El Torres is absolutely beautiful - I love the natural feel, and even the fact that there is very little personal statement/style readable, the piece is just great.

The progress:

**Trilobite**

Looking really nice!

**Karl Deathwolf**

I love that purplish hue on the metals, not something you see in 40k very often, most colors tend to be so dull.

**LunaHound**

This is truly deserving to be praised as fine art.

**~UnDeAd~**

That Tyranid war veteran dreadnaught is amazing , i really like the concept of the model.

Great job ~UnDeAd~

**Grimm**

This is legandary. You are legandary.

**hyperviper6**

Can I borrow 1/3rd of your talent for a week or so? Great job.

**migsula**

Excellent!! I love how you've done so little weathering and selected refreshingly different palette this time.

Great work sir and thanks for sharing

**The Fallen Raven**

Simply brilliant all of them

**Vorlon**

After seeing your work I am not sure if it has inspired me to keep pushing myself to be a better painter.....or if it has depressed me (knowing i will never be this amazing) to the point I should quit and commit hobbyist's seppuku by drinking all of my paint

=./

Either way...phenomenal work!

**MajorTom11**

Drool....

**Teek**

This thread is simply overflowing with some of the most fantastic painting I've seen.

Congratulations on the very well deserved awards!

**kinghammer**

What else can I say, but great work. Best of luck at GD.

Cheers

Very nice job on thaqt, it looks fantastic.

I work in a gaming store. A few weeks back I announced a new challenge to get people painting. It's pretty simple. Over 8 sessions of 2 weeks the participants have to paint a specific type of troop for their army. If you are done on time you accumulate tickets for a draw and the winner will leave the battleforce of his choice. If you do not finish on time well you are out. In order to encourage people I decided I would enter the challenge. So yes over the last 2 days I've started painting an army, something I haven't done in years!

But don't worry, with 1700 points of Blood Angels I came up with a list composed of 22 models and 2 landspeeders or 26 models and 3 landspeeder. Not sure yet about which one I choose in the end but eh...

So this session it was a troop so here is the family: .

For those of you who actually play the game you might say that Hey! That's an elite choice!!! Well yeah you are right but since I took Commander Dante as a HQ well now they are troops and yes the army is solely composed of sanguinary guard which explaines the 22 or 25 models (depends if I take Sanguinor as well or not...).

And speaking of Dante, well since next session is HQ here is the simple conversion to bring him up to par with the angel theme:

And the bases, if you are wondering, are from the Lost Empire set from Dragon Forge and they are simply awesome!!! Both in style and quality!

**Flachzange**

Well, I'm not a huge fan of the models. While pretty cool, its just too much swag for my taste. However, these do look excellent!! I love the your choice of colors! It all just looks so ... smooth and soft. Awesome work! Definately thumbs up all around

**Fateweaver**

Those guard are gorgeous.

The colors look airbrushed on but I know even the most skilled airbrush artist can't do detail like that.

Kudos, those are gorgeous.

**Flying Pooo**

Those san guard are AWESOME!! Nice job!

**oaktree**

The colour scheme you have chosen for your sanguinary guard is amasing, it also makes a nice change from most people painting them gold.

What jump pack did you use for your Dante conversion?

**akaranseth**

I used the jump pack and wings from Astorath the Grim.

**Alpharius**

Awesome stuff!

The more I see the Sanguinary Guard models, the more I want to use them for other Marine Chapters - namely, Raven Guard!

Your work is, as always, top notch!

**Claimh_Solais**

OMG the guard are awesome and the Dante modell is a perfect convertion

**MajorTom11**

Stop posting on this forum before you make us all give up lol!

Beautiful work as expected!
