Cheers Tim, well hopefully I can get the Guardians and warlocks done by tomorrow! I do think I need to find a quicker way of painting white :(

you have lots of nicely painted models here;-)

Heh cheers mate, glad you like them

Well here is a update on those Warlocks, hopefully by the end of the day I will have those Guardians finished and I can start on the last two model from this batch.

I like your chapter master,

Glad I could inspire you.

Cheers mate, well you had a really good idea for a simple but effective conversion, i was debating if to keep the powerfists at one point. I decided against because I don't use special characters. I still think Calgar would make a excellent Thousands sons Sorcerer, the upper part of the terminator armour seems the perfect sort of shape.

Prime white. It makes painting white a snap. Also it makes painting yellow easy and i find that black and dark colors cover and look just fine on white primer. Priming white will make all of your colors more brilliant but you sacrifice "grittiness".

@ Crimsonmicc - I might well try that, guess I need to pop into GW tomorrow at some point then!

Well I decided to have ago at the games days sorcerer, to be honest I wasn't really sure what the best color was to paint it and I don't think I did the skin all that great, obviously very wip, feedback welcome.




Well here is some progress on the Guardians, I did however have some more arrive to day along with a few other bits.



I also decided to start on the warseer

Well I did some more work on the Farseer this morning, I redid the white as I was not at all happy with it, I think this has been a interesting learning experience for me on how to actually paint white properly.




I think its coming along nicely, I have lightened the green somewhat when compared to the warlocks, my aim is to get this finished along with the Guardians today.

Well here is a update on the Eldar, next batch of eldar is 10 warpsiders, 12 storm guardians, 5 banshee and a fire dragon exarch, next thing on the list however is the wardancers command group, I have never painted woodies before so this again should be a interesting experience!.

Autarch




See this is what happens when your painting late at night, i forgot to do a couple of bits on him! will have to do them before I send them off in the post!

Farseer




Guardians



The picture for the guardians hasn't come out out all that great, as its my birthday in December I think I will asking for a digital camera for

i like that farseer!

Cheers mate! I have done a demo model for the Ultramarine commission, hopefully my new camera will arrive in the next few days, will be a nice upgrade, 1.2 to 12.something! I do think a daylight lamp has helped somewhat with the picture.

Here is some more WIP's, I have tried using the new camera, trying to figure out what the best setting is (has far more than my old camera :( )




I have also retaken the pictures of the Banshee Exarch, partly of a comparison picture and partly so it can see better (I would never be able to get my old camera half as a close as that!)




I'm not exactly sure why the Banshee picture came out better than the others, I had it on the same settings and everything??

The colours might have had an affect, or perhaps it was just focussed a bit better for that one? Oh and by the way, that Exarch looks great!

Might of even been the distance I took the picture at, I was pretty close and I always forget just how much bigger the pictures are in comparison to my old camera.

Cheers mate, I do think think the green is a bit dark on the Exarch, I will redo that when I start the rest of the unit.

Well mate, if you want to pay a lot more for the sake of a week of your choice, anyways I am doing a secret Santa on another forum, I thought I would have a go at NMM, here is a WIP.





Automatically Appended Next Post:
Well here are a few more updates.

Banshee Unit WIP



obviously still a early wip, once I finish the armour at least that is the bulk of the painting done on them.

Ultramarine's




First combat squad done, i need to go into town and get some greenstuff so I can make a start on the sergeant, hopefully I will get these finished tomorrow, I am getting a bit annoyed with the new camera, I can't really see what I am doing wrong photowise, daylight lamp, half decent camera resting on a flat surface :(

Well here is a update on the banshee's



Here is a update on the secret Santa




Well I decided this model has been sitting about long enough so I thought I had better make a start on it, with the crappy errata to juggers I need a new general to my army, the cloak is experiment. As I have said before I have decided to go back and repaint my older models, I was trying to find a color that would work better with the dark look of my chaos army, I think I might use the same color on my Chaos warriors but I am not 100% sure if I like it or not.




Photos are also taken on the exactly the same setting, cant see why the banshee's came out darker....

