this is in Modelling but I've just done new photos using GIMP2 a free photo editing suite recommended in a thread on Dakka.
Its very good and easy to improve phone photos. there's even a YouTube vid about photographing miniatures and using Gimp.

epic work!

Great work, the Avatar of Khaine and the Wraithknight with Ghostglave are amazing.

These are gorgeous. Great work, especially the yellow. The Wraithknight with the glaive over the dead tyranid is my fave.

Very well done.

Wraithknight conversion work is ace. Great conversion work all around. I'm still scratching my head with the Avatar as it seems much more than just a bend at the knee, but I can't put my finger on it.

Overall, fantastic themed army. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Great colour choice. Wraith Knight with ghostglave is my fav, love the pose and subtle effects on his weapon especially.

Rad! I've been working on an Iyanden force as well (in p&m). It's great to see another Iyanden force in the works - even though there's a brand new supplement, you don't see too many yellow n' blue Eldar. Yours look great!

you can stop scratching Sarigar
I cut his waist down the butt line, chopped him at the top of the right thigh and scooped out both knees.

Thanks for the feedback all, very nice

Excellent work

Great work.

Can we see more of the farseer... at first i thought it was the new plastic one but there are subtle differences.... its is a conversion, right? How was it made?

FTL

Looks awesome! Just started an iyanden army myself, though my ability isn't even close! I'm close to buying the same avatar from forge world, did you have a good experience with it?

its the top half of the plastic farseer with the bottom half and cloak from the elf mage from island of blood


no problems with the Avatar apart from a bent sword, got it off ebay second hand for 35 quid still in the FW bag

Awesome!

Love the dead 'Nids I love any bug that's a carcass great work on the undead elves

I absolutely love the way that you pose you miniatures. Great job on the Avatar especially.

Awesome Work!!

I love the colorschemes for this, Great work!

Super work Great colors Nice and clean

How did you get the shading on the wraith guard heads dude! Looks real good. Or is it just the lighting?

Awesomely cool work! The Wraithknights and the Seers stand out as being particularly original conversions/posing. The addition of the sword to the Farseer changes the whole dynamic of the model. Overall, really really cool and memorable.

Awesome stuff!

its just Kantor blue with a blue wash and then a mix of Kantor blue, Alaitoc blue and Fenrisian grey for the highlights.

Very nice. Other things planned in the future?

I can only say..

Nice job, particularly loving the ghost glaive wraithknight!

I've got a sticky note on my desktop with all my Eldar conversion ideas, most are done but I'm sure I'll think of some more
there are two things on there at the mo, the first is a very loose idea of an Autarch on a jetbike using a vyper frame, not a lot of detail to this yet but I have in mind a big Hog of a bike.

The other is a squad of warp spiders using the Shadow spectres, Until I get the figures I'm not entirely sure what they will be like but as it stands I'll be taking them off of there rocks and I think I'll leave off the flowing ribbons. I'll be swapping the back pack with the spider back pack and changing the end of they're guns. as yet I'm not sure how long the gun will be but I defiantly wont be using the spider gun.

I'm banging out 5 dire avengers I had lying around at the mo.

VonKessler - very impressive!

Would you please provide more photos of the Knight w/ Glaive?

[Not to take anything away from the painting of these lovely Eldar, but I'm very interested in seeing more of the dead 'Nid beasty - it really looks dead the way you have articulated the model!]

Great stuff!

sure

just finished my hooky jetbikes

What a stunning army throughout!

Gorgeous and great work.

Basing is about the only thing a Carnifex model is used for until the new book comes out, beautiful work, that wraithknight cares little.

Great work.

Just finished an Autarch kit bash.
body is a high elf mage
head, arms and ammo belt is Dire Avenger
Axe head is Wraithblade
Back fins are from guardians
legs are DE
The axe blade is my first attempt at NMM, I like it but it hasn't worked, doesn't look like gold and I'm not sure what I've done wrong.
There seem to be plenty of guides about NMM on armour but I couldn't find any for a flat surface.
Any help, tips would be welcome.

Fire Dragon colour scheme test mini.

Yellow is a hard color for me to work with. Really enjoyed yours however.

6 Fire Dragons done, I'll do the other 4 including the Exarch at a later point.
During my break from Fire dragons I painted 3 of my 5 Dark Reapers.
Also I'm working on converting 5 Shadow Spectres into Warp Spiders

Where did you get those jetbikes? those are neither Eldar or Dark Eldar that are on the market.

