hats off to all of you amazing painters and converters.

here are some of my fave models:

my firedragons - sadly i never took pics once they were done and they were sold, though these are close to one, and probably my best painted models so-far



my truescale world eater marines, with normal GW marine for scale

Wow, love those Marines, so full of character!
They make the GW Marines look like.. babies.
How did you make them?
Cheers!

/Leaf

thanks to be honest theyre a bit big, though i hate the gW ones theyre meant to be 7-8ft tall monsters in armour, yet theyre shorter than cadians!

theres a link to a tutorial in my sig if youre interested

They're not too big for me. The bigger they are, the meaner they look.
And, I didn't notice your sig, since I was distracted by your pics.
Thanks /Leaf

I thought I had deleted any pics I had of this Ghazghull that I sold on ebay last year. I had him sat in a box where I had left him semi-painted so I decided to finish him. I hadn't touched a brush for a few years and found my eyesight and fine control had gone to pot but I was quite pleased with the final result. I almost kept him for sentimental reasons but I no longer hear the call of The Waaaagghh and the figure went to someone who would use it.

Warcaster Ashlynn

and her Mardauder

poor guy never got finished, but the head was salvaged.. and I've decided i'll do an actual-scale version of him soon.

@ vorropohaiah - the eldar look awesome , but those marines look even sweeter .

My favorite Chosen.

Mine you can't have him.
Read the link in my sig the thread is locked but we endure.
For the turtle and the pie

Here is my favorite thus far, my MotF with converted conversion beamer (tehe) that I did recently using the techmarine from the techmarine with servitors set, a couple of plasma rifles, a hunter killer missile, and some old speaker wire.

Hope it looks good

Edit: fixed description

This is my favorite model, i haven gotten around to painting the little bugger yet though.

this is my general of my daemonhunters (pure GK)

Here is my favorite so far.

Putting us all to shame...

well, thats just too good, how long you been painting for?

My previous post in this thread was about two years ago, so here's my newest favorite model:


"Last of the Time Lords"

its been said before but its soo true, these pics put my models to shame.
heres my nickle anyway

one of mine from ages ago when I put effort in..

Those World eaters are awesome, checking out that tutorial next.

Ill put up sum pics but its rlly nice to see painted models, christ me and a couple other guys are the only people tht hav fully painted armies at my local gw great work guys!

my terminator captain, with a couple of his buddies.

Heres mine to date:

DOOOM!!!

Here is my personal fav.

Everyting here is looking just to cool!

I'm not sure about mine, I think it may have to be the Living Saint model I painted as part of a mini-exchange (so I no longer own her ). Took me three days, which is incredibly fast by my standards - I did put quite a few hours into her mind.

my greenstuffed robe Lord Grimgor
there we go got it up(still in progress)

My favourite model so far would have to be this guy. He's going to be a platoon commander in my IG army.

Nice... very John Wu!

i rather like how my warboss turned out

Nice stuff here guys
good jobs

Whoa, that Dreadnought looks awesome, the paint job is amazing!

One of my favourites (I don't have a camera though, sorry) is a converted Rhino for my Plague Marines. It started out life as a Predator Annihilator, but when I ditched Marines I wrecked it and used it as a burned-out wreckage (for scenery). Later on, I realised I could salvage it so I removed the turret, padded up the holes in the hull with armour plating, and began converting it.

To date it has Tyranid Ravener arms (Scything Talons) growing from the hull (one at the front, 2 on the side and 1 at the rear), wire which needs Green Stuff molding to to form tentacles, Rippers bursting from the hull (meant to represent an infection), and the entire hull is riddled in holes, sores and a thick coating of Tamiya 'Smoke' paint (which makes it look slimy )

I love it, but it needs a lot more work.

