Look what I found in my dads loft.

It might be 1 of the first mini's I painted. I can't find the rest of the spacehulk game, dam.

I'm trying to chaos the Lord up a bit more, with arrows.

What do you think?

**Fairfeldia**

looking good

**tipios**

Thanks Fairfeldia!!

Tonight I started attempting NNM gold.

Still needs more highlights.

Also almost ready to paint my entry into the "pimp my sorcerer compo." which is why I'm trying out some NNM. I hope I can do a really nive paint job on him!!

Wow! Awesome start on this NMM staff, I wish I could do something like that! Did you use the same paints as for the IW dread?
I bet the sorcerer will be great too!

**tipios**

Thanks alot Joe

Yes it is the same paints, but then went up to sun yellow, then started adding bleached bone. Then when back over in places with sepia wash, to get it darker again. All the paints were watered down about 1:7, so each layer was like a glaze.

I still need to do the highest highlights, then I need to make the eye glow, finally I can try Yggdrasil's glow TUT

Then I need to finish the rest of the model lol!

**Yggdrasil**

Yeah, that NMM looks awesome!!!

The Pimp my Wizard dude looks good too, but a little too thin for a Space Marine IMHO...

I bet it would fit better if he was some kind of (militia / cult witch) (affiliated to / worshipping) the Night Lords...

The wings are especially stunning!

Thanks Yggdrasil, I hope to use you glow technique on it next

I love the new scourge wings, thats why I used them on this and on the termie Lord.

He can easlierly be changed to a cult chap, if it fits better

Would he be a cult sorcerer?

**GiraffeX**

The NNM gold is looking really nice.

Every time I see the lord it looks more impressive, the arrows are great.

That old terminator brings back a lot of old memories.

**tipios**

Thanks GiraffeX

I was hoping I could find all the genestealers from the spacehulk, but no luck:(

**tipios**

Trying to paint my pimped sorcerer today. I hate blue

**Limbo**

Why is that? I think it looks pretty good

**GiraffeX**

Asurmen Blue ink wash is your friend for painting blue.

**tipios**

@limbo - thanks, but I took me a couple of goes to get it to that

@giraffex - I will look into that

**bunnygurl**

Great NMM! Looks like you'll be an ol' pro at that in no time. Good luck with your sorcerer.

...I need a sandwich.

**tipios**

Thanks alot bunnygurl

and now you've made me hungry, I need sandwich too

This +1!

I am hoping to actually get some progress soon! I did get some forward momentum on my autocannon havoc, but I haven't taken pics yet. Everything looks great! I love the Pimped Sorc so far! The lava is very good! And the blue looks great! Keep it up!

**tipios**

Thanks RSjake, I just checked out your update on your reaper cannon, very coooool!!

**tipios**

Just a quick update, of termie idea. Influenced by Lamys termies, but sticking with my GK bodys, I'm trying this out-

**Squigsquasher**

Consider this subscribed to.

And while you're at it, restart your Dreadnought blog!

**IXLoiero95XI**

Wow mate, your work so far has been f***ing amazing. This is unreal, you have so great skill with green stuff.

Can't wait to see the army done and paint. Keep it up

**tarar2d2**

I really like your chaos termi lord, however can I suggest that you ad wires from the hood to the helmet. just an idea

**ghostmaker**

Good looking conversions !

**tipios**

Thanks for the comments guys!!!

Sorry, I've been away from models for a while, so no updates, but am starting up again soon

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Nice to see you around and good to hear new stuff coming in the future. I enjoy the work you do.

**tipios**

Thanks, Skalk mate

**Lamby**

Nice work on the chaosification of the GK termies - and thanks for the free advertising haha!
Love the Chaos dread blog too!

**tipios**

Thanks Lamby

These have been left on the shelf for a while I need to get back on them

**tipios**

I really want to finish of this termie lord.

So finally glued wings in place, and added pads.

Only problem is I tried NMM on the staff, whitch means I'll have to continue that for the rest of the gold trim

**GiraffeX**

I think NMM is a very good idea and looks really nice

**Biohazard**

Your attempt at NMM looks great!

I'm looking forward to this guy painted up.
