Close enough then!

Let's begin with then new Bludrac, the drow ranger of the Dark Skies campaign











Another barbarian - Sorn's nemesis?











An assassin -

More city/town/castle guards

































GROUP SHOT! -

All our awesome, as always!

Loving that tattoo work on the barbarian, in particular!

Still not sure how people are able to pull that off on a 28mm model!

So many little details to marvel at, with one of my favorites being the hand-painted burlap texture on the priest's garb. Courageously applied last and without a single misstep. Incredible!

What he said! All those models are extremely well painted, but that priest is something else! Good grief!

Glad you guys like the models. If you like the barbarians, then you will be in for a treat as Seb has painted a bunch more for me and they are awesome looking.

In the meantime, here's a Bohun-painted bishop in all his finery. Too ostentatious to be a player character priest?

That cloak...pattern...mesmerizing...hypnotizing...


...and awesome!

@Alpharius Glad you like it

And here are some of the barbarians I promised you guys:

They look fantastic; I love how the models themselves are relatively simple but the paintjob just makes them epic.

@Soul Samurai Glad you like them.

Here's a group shot of the barbarians (warning - NSFW):





Individual shots-

















The big guy - Bloody Garm!

Wow they are amazing Sorn you must be really happy with them, I really like the female her facepaint looks fantastic.

@GiraffeX Glad you like the pics, my friend.

The bishop is finished and is standing in front of the chapel in my castle. Pics below-





Here are some Bohun Otherworld models -

Adventurer's campsite -











Lesser Familiars -









Townsfolk-













Bugbears-

Incredible work! You've definitely brought the minis to life.

Every time I think this thread can't get more incredibly awesome...

...it gets more incredibly awesome!

I really like all the small animals and the fire with the cook pot is amazingly painted.

Cheers,

What manufacturer are the barbarians from?

Amaaaazing miniatures and thread!

The topless girl is from Red Box games.

The rest I don't know, might be from the same guy.

Amazing set up, cant imagine how much it has cost lol.

Damn, they really look amazing. Beautiful job.

cheers

Yeah, they are. WoW, pricey, but superb models.

I am building up a Mierce Ysian force for Kings of War.. barbarians were the ones Mierces was lacking, but red box is great to fill in that gap

Yikes, that is some great painting and the models are top notch too!

9-10$ a model is decent, I think, shipping is what kept me away from it, till I found someone willing to order something with me and split the cost.

Really like you work mate. Especially the shadowing and the highlighting. As a starting painter, how do you make the highlights flow into the shaded areas so gradually?? Thinning down the paint more? Or just very careful brushwork?

Thanks for the kind words guys. Thought I would refresh this thread and post a few more pics. This time, they are portions of my diorama:

Turn undead!











Ambushed!











Surrounded!

Stunning stuff, as always!

Your whole setup, really...

I'm always trying to find good trees for terrain - where did you get yours?

Wow, that waterfall looks amazing! When I first saw it I was convinced you had photoshopped it in!

I thought you guys might enjoy my D&D diorama.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZfaZoKWDQM

Absolutely stunning, everything is so insanely detailed. Even the camping beds are beautiful.

I'm curious, do these all stay out in their respective "homes", or do you have to store them away and cycle what you have out?

Thats just incredible! Its a setup anyone would be proud to have. And I must ask, what ship models did you use for those ships at the docks? I'd want to pick some up for my own table, they are perfect.

Just looking back over these. The woven cloth effect on the clergymans robes is insane work as are the folds in the blankets and covers of the little out door bed camps.
Kudos.

Wow just wow.

That barbarian group is absolutely the JAM.

The new sea/beach section is amazing.

Happy to share with you guys.

I took a bunch of high-res pics of my diorama to memorialize it before I tear it down. I am not much of a photographer but the pics do a serviceable job of showing the diorama.

Let's see if this album link works:

Not sure I fully understand. I do have the capability of storing all the stuff on the table in my cabinetry, which, as you can see, is built into my gameroom walls.

The ships are commissioned special. They are made from wood and are built from scratch by a very talented miniature ship builder named Jeff Wefel.

Yes, that mini is one of my favorites. I am glad you noticed the detail.

Mike at Terranscapes outdid himself on the ocean boards. I had to wait 2 years for them but they were worth it.

Incredible stuff. I wish I could game on something like that. It's like a dream of mine since the old P&P days of AD&D.

When you tear it down do you store it in sections ? In other words is it modular ? Reusable ?

That's amazing!

@Sammoth Yes, it is modular. I store it in the cabinets and under the large table.

Frost Giants!

Beautifully done!

