Hey all!

I just wanted to post this army I painted last month from the third moon of N'dras! This is a temperate climate themed army, and an official Games Workshop color scheme.

The customer gave me free reign on this army, and out of two schemes I have always wanted to do, I went with this one knowing his taste in colors. It was a lot of fun to paint and a good excuse to make some new backdrop terrain.

I hope you enjoy and until next time!

Pretty insane. Who has the money for these projects:<

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless and perfunctory gift nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing left to drink. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or a English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a. An empty box, filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

Amazing work ! I'm sure the client must be over the frickin' moon.


... i shudder to think what this cost in terms of both material and comissioning the painting.

I too would really love to know how the bases were done. Did you paint each leaf individually? Dear lord. How long does something like this take?

That is a lot of Tau with a very good paint job. Well done.

Thats crazy amazing. The Tau always interested me. Their unification for the greater good is just so simple but yet the strongest source of any army. The ability to actually beleive their cause is greater than even religeon.

Amazing work and cant imagine how many hours were put in doing these. How many points is this army?

Holy Feth...

I think that this paint job is amazing! An N'dras themed army is exactly what I have wanted for a long time. Is there a place where I could find your info on getting my army commissioned? Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

Excellent work as always. Was particularly taken with the kroot and hounds, really like the contrast between body and spines.

Your work is amazing. That army looks spectacular. I have to ask though, what would you charge for something like to be painted if the customer supplied the models?

Im curious too. A couple grand at least, I would assume.
These took longer than normal, am I right? That is a lot of edge highlighting.

Nice job.

PM me about commission.

Delightful as always! Are those the Secret Weapon Miniatures fallen leaves? Nice basing! It gives them a decidedly coniferous feel to them.

Brandon - I am not sure what to say. If you had told me the colour scheme before hand I would have laughed at you, but holy cow! This is gorgeous! I knew it was the right thing to do to let you have complete artistic freedom.

Lots of points, and just enough money.

Very happy, and pants adjusted.

I have answered the question before on previous armies about 'how much?' - I paid less than what it is worth to me.

Brandon is a stand-up guy that I trust with thousands of dollars of models alone. He has never disappointed me, and I know that he never will. Come to Adepticon, shake his hand, buy him a beer, and talk some shop. I promise you you won't walk away disappointed.
