So I have been surprised

Redacted

Just finished my Vendetta. Largest model I've ever painted and I think it came out pretty good.



Ugh I want to start nids so bad, but I don't have the cash at the moment. Your Tyranids are good Augustus, not all of us can be Nard

My three Phoenix lords ... its a shame but unless I'm playing a novice they rarely get played.

This is the latest thing I've painted.



Okay, so she's not exactly hiding, but I like to show off
Especially as so much of it turned out well.

All very cool! I like Manga Stuff! Always thought there should be more crossover, minis and Manga wise!

Well I have a companion piece in the works - keep an eye out

My FW Nurgle dread having at an old Blood Angel model I had lying around.

See a doctor immediately!

(The dreadnought I mean...)

My carnifex model is what got me into Tyranids, and I've been adding to it ever since. When the new codex came out, I had to tear it apart because its set up was't very competitive, and this is what it looks like now.

One of the 3 washes on chainmail plaguebeares I did 2 and a bit years ago.
I guess I could pump out an army of them over a couple of hot days, but have so many other gaming priorities ATM.

The business end of my army's Shadowsword.

My Salamander Land Raider Crusader

The Greatest Daemon of Slaanesh.

My Deamon prince and chaos steed for the lord (WIP)

Death Guard Land Raider

My Snikrot, which recently fell off the table after an angry fist slam (By me) when my SAG killed himself, 7 gretchen, and 4 of my 'Ard Boyz. he now has many areas i need to touch up. BUT HERE HE LOOKS GOOD!

This is one of my painted TH/SS termies! All I need to do now is paint the rest of my army

OH! Really good models from everyone else! Top notch

Here is a Pic of my favourite creation.


Puny Baneblade at his feet

http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-viewimage.jsp?i=125090

After the filing needed to replace the existing backpack and the sculpting I did for the sleves I'm actually kind of proud of this as it's actually my first metal model conversion.





Also these two.






There's some pretty cool stuff here as well.

My counts as Vulkan.



I apologize for the picture not being too clear.

My Death Korps of Krieg Quartermaster and Company Commander. In my opinion, my best painted models, and my favourite models.




And just for the shear amount of time put into it, my Biker Warboss. He's my baby.

that's my latest creation

My very humble contribution:




First camo attempt, not bad after all!

Has long since been sold.

Currently my best looking mini so far, although I haven't taken pics of my Dread yet:

Thought i would join in. Hopefully there's nothing against WIP.

on of my fave mini's.

Segway IG! This was a Christmas present I painted for a friend (2009).

My first 40K painting. Nob with kustom bosspole, powerklaw, and twinlinked shoota.

Here is one pic from my gallery. It is of my 95% scratch built Cerebore.


Also I really like that Nurgle Dread, Bullfrog!

This is my Tetto'Eko Conversion =)

Pretty proud of this guy.

@Carnage43: Me too. I had a hand in its creation...

I like this thread! Keep em coming, don't forget to go explore peoples galleries when you see things you like and leave them comments and ratings!

Good stuff!

These are about the cream of my gallery (& more or less the sum total!) Lately I´ve dipped under the radar for a spell but hope to be back on the case with a new project soon.

Some really interesting stuff on here, it always good to see others work getting the attention it deserves.

Here are a few of my Favourites from my gallery:

Second attempt at airbrushing and what I think is the nicest red I have gotten yet :



The model I feel best shows my 2010 progress as I completed it very quickly but loved the result :



And the most impressive model in my gallery :

Ifalna wrote:

... i cannot tell is that sculpted by you or has it got 1000 odd layers of paint? Ether way looks like he's got breasts

He was painted by a friend of mine when he was 6, I think thats like 10 layers of gold enamel. The cat face on the knee and eyepatch/hair lines are the selling points for me.

As mentioned by some, he's not really hiding, but it's the one I like most at the moment...

The first trooper of my Tzeentch Raptors squad, riding a Disc of Tzeentch!

This thread is one of the best ideas I have seen in a while. Really promotes the idea of "community". Great job Augustus!

Here's a couple of mine that I am distinctly proud of:







And also going from this:



To this:




...in less than 3 months.

(None of these are in the gallery, but I will get around to it one day)
My Warboss in a Dreadnaught



My Witch Hunter Inquisitor

Zael

Black background images? That's very unique! How were those done for people who took them, love the airbrush and the fantastic montage shots too by the way well done!