I have many favorites, when people have asked me I always have problems narrowing it down. So here are a few of mine:

First actual post of my work on Dakka - hope you guys dig em:

lovely

Counts as vulkan, traded to another dakka member:



Converted GM Sold to a local gamer:



Traded or sold I can't remember:

DEATHBY1000STRINGS - the powerfist you have in your plague marine squad is just pure badass. Where did you get that? Add to that, your squad looks super cool

KingCracker wrote:DEATHBY1000STRINGS - the powerfist you have in your plague marine squad is just pure badass. Where did you get that? Add to that, your squad looks super cool

KING - thats an OK gauntlet/bull fist. glad you dig em - Plague marines are fun as hell to sculpt and piece together from old cruddy SM models I had lying around. Here's another one with same power fist:

My Dark Angels Company Master

Command Squad




my Fav. Tau XV8 Crisis Suit

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.

I like!! also awesome pink tank lol

Forgeworld Chaos Dragon... Still a WIP though :(

My fav is my converted Inquisitor Lord



and a close second is my celestine conversion

Here are some of my favourite minis I have painted over the years.




























Kuffy

Here's 2 of my new favourites:

There are some awesome models in this thread, could I suggest only being able to post a few pictures each next time though? We don't really need an 8 pictures 360 degree view of each model (:
Here's my favourite of mine, so far:

This guy has to be one of my favourites, I usually run him as an engineer at my bolt thower crew. His carrot stew clearly improves the eyesight of the crewmen

My other engineer is also nice:


All in all, I like all the eighties dwarfs.



From 40k, my favourite is my raptor squad. Rebasing made my fingers bleed though Usually complete rubbish on battlefield but I can't leave them out of my armylists.

There is so much amazing work here.

I guess my faves would be:



and





Ghidorah

Is the guy in the last picture having a showdown or is that a tricky mirror

I joke I joke... Im not that dumb... but really... is there a mirror there?

Yup. A mirror. It was for a painting competition at an Origins gaming convention a few years back. I made the little diorama base and, the way he was positioned, you couldn't see him from every angle. Necessity being the mother of invention and all, I decided to plop a mirror in there to show the back and front at the same time.



Ghidorah

Hi,

I now have a recent favourite model

My very own Galactica

My favourite would be my Soloman Lok model and his retinue.

Lok and his three personal guards.



The rest of his retinue. From left to right: Acolyte, Sage, Mystic, Acolyte



"Mystery Marbo"

My favorite model. He was originally going to be a counts-as Marbo for my spec ops army, now he's the voxman for fluff reasons.


I am sorry Custard, I just had to. I'm an incurable smartass.

Rico...

Long time viewer, first time posting. Thought I'd put up some of my stuff to start off my posting. Kinda intimidating looking at some of the killer jobs on this thread, but what the heck. Let me know what you think...

I love the look of the company commander. I always want to see before-and-after painted pictures of stuff like this.

He's sitting a shelf primed and waiting to be painted, but my new ork army keeps sidetrcking me. you guys know how it goes

Automatically Appended Next Post:


My apologies if this comes out as a double post

HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON...ROGUE TRADER CONVERSIONS....

My favourite models.

These are my best conversions as well.

1:35 Ma.K. - Strahl Democratic Republic - TW47 Kröte.

Won me a £170, custom built hunting knife. In an Enviromental Group Build back in '07





So I was pretty pleased with that one.

My favourites so far are:

Librarian in Power Armour


Sternguard with a Power Fist

Some of these models just make me stop and stare. They are amazing

Probably....... a..................... Lord Commisar... I guess...

Inquisitor Lord Karamazov flanked with penitent engines.

this is one of my favourites that i bought at GD UK 2009. it is a practice peice for my 2010 entry.

A couple more of my favourites

My favourite is still my avatar.

First, my new army, Necrons.

I haven't done many yet, but of those (Sorry for the picture quality, or lack thereof):

Necron Warrior:



The Nightbringer:



And from my Space Marines (I know hes supposed to be a blood angel, shaddup :

Hey Sons of Orar, I have seen pics of your work on other forums, and feel these don't do you models enough justice. Great stuff mate.

Awesome stuff Sons of orar.

Unfortunatelly you have no blog I can look at *hint hint*

ANYWAY....

what model is that you posted in the last pic????