All of these are great, i really like the yellow.

some of my jet bikes are eldar/dark eldar kit bashed but the ones I think your referring to are Russian recasts from ebay based on a model Jes Goodwin did back in 2007. no idea why they never released it, they should have.

Gotcha, do you have a link? or where they one-offs? BTW Nice job on the poses and painting

search for Jet sky-sсooter, оne-elf fast attack combat vehicle on ebay

ThankS!

Fire Dragon Exarch with fire pike, he had a flamer originally

Fantastic

I'm painting some warp spiders atm converted from shadow spectres. I think the warp spider model a bit rubbish with silly looking guns and I've no plans to use shadow spectres in my army because as supposed tank hunters they suck.

Very nice work on the Avatar and the converted Jetbikes.. I might be going that route if the Dar don't get some new bikes when the Saim-Hann Supplement comes out.. again looking very good!

2 warp spiders done.
recast a warp spider back pack using GS and sculpted it into the shadow spectre armour.
cut off shadow spectre gun barrel and swapped it with a wraithguard gun barrel.
quite pleased with the result and personally I think they look better than the official warp spider model (but then I would)

They look great, really nice conversion.

Vast improvement over the stock spiders to be sure. Good job!

Wow, the whole army looks great. But that Wrathknight with the Ghostglave is amazing. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Today I've been working on some Ranger kit bashing without using any thing from actual Eldar Rangers
I'll post them here once they're painting but if you want to see the WIP then have a look here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/550743.page#6043388

It appears that work you've done is stellar, my good sir.

Sadly picture quality is decidedly sub-par.
Nevertheless, bravo.

your painting is very clean!!!! i love the way you modeled up the wraithknights!

First finished Ranger

Wow, that Ranger looks great. One painted like that laying down in some brush aiming for a shot would look fantastic.

I did think about laying one down, the dark lance comes with a tripod. my problems where trying to make the pose look natural, since I consider that a very important part of any conversion and fitting it on a 25mm round base.
but I still have 5 more shadow warriors and 5 more rifles so and some point I will probably try it.

finished unit of Rangers

Oh man, that is frickin' delicious!!!!

Finished a Wave Serpent.
Took this one out into the garden to purity seal and bloody well dropped it onto concrete, the serpent shield must work because only the base broke off.

Nicely done.

Just Finished my Crimson Hunter made from the DE Razorwing with the hunters big stabilisation wings and weapons. from ebay all for about 20 pounds, much more reasonable then 40 for the Hunter model.
Getting a bit more adventurous with the base.

Lovely work.

This force is so sexy that a gal just threw her knickers at the screen when she walked past me at Starbucks!

Excellent work VonKessler.

The model looks great and the paint job is quite nice.

I personally do not like the base. It gives the immediate impression that the poor thing has been shot down and is crashing into a jungle canopy.

nice image Fatboy

mm the base was supposed to be the tree bending from the speed of the passing craft. I should have left a gap between tree and craft.

I'm building an Exodite Fire Prism With no prism parts atm so I might go back to the Hunter base later.

Just finished my Scorpion MkII Super heavy

Enjoy

Just finished my Wraithblade exarch
I wanted to do a bright stallion conversion for months but in my head it was using the wraithknight model, which would be quite expensive and I've seen a couple of wraithlord bright stallions but never really considered using wraithguard until I saw oldwolf79 and the fantastic conversion he did. I just happened to win two boxes of wraithguard on ebay for cheap so I thought, why not.
quite pleased with it
any feedback welcome, enjoy

Very nice work!! the conversions look very fluid and show motion.. nice to see some nicely converted Dar mini's 8)

my test Howling banshee
some feedback would be great

Your Banshee is excellent.
Also really like the Bright Stallion conversion :-)
Keep up the great work!!

Howling Banshee exarch and squad made from the new dark elf witches and some dark eldar bits

Hi, just finished a Vyper conversion armed with two shuriken cannon

Very cool Vyper. I liked that look much better than the stock model.

This army is amazing.

Newly finished squad of wraithguard with bright stallion exarch

After I finished my Howling Banshees I liked the slap dash heads I made less and less so I swapped one and now it looks like I'll have to do the lot.
what do you think. new head better?

I prefer the new head.

Absolutely the new head xP

I like new head...