Lovin the ork warboss and nurglenaughts! Will vote and comment in a sec

Black backgrounds are great in that the don't leave you with the " Wait, this is not how it looks in real life" syndrome that white can cause. My digi cam washes colours or alters them significantly with a white backdrop, and I don't like having to tweak images to make them look like the real deal. Black avoids this for me completely.

The background is a piece of black Velvet. Velvet is great as it does not reflect light whatsoever, so you can have a really nice lamp setup for your light source without ruining the deep blackness of the velvet.

Even black models can be shot on it as they don't absorb the light the way the velvet does, so are rarely muted by it /ends thread hyjack

Wow some insanely cool stuff in this thread so far!

Here are a few of mine:

I'm more a converter than a painter, but here are some of the models I'm proud of:

Some really great stuff in this thread.
Heres my Gargant with his deffkopta buddies:

Although these pictures were not taken by me, they feature my CSM vs endtransmission's IG from Dakka's Silver Sourcerer tournament last year and are way better than my own pictures of my models

Some fantastic work in this thread

Probably still my best work is my Big Mek (shown here with both weapon options.



And my Mega-Nobz made from old Terminators.

Smurfs.

Kreeeeeg!

Wow more good stuff today, thanks everyone, I have enjoyed seeing things people have shared, I have never seen any of this before! Great stuff! I have liked revisiting this thread this week!



EVER since the chaos possesed marine kit came out I have wanted to see someon do a raptor unit with the demonic wings! That is just fantastic! I really like it and I figured it was doable but I have never seen even one completed example since the kit came out (well of a whole squad) awesome!

That Ultramarine army is huge, holy cow.

Evolvingeye, I like those angry thermal terminators, the lava effect is imposing, not very standard a paint job, in a great way.

EDIT: Heres an old custom captain of mine, a very simple equiped model with a bit of flash:

My favorites:

This is my truescale marine

WOW...some AMAZING stuff from everyone! Here are a couple of mine, taken with a bad camera...fixing that now.







*Now, I know that this last one is not a GW mini, but it was a cool mini*

@ Gitsplitta,

those are Bazonkers! and display not only a fine ability to paint but a great taste for composition and photography skills as well! Excellent, I like the 4 barrel dread best, but wow!

@ Matrim,

I always wondered why power armored men didnt ALL have integrated weapons? Shouldn't they, really? That piece captures that, well thematically for me anyway, I'd like to see a more completed image of it?

No completed Images Augusts, sorry - it is still a WIP

nice name, Augustus...or should i say....OCTAVIAN?!

CaptainLoken wrote:*Now, I know that this last one is not a GW mini, but it was a cool mini*

You know there's no rule that says you must only post about GW stuff here, right? Hell, if there was, I'd have been banned long ago!

I love the Reaper guy though. I've been meaning to pick one up one day. The emblem on his chest could do with being picked out a bit more though, IMO.

Thank's Augustus... that's my best work to date and was a real labor of love.

... though.... I'm workin' on an Iron Clad at the moment that has real potential too. We'll see how it shakes out over the next few days.

Awesome! Yellow is such a hard color to do, everyone knows!

Depends on how you do it. Painting in many thin layers with yellow is actually easier than with as lot of other colors. And the airbrush (which I just started using so my figures above were not airbrushed), is the great leveler.

I didn't see any Tau pictures so far, so here's my contribution (votes in my gallery are appreciated).

wow crazyK... that's impressive! Quantity *and* quality!

If you copy the "forums" link on the image page in the gallery, you can link directly to that page when you post an image. Makes it easier for people to vote on you.

Thanks Dreadnote, hopefully this works

Here's my first ever use of greenstuff. I used a Space Hulk Librarian. Just a simple conversion with the base and the added storm shield+book instead of the storm bolter.

One of my favorites:


Between army ADD and being a slow painter. I never have very many models finished for my own army, but here are some:


Another favorite of mine for FoW:

Sigh... My goal.

Nice army!

I'm not the best painter but these are some of my favourites

These are the Kindred from Hasslefree. Lovely models and a nice simple colour scheme. I feel these look great and were fun to paint.

I really like the strength and power of this model. I'm happy with the subtle conversion which didn't lose the power of the Avatars of War Beastlord. Paint jobs not the best but its passable on the table top.
The Nefarius Clone is one of those models I defy anybody to dislike a Rackham piece from when they were on top of their game. I'm delighted I've worked out I can use it as a Penitent Engine.

