Hi all!! Lurker for very long time, and with the apparent final death of Warseer I think this will be my new home. I guess I will update slowly some of my old photos, but for the moment here is the first bite, my progress with my Alpha Legion warband. Automatically Appended Next Post: First, Alpha Legion Chosen!

I think he looks absolutely stunning.
One minor criticism would be that the grenades look a bit like mushrooms, but then again it's the Alpha Legion, so who knows?
45248
Post by: muette
Thank you both! @DoctorDanny I put myself on a chromatic puzzle that I'm also not so sure I solved right, but I had stuck with it with the other models just for consistency check. Let's assume they are load up with confusing psychotropics
I've just finalized the Aspiring champion, I'm ultra happy with the cape and the small nmm rim, not so much with the metallics in general. Hope you like it!

Very impressive work. I have to admit when these models came out I hated all the faces and stuff coming out of the armor, but seeing your work makes me realize it was just the GW paint scheme. The way you've painted them is really cool.

Welcome to dakka muette, and what an entrance! The Alpha Legion colours you’ve chosen look awesome on the Dark Imperium marines. The blend in to the daemonic faces from the armour are lovely! Any chance you can bowl us all over with an Army shot?

Thanks all!!! @Stevefamine: actually two sheets of foamboard and a lamp, but my mobile does actually good photos!
@Ragsta: The classics come back!! Nice ot see you
Well, in order to remember the recepie for the bone armour, I've started with some veeery old Terminators I had pending to repaint. Hope you like them!

And following up with classics, Brother Bethor! With a custom Standard of Fortitude, I was able to replicate it in 3d with Zbrush, really happy with the result!

For a completely different topic, I've being painting in parallel a full team of Lizardmen for Bloodbowl. All of them in two weeks (in parallel to brother Bethor) and using all the quick painting techniques I know. Happy with the result!

Some serious banner work you’re putting In muette! Lovely work, are they all freehand?
45248
Post by: muette
Thanks gobert!! Actually they are 3d printed in resin, I designed them myself using Zbrush and inspiring myself on some of the old banners shown in 4th-5th edition DA codexes.

Self designed 3d prints are as cool (maybe cooler?) as freehand. Great designs and really well painted!

That's chaos-y alright! Great conversion. There seems to be plenty of sculpting going on as well?
45248
Post by: muette
Hi mcmattila, yes there is a little bit of greenstuff there, mainly the legs (joining the boots to the body), filling the whole in the belly and the joint between the arm and the claw.
Aaaaand it's a wrap! Commisar and flenser finished Group shot!
61018
Post by: Guardling
Another neat not-very-chaosy guardsman!
Not a criticism by the way, I alway found it strange that it's all or nothing with traitor guard and none of the slow turn some of your minis have...
84491
Post by: gobert
That’s a great ragtag band of traitor guard, they mesh pretty well together. The commissar looks like he could do with seeing an Apothecary though
45248
Post by: muette
Thank you both! @gobert actually I wrote a bit of background for the team, and the commisar was the first one to fully fall to chaos, due to some voices he started to hear after taking some drugs that the doctor from the regiment received from his home world...
Going back to the full light of the Emperor, here are two sons of the Lion finished!

Post by: gobert
Lovely colour on the Alpharius’s, is it contrast over a silver, then highlighted back to silver?
45248
Post by: muette
Hi Gobert, yes the "cobalt/blue" metallics are done using Akhelian Green over metallic, and highlighted with a mix of Akhelian + Silver.
And after a month and a half, here is the explanation of my absence!
Brother Turiel, Guardian of the last keys, Deathwing Dreadnought Redemptor. Lovely figure to paint and to make unique, I've pushed my skills with the airbrush and the freehand in order to make it pop. Hope I have achieved it!
84491
Post by: gobert
Sweet Dreadnought! The glow on the plasma is super glowy! The heraldry is really cool, nice gradients on the individual colours.

He looks cool, though I’m afraid part of me is disappointed he wasn’t painted to blend in to the base, including a white stripe!
45248
Post by: muette
Thanks for the kind comments!!
@gobert: I wanted to do it quickly so went full for airbrush and inks for the majority of it, didn't wanted to do any special effect. Lorewise excuse is that in the middle of the game even Chamaleons want to be seen, so full colour on it!!
And today I have finished my second Knight, only three to finish the unit!

The terminators look great. Will you be kit bashing the leftovers with the new bigger terminators coming soon?
45248
Post by: muette
That would have been great, if not by the fact that I 3d printed the missing legs/back torsos and shoulderpads to build a total of 10 termies from a single box. So even if the new sculpts look amazing, I will refrain myself on buying them on the short term hahah

Excellent work Muette! The sliminess of the tentacle arm is a nice touch. Did you put a gloss on that or is it just good highlighting?
84491
Post by: gobert
Great couple of posts muette. The dark helmet on the Deathwing was a good shout, gives him a broody look. Love the flaming skulls on the possessed too, really nicely done
45248
Post by: muette
Thanks all for your kind comments!
@Olthannon: No gloss, I did last highlights almost with pure white precisely to make it all reflective and wet (and disgusting).
Now to round up my Orrukz, boss for my looted Mournfang is finished!!
123017
Post by: Olthannon
Nice one Muette! Nice work on the horns and fur.
121677
Post by: mcmattila
Excellent paintwork on the Possessed! My favorite elements are the gem eyes and the scale pattern on his chest, but really, all of the elements are great!
Also, I can't really tell why, but that Orruk on Mournfang gives me a warm and nostalgic feeling, like something from when I was a kid just getting to Warhammer. Probably the green base rim, maybe also the relatively clean paintjob... In any case, lovely work!

