You need to paint some more Warmachine!

I'm happy you've scored some Hitech stuff! I'm quite the fan of their stuff ;-) I know some don't like the semi blocky aspect the poses have but what they do they do well imo, the details are crisp and they have some different ideas for design and aesthetics which is good to see. Looking forward to some paint on these and would love your opinion on the models from a "Professional Painter" point of view lol! :-)

Oh you tease!

@Gitsplitta: Thanks, I shall.

@Nafarious: Throw models and money at me and I will! Well, maybe I can manage to pick up some inexpensive Warmachine models some time and paint them.

@Moltar:



First WIP on the Night Lords guy:




so far it's all basecoats and basic highlighting. The blue and the gold 'pop' very well already.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Update! Just because I'm happy I can post updates again. It's also nice just sitting and painting one character figure from start to end.

Getting close to the finishing line:


The base obviously needs some more work.

That's a sweet looking "finish line." The blades on the power claw look exceptionally awesome.

Stunning Siggy... simply stunning.

Thanks, guys.

@Moltar: I'll write a review on the model once it's done, but one kind of annoying thing was that the blades on the lightning claw actually come as very chunky, square parts. They're curved and have some detailling at the end where they connect with the "fist" part but you basically have to chop them down to being at least slightly pointy and having an edge on the insides. It's a bit weird.

Early WIP of The Other Guy (supposed to become a Blood Angel at some point):


Here's finished Night Lords Lord:






Hope you like him.

Wow that Night Lords Lord is draw dropping Sigur, I wish I had even the slightest amount of painting skill you have.

Very nice.
I like the lightning on the armour. Convincing shape to it. I assume it's just layered up from blue to white?

Welcome back !!

sigur, that Night Lord is just terrifying. outstanding work!

@GiraffeX: Thanks, that's very flattering.

@Dr H: Cheers. Yes, the lightnings are done in a very traditional way. At first I considered playing around with glases a lot as well but actually it just didn't prove to be necessary. So just layering here.

@Yggdrasil: Thanks.

@San76: Thank you very much!


Well, I'm glad that the mini went over so well. Here's a close-up shot of the face (had to brighten up the picture and ramp up the contrast a little so the face is more visible.



Just a little detail so you know that it's not just the tip of the nose sticking out from dark nothingness.

Nicely done, Siggy. Lightning looks really good and so does the gold on the rims of his huge shoulder pads.

@Yggdrasil: Thanks.

Yeah, right, so I'm one page late.... Is that serious ?!?

Astonishing (like, in ) job on your Night Lord... The lightning are much neater than mine... I'll have to try that !!!

@Moltar: Many thanks, sir!

@Yggdrasil: It's okay. Thanks for the comment!

New WIP on the Blood Angels fella:



I do love a good red.

Coming along nicely, Siggy.

O.K now I really want to paint that model and pop it in my Flesh eaters force! you are certainly doing a 'a good red' justice! nicely painted so far dude! i'm looking forward to how you do the wings!

Thats a spectacular model, looks nothing like a blood angel I have seen before.

@Dysartes: Cheers!

@nerdfest09: Thanks very much, gave the red a few more layers.

@Nafarious: Thank you. Well, at least he's got some feather-y wings...



Update:






Well, the Night Lords guy was an immense success in terms of popularity. I put him up on Facebook yesterday in the afternoon and by this morning it was on the top spot of posts on my site, even surpassing the massively popular reviews of the Wargames Factory Zombie apocalypse survivors! Pretty good motivation to continue on with this Blood Angels fella!

That looks fantastic though. Keep up the good work sigur.

Yeah really nice! I think I may actually get that model right now! ................like..................now...

@Nafarious: Cheers! To be honest, I've been a bit naughty over the past hour and put the fella aside for a bit to do some work on minis I want to review. I just looked over to the model again and wow, this must be the most vibrant, sexy red I ever painted.

@nerdfest09: NOOOOOOOOOO, you gotta wait for my review in which I'll uncover that the models are actually hollow and full of tiny, deadly spiders!!!

Wow, fantastic stuff as always Sigur. When I first saw that model I honestly thought it was supposed to be the Death Guard Primarch Mortarion but seeing him red I can easily see him as a blood angel too. How big are those models compared to a normal marine?

Haha very nice, it looks great from the pictures probably even better in person. Why don't you work on some warmachine figures you want to "review"

Ah you forget i'm in Australia dude! I ONLY buy models if they're full of deadly spiders!

@IceAngel: You're in luck, my review of HiTech Miniatures stuffs went online today and it's got a size comparison shot! (The Night Lords guy measures 36mm from foot to eye level, so he's pretty darned tall).

@Nafarious: Hehehe, those HiTechy guys I didn't get for reviewing purposes, they're proper commission jobs. If things go well though I think I've got some Warmahordes things coming up in the near future. And as always - wether or not I paint Warmachine models can be up to YOU.

@nerdfest09: Good point. I guess it would be really weird for you to buy anything that's NOT full of deadly critters.

Alright peeps and peepettes, here's the review of HiTech Miniatures' Samael!

http://battlebrushstudios.blogspot.co.at/2013/11/review-hitech-miniatures-samael.html

Let me know what you think about it or if you have any wuestions or somesuch.

Excellent review.

That is a pretty awesome review sigur. And I understand that but ultimately it is up to my wallet and I am just a struggling college kid :(