Thanks

DC

hey I'm thinking of converting my assault on black reach dreadnought to a chaos one, the only thing is that my dreadnought is panted pretty good (well for me anyway) and I would still like to keep it the way it is, any suggestions

Great looking work guys! Figured I'd throw some of my stuff up!

My Ogryns, fun to do AND they do me a lot of good in my games.



My Veteran Squad was probably the most fun I've had doing my guard, plus when the squad killed a 900 point
Nob squad with Painboy and Warboss with their demolition charge, it doesn't get better than that


And my favorite Leman Russ, first time weathering a tank with sponges as well as using a FW model on a vehicle!

Ahhh no pictures but my Eldar Rangers. Kinda boring models but came out incredibly with one model in particular looking simple yet well painted

My Fave has got to be the madness of a big mek with a shokk attack gun. It's just lunacy!!! Sending snotlings through the warp, only an Ork would come up with that lol

This is my gaming model.

Not much but im happy with how it turned out, bad quality picture doesn't help

"he of many eyes" dp of badass/tzeentch

I like sons of orar's pics I wish I could paint that well

@Jayden63 Were do you buy the first model? The frog one with the sameri chick?

Deathwing all the way

That chaplain dread is beyond amazing!

Any more pics of it?

Damn that's impressive!

I'll be sure to post my version (once painted!) somewhere where it won't run into yours, as yours will surely be putting mine to shame!

What else do you have to share?

You're skill level... it is off the charts!

ok, for my favorite of my own making I must give it to my last dread I made.

I was rather pleased with how this one turned out.

Dan22 wrote:Deathwing all the way

I'm sensing greatness from this one!
Oh, my bad, it's already here! Great work Dan22! It looks astounding!

Here's my favourite one at the moment:

It's a Convict Gunslinger for Malifaux:



More power to the smaller companies!

Don't have anything to show at the moment, but I'm amazed at what you can do. Just finished assembling my first 10 man squad (Dark Angels, obviously), but I can't prime in this cold weather, so I'll get them painted probably in May or sumpthin.

Ok here are some of mine

They aren't so good but whatever...

unpainted

A couple of my latest minis,

^Woah.... Those IG are awesome! Love the paint scheme. Good job!

My faves

FEMALE COMMISSAR! FTW



MY ORKS USE DUCT TAPE!


My conversion that someone on dakka showed me how to make, I thank them so much!



And FINALLY PURE WIN MARINE! (AKA Angry Marine!)

The Commissioner is a little, eh, chesty

^^Now that is one bad ass Space Marine. I love it.

JDM wrote:The Commissioner is a little, eh, chesty

It is a girl so I would hope so.

JDM wrote:The Commissioner is a little, eh, chesty

Yes, that is how she rallies morale without making people wanting to shoot her.

Haha I know right? I would love to have that model.

When your a guardsman there has to be at least some happiness in the universe.

My latest fav:

^That's pretty awesome. Good job.

I know this is just a single guardsman. But I believe he is one of my best works with stock GW bitz. I was going for the guardsman on the last edition codex cover in the back coming up over the rise. Seeing this model in person he is just in such an epic pose that I am scared to paint this model since I feel that I would never do it justice. The lines flow so naturally and the pose just feel so very natural I wish all my models had this simple but elegant look to it. I have a local pro painter in mind to paint him to GD quality. It is a shame that he will be the last guardsman I will own since I do not ever want to collect a horde army after my orks. Well, here he is:

I had some extra bits lying around. Terribad photo, but it gets the important stuff across.



Because what Necron player wouldn't want a squad of Immortals with twin-linked gauss cannons.

I'm liking that rubble, Pipboy101!

ok heres my BA chaplain not the best but definately my fav

i'd stick pics up but i wouldn't know how, there's some great conversions, i love my Looted Basilisk and my best painted model of Big Mek with KFF

My first Ork conversion and so far, most used in gaming.

tankworks wrote:My first Ork conversion and so far, most used in gaming.