Gotta agree with the others, the fleshy tones are great on the possessed, especially that butt!

I have now finished another AL possessed. This one has all the skin done with brushwork, as it didn't have enough exposed to justify using the airbrush, and I wanted to take the challenge and play with green undertones. Hope you like it.

Woah, he’s a freaky lad, great work. The skin looks pretty good to me

Ok, so after two months of work I have something new to show:
Soooooo happy with this one. Lot's of opportunities to try new things ( OSL and textures mainly) and also sculpting techniques. Basically this is the top of my game currently. Now to relax myself and paint some squigs or something xD
123017

Wow you should be happy with this, it rocks! The OSL is great and the wings look brilliant. The burning Cadian flag on the base? That's such an awesome piece.

As a palette cleanser, a smal project! I have another 3 of these dudes, I will intercalate my remaining possessed with them

@gobert basically with the airbrush! I paint the coils in light grey, paint the general area with a medium blue, then the center of the coil with pure white, and then it's a back and forth between light blue, white, and going a bit dark on the edges.
And now, for something completely differnt, Orcs! For Orctober!

Well, I've not dissappeared, buuuut I had quite a project in my hands!
Lion el'Johnson, the Primarch, the big dude himself. Had a vision on the base, and I'm quite proud to say that the result is preeetty near to what I thought about. There are things that could be quite much better (worms look like croissants, some gaps not filled, things like that) but all and all, very proud with the result. Hope you like it!

Fantastic piece- truly excellent work!
There are so many balances of color that draw the eye that you don't realize the detail involved until you refocus: the dead critter on the base, the cloak, the hood, the shield, the sword and its powerful sheen. Excellent use of color and contrasting trim detail. The figure itself has excellent animation, which you've enhanced by making it part of its base/environment, not just sticking it onto a nicely terrained base.
Lots of fun to just look at.
Rock on!

Thank you all for your kind comments!! Glad you liked the little Lion, it was quite the effort but I'm happy too with the result.
Now I keep on working on the goblin BB team. Here is some Greebo goodness, Troll, troll markers, and the last lineman I needed to paint:

The Lion is beautifully done mate. Great palette and detail work - the cape is lovely and the base is cherry on top. Now the real question - are you a ham and cheese or a jam and butter on your croissants kinda guy?
Great progress on the Blood Bowl team as well. Love the blue on the trolls, and the gobbo blocker trying to look tough as nails!
Thanks for sharing 8-)

Lion looks amazing, same with the gobbos - Your color choices are spot on and I love the mirroring effect you get with both his cape and the dead gribblies.

Love these guys, especially those troll markers. The one with the stars spinning around his head is superb!

Beautiful work, as others have said the troll markers are a lot of fun too

I think I have seen a few fans at a game or two that looked like those trolls.
Very well done.

Thank you all for the kind comments dears, you leave fuzzy feelings in my heart :3
What better way to continue my painting journey than to paint some true classic old metal goblins, Now is the time for Skarsnik and Gobbla, true lord of Karak Eight Peaks:

The red to purple transition on the ol' squig is spectacularly 90s. I wholeheartedly approve!

Thank you fellow DakkaDakka citizens!
I have now started a second unit of Boar boyz. Here the first two:

The edge highlighting on the shields is amazing and leads me to believe you to be the patron saint of patience (and steady hands). Great job!

Looking good muette! How many boar boys does that make?

Post by: muette
Thanks all!!
@gobert: With these two I have 7 regular boar boys all done, 3 remaining to complete 2 squads of 10. And in the pile of opportunity I have another 5 regular boar boys, Gorbad Ironhand and an Orc Savage Shaman. That I will paint at some undetermined point in time xD.
Now I have finished the Watchers in the Dark that came with the Lion. I will probably use them as glorified markers, but they are so cute I did want to give them a proper painjob.

20 boar boyz would be an impressive sight!
Great work on the watchers too, they’re super cool

Absolutely stunning work on Skarsnik and Gobbla! The classic style is well executed: the high contrast, volumetry, sharp edges and the green base rims. Chef's kiss!
Great work on the Boar Riders and Watcher's as well!

And I keep with the green vibe! Couple more goblins for my BB team, plus a couple of ball markers from Greebo. Hope you like them!

Thank you all as always!
This time I've been faster than I expected. I wanted a challenge, and as I was going to start painting a Mordheim undead band (and a future witch hunters one too, but that in the future!), I used this opportunity to spice things on the painting side. I went for a limited palette of only 4 colors: black, white, red and ochre (also known as Zorn palette). And... it was a blast! Really enjoyable, no analysis-paralisis trying to decide for the next color, all was always there for me to mix.
So here the result, first zombies coming from the Zondara Underworlds band, hope you like them!

Magnificent work on the zombies. The goblin assassin from earlier is also top- notch.

Great work on the zombies muette. Their skin has a lovely sickly palor to it
