually played in the past year.

I painted this bad boy  up for my Salamanders army a few years ago, and entered it into the Warpstone competition in Calgary. I placed silver in the category.
the green armor took me so long, I pretty much rushed the rest of the model.

That's a rushed orange color???

Nice.

For me, it's a tossup between these two guys:

Ilya (his mother calls him Little Ilyusha, his enemies call him "Aaaaaaaargh!" :



Dr Fell:



Neither is all that well painted or converted, but both capture my original concepts well enough.

First up my scratch built BIGGEN

Next My newest Warboss

My dogs of War Bulls

My Warmachine Man-OWars "The Wolf pack"

Perhaps my most favourite models are The Hrud overseer (a big, fat, rat with boosted IQ) and The Hrud avatar... Also I kind of like my bloodthirster.

 

 

 

Here are my top 3 favorites:

#1:

#2:

#3:

 

Migs and Yak win the thread.

Here's mine:

Arch-Heretic Omega of my Lost and the Damned



And before anyone says it, yes, I know the barrel isn't drilled out, neither that nor the base have been done yet.

Wonderful stuff guys! Most of which I haven't seen before!

KEEP POSTING!!!

This is the best I've got:  two of my favorite mutants for my now-discontinued Lost and the Damned army:

The one on the left I call Sweetums.

I have a lot of favorites. If I didn't really like what I was making, I would never play with it But here's a few

First is my marine army in general. Like most it was my very first 40K army and a few years back and stripped and repainted them in the same colors, just with better skills. Here is the command squad that was entered in WD's design your own marine chapter contest from a while back. I won 8th place and one of the guys was in WD. I forget the issue but it was the one with the LOTR 2 towers on the cover. I got a little certificate saying the high lords of terra consider them an official chapter too



My alienids too. I've done a lot but I still like the queen hive tyrant the best. The head was my first real sculpting job. I took a lot of pics of a queen alien and tried to make it look as close as possible



I still kind of regret selling my necrons. Here's a conversion I did for a heavy destroyer



And the demon price for the night lords army I never finished. Ended up trading them for a bunch of Tomb Kings



And out of everything, what tops the list just for looks and the fun I had making it was my unit of pirate empire swordsmen



There's even more i'd love to share, but I gotta get back to my baneblade I think he'll be a new favorite soon

WOW some damn fine submissions here! Started off with a BANG definitely! Good to see so much talent on a forum!

Hmm.... I have always been fond of these guys:

well, I suppose one of my current favorite models would be my Dakkalith.



then, there is of course the hero of my ogre pirate army: mad black belly McClaw

and my nurgel possessed:


I'll soon put up more

Mine is my Avatar

then post pictures

If I had a picture, it would be myself about now, having seen some of the above stuff.  I'm a nice shade a envious green with several washes of Jealous drool.

That's why I posted my stuff, so people can see it and say, "At least I can paint better than that!".

hopefully more of an inspiration than intimidation!

Share more guys!

And yet again my work is put to shame... *skulks in darkness & sobs*

I hate you Anung--I was drinking dew while scrolling through this site & noticed the ork with the lego guns. Now my nose hurts... but it's still hilarious. Love it!

it's playmobil actually, but thank you, nonetheless.

I'll try to post more soon...

Ok, I am about to shame myself with not only a merely decent picture of Cannoness Camomile the Mild, but also my first attempt at posting a pic.

She looks great Wehrkind, I really like her face. She actually looks female unlike most SoB paint jobs I've seen. Reminds me a little of Leloo from the Fifth Element.

I also hope she is about to take to that pink tank with the Inferno pistol ^^ just kiddin'

Usi

Hehe thanks I have been trying to really get the girls looking like girls, not transvestites. I will get around to posting the rest... I have been largely successfull, though the Inquisitor looks a little like Laurel from Laurel and Hardy. Black eyebrows were a BAD idea. The Barbie Dream Rhino is a friend of mine's named Death Quaker. She is a really good painter, I just don't know how I feel about her color pallette
I did a lot of freehand work on her cloak too, you just can't see it in this pic.

I will post my old Dirz diorama that i sold recently and i miss it on my display.

Unpainted i have lots of bugs i like^^

Actually yeah, I do see Leloo in there! Nice work Wehrkind, her hair is especially nice.

Also, that pink tank is total sex. My unnatural urge to make a pink army is returning, and what with orks just around the corner ......


O_O

- Salvage

EDIT: My face just exploded at all those Dirz pics, yowza.

Hehe thanks Salvage. I can give you her number; she might be willing to sell the tank
Now that you mention it, it really is starting to remind me of Leloo (which is good, she was superbly sexy in that film.) The hair actually isn't all that hard to do; after 30 odd girls with different colors I have figured out a decent assembly line process.

