Been a while since I posted any new work.

I haven't been enthused to take photos with my big computer in shipment from Japan.

But Hola, it arrived today, so I bothered to take some photos of the dude I finished today.

The 2nd Sanguinary Guard. Only 23 more to go.







And a shot so far of what is painted for my Blood Angels.



Comments as always, welcome.

Sweet, I thought you were in OZ now not japan.

I am in Australia, tho visiting Japan again next week.

Ah, any plans on any of the forgeworld MK VI or any other MK?

Thought I'd pop back in see how its all going and then I see your latest Sang guard....I mean honestly why do you do it too me? Thanks RP, I was feeling really good about my painting and now I have to go back and practice even more.

Great stuff as always, any chance of a walk through of how you did the sang blades? I guessing just slow progression highlights but did you use any washes or the like?

The Sang guard look really good, I really like the power sword

I really like the Sanguinary Guard, though in my personal opinion, the blue eyes are out of place.

whenever i see your blood angels it makes me want to go out and buy a few buy a few of those boxs and convert them up for my Dark Angles
your work is amazing O_O

jaw dropping they are amazing! great work!

Nice work, Your updates are always good

Stunning. Thanks so much for posting this work.

It is just wrong for a newby to be so good! No that being wrong is a bad thing in this case! I am very impressed, the red is masterful.

If you have twitter, you might be interested in my new twitter feed; minipainttips

I will be posting at least 1 (sometimes more) paint tips a day. Very small, simple tips that i have learned myself, that i read, or that i notice on the internet.

Follow now, maybe you'll notice something new you didnt know!

Oooh, how modern of you RP, lol.

I figure if everyone is doing something it's worth a try

haha, yeah sounds good. Hows it all going. You said you were back in Aus now. Is that a permanent move?

These pics almost make me regret not just improving my Blood Ravens instead of switching armies...

But so many minis were damaged, DA robes were the only way to cover it all up :(

I like your painting style. Everything is so smooth and clean.. Maybe of smoothest whites I've ever seen. And that gold is amazing too.. And man the power swords look great..

Very good job.

If you could show how you did those Blood Ravens it would be awesome!

been a while since the last update, just been focused on unpacking?

I need a painting teacher that teaches me how to do it like you ):

When are the next updates going to arrive, I'm looking forward to seeing some well painted marines...

wow fantastic Blood Ravens...I really love the blues of the librarians, time to practice, practice, practice mr thinks, hope I can get mine half as good as those.

Sorry for the slow updates thesedays,

But since coming home to Australia, I have hav e friends to hang out and game with, study to do, plces to go.

In Japan every weeknight I had nothing to do but sit in my room and paint.

The updates are slow because I have been playing lots of games of 40k, or playing boardgames.

I am hopping to have another sanguinary guard finished tonight, tho!

Painting miniatures is no substitute for a real life. Congrats Roleplayer, glad you're back where life is rich and varied! Make the most of it.

Hey man, first time seen this thread and been through all the pages, you are very skilled and your models look beautiful...

Heresy! It's supposed to be the other way around! Having a life is no excuse for not keeping your fans happy and content with pictures of painted army men!

1st stage complete.

Regionals is next week.

Wohoo! Good luck mate

Congrats Roleplayer, well deserved!