Those Blood Rage minis paint up nicely!

Love the "inflammed" red ears/nose on the giants, very realistic!
Brrrr its cold!

Best. Thread. Ever

I can sit and drool over the photos here for hours and hours...

This thread is awesome!

How did you do the skin on the Frost Giants? That's pretty close to what I'm looking for for my ogres.

They look really cool Sorn

More incredible work. I Love the Frost Giants.

I thought I would share with you guys a few more Bohun paint jobs.

Otherworld - Fighter and Mage





Otherworld - Thief





CMON - Spartan Warrior





Otherworld - Cultists









Otherworld - Huge Otherworld Giant

Wow! what an update, beautiful minis. Pretty spectacular freehand on the cloaks and the patches on the giant.
Said it before, you have a spectacular collection.

Thanks for sharing as always, and our gratitude for supporting the hobby in a way few do, keep posting these pics!

love the Spartan.

Sorn, how do you keep that enormous diorama free of dust?

With the money he seems to be making he probably has the whole thing built in a clean room. with scrubs and a hi powered air filtration system

Absolutely!

And Exalted!

Can you imagine playing a game of Confrontation, or Darklands or...just about anything on that beautiful setup?

Never mind with the beautifully painted miniatures too!

God Dam, you have MAD ass painting skillzzzzzzzzz

He actually commissions them out, but there's no denying the skill of all those involved!

 Mymearan wrote:

That's no diorama. Its a gaming table.

Its modular and he said it all packs away somewhere. Probably has a team of oompa loompas to do the packing.

The diorama has dust on it. I just am okay with it. I sometimes have to clear it from the water tiles/rivers, but it does not bother me much. If I left it out for multiple years, the dust might reach unacceptable levels, and I will certainly attempt to clean it then.

Yes, I am a collector of miniature art who enjoys putting together dioramas and interesting, dynamic miniature scenes. That is my hobby, and I really enjoy it. And I can help encourage artists by commissioning them to paint for me. I only select the very best artists to paint for me as I am quite discerning. Both Bohun and Sebastian are my favorite, but I am also exploring others who are very, very talented as well (e.g., Alexi-Z, Ana, JBT, Lukasz Grzyb, Robert Carlsson, Michal Pisarski, Nakatan, etc.). I should note that, aside from artistic ability, I also value professionalism, consistent delivery of high quality paint jobs, and meeting of internal deadlines without sacrificing quality. An artist can be very, very good, but if they take forever to complete my models and miss repeated deadlines, I find myself less enthused about using them again in the future.

On that note - here are some barbarians painted by Lukasz Grzyb of FantasyGames

You definitely are using the best!

I mean, those tattoos and plaid patterns?

Not to mention...just about everything else too!

Wow!

Are the models from the post above Mierce, Blood Rage, or something else? They look awesome, the front one reminds me of a Red Box Games model, but I think it's just very similar!

Have you considered giving Mierce and others permission to use your model pics as their studio / web photos? I am sure they would really appreciate it, and it would give them even more exposure . Most companies are also very willing to credit in this case, too.

The top two are the same model from Avatars of War - the Barbarian Chief kit.

Alternate head and weapon included, I think!

I don't know where the barbarian model is from though!

Still love this thread. I would love to see an MTV cribs style video of your hobby room!

Thanks, guys. The barbarian that you guys noted is Jholkar of Bolverk - http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=jholkar-of-bolverk~hfh078&category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-humans


Rikkard from Mierce Miniatures














Also, here's a video of a city diorama I put together using DF citybuilder stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsjEVlBGx38&feature=youtu.be

I am selling my large Eldar army. It is huge and it has many beautiful diorama pics for you to enjoy in the listing. Starting price only $1950.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/282381230755?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Man, some really nice models in there! But I don't think your army shot does them justice, they really shine in the unit photos.

It'd be more work to sell but you could likely break it up by unit and sell it easily, given that they're painted in official colors.

Normally true, but in this instance there is also the matter of the Battlefoam containers. Not sure how the layers are organized, but I think the added difficulty of finding a new home for the cases themselves would outweigh the benefits of dividing the army into individual units.

Best of luck selling, though. I should think Eldar are seeing an increase in popularity with last month's Fracture of Biel-tan

Why did this thread stop??????? Sorn, are you still out there! Please keep posting! Blown away! Greetings!

yea! i literally spent 30ms with my jaw dropped. This was some good thread necromancy

Everyone should have a millionaire gamer friend like you in their lives. The minis and table are all incredible.

+1 for necroing this thread.

New life goal - Make millions so that I can have a mansion and have a hobby room thats like Sorn's...