Waiting for some bits to arrive to make a Fugan and finish my wraithguard wraithseer I found a Warlock in a draw and painted him
and a photo of my banshees with there new heads, so much better than the old heads

Wraithguardseer

The wraithknight with ghost glaive is truly deserving of the word "epic".

Buddy loving your work and love what you've done with my idea great job on expanding them

Thanks guys
one day I'll do a wraithkinght stallion

Oh would that be glorious! I remember those from my old Epic days...

This army is pure awesome!

Taking a break from Eldar
I fancied doing a Blood Angels Mephiston conversion I've been thinking of for a while.
I had in mind really focusing on the darker, vampiric side of the Blood Angels.
This is my take on the Lord of Death himself
Enjoy

Nice Mephistion, very dark! A really good conversion all round, I like the cape on the back, and a good choice of head. The only thing I'm not sure of is the hand. I find it a bit weird that it's not in power armour and it looks like it's the wrong way round with the pistol on top like that. Still, it's a minor point and a badass mini!

yeah, I see what you mean and agree

That Mephiston model looks incredible. It has lots of familiarity with the official model but deal with all the flaws of GWs own model.
Mephiston has gone beyond being a normal space marine in a way this model capture perfectly.
Great work

Just a quick Drednought done. not much to this one, a few extra bits

Nicely done. The modified shin guard actually make it look much less squat and dumpy. Good improvement on the original model!

master of asgard wrote:

It's meant to look squat and dumpy ;P I think it looks good, but a tad top-heavy for my liking. The legs don't look like they'd be able to support the sarcophagus, but I guess that's just the lack of shinpads talking xD Other than that, I love the conversion, it's not much but it still makes the model look cool without going overboard like the Furioso :3 Well done

I like the Jazz hand on the first Wraith knight

This dreadnought I found in my bits draw. I must have bought it to use the parts for some thing else. I think it was for a scratch built hellbrute. I must have used the shin guards coz that's the only bits that were missing. I needed something on the legs and I don't have many SM bits having only just started. So it was really the BA shoulder pads that would make it look more BA or make some thing out of plastic card.

1st time I've tried NMM on armour and the 2nd time I've tried it ever.
did the helmet and right shoulder and ropes in NMM and while, over all its a bit dark I think it came out nice.
not sure about highlighting the red armour with white, maybe yellow would be better.

would be nice to get some feedback

Death Company test model
enjoy
and have a happy Holiday

My Terminator captain with Teeth of terra.
and a combat squad of Death company

Pretty frightening looking group there. Really like the terminator cappy... nice work on the crux.

Nice! really nice, I love the alternate head on that DC you did it looks suitably slack and deranged, not quite with the program so to speak ;-) and the Terminator captain again is a really nice job, very clever use of parts and the addition to the top of the armour flows well and really makes him stand out. Not to mention your painting appears bloody good too and very smooth! pity the pics just aren't a bit better.

well done and I'll keep my eyes peeled for more from you!

Your vision of the Blood Angels is fantastic! Very dark and even a bit scary. Awesomeness.

Those eldar are fantastic!

I love the crimson hunter and wraith units especially.

Subbed!

Cheers guys. All I have is my camera phone. I do my best with lighting but I wish I had some thing better because the photo misses a load of detail and messes with the colours a bit. I run it through Gimp2 but there's only so much I can do to it.

The Death Company squad really looks the part, excellent painting on both the Eldar and Angels.

That terminator captain is awesome! Very fearsome model. Just wish he had a better looking storm bolter and that I think the Teeth of Terra would look better in black, other than that I have nothing to say except praise.

I like your Mephiston very much too.

I didn't want the Teeth of Terra to look like it belonged to the blood Angels, they'll have loads of black chainswords and the teeth are black so I plumped for gold. tbh I'm not overly wowed by it ether. I didn't want to buy something and didn't have a massive selection of SM bits. the whole model was a sort of kill some time project really.

My first Drop Pod
for a cheap disposable unit it takes a lot of painting

Very nice work!

Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard

c&c welcome as I'm still new at trying NMM

Those are amazing VK. The highlights on the armor, blending on the wing tips... striking sword blades really make them jump right off the screen.

thank you

VonKessler, your Iyanden army is amazing! May I ask you about yellow recipe please?

Goodness me those are pretty. Love the swords, they're really eye-catching.

Dang they look great.

 VenomBlood wrote:

thanks all and the yellow is nothing special. Yrriel yellow with a heavy Casandora yellow shade and normally 3 layers of highlight (yellow/white mix)

The lighting is a bit off but they came out OK.
I'm banking on the new BA supplement including Centurions
I can't Imagen GW will miss out a £48 squad in a major chapter

Centurion Squad

Pretty cool...

