Rather than clutter the forum with topics, I thought I'd take a page from some other services and keep everything in one place.

I will still maintain seperate topics for personal projects (If I ever have time to do a personal project again, lol.)

and with that... let's recap.

CRIMSON FISTS

BLOOD ANGELS

SPACE WOLVES

NECRONS

GREY KNIGHTS

CHAOS WARHOUND TITAN

Now that's one belt-fed Chaplin! Great work.

Awesomely painted models, especially that terminator chaplain.

Thanks guys!

Here's a couple Vostroyans!

These are some really well painted minis. Your customers will be impressed. I hope you keep this thread going, as it will be nice to check it out every once in a while!

Battleworthy? Doesnt that technically mean "painted well enough to play with"?

These are way, way WAY better than that lol jeeeeez

Some very nice painting there.

Thanks much, guys!


Here's some High Elves

That Chaos Titan interior is crazy! Well done, It actually sent chills down my spine.

Those space wolves give me an aneurism from their epicness

Ill take THAT as a compliment.

lol it was unintended but i guess it could be taken as a compliment
im currently building my necrons
you got facebook?

Same color scheme on my Space Wolves! I wanted a scheme based off of Kjarl Grimbloods fuff. So I decided Black Power Armor and Red Shoulder Plates and minor details.

Njal Stormcaller in a bit more traditional colors...

I love the deep dark colors you use. Gives the models a look of weight to them. Wicked work.

Thank you for noticing! That is very deliberate.

Some Cygnar models...

The blue/gold looks mint!

Great paint job have to keep on this thread. Keep it up.

I had these guys paint several Necron vehicles (not sure if they're the ones posted or not, my internet is crap and the pics are taking forever to load) to include 3x ghost arcs, 3x annihilation barges and 2x catacomb command barges w/Overlords (I DESPISE painting vehicles...)

The service was excellent, and they were very thorough in making sure they got the paint scheme that I wanted for the vehicles and they turned out precisely as I'd wanted.

Communication was also excellent, whenever I sent them an email asking about the status or any other tidbit they were always quick to respond.

In short, having used Battleworthy I'd certainly recommend them to others.

Thanks for the kind words, sir!

How are those bad boys treating you on the battlefield?

1) Thank you for uploading to Dakka. I normally don't get to see the showcase models because people don't upload to dakka, they just link from their site.

2) Many of the models here are absolutely great looking. I'm not a fan of the Blood Angels or the Warmachine stuff (sorry ), but at the same time, I'm loving the basing work, I really like how it looks on the Warmachine models, so it's just the paint jobs on those models that aren't working for me.

3) Keep up the work man! Even if I don't like some of the models, I can tell you put time and care into the work

you do amazing work

but I seriously hate this model, not your painting, but this thing screams FAIL

I did NOT enjoy painting that one lol. His face got kinda washed out by the flash, but yeah. Not my favorite model to paint.

The start of an Pirate Ogre army... this one is a lot of fun!

In love with these models. The smoothness is phenomenal!

The Titan is far and away one of the best i've ever seen.Can you tell me if all the demon faces have been free handed or are they decals,if so where can i get hold of them.

My favorite is easily the alternate Space Wolves colors...definitely going to try it out on some vanilla marines. Thanks for the inspiration!

Nicely done... Beautiful cygnar models.

Great detail! they earn the name battleworthy

The faces are all free handed. Any titan commission gets that kind of attention. There's a Mechanicus themed titan in the queue I am looking forward to doing.

We had some trouble with the photography... there's about 4 layers of highlights on each one, I hope people can see them lol.

Super Dungeon Explore!

The faces in the hull of that titan are mad creepy, so good!

Inquisitor Coteaz.

Love all these models! You guys wouldnt have any cadians or Leman russ with the standard Cadian scheme would you?

The Servants of Decay!

Demon prince, for use with khorne or nurgle

Do you use Army painter?

Everything seems a little dipped.

 SJM wrote:

Nope.

Ive used their primers before though.