Those Dirz are just staggering. I am glad I got my pic in just before, so at least people bothered looking at it! Those non-metalic metals are just excellent, and I adore the subtle patterns on the cloaks! Following those lovely bits, I would expect something like "Well Wehrkind, the primer you applied isn't too clumpy, I guess."

Navarro: wouldn't it be funny if your buyer posted those same pics as *their* favorite model?

Funny? Practically required!

There are not nearly enough Dreadnaughts in this thread:

/Users/Vann/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2007/Roll 33/000_0001_2.JPG/Users/Vann/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2007/Roll 34/000_0007_2_2.JPG/Users/Vann/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2007/Roll 51/000_0001_2.JPG

Vespasian: Sadly, you cannot directly post pictures from your computer online. They have to be hosted somewhere first. Very soon, you will be able to attach those pictures directly from your computer into the thread on Dakka and we'll basically host your pictures for free. Until then, you need to upload your pictures to a hosting site (like flickr or photobucket) and then link to those pictures from there.

 

"Navarro: wouldn't it be funny if your buyer posted those same pics as *their* favorite model? "

I hope so  If we look into it, well they are not mine anymore.

This is a test paint scheme for my genestealers.  I have some changes that I will do to the final ones, mostly handle the red joint areas with a little more care.  I am stoked to get going on these guys later this Winter.

Navarro - lovely work man, so subtle and beautifully blended and shaded.

Xenite - nice stealer! Personally, I think the joints at the wrists should just be the same color as the exposed muscle on the forearm, because right now the wrists draw way too much attention. The mouth area picked out with red really works though, since the face wants to be such a focal point.

Posted By GrimTeef on 11/01/2007 8:53 AM
Personally, I think the joints at the wrists should just be the same color as the exposed muscle on the forearm...

or (IMHO) vice-versa: the wrist color added to the exposed muscle to add a little more visual interest to all that green. He's a beauty though.

Dreadnoughts, ey? well I got this here. I always thought, when the space marines in there are really hurt that much, why even bother keeping the body

Did you just make a model of KRANG?

Not badly painted, but oi...

Hey, I quite like this figure. Isembard Kickass Brunel. I sculpted and painted him.

Also, are vehciles allowed? If so, I enjoyed painting the verdigris an the Mantrain...

Wait wait wait...you sculpted the IKB figure o.o?

Hello. I guess I have to post this guy and his missus here. It's old as heaven, but one of my favorite pieces.

-=Edit=- This is a family-friendly board, and sexual pictures like this are not allowed. Thank you. - Iorek

/T

Tube: I remember when that was first posted is that the original one that was done? Or are there a few rip offs of it I recall seeing one with a helmet on maybe a WIP? Model still doesn't get old. Nice job.



Probley my favorite.

Close second from when I was 14.



Wish I never sold the army and just completed them and kept them was turned off about the no more turtle army for SOB in 4rth Ed (These were from the book/Chapter Approved 2001 area).

This is my scratch built deathwatch librarian. Im a terrible painter, but I love to take pieces from everything and mash em together

a few of my faves (that I've got round to photographing) -

My all-time favorite model so far that I've painted--




Fist of Gudrun The start of potentially a Steel Fury Company attached to my dang near 5000 points of Guard(The infantry are still all WIP, the Sentinels are 6/13 done, 0/10 of the Leman Russes are done).

Just a "simple" Veteran Sergeant.

tube wrote:-=Edit=- This is a family-friendly board, and sexual pictures like this are not allowed. Thank you. - Iorek

Whereas pictures of extreme violence, (half-naked) daemons and severed heads are just fine?

Gotta live by the rules I guess. Sorry for the offending image.

/T

It makes me sad to read so many people have sold such beatiful models.

Yes. The topic of this forum is Wargaming. Most specifically, we focus on GW products. War, as a subject involves extreme violence and decapitations when time permits. Daemons, a staple of Chaotic armies are notorious for their love of nudity despite our despite attempts to force some sort of clothing on them.

Sexual pictures don't quite fit into this theme and directly cross the very generous line we've established on content around here.

Frothers Unite UK, however, are a miniatures forum that loves graphic sexual references. Go check them out.

As for Dakka- please keep the sexual references down to veiled at best.

a few of my not so recent works:


great gargant in all his red glory

deciever was part of a commission i did a year or so ago.

My Fave also is my Baneblade and Heroic Senior Officer:

Drake_Marcus wrote:As for Dakka- please keep the sexual references down to veiled at best.

Will do. I'll try to post some other favorites when surfing from home.

It just never ceases to amaze me what is thought as inappropriate. An imaginatively positioned daemonette with a champion - I do have to point out that there's absolutely nothing explicitly sexual in the picture under discussion - verus half frontal nudity expressed by a lone daemonette (versus some gore-splattered or rotting followers of some other powers). Cultural differences I guess.