They look badass, and I also agree with you. It'd be stupid not to give these to the big chapters if they want to move them well.

Imperial Knight Titan of House Cadmus
hope you like it

Great stuff.

I can't really explain it very well.

I can't stand the green, but it just looks so good and is painted great.

I'm like, "gah, that color..... yet it is so well done."

It really is a beautiful piece, but that green.....

LOL, not sure how else I can put it. If you get bored can you take another picture with different lighting maybe?

I'm not much for khaki green either... but it is very well done.

 Gitsplitta wrote:

yup...still green

looking it over again I think the green is to flat. I'll go over it with more shading and highlighting

It's going into a BA army so I wanted a contrasting colour of an imperial house so all the red ones where out. didn't want the blue one coz that just looks like a massive ultramarine. I fancied some thing in green and Cadmus had a cool background.
I have an idea for Roland (Cadmus ruler) too. double barrel battle cannon with an auto loader on his back and the whole thing will be a little stockier. maybe a power fist holding the battle cannon barrels

I like the green, and i think that pose is great

See, now it looks much better to my eyes.

Was the first light setup more yellow in nature? This new picture the light looks more blue and does a lot more justice to the green.

It is a fantastic paint job. Great basing, and the work on the foot repose is a nice touch.

Your BA's will be proud to have that next to them on the field.

Awesome job on everything, I really like the Imperial knight titan. Great job.

yeah the lights on the first set of pics included a couple of yellowish spots
I'm still playing with lighting. the 2nd was just my daylight painting lamp and a window

Looks great to me.

Your cannon seems to be upside down, but it looks pretty good like that.

it is, I didn't realize it until I'd started painting

I personally like the green. It could use a little depth in the color maybe. Not much in the way of shadow really. At least seeing it through the pictures. I also love the reposition of the leg. Finally I have seen someone do this. Good stuff though.

I managed to get hold of a proper camera so I replaced the old Knight pics with much better ones

May I present My attempt at Angron, Son of the Blood God.
Enjoy

Bravo awesome work. Turned out great. Glad to see you finished it.

Amazing!

Thats a large model!
Love the clever use of bits, like the skullcannon axe.
Great and original work!

popped this guy out whilst I wait for bits to arrive

Looks amazing, I like how you can see different kits coming together

I wanted CSMs on Juggernaughts so I turned them into bikes

Looks amazing! Love the idea of the bike/juggernaut conversion! I might have to steal this idea from you...

All of your work is amazing though!

Bloodthirster Greater Daemon of Khorne
or Skarbrand

The wings look kind of gone and it has 2 axes. If I were you I'd field him as Skarbrand.

This is my first use of an airbrush. Used on the Armour for zenithal highlights and on the claws

House Cadmus Seneschal
this guy took so long to convert I was sick of the sight of him so there was a bit of gap before painting

Very nice Knight conversion!

Well worth the wait.

Bit of a kit bash for this one

Tzeentch Lord of Change

That is just jaw-droppingly magnificent!

I did a spot of painting for a friend, one or two of the official Space Hulk figures
They turned out nice but the photos aren't great.

Awesome work! Love the genestealers, alien-looking

It turned out to be a really nice figure to paint and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I didn't use any metallic paint and its my first go at silver NNM

Based on ahriman's body and bits from the burning chariot.
Enjoy

Great conversion & paint job.
One minor criticism - some of the highlights look a bit chalky. They probably look much better in the flesh?

holy gak

Wow thats really nice, love the conversion and painting.

no your right there was a bit of an issue with some of the paint. not sure what caused it. I used a wet palate and Vallejo paints. maybe the paint was to wet or the mix separated on the palate over time painting I dunno.

1st Thousand Son's Obliterator construct
I love the Morghast model and just had to use it

Oh thats very impressive.

2nd Construct done

Wow those Obliterators are awesome. Nice Work. I am interested on knowing what models you used in the conversion.

Sorry didn't see Morghast model posted.

Those work really, really well! Nice painting, too.

Wow. Seriously impressive i so many respects and fantastic re-purposing of those Morghast, I can take the models seriously now.

is the altar of khaine the GW model? iirc the one from GW isn't as nice of a base kit. fantastic work on him

Altar of khaine? if you mean the Avatar on pg1 its forge world if not then, sorry but I don't know what your referring to.