Well here are some minor updates, first is I have finished the chaos troll, I am in half a mind about painting some blood on the club, I will leave it for now.




Next one is the Khorne Lord/Exalted, I have started to highlight the chaos steed, I don't plan on making the black highlights to extreme, maybe another two stages which should end up slightly darker than shadow grey. I also have some more work to do on the blood, I need to darken it, the next stage of this will be a 50/50 mix of Tamyia clear red/black wash. I think I have finally decided, the cloak is the color I am going to use on my Chaos knights/warriors/etc.




Suggestions welcome, later on tonight I am going to have ago at making that Gamesdays sorcerer look a lot cooler, I will be painting the robe the same color as the cloak on my Chaos lord, The skin I might actually go for a much paler color.

Well here is a small update on my Chaos warrior repaint, I had ago at doing some of Khorne warriors with great weapons, they are certainly not finished, please bear in mind I originally painted this when the Chaos warrior models first came out, this is more of a patch up job, if Forgeworld release Khorne warrior models these all may get replaced.

I still need to finish the blood on the weapons, metal around horns, wood, bones and weapon grips, belts, I may well do another highlight on the boots however I was going for a more subtle look. I would also like to see if I can get hold of more of the chaos knights hand weapons from ebay and replace all the weapon heads in the unit, I may also look into getting some resin bases for them in the near future, I have also liked the idea of a ruined temple base.

Lookin' good! I really like the cloak on the Chaos lord.

_Tim?

Cheers Tim, i was a bit worried at first the cloaks color wouldn't stand out from the armour enough.

Well here is some updates on the WoC, I am now just waiting on a bitz order to arrive from america so I can finish the great weapons, here is a picture of what my Great weapon warriors used to look like.




This is as far as I have got so far one the repaint, I still have the boots to highlight and I need to make the fur look a bit better.





I am also looking into getting some resin bases but i really cant decide what the best one to get for my Khorne Warriors and Jugger hero, here the kinda ones I am thinking about.

This one for the jugger lord (or I have seen some cool looking temple ones as well).

I have also started on the banner on my Tzeentch unit

Well here is a another update on my WoC, first up is my Khorne warriors with great weapons, i think I am pretty much happy with the result now, All I am waiting for is some more chaos warriors to arrive in the post so I can convert the final 3. As you can see I have decided to totally change the the way I do my bases in future. I am not going to be using skulls on all my chaos, my Tzeentch warriors will use the destroyed temple bases.



Here is a start to my hellcannon

Updates on several commissions

Eldar First







Ultramarines



Wood Elf

Here we go, some updates on the Eldat commission work.

Right been a little while since I updated this, finished the Eldar commission now, next up is another Ultramarine commission of a Raven Wing battle force which is for a tournament end of Feb, As well as this I have a Blood Angels tactical squad to paint, a Dark Eldar army (old models sadly :( ), possibly a Skaven army and possibly another Ultramrine commission to work on.

Anyways here is the Eldar.











Another little thing I have been working on for someone which will be a belated Xmas present now is this.

It's all looking good, my friend.

Cheers mate, well i think enough people are thinking the same as i am getting offered plenty of work via this site, bit annoyed I took the eldar to the post office on Xmas Eve and didn't know they closed early so i had to cart that round town all day (bloody places closed at 12.00, alright for some!).

Some WoC bits

Khorne Lord




So what is left to do:

tweak base in places
repaint his right arm
reduce the amount of blood on head in left hand
redo chipped bits

I plan to either finish that tonight or tomorrow.

Look good, other than the stuff that you mentioned. Also, that Axe is just too.. un-chaosy. It needs more blood and skulls. Maybe paint a symbol of Khorne on the axe?

I believe that axe is from the Shaggoth and all though it is awesomely huge, I agree with darkvoid, in that, it's too plain for a Khorne Lord. Really, it's too plain for the Shaggoth IMO. Some dangly chains and skulls would probably dress it up enough, though. Other than that he looks sweet. I like the head/face on the Juggernaught.