What comes to Frothers, they do seem to have a larger scope, but I'm not too fond of the language use there...


/T

Dave, for some reason that Deceiver makes me think of Robin Williams. Which is fairly upsetting, and I don't know why.

I also can't believe you didn't post the 4 foot (insert superlative here) Gargant you made. I am thinking we should use him as terrain for a Kill Team "Oh God! Destroy the reactor on that thing NOW!" mission.

My Big Mek is my favorite and I never leave home without him in my Army List.

really love that orc - no wonder you always use him - good, clean & simple paint job (not a critism btw) which makes him really easy on the eye - got any more?

I'm not exactly in the same league as some of the other painters on here but here are a couple of pics of minis I like that survived the voyage overseas.


Tau Human Auxilliaries, and my first attempt at blending paint.


Two of my favorite Crisis Suits, including a squad leader with a drone controller on his forearm. I'm obviously not where I want to be with blending yet, but I feel it went better here.

May as well embarass myself and put up some piccies, something I normally avoid doing. Most of my stuff never gets finished, theres always some details I never seem to get round to finishing.

The dark gray marines were an attempt to do some green stuff - something that i'm not good at. I put some basic cloaks on the back of them, which you can see between the legs. Its not so much the cloaks I like (some came out ok, some didn't), but for what was meant to be a quick paint to see how they came out with the cloaks I really liked how they came out color wise.

The chaos marine I like for some unknown reason.

The waveserpent (not completed since forever) I like just cos its the only vehicle I've ever managaed to get looking anything like half decent. Actually thinking about it I've got a chimera somehwhere that I was pleased with as well. The pathfinders, also not complete, I'm liking. Nice models.

Then some Ogres, I liked the way they came out.

What a cool thread.
Here's a true-scale Iron Hand.


My Arch Magos....


Cpl Saint, an AT-43 engineer.


Lamb's World Ogryns.


One of da Bloo Toof Boyz.

Hmm i have a few things

Fist some old stuff
a cople old F-90 gundam models that won me some awards and were a chore to paint(especialy the german cammo)
the F-90 long range variant.

and one of the variant enemy moble suits i forgot the designation on-


Here are a few reaper minis my wife and i used for D&D games.

Once i get my GK strike cruisers for gothic i will post those as well.

I was pretty pleased with this:



Moderately pleased with this:



And for a few years back at the end of 3rd edition: This was my best painted miniature ever:



My painting skills have actually degraded a lot from non-use. I need to practice to get back to where I was a few years back. Still. It is nice to post in a thread amoungst the painting giants.

Mines my beastie:

I'm partial to these:








And pretty much anything out of my Deadites section http://www.lordofthebean.com/TZ/TZ.htm
Yeah, I know I need to work on my bases some more.
I'm not saying they're great or anything, they're just my favorite.

A selection from my Tau and Orks:

Assorted killa kans (3 of 9)



One of my earliest major conversions and probably the most ambitious at the time (ie , it put more then one model in danger of being destroyed)



My favorite paint job



The most recent addition to my orks, and my favorite model

Models huh?






Hey... They are resin and come in many parts. Thus models.

hehehe.

Ok, hozibout something table top related.

@Jayden63 - I think it's so funny when you can see nipples through armor. I love Anime.

hey, who says those girls aren't "table-top" related HARHARHAR

Hey, Batman in Batman and Robin movie had nipples....

Ohh wait. What was my point?

Anung Un Rama wrote:hey, who says those girls aren't "table-top" related HARHARHAR

Oh you little scamp!

this is my inquisitor lord he is my favorite converted model.



comments are welcome

warzonekos wrote:comments are welcome

Ok, your pictures are to big and makes my browser sad.

Cool Inquisitor!
I made two guys yesterday using the same legs. And one will be my inquisitor. Funny coincidence.
Did you bulk out his torso? or did you leave it the same?

love that axeplsma thingy. but chopped of heads on bases look dumb in 95%of all cases

Umm.

Two decades of painting so there are numerous favourite models but this has to be the one at the moment...



And here's the greens:



Quite embarrassing to post here after seeing all the outstanding stuff people do...

Your Cthulu model looks great. But what is Cthulu? This question has been bugging me for forever.

Thanks for the link Pake. I never think of obvious things like such as using wikipedia.

that's my favorite model so far. followed closely by my old sauron, but. that's mainly just a favorite for reasons of being made of inherent bad:censored:

Le Gads!!! Is it Back lit!?!?!? Amazing. Love the 'Cron Work.
My favorite model has to be....my Cannoness for the SoB WH!

Sorry 'bout the HORRIBLE Photo-fu. Still learning.
(I guess taking a Photo class but only learning 35mm Manual SR Cameras in Black and White is NOT helpful in Digital photos!)