Yes. I meant the avatar. Fantastic conversion of an already good kit

Made a bit of a Lord out of Lorgar
its the first Primarch figure I've bought and I must say its a lovely mini when you have it in your hands.
Enjoy

That is really, really cool. I think I like your cape choice better then the actually one.

So much win!

Making me want to start my 1k sons already, they've been brewing in the thought pot for a long time.

I love your use of the fantasy range, the tomb kings have some beautiful models just ripe for converting to the old gods of chaos.

Thanks
I find the Fantasy range offers a hell of a lot of options for 40k.
I used loads of elves, dark elves and dark elder for my Eldar army.
Fantasy monsters for daemons. I used a vampire head for a kitbash Maphiston.

If I ever do space wolves I want to do a fancy squad using the new dwarf weapons and armour. all them lovely runes.

Yeh currently working on a harle force (although been shelved for finishing up orks to match their new dex.... although DE new dex also.... AHH too many models!) I think you'd love my warwalker, im using the vamp counts mortis engine and other fantasy bits, the theme of the force being that your actually looking at them through the psychoactive drugs they use, hence they are all a little demonic
this is the gallery there in; http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-69018-41009_Harlequin%20Themed%20Force.html

Hmm i'd be very excited to see these space wolves.... on one condition.... you make them shorter too dwarf space wolves would be the funniest thing i'd ever seen

Well done once again.

Tzeentch Defiler

Wow, the blue and gold are just spectacular together!

Awesome work yet again. Kind of like the Khorne Great Brass Scorpion with a Thousand Sons look.

mm I took inspiration from the brass scorpion

Possessed Marines From the Gal Vorbak miniatures

THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!

Those are really unique figures. Very nicely painted as well.

Something a little different this time.

The Glottkin

there's a lot of little detail on this kit, I kept finding more but I really wanted to paint it.
I've magnetized Otto and Ethric so they can be used with out there huge little brother.
I've put this on ebay because I really just wanted to paint it not give it shelf space.
a little over a day left now.

I realy love the glotkinn

thank you. nice to paint messy Nurgle after all that Tzeentch

This guy started out as a deamon Prince many months ago but the lord of change disagreed.

What model is the head of that forgefiend from? I'd like to check it out

So good.

thisisnotpancho wrote:

Looks like the head from the old plastic highelf dragon (or more likely the DE black dragon), with the "forehead piece" from a khorne juggernaut. The egyptian head piece looks scratch built, and the nose ornament i didnt get a good look at.
Am I close?

Edit: nose ornament looks like a juggernaut head ornament.

Edit2: by the way nice model. Weird, but niceely done

spot on
DE dragon head, jugga face plate and nose spike. GS the rest.

thanks for the nice comments

Captured on the fields of the dead and employed by foul servants of the ruinous powers

The painting and modeling skills demonstrated in this thread are amazing. I am wavering back and forth between being inspired to want to match these accomplishments and feeling so inadequate that I never want to touch a paintbrush again! LOL.

But seriously, fantastic stuff!

thank you...please be inspired

I like that knight!
It looks weird in all the right places.
The snout/beard/stinger and nipples are really nice features that make it feel just right for the dark prince.
Only thing is the black beard stinger would look more integrated if the black moved up as a shade on the actual visor/faceplate. Perhaps.

Really creative conversions! I especially like the Slanneshi Knight Titan, eye catching colours! That blight drone is disgusting and slightly disturbing for all of the right reasons!

Amazing work!

Epic thread, VonKessler - as has been stated, great scratchbuilds and conversions.

Personal favorite (for the moment) is the Arachna-drone - creepy!

[edit - "great" not "create" ]

That is really an amazing piece of work VK. I had a hard time mentally wrapping my head around what you'd done when I first saw it on my phone. That's exactly how I think chaotic things should be... unorthodox, mind bending... something you look at and have no immediate frame-of-reference for. *applause*

Holy cow that Slaaneshi Knight is amazing.

I really like that Eidolon too, he looks sweet.

Bloodthirster
Took a little longer than it should have but the first one is done and comes with all weapon options magnetized and both wfb and 40k bases.

That deathwheel tho....

How'd you do the conversion?

there's more info on it on my Arklight page, just click the link

Great work I was wondering if it could be magnetized. Consider your idea borrowed.

Love the knight!