OH, MY GOD, blockbuster is run by orks

my Ultramarine conversion of Pedro "Peter" Kantor.... def one of my new favs i put together for my Ultras.

this is also my first conversion.



my fave painted

Wow! I'm new here friends, so hello everyone. I keep coming back to this thread to gaze in wonder at the amazing models you guys are doing. Awesome stuff, just awesome. I'll try to find something worthy to get up here from my collection...

2 of my latest:

Love the inquisitor, great job.

My favorite is my Vostroyan Captain with chainsaw!

It will be when I finish adding damage and paint it

Well, i know I can't even hope to compare to many of these fine, fine models, but these are my favorites:

An Imperial Stormtrooper from i set I bought just to paint. I'm still rather fond of my stormtroopers, even though only use them in apocalypse.


What I believe is my best painted model to date, still not very good:

My whole Hawk Lords army is my favorite model(s) i don't think I can choose just one.

i think my favorite mini would be my unfinished baneblade because of the weathering

Here has been a labor of love and hate....it took a year of online shopping to find all the stuff and so here we are....an original rogue trader army with some new plastic upgrades....

the "Imperial Suns" Chapter.

Jon Touchdown: That afro-marine is mindblowingly awesome!!

I think this might be may fav so far, Wip tho.. I need to grow some patience.

This is my favourite one, after many colour schemes was thought about. Thankfully none of them drybrushed metal!

My favourite model of mine has to be my Skarbrand The Exiled One

^^^ The left arm looks a little wonky

Those crons are delightful!

Mewiththeface wrote:Those crons are delightful!

Thank you. I wanted something that wasn't boring drybrushed metal and something that did not blend into the gameboard as dark Necrons always do. Just need to figure how to do this on the Monolith without it looking too bright.

I'm agreeing with Mewiththeface. Those Necrons are awesome!

Here is my most favourite model of all time-
Epic Flying Squiggoth!!!!

Gutsnagga; Im terrified but really impressed, got any bigger pictures?

Sorry, It is not actually my model, It is just my favourite model, I searched but I couldn't find any more pictures
Sorry

BTW, Here is my best model that I actually made

Hehe, he has a moh-ork.

So true, So true.
I got it off a spawn wing

Mewiththeface wrote:Those crons are delightful!

+1
Loving the smooth color scheme, best necro's ive seen in a while.

My commander - simple and relatively clean :

Can I post a Hasslfree female nude on here? It's definitely my best painted mini but thought I should just make sure it's okay first.

Pretty in pink

My Warboss, Da' Butcha 'uv Bavgad:


I always loved the Tiamat model from AT-43 for it's bio-mechanical "weirdness":


The Cryxian Machine Wraith conversions I did:

My (literally just finished) Vanguard Veteran Sgt.

My thunderhead



my gun mage officer

The IG Sentinel is the best kit GW make in my opinion!

Agreed. I love the new kits. They are just so much more fun to build now that the legs are sectional.

Dais, that Thunderhead is OUTSTANDING!

Elmodiddly wrote:This is my favourite one, after many colour schemes was thought about. Thankfully none of them drybrushed metal!

BEST NECRON ARMY EVER.........

Ok, so these are two of my favourite models that I have painted.

I know I posted the Salamanders Captain on another forum on here but it's still one of my favourite models.

Hope you guys like them aswell.

Here's my newest favourite tank:

That Typhus guy looks cool.

Are there other minis in the GW range that feature a scythe, since I could use some for a project?

hemlighest wrote:That Typhus guy looks cool.

There are a few. The ones that come to mind straight away are the Cairn Wraiths from the Vampire Counts range. But at £6 each they're a bit pricey for just a scythe.

Thank you for the comment about Typhus though. It's much appreciated.

My favourite ones are normally the ones I've just finished. On that subject:

Lysander...


...and my Nurgle dreadnaught.

It's really inspiring seeing all of these models up here...

Good stuff everyone! I've got a few I particularly like...

all lookin pretty good ^_^

My top faves would probably be









Some great looking models on this thread

Here are mine.

Nice models guys!

Ether my soviet squad or my hazard squad for necrons.
Not the best paint jobs but still the ones that took the longest out of my armies.