My favorite. Sadly I do not have him any more, so sorry for the horrible photos. I converted him up right when the plastic Space Marine Dread came out.

Here's my version of this classic sculpt, hope you like.

very good paintjob you did there.

Although I'd like to go back and touch-up some parts of him, this guy is probably my best work.


UGH, why do I only notice some mould lines *AFTER* he's been painted? ><

I think the reason this is my favourite is because I finished her really quick. I spend too long on most of my models and end up with hardly any done, but due to me painting her for a mini-exchange I had to do it quickly and I actually enjoyed it. The only problem is that I had to then give her away!

Also I kind of like my bloodthirster

 

HOLY
CRAP
It's Terrorgasm the Unholy, destroyer of Senci VI and chosen champion of the Blood God!

Arkion, that's really good weathering and detail on that Marine. I'd like to see how you weather vehicles. Got any to post?

Thank you!

The force I run is currently all infantry. I am adding a dreadnaught, though, I'll post pics when it's complete. He's assembled and base coated, so some time this week he should be ready.

hehehe.

I can play that game. Sort of...


Thats my anime models, and DVDs. A small collection. Big for this part of the world though. Stuff like this is very hard to get by here... Not really the resin models that you have (Mine are normal plastic PVC I think.). Wish I could get stuff like that.

This sergeant is probably one of my favourites, rigth now. As its is my first succesfull greenstuff thing (The Shemag he is wearing.). Normaly when I try using greenstuff, it ends in disaster...
I can kill with Greenstuff.

I just wanted a tech marines with to much work to do and thus the needed arms came into to play. Its only fitting that now or should I saw the new rules for tech marines with servo harnes.


I made this guy back in 94 when I first started to module with my marines. Fabius bile, Tech marine, Termy, DE head. I plan to go back and strip him and repaint him when I find the time. As of now I have had to work to do with the guard and have yet to get back to my vow that I made on finishing up my marines. I going to wait till the new codex comes out before I finish them up.

were these all works of dakka members?

smart_alex wrote:were these all works of dakka members?

Indeed they are!

These two Fairy Meat minis are great. 1/1 Scale Minis, in their natural environment:



This guy won me a competition just a little while back:





This bad boy is also a favorite. Jason Hendrix (the sculptor) is my hero.


My wife converted this bad boy. I painted him pretty quick, but he won a No Quarter competition!


This Inquisitor won me another competition... I guess I'm mostly posting those today, aren't I?



I've got more angles of each of these on my website (signature). And I might have more favorites too...

odinsgrandson, that Trollkin whatever-it-is is fantastic. The quartz-blue colour scheme really makes it look like he grew out of rock or vice versa. Do you have a thread somewhere dedicated to him and the techniques you used? I'd love to read it.

My fallen nurgle lord is tops right now.

Some of mine:

Farseer


Glowy Warmachine Thingie:


Lylyth:

Oooh. I remember that bane thrall when you first posted him up. Very nice

GMMStudios, please have my babies. For serious.

I'm just going to sit here for another hour or two and drool over the blues (and white) of your farseer. Bravo.

My current favorites are my Epic Nids

Man, it's hard to choose favorites... I like them all!

However, here's a few that rank highest.



A Tzeentch Sorcerer, one of my first Chaos models I converted and painted.



Inquisitor Scale... thought it would be a cool mini.



Converted Zoanthrope.



Kinda converted Hive Tyrant. Just plain happy with the paint job.



A Slaanesh Warrior I painted up recently.



My beloved Big Mek and one of my favorite Tankbustas.



Kremble da Krazy & Bonemuncha! My scratch-built Cave Squig made from a Kinder Surprise chicken toy, some 'Nid bits, and LOTS of green stuff...

Nice stuff Goremaul. I like especially the Zoanthrope (very Alien), the armour on the Slanneshi Warrior, and that crazy Tooth Squig.

Hi, I'm new here but thought I'd join in if that's ok!

Only have 1 pic on my work's pc, but it happens to be a favorite so I'll post my High Elf Mage

EDIT: ok, how do I put a pic up? I can't get it to work! Anyway - it's the pic under my name!

This is such a nice thread. Keep them comming.

/\
2002 Deathwing Dread. Sold at a GW auction at the GW store out here in AZ before it closed.


/\
Karandras, sold at same auction.



/\
Favorite 40k Commission


/\
Favorite WHFB unit commission. 2003


/\
Second favorite.


/\
Favorite personal army model


/\
Entire unit.

Very cool dread, beautiful 'nids.

Now we have a new thread like this going on - maybe we should do a pinned dakka thread with "rules" everyone's fave piece - which they can edit if they want later?

Nah, have an article instead.

Should have posted this guy back when... oh well.

