This gorgeous level 3 Kabuki Steam Knight limited edition model was also based to a level 3 standard. The end result is a subtle, beautiful model with great use of colors and blending to really set off a gorgeous model!

That's pretty awesome, Reecius! Are you still posting vids on BoLS?

Thanks! And we have not had time to film anymore Tips, Tricks and Dirty Tactics videos lately, but we will again soon!

This beautiful level 3 paint job and based Iyanden Eldar army really came out great. Awesome basing, layered yellows, grays and blues and green highlights really set this army apart from the norm.

Looks sharp!! I like your painting style!

I read an earlier post about some tanks, someone commented about the cammo looking "sprayed" on, let me assure you it looked fine! When the Army paints vehicles it's sprayed on, we didn't brush on the cammo, we painted our own vehicles, we didn't send them off to a high speed cammo painting place... lol Painted out own and it looked sprayed on...
You have the layer paitning down pat!

@Kelly502

Thanks! Yeah, we thought they were cool too, and the client loved them, so it's all good. We appreciate the support, too!

These awesome level 2 Retribution of Scyrah models came out great! The client asked us not to base them so we didn’t. Check out the beautiful fade from dark to light grey on the carapace of the Myrmidons! - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/retribution-of-scyrah/#sthash.Di0Lzeyk.dpuf

Love both the Ret and Iyanden armies. I always find models that are almost completely white to be so hard to do, and these look amazing.

Thanks! Yeah, they came out really well, our studio has been killing it lately.

You don't have to tell me twice, I just got pictures of the Eldar being painted up to level 1 for me! I couldn't be happier, I will have to send you some pictures after I base them and put on the insignia.

Holy Mackerel, those Eldar are absolutely top-notch! 1000 gemstones? Yes, it's believable, but - if true - when you think about it, that is actually quite amazing. If not a joke, of course Really wonderful thread, I'll be sure to follow along!

Thanks, glad you like them, cosmic!

@Overwatch

Glad you liked them!

Our Taudar army we are raffling off at the LVO!

More pics!

Sweet Jesus these last tau pics are gorgeous! Aaaaamazing!

@avedominusnox

Thanks! Really appreciate that!

Here's a new one!

This beautiful level 3 paint job Necron Nightshroud Bomber came out great! It features some great airbrush blending and some beautiful pearling on the fins! - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/necron-nightshroud-bomber/#sthash.Q2AHw7o8.dpuf

That pearling is just plain beautiful. I need to practice with my airbrush more...

That technique actually uses glazes! But a lot of the rest of it was airbrushing.

And, your Eldar are done, brotha! They look awesome. We just need to base them, they should be in the mail Monday or Tuesday!

I got update pics on Saturday, I am really happy. I am thinking that may be the army I take to the LVO!

You should have some of your artists do some video tutorials on these techniques. While I have almost no time to paint anymore, hence the commissioned Eldar, I think they do some great work. That pearl effect using glazes is a prime example of what they have to offer to the other painters in the community. Just some food for thought for after you're done having no life or time due to the LVO.

I love this effect! If I may ask, how did you get the glaze to dry in the varying thicknesses without creating rings? I've been having bad luck with my attempts at glazes due to how they dry...

@Brillow80

It is stippled metallics with a glaze of choice over it, comes out great! To avoid rings? I honestly don't know, we haven't had that issue, but try using a medium.

New Commission completed! Word Bearers Chaos Space Marines! http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/word-bearers-chaos-space-marines/

Nice looking, WB's. A little too bright for my personal tastes, but still well done. Any reason for the completely bland bases or for not painting the plasma coils on the plasma guns?

Usually this is because of what the customer asked/paid for. For example FLG recently painted a small Iyanden army for me with bare bases because I wanted to base them myself. It's funny how often this topic comes up in the various commission painting threads.

@Moltar

As OverwatchCNC pointed out, we do as the customer asks =) Sometimes they want things that other people may not agree with, but we do what we are paid to do.

@Thread

This Tau commission is a great example of a level 1 paint job with level 2 basing. The basing really helps so spice up the models a lot, and the simple level 1 paint job is great for a table top standard to get you playing the game with a fully painted force on a budget! - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/tau-suits/#!prettyPhoto

YO THIS IS SOOOOOO EPIC!!! I now have you subscribed on both here and youtube!!

Thanks, Sneshy! Much appreciated!

These are gorgeous level 3 paint job and level 3 basing Ravenwing and Deathwing! They feature blending, layering and extensive detail work. Please excuse the poor pictures, the lighting was off and I lost some detail on the shots, unfortunately. - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/ravenwing-and-deathwing/#!prettyPhoto

These beautiful level 3 paint job and level 3 basing Eldar models came out extremely well. They feature all kinds of advanced painting techniques such as the stippling on the blue of the models as well as blending as well as coloring the crystals on the Fire Prism!

These fantastic level 3 paint job and level 3 basing Tau showcase some freehand Tau marking, blending and layered highlighting. The Suit Commander has also been re-positioned to have a more dignified stance as opposed to the very dynamic stance he normally comes in. - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/tau-farsight-and-suit-commander/#sthash.jBWxy6yj.dpuf

These level 2 and 3 paint job Tau are put painted in a Farsight color scheme. They feature level 1 basing in an urban style theme, freehand camo on the tanks, multiple levels of highlights, and layering work to create a great looking army! - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/farsight-tau/#sthash.M7z2jUtK.dpuf

The Level 2/3 paint jobs look so much better than the level 3 farsight and commander....to me at least. Maybe it's the pictures.