Hi, can anyone please tell me how those Obliterators were built? apart from the Morghast/Fiend parts? especially the face on the back. Thanks a lot.

the face on the back is from the undead sphinx kit as well as the bit in front of the stripy crest I made on his head.
gun is from the forgefiend, some GS pipes and the rest is morghast

Khorne Knight Titan

Based on the FW Knight I've added lord of skulls head, half of the right arm, skull thigh plates, shoulder pads and the front torso armour.
I've used a few little bits from the bloodthirster and warmonger boxs and the groin plate from the skull cannon

Wow that looks amazing

Looks so much better than the Lord of Skulls, and fits in with the Khorne theme just as well. Well done.

Finally someone who gets the scale of this type of conversion. Anytime I have seen Imperial Knight and Lord Of Skulls conversions they mostly look not proportioned. This however is spot on. I love it. Though an expensive conversion. Great Work

Alright... now you're just showing off!

.

Amazing work but My fave is definitely the Slaaneshy Knight.

I agree, I've wanted to do a lord of skulls walker for ages. all the ones I've seen are out of proportion, mostly using the GW knight legs which are too small. I've seen one I liked and that was on the defiler's six legs

I'm not wild on the bell device on top. Which is unfortunite, because the rest is pretty perfect. It just feels like it's to much, even for a giant robot infected by the plague.

The Red Tide

All of these are astounding, but I must say - your Abaddon especially stood out to me!! Keep them coming!!

Those berserker's are fantastic! Love all the work you do, keep it up. It's very inspiring and motivating!

Some fantastic stuff here - love those Tzeentch Obliterators!! However, any chance of a group shot of the Khornate stuff all together?

Just found this log. your tzeentch stuff is awesome! please make more!

Thank you, Tzeentch is on the back burner atm
maybe more when the daemonkin dex comes out. And I still need to do the Tzeentch Knight

Great work as always.

Warpsmiths of the Blood God rejoice! a use for the bottom half of your Lord of Skulls

Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage.

Wow... While all of your work is amazing, as always, that Lord of Skulls to Spartan Assault Tank conversion is a brilliant idea that stands out to me. Would you be willing to give us a tutorial on how you achieved such an awesome thing?

Yeah that looks really nice, reminds me a Genstealer Cult limo.

lol me too

if you pop to my Arklight Facebook page there's a photo of the Spartan unpainted. you can see what's LoS and what's plastic card

Khorne Bikers

Rapier Weapons Platforms

Crewed by Servitors so what would have been the two crew can now be 2 marines or two Renegade Malitia guards depending on what Dex you use for allies.
and 66% cheaper than FW's ones, lovely as they are.
With magnetized Quad heavy bolters so at some point I'll make other weapons for them

Enjoy

Stormcast Eternal

Is the gold on the Stormcast Eternal meant to be NMM? Because if it is, I feel like you need to push the contrast a little more to make it pop. Otherwise its nice, blending is well done.

Where is the tree from? And/or how did you make it?

Yeah, the metal on the hammer is great, but the gold just isn't quite there.

Lovely work on the blue, though.

The tree is from my garden, spray varnished before undercoating.

yeah the gold isn't quite there but its ok for an evenings fun paint. if I was going to use it for anything I think I'd go in with some darker shading

ok so it turns out I can't just leave it
did some quick shading and highlights

Adding the white to the metal really has an amazing effect... doesn't it?

Just a quick question... Is that conversion of that Khorne Vehicle using ONLY the bottom of the titan? Or are other bits needed too... Just wondering if it can be made with leftovers from the khorne walker kit.

Apart from oygrin shields for side doors and bolters, a tau top hatch and the two small exhaust (heavy flamers) its all the bottom half of the lord of skulls and plastic card.
there is an unpainted pic on my facebook page, link at the bottom

Awesome gradient work between the black and red but I think you went a bit to far in the pose. He looks like he is falling, not running. There is no way he can recover from that.

The extra work on the Sigmarite definitely helps. It's possibly more of a dirty brass than a gold, but looks much more metallic now.


Seconded on the dread... He's leaning too far forwards and needs more toe-contact on the supporting foot. The CCW arm being tucked in so close at the elbow adds to the awkwardness.

The paintwork is fantastic, though.

yeah I reposed him, though the angle of the photos made him look more like he was falling over than he was.

Haha, second pose is much better. I've always wondered if the ashmantle arm would work for a Contemptor.

blown away by the quality in this thread. I will have to creep thru it slowly and enjoy it piece do you have a blog??