Awesome minis in this thread! Headkeepa, that warboss is incredible. Nice diorama with him too.

Grimteef - as much as I love your Orks, your Storm Hawks are classics with me!

My Trygon is my fav atm! Great look from a simple conversion

Woah, nice Trygon Delkins42.
Some fine models here!

Ma Squigz, love the things!!!

Recently repainted the ugly yellow one orange, looks alot better but can't be bothered taking a new picture!

at the moment this is my favorit model


bdw he is looking side way's whit boote eye's most of the time I put him next to the roket laucnher of his squad en tel peaple thet he is thinking wtf is that idiot doing.

Grimteef, any chance on a another pic of that guy? I'd really like a good view of the plasma pistol conversion.

These are from my Vampire Count Army. The Grave Guard Standard is my favorite thus far. I have a couple of Deamon Hunter models I received honorable mention at a couple of local compititions I will post when I get pics of them!

Lormax, I added a third pic up there so you can get a look at the weapon. it's supposed to be a combination force weapon/thunder hammer.

My most time-intensive model to date, and my only golden demon entry to make the final cut, so he'll be a keeper:

I haven't painted a 40K model in a while, But this guy fits into the fantasy scheme of things... sorta. He takes me back to my Clan War days. The first figs I ever painted were Samurais.




More pics of him can be found here.

http://www.pbase.com/jayden63/nonscale_samurai_warrior

These are all my favorite conversions. It was difficult picking them as I convert a lot. But if you've read any of my threads, you already know that.


From the fantasy world, It's one of my ogre butchers. Edit2: Disregard previous edit


From my 40k infantry, it's my sergeant from my soon to be made 'ratlings' squad.


Until I get a decent picture of the whole model, it's my demolisher turret.


And finally, it's the Squat Marine. He's eventually going to have white armor, for obvious reasons.

yah it figures I would have to post these ones on page five...





















not the best pictures but hey I am still learning to use my camera.

Oaka! That shaper is incredible! Awesome conversion and paint on him, he really feels like an individual, a great leader. You've really inspired me in ways to work on my own Kroot.

some more of mine using links instead of piccies!

Nice work! It is funny that one of the symbols is also a Dark Eldar emblem.

which one?

all of these models are fantastic. i have only been painting a short time but soon i will display my Iyanden host i guess

This is my current favorite. After seeing delkins42 paint scheme I was inspired to try something similar. I modified it a bit and I really liked the results.

Death By Monkeys wrote:Grimteef - as much as I love your Orks, your Storm Hawks are classics with me!

Agreed - though I must admit this is the first time I've seen any. I think!

So, some questions:

1) How did you make that helmet?

2) Any place where I can see some more of your Marines?

Thanks!

These are just my commanders but iv displayed my whole army if anyone cares.

Happy to keep this thread going

So I take it it doesn't have to be your own

I had thought it had to be your own, but if you've got a favorite painter you'd like to salute, go ahead.

This thread is brilliant. Keep up the good work everyone.

Dark Eldar emblem

Random ork in mega armour i have, got bored so i thought it would be fun to re-paint what was a checkered jaw plate when i got back from the pub 1 night lol

Here's one of mine. Not my favourite, for he is not part of any of my armies, but I love him too much to sell him

Nice stuff lads! Oaka, brilliant shaper!!

My current own fave is in my Avatar



See the full blog in the P&M Blogs.

Holy crap misgula I want that fig for an inquisitor!

My favorite pieces overall:




favorite 40k figure first time I used my force weapon skills after watching a cumulative 12+ hours of miniature mentor videos:

this has gotta be my fave

this one is one of my favourites, but i sold it on ebay :( it went for more than i expected though so happy about that

WOW...

Compared to what's being posted here, my stuff sucks royally.

Well, here's my favorite nonetheless...

So THAT'S what the drummer from Def Leppard replaced his arm with!

my turn









http://wash-away.deviantart.com/

so much talent on these boards, awesome stuff.
Here are my two favorites I have done recently

There are some really amazing models in this thread, that Jump pack librarian is great (want!.. or need to make..). Here are my current favorites, my conversions of the AOBR Nobs.

Current Favorite


#2


and the Squad

here is my templar captain. hope the link works
sample of the basic trooper

Just a little something winged and wicked.

Some really nice models nice work

Since the thread also said that you could post your favourite models that aren't actually yours, I might as well. Possibly one of the best 54mm scale modelers, is Kaled from the-conclave.com
Here's a link to his stuff, it's hard not to be blown away.

This stuff is awesome

This is my favourite model of mine, cept I gave him away with most of my 40k gear.. oh well.