Still figuring out the proper camera settings... I find it more difficult to take photos of models with bits of white as the layers and highlights dont always show up. Still working on the graininess too, but the colors came out fairly true to the model.

the start of some Imperial Fists. He wanted drop pods first

Nice work!

Damn You!
I am now searching for Vostroyan's on eBay, and its all your fault!!

Seriously though, awesome stuff on here. That IG Nurgle Army in particular is great, and as for the Chaos Warhound....

Keep up the good work!

I love that Chaos Warhound, saw it entered in Golden Demon at Gamesday Chicago, it should have one as far as i am concerned, the faces on it are legendary.

You can enter Golden Daemon with models you didn't paint? That seems so deceitful.

Anyway, excellent models throughout, I particularly like the Ultramarines.

This is a forum post full of win! I think my particular favorites are the Fists (both Crimson and Imperial!), The Servants of Decay, and honestly the Super Dungeon Explore minis. You're very talented, and it's really inspiring to check out models like this.

It's also nice to read from a customer who said you were good about communication because that goes a LONG way when it comes to commission work.

I entered it myself, not the customer. But the staff broke it before it got judged!

Some scouts for the Imperial Fists. Learning the camera a bit better.

As per client request... (I can't stress this enough) we have...

HARLEKROOTS and KROOTBIKES

(Eldar allies for a tau army)

Your work, great as always!

The first pre-heresy world eater terminator

God, I love pre-Heresy World Eaters. That Terminator looks like he's waded through a moutain of those who would not see the light of the Imperial Truth.

Pre-heresy world eaters, ready for action!

More world eaters!

The Man... The Myth... The Legend... THE HAMMER!

Better pics of Lysander

Forge World Inquisitor

Sammael... man this guy is complicated lol

Dark Angel bearing the Chapter Banner

Nice work man! I love your stuff it's amazing

Wow. Great painting all-round, really impressive work and I'm loving the quantity of the uploads; so many great models to take in.

I do have one criticism though: you're *really* making me want to repaint my Space Wolves in the colour scheme you've used.

Bad ass Space Wolves! That's my same color scheme! Great work!

Awesome stuff

They all look brilliant

Some vehicles for a team tourney at adepticon!

Tau, my personal army. This is the test model. What do you think of my "blood and chrome" scheme?

I like that your freehand work is very powerful and crisp, yet subtle. It fits the minis and their respective paint schemes very well. Good day to you, sir.

For a fantasy Empire army... my own!

thank you so very much!

Tau: The red and chrome color scheme works well, but I feel that the chrome needs a bit more depth. Right now it kinda looks like this big blob of monochrome metal. Could use some shading and some mithral silver highlighting to add depth.

...speaking of Tau...nudge...nudge

Empire: Those yellows are beautiful James. The buildup on black armour plates is excellent.

Im going to work on better photography for the tau... its impossible to shade or highlight, because its chrome plated.

If you look close, you can see the reflection of his thumb in the gun.

Ah, how did you go about getting the chrome plating? Did you just prime the model with an automotive spray and then paint over it in the areas you wanted painted red?

And I really like the black chest plates on the empire figure. What is your recipe and buildup for the black?

the chrome effect is an airbush application, and everything (including the black lines between the plates) must be CAREFULLY painted on afterwards.

Not sure I'll be doing it now for my personal army (I've fallen in love with a more Star Wars inspired paint scheme), so perhaps I'll leave it as a possible scheme for a commission.

The black is many built up (very thin) layered highlights: Dark Reaper, Thunderhawk Blue, Russ Grey, then whatever the pale blue/grey Edge Paint is.

Battleworthy Arts would like to welcome our new painter Angelina! Here are some examples of her work:

An uruk-hai army. Yes, we know some of them are orcs, but the client wanted them all painted together as uruk-hai.

Nice stuff guys

Oh man my girlfriend will love your daemonettes

Forge World Bloodthirster

I saw the World Eaters at Adepticon and they looked great.

I also like the chrome look on the Tau.

