Beautiful mate simply beautiful............

@ sluggaslugga:
Thanks, man ^^
You sure you love every miniature? What about the ancient ones? :-P

@ jetjetex:
Thanks - have a look at my tutorial. It's a little old, but the basics are still the same.

@ pomyboy:
Thanks

Update!

Now with a base - I feel so cheap! oO
Hope you like the shattered stained glass; I wanted to have something like a ruined park here.


Bigger version

Ok! Thank you, I'll be sure to take a look, and your Chaplain looks great too!
Can't wait to see more.

He is absolutely stunning! My one comment would be that I think the skull helmet and parchment need to have slighty different colourings. They seem too similar there...

amazing work, i really like your paint style!

Pretty much everything here is thoroughly awesome, but I'm particularly impressed by some of the detail on that Chaplain. The stained glass looks great, and the text on the hanging parchment... Damn, I'm getting cramps in my hand just thinking about how you'd do that. Excellent.

Loving all your work, good stuff bro.

Here's the latest addition to my almost completed DW squad.

[spoiler=Brother Ganbaatar of the White Scars][/spoiler]

Btw, "Ganbaatar" means "steel hero".
I hope I managed to bring the hunter-like attitude across.

Love the chaplain

Well, hmm, it all looks so, so, well bad @$$. Great work!!

I don't know if it was your intention to put Chuck Liddell in power armour when you made that DW White Scar, but he looks awesome regardless. The effect on the power sword is really good.

...arma mea possunt.

This - or something very much akin to that - will be my "shiny" new Nurgle lord's personal motto.
He's not finished yet, as you might have guessed, and will have his base in a few days; a deadly and yet life-birthing swamp. Also, I'll take some (hopefully) much better pictures on saturday.

I wanted a very calm pose and, if possible, an air of tranquility for him; he's supposed to look like he's experienced everything at least once (including death itself) and regards the battlefield - or maybe a rotten piece of nature or landscape - with the wisdom of ages (aeons?). Bringing death is his destiny; seeing (new) life flourish his joy.
He's not a tragic character, because he enjoys both. I want him to be a benevolent and grandfatherly fatalist.
"Do not defy death - mors certa, hora incerta".



Hope you like him and that the amount of converting and gs'ing is obvious

Your painting technique is par excellence!

Take good care of those hands!

The blacks of your models is stunning! Beautifully highlighted...goddamnit they're all beautifully highlighted!

Great minis! Some really gorgeous green stuff and paintwork.

Strictly speaking, though, there being a number of unfinished bases in here disqualifies the thread from Showcase. I'm moving to P&M Blogs for now; if you'd prefer general P&M, alert a mod and we'll move it.

@ Brushfire:
Don't worry, I'm about to become a teacher - I HAVE to keep my hands off everything that might be dangerous xD
Thank you, friend

@ TheGunslinger:
Thank you - most credit actually goes to my girlfriend; she urged me to place stronger highlights.

@ Mannahin:
Thanks a lot!

Don't worry about the moving; if that means I get to open a new thread for every miniature I finish, I'm just as happy as before.

The first bunch of termagants painted for a competition with a friend of mine - the goal is for each of us to paint up an entire army of 1000 points of tyranids.
So far, so good! 15 more gaunts to go, as well as 3 warriors, 1 Tyrant, 1 Carnifex, 1 Zoantrophe, 10 Genestealers.

Nice Gaunts, Rogan! The white carapace plays nicely off there dark skin tone and the blue accents. Lookin' forward to seeing the rest of this force.