Atm I think this is mine which was painted for a local online paintcontest. I named it "Bronze Bollocks". Bronze for it's bronze corroded armour (well my attempy to make it look that way ) and Bollocks for having the guts to fly around with a jetpack like he has

Probably my fav;

I've only painted about fifteen models so far, so I'm not that great yet, but...

Here's my first painted big shoota boy: Not done with him, but I like him


Here's my first nob:


And a Krisis Suit:

Hey all.. I know these arnt painted, I have far more love for the conversion than the painting. But I thought I might add a couple pics of stuff I have made. I thnk I have shown them off before but i cant remember.

Marine Librarian





War Alter

Um... this stuff is amazing... I was going to post some of my stuff... but now?

NO... I will not shame myself like this

My pathetic favourite.

My favourite model at the moment, seen as its the first and only model i've posted so far on dakka.



Some great work on here guys, keep it up.

Hmmm... so many awesome models... almost embarrassed to post mine...

But here we go...

I need to take a better picture that shows this little guy's shading better... but for some reason I've always loved this little Night Gobbie:



And my chariot:



My Baneblade that took forever:



A Carnifex converted to stand tall...

I'm finally coming back to the hobby after losing a case full of painted minis and "shutting down" for a few years... it'll take me some time before I have anything new that's worth showing off, but here are some of my favorites from way back when... luckily none of THESE were lost.

Did this for a local painting contest... it's intended as a display piece only, really.


One of my favorite big models:


And something that was intended as a centerpiece for my Eldar, but is now mainly just a display piece (it's a little unwieldy to pack, and honestly looks a little out of place next to lots of weedy little guys):

It's some very tough picks indeed... but here are my top 5:

My Blood angel lord is probably my favourite model. He has an really angry look

My current favourites have to be the xmas Gobbos of Warboss Grinch's festive WAAAAGH! Who are so festive they can only be seen through crap webcamtacular pictures!

well hes not mine but hes one of my favs

@ Delemon

Could you tell me what bitz you used to make #2... the arms look great love the double handed look.

This guy was my first Marine...for the SM army I've been very slowly getting together over the past couple years.


'Bring you child to work day'. Not painted great and not even finished but one of my favorite conversions just 'cause I have a tendancy to do silly conversions.



Another one w/o a great paint job but just love the model...I play him as a Junior officer and he's one of my models with the highest survival rate.



I like the picture more than the actual paint jobs/models for this one...

I like how this one turned out...one of my first Bretonnians

All of Nids' coolness in one model:



Don't mess with him!



Awesomeness unified:

This is one of mine, my Ironclad Dread.

It's like 2 weeks I have a new favourite... oh well...

Fafnir wrote:It's like 2 weeks I have a new favourite... oh well...

mabye its your fav becuase the other one was somebody elses

i like this one :x

That is a great Ironclad. I might have to steal that idea.

Currently, mine are these:

One of my Fav Simpler Conversions. Based off Eldrad as my on craftworlds Farseer.Still havent finished painting him yet but soon will also be rebasing in the near future.

Valhallan I love the marine with the wings. What do you use that model for in game?

here are mine:

Hard too choose, almost all my models are my favorites , that’s the disadvantage of not building much I guess.


I like this one because it’s one of the first I ever painted and it’s a matrix fly-by shooting gaunt.


This one was a true exercise in exaggerating size, as is good for orks. It was also a very hard model to build, not because it was a difficult build, but more because I have trouble making things as chaotic as orks, I like neatness ;P
It comes with the obliged cigar smoking ork (cigar still needs to be made, just like his co-driver in a hammock)


These two I like very much as well, because of the extra detail bits I tried to put in the bionics. They aren’t really done yet. The left marine’s bionics might get some armoured plating.


And the last one, a non-40K miniature, converted from a 1:12 starcraft space marine to this Royal Infantryman in Ares Armour of the British Galactic Commonwealth.

Beork

Beork i love the marine conversions

my fav is the termi chaplin ill post some pics of him soon

My latest take on Teh Spase Emporer!

scruw the empora he is a pile of old half mechanical tissue

all prise the Omissah and may his glory overpower the "empora" mwa ha ha haaaa

Oh wow I can't believe someone posed one of mine
I mean sure it was a fun gag and all but now I just feel flattered.

i like the use of the necron warrior head on the hq.

lol these are my favorite models at the moment

So far

Blood Raven commander for me:

Here are a few models from my army. They aren't great, but I take pride in the things I've painted.




This falcon is actually one of the very first models I painted. Technically its not done since I haven't really painted the cockpit, but I really like how it turned out.


This wraith lord is one of my absolute favorite models.


And some of my wraith guard units.

I know these units aren't great as I haven't really learned any blending or inking techniques, but considering my current skill level they are pretty good overall.

This is an older model of mine (as the painting is sub-par, lol) but he is stall on of my favourites.



and

This is my new favorite after last night

Nice Falcon, Axyl. I'm not much of a fan of Wraithlords, but Wraithguard are some of my favorite models.