The base on the Bloodthirster is phenomenal.

Thanks, man!

The chrome look is indeed a fun one... probably not what I'll do for my personal army, since Im inspired by Star Wars... but if anyone is inspired by Battlestar Galactica now I know how to do it!

Chaos Reaver Titan of Nurgle

The nurgle titan isnt my cup of tea but its done fantasticly. Looks gross the way it should be.

That is awesome!

It's awesome but you should have covered the flying base insertion point on the downed flyer IMO.

It was 2 mins work lol

The paint job on these are all very nicely done. I do agree with Lovepug about the flying base though, since it is a quick thing to take care of and noticeable when it hasn't been covered.

The thing that bothers me the most, oddly enough, is your logo on the photos. It just seems like it takes up too much room on the photo and is a bit of a distraction. You have dark backgrounds at first glance and then BAM, all i see is a logo that i can't seem to look away from.

Fixed the flight peg opening.

Ill make the logo smaller in the future.

A couple figures for Infinity.

Iron Warriors Obliterators

The start of a Khador collection

Circle Orboros... and some conflict with Khador!

Amazing as usual.. You do the small things right and that's what makes your stuff pop.

Thank you so much!

A statue of Asurmen

That's some nice work ageing/enviromentaling the stonework, BA.

Is that the old Forge World piece?

Yes it is. Good eye!

I wish FW still did busts and large decorative sculptures like this.

This model is from hitech miniatures, the client using him as Iron Warriors Primarch Perturabo.

Working on my photography. Trying to eliminate noise and capture more accurate colors.

you stuff looks amazing. great job.

still some tweaks on the photography side... think Ive got it now...

Still a tad noisy there mate. I've downloaded the image you just posted (it's in a cruddy resolution) and mixed it through PS suite 5, and used a plugin filter that's called:

imagenomic noisewear professional.

Great little thing, but I can only do so much with a downloaded JPEG of this format.... Here's it after a threatment of the old noisewear professional:



*PS: I also amped up your exposure with 1/3 stop on it. So it's not all noise filter here...

I love the eldar !

YOU ARE A WIZARD.

Any advice on taking the shot with less noise? I had an very low ISO, F stop at 8, and shutter speed of about 1/25

My camera is set at 180 for resolution... not sure how to change it

I'm not even sure what 180 resolution means...

But erm... f8.0 with 1/25th shutterspeed means you are either using a LOT of light, or your ISO setting compensates.

Check those settings again, you might have a setting for 100 ISO, but if there's an option to increase ISO if needed, it's probably doing just that. I don't think there's that many camera's that shoot that grainy at low ISO tbh... Unless your digital camera is really old.

Because when I think ISO 100, f8.0 in normal lighting conditions, I'm thinking shutterspeeds even slower than the 1/25th... Unless ofcourse you are using a lot of lights.

The first test model for a Skorne collection

I love everything about the Skorne model except the white hands, not sure why but they just look out of place to me....

Execution/Painting wise amazing as always.

thank you! and yes, the hands are being re-thought.

i like the whitish hands tbh, they suit the darker color palette of these skorne. that being said i think they are a tad too white maybe just a slight toning down or another light coat of wash.... just my 2 cents.

Those Iron Warrior Obliterators are some of the most amazing models I've seen. How did you make them>!?

Man these are all fantastic! love the plague titan that looks awesome.

Cant take credit... you can buy those from Hitech Miniatures. I just painted them.

How did you do you NMM on that Cyclops Savage?

Those are all shades of Reaper Master Series Greys. Layered Highlighting, and a LOT of patience. lol. Afterwards, I like to use a black wash as a thin glaze to bring it all together.

A tricky model to photograph. The cloth is more of an olive drab, and the armor has a greyish purple hue. Is that visible here?

Bretonnians!

more of the Brets

Great stuff!

Those are perfect examples of why I want to start a bret army....for my son, I swear they are for him =P

some other Retribution of Scyrah for Warmachine.

What paints did you use on these? The Teal/turquoise scheme is gorgeous.