My Hind themed Valkyrie. Only model I've posted in the gallery atm.

Its not the Limited Edition one - wish I had one though

The army wasnt built all at once - its been on-going since 2003 though. There's another 20 terminators, 3 attack bikes, thunderfire cannon, forgeworld rhino and 3 more dreads on the work-bench that arent in the picture.

Its 5th Company by the way.

Here is my hero from LotR, Mauhur.

Thanks augustus for your kind comment about my raptor squad!

This kind of threads is always great to find some inspiration (and ideas to steal )

Daedricbob wrote:My Hind themed Valkyrie. Only model I've posted in the gallery atm.

I like how you added a blue underbelly like a proper aircraft.

I've been going through the galleries, so much great stuff!

I'm going to add another of my favorites. This is my Redemptionist Cult from Necromunda. It's not completely finished and it saw only a few games before I moved out of the area I was living in at the time. I've never found anyone to start up another game with (although that might change if I lean on my current gaming group enough... ha).

Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

My laptop seems to block me linking pictures. With no computer in the area, I'll just put a link to my gallary.

As seen in my P&M blog, link in my sig.

Longer Chassis Leman Russ, fully magnetized.



Galleries, Galleries, Galleries and a P&M Blog!

Love the Ultrasmurfs collection.

That's a lovely looking Leman Russ. The extended Chassis works fairly well.

Some of the Eldar in my gallery:

My Librarain For my BA

I risk being compared to Skalk and Bullfrog (love your base btw) with this one, but he's my favorite mini so I have to show him:


Other than him, I probably like my plasma gunners the most, even thought they usually die to Gets Hot! in every game I use them xP

Ok, I'll play Probably my 2 favourite cyborks so far :

Here's some I did five years ago, and later sold. Wish I'd kept them now.











Yeah, I know, my bases are lame. Working to improve them.

The first trooper of my Tzeentch Raptors squad, riding a Disc of Tzeentch!

Amazing job, however I can't stop myself from thinking that the reason he is running is because the disc is powered by spinning it, kind of like the scenes from old tom & jerry cartoons where Jerry is running on a spinning record player...

Anyway, here is my contribution, last paint-job I'm truly proud of (to be fair, haven't painted anything since last june-ish )

Ok some of my Tau

My counts as Greater Knarloc "muffin"




Custom Broadsides.


My "special forces devilfish"

Sweet camo job! I'm envious.

Yeah cool job

These are dag nasty! I very much like them, Tau look so great with plausible colors, love the olve and the custom work, those legs are superb, much better than the teetery look of the originals!

I put some votes in your gallery!

Kudos to the Fire dragons with flame and the super clean Ultramarines too, nice!

Really love those Tau.

Agreed the tau look great

Ill 5th or 12th that. Very nice Tau there man, I also added some votes to them. As well as showing my brothers G/F as she plays Tau, and has basically no idea what she wants to do with them yet. Hopefully those inspire her

well gosh thanks for the compliments, my Tau hav been pretty well received by my fellow soldiers here to, I guess they just look business like , and for the record they have done very will in games to.

Now I just have to finish that damn tau superheavy....

P.S. this weekend in addition to the terrain we are going to work on, I have plans to build a devilfish search and rescue variant, I will post pics when there is something worth showing.

A few Fantasy pieces from my collection......

Arthas!!!!!!!!




My Dimmu Borgir inspired Haemonculus

This guy keeps popping up around forums but I love him, Karzak the bloodied!



also my world eaters dread

Wow! I'm really liking that DP's MASSIVE sword!

Dread looks real nicely painted and the pose is awesome


Heres a Vampire Count I painted a while back as a one-off

i love my land raider..

specially the text on the top..




and i also like my sterngaurds..

My most recent - sorry about the blurry pic, need a better camera


And probably my favourite to paint so far:

Simple, but I like him

One of the last pics I took before I headed off to college for my spring semester. Obviously still WIP, but I was proud of them nonetheless
I called these dudes the Frenzied Four. I hope to get some more of the RT style marines over the summer. : )

Hey folks, one of my Chapter Masters of the Bone Ravens
This is before I switched from my 'lumpy' GW paints lol (his skin is a bit gloopy lookin but I really like the washed out eye sockets personally.



And the Sgt from my 1st Tactical Squad.



Cheers,

NC.

Edit: Yeah I know - my photography/lighting needs some work!