Is that freehand on the standard, Shep?

all hail blood ravens there awesome and look cool

V0ldem0r7 wrote:

No. GW sculpted raised detail on that particular banner.

First off... WOW!!! There is some incredible models on here!

Here is me old boss. Sadly his Boss Pole broke while in storage. Painted around '00 or '01 I think. Probably be a nob now. Dark photo is with flash (yeah, weird huh) to show shading better.

Always loved the Vostroyan models, haven't seen many vostroyans painted as welll as that before.

Ork Boss was pretty dark and grimy looking with rusty armour - old school style. Not bad

'Cyrus here, clearing the path' BR.

This is a recent diorama with some ork kommandos

That scorcha is cool. I think I like the flames on it

Nice flame highlights on the minis, don't like the flame effect though, the tongues look a bit thick.
And is that Ork behind the Nob trying to backstab him?

mmm crispy, nice flames, and good lighting effects.

Lovin the diorama, but the flame effect just doesn't do the rest of the diorama justice.

Mine pales in comparison:

Guardsman in foxhole!

Here is mine my second favorite present from my brother but my fave model

My witchhunter inquisitor Lord.

here's another one. It's my Thraka HQ buildind

Wow... Some of my stuff doesn't even get in the running with these guys.

Maybe I'll post some pics of the Predator I'm working on when it's done.

Blitz Backlash, how tall is that building?

Woah, is that like the huge rocket ship, statue thing that the orks built and had a huge battle over whether it was Gork or Mork?

looks awesome!

TERMINATOR CHAPLIN!

my very first model

My first Sterngaurd.

What do you mean 'because the other one was somebody elses?'

All the models I've posted are my own.

It's like 19" tall, the inner structure is a bunch o pvc pipe with 90's and 45's then just a bunch of brass tubing, poster board, GW bits, plastic bits, and lots of stokededness.

You can find it on ebay too

It's got 5 platforms with catwalk and zipline access

here's another one out of the set of 9

My favourite 'Nid

It has to be inbetween my Landraider for my berserkers and my mounted demonettes for fantasy, which sadly I don't use anymore. My camera-fu needs work. So does my edit-fu; I can't figure out how to resize them other than cropping and that can only go so far.

thalor

I've got a new favourite now. It's another tank commander, which, while seeming to be a relatively simple build, took absolutely ages due to me continually searching for the perfect bit.


The hat looks better in the picture than it does in real life. The hand holding the cigar is from a hand that's just fired an arrow, from the militia sprue.

(If the photo appears the wrong way up, then there's something weird with photo bucket)

This is my favourite Dreadnought. I still need to do a few touch-ups on the back though...

Perhaps my most favourite models are The Hrud overseer (a big, fat, rat with boosted IQ) and The Hrud avatar... Also I kind of like my bloodthirster.

 

 

you gotta tell me where you got this bloodthirster from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its not up to some of the standards here, but this guy is my favourite. i just really like how the pose and look has worked out.
anyway here he is:

this guy

It doesn't say favorite model you've painted, so I'm tossing in my favorite unpainted model, a 100% scratch-built original sculpt;

SQUIG-ZILLA......






You can see more pics of the big guy HERE: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/230668.page

I'm becoming more of a tread head by the day! My current favourite is my conqueror LRBT. I like the red on the gun!

I guess I'll finally bite on this thread - some great stuff here by the way.

I like me old Butcher of Khardov:

My Iron Guard Robots & Grots are my favourite models




You can see more of my robot models in my Mechanicus production log: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/228258.page

these are some brill minis i like xv8s

Heres a few of my More recent favorites( all done in the last year or so)

Gasp! Are those Reaper figs?

Could be used as necron lord guess which count as rez orb lol

For something that utterly awesome, it doesn't need to be painted. In fact, you should probably post it in a thread of its own just to receive gratuitous amounts of praise and awe. If you haven't already.

lalabox, feel Seconded.

By far my most time consuming project!




And another that utilized a wet blend that I am quite happy with

wow

In the immortal words of Shaggy. ZOINKS!

God damn this is a thread of WIN!!!

PS - post MOAR TAU XD

Awesome work everyone!

My favorite thus far:

I hope this isn't too much of a res. post, but I thought I would throw in my chappy since I cannot have a game without him (or his larger terminator honors version, coming soon)!

It is fair to say that this is very badly painted, as I painted it about 4 times (obscuring detail) about 5years ago. However he is still on of my favourite models- disco pose Marneus!

jackinthetank wrote:It is fair to say that this is very badly painted, as I painted it about 4 times (obscuring detail) about 5years ago. However he is still on of my favourite models- disco pose Marneus!

My favorite is most definitely my Gunfex. No pics, unfortunately, he got put in storage when I moved.

Nothing wrong with falling in love with Eldar. New favourites every week for me, it seems. It's annoying, that's for sure.

My old Scythes of the Emperor Librarian, the precursor to my Tyrannic modifications of power armor in projects to come.





Based on artwork by Mark Gibbons, I believe, possibly ol'Jes himself.

Fifth Company Senior Librarian Adreon, survived the fall of Sotha alongside two dozen other Sothan brothers. During their long guerilla war to discover the most effective methods to defeat Tyranids, he took up the reading of near dead xenomorphs to begin to inure himself to the power of the hive mind. This soon led to readings from live, restrained specimens. In this case he has since developed a technique to sustain the remains of a Hormagaunt, to attune his mind to that of the Hive they encounter. This ability offers some foresight to the Scythes, alerting them to discovery if scouting Sleeper ships, or from ambush in the field.

So far, Adreon seems fine, if a little taxed by each use. But the Scythes have long learned that the Tyranid are not to be trifled with, even by the most experienced, casting a wary eye over their Psyker.

~ Tael.

WOW Tael! that most be one of the cooolest librarian i have ever seen!! Got some more pics of it? or/and some pics of more of your models in the same army? and how dod you make his staff? and what parts you used? i think the staff head is from a fantasy chaos choosen standardbearer right?

//JF

Thanks Jahfyan, I'll PM you details.

~ Tael.

AirborneAnto your nid is friggin SWEET! it looks kind of like a locust.

Shas'el that librarian is possibly the nicest Ive ever seen. nice work

My Big Mek. So shiny.

New favourite still w.i.p.

All this stuff looks really good. I'm a newbie to the forum but I just thought this would be ok for this thread.

It's my empire general, who is essentialy a brutalized/fantasy-ised Ursakar Creed.

Nice work. That's a great use of Creed.

This is my NEWEST favorite model!

This:


First GW mini I've done in literally years, discounting my friend's Baneblade. Really enjoying it, though it needs some tweaking.

OK, I'll bite..

If I had to pick one favourate, it would have to be my Alpha Legion Chaos Lord:





ps. migsula, what parts did you use for your 40K Cherubael conversion?

This is a Terminator from my flame themed Marine army. It is hard to tell from the photos, but all the flames are raised off the model, not just color painted on.

Nice termie.

it has fire

That Termi looks awesome, how did you do the raised flames?

This thread makes me want to spend a lot of time on a single model... I think that will happen once I finish my Tzeentch army (shameless plug: click the link in my sig + read it!)

There's some seriously outstanding paintings in this thread... very good inspiration!

This was one of my first major conversions/paintjobs.

Its an old and tortured soul but still my favorit and will probably always be.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3582/3407127427_97c978e303_b.jpg

It may not be that good, but I try.

Is the termie Legion of the Damned?

My favorite is one of my tau which has never been used in a game since hes alone with out a squad i might post pictures, i used the body and legs of the tau you get with the tanks but moved the hair to the back and put some stuff on the backpack i also gave him some "count as" grenades which where cut from some crisis guns,i like him since he was my first try at makeing a urban tau which wasnt in standard colours(i like the tau standard colours do you have a ploblem with that).

so many spelling mistakes.......
too much bad grammar..........
Gah! Gah!! Splurgh!!!

Here's my fav. model:



(Commander with the hammer and lightning claw in the middle)
Very simply converted but effective, the pose, the fact that he stares you right in the eye with the "you're next"-look, hammer down, is something I'm really proud of

Agemann1 wrote:Is the termie Legion of the Damned?

No, Terminators can't be Legion of the Damned. Anything heavy on flames makes people think Legion of the Damned, but it is just my paint theme. Note the distinct lack of skulls and bones that true Legion of the Damned would have!

Get that thing cast and sold....

NOW!

Agreed

here are some of mine. pics are far from good, but will serve.







and a few unpainteds...

Get those big daemon things painted! They look amazing!

This guy is my favourite model at the moment, although I have a few other sculpts in the making that could change that!




Stuart

Like I said about the squig above...this one should be cast too!

Mine is the first model ive ever done. It might not be eavy metal standard but i like it

heres mine, its now based, but i havent the time to photograph it.

This thread is pretty darn inspiring. Here are a few of my own (I'm not the best painter but I love doing crazy conversions)

Metal Hate!



And some plague marines


And Nurgle loves da tanks.

I've been a long time lurker and am a new poster here. You folks are amazing when it comes to painting and modeling!
I'll give it a shot with my recent mock up of Guardsman Marbo. Nothing amazing but I'm happy with it.



My friend took the photo for me and atm its the only one I have.

My favorite looks like crap compared to some of the ones on here, but here he is:
