Yay! also, if you could build a terrain board which is fully painted to maximum awesomeness, that wouldn't be bad

If only I had the time......(sighs)

Actually, if you can paint your guys faster there won't be a problem...
The way I learned to be a fast painter is, I started making half an hour projects, where I take a random model, and paint it as best as I can in 30 minutes. I actually have a whole load of them in my gallery.

Had a look through your gallery sugga' - nice work! I particularly like the renegade bane blade (got one of those myself to turn into a plague reaper at some point - Oh god! - don't tell me you did that in 30 minutes too! )

Seriously though - I don't think I'll ever paint a mini in under 30 mins but I'll time myself the next bezerker I start (half way through one at the moment)

Noo... That baneblade took me a whole hour
Of course, I built it in 3 hours, because of my habit to not read the instructions...

3 hours! Lol! It would take me that long to cut it off the sprue!

Well... I aim to please
and I always thought that I was the slow painter...

The painting begins.....

Again, amazing work!
Maybe other green spots on the model, to lower the green/red contrast on the axe.

What do you use for your vibrant red?
I may steal a few ideas for my Seige of Terra World Eaters
the double headed axe in particular.
Your WE are so nice they almost make me want to give you my Angron.
I bet the new Grey Knight kit has lots of good arms,they don't all have to have gloves

Nice pic!

There is some green and blue on the world eater symbol on the right shoulder pad, you just can't see it in the pic - by the way - this took me more than 30 minutes!

Steal away mate.
Colour for the red is all Vallejo paint: White primer, Italian red base (airbrushed on) Sepia ink wash for shade. Then build up highlights with gory red, then 50/50 gory red/bloody red, then bloody red, then bloody red and plague brown just on some of the edges of the armour, then washed with red ink (this is important to get the bright finish). I'll gladly have your Angron (is this the pre-heresey Ronin one or a post heresey Daemon?) - if not, I plan building one (post heresey Daemon) in the future. All the arms are the standard CSM ones, I've just taken a knife to them to get them how I want.

How long did it take?
If you practise for long ebough, you could even do one of those in 10 minutes
If you want, I could find myself a marine (all my Khorne Berzerkers have extremely thick paint layers on them, since my friend gave them to me), and try to copy your painting in 10 minutes.

Really good!

SIMPLE GREEN FTW

Italian Red is that from Panzer Aces line?whats is the number on it.
My Angron is an UltraForge Conversion and I did say almost
However I do have a second model that I was dooing as a Bloodthrister but he is still early enough for me to convert if interested.
Here is a link to him

Please don't do this. If you succeed (and knowing you, you will) I may have to kill myself. At least if you do this, then don't tell me. (Each one takes me about 1.5 - 2 hours - did I mention I'm not very fast at painting?)

Remember this is air brush paint, number is 71085. Like your Angron. Tell me more about those metallic/rust paints (brand name etc) they look like they work really well. I'm gonna (eventually) build Angron based around the Warhammer Daemon kit (I think).

If it makes you feel better, today I was painting a tyranumid termagant for 3 hours, and the paintjob was completely awful (I have to do 19 more)

Love the newly painted model.

Chees Ogryn - here's another to feast your eyes on - aplogies to everybody if I don't post much over the next week but my computer keeps crashing and I may have to take it into the shop for them to sort:

I'm loving the OSL effect on that one!

Sluggaslugga I wish you lived near me I would love to race you.
They call me, "The Quick Model Kid"

Monkeyh the paint is from a line called sophisticated finishes
I bought mine at a craft store called Michaels but here is the link

For GW legal Angron check out the deamon prince Be'Lakor that what I'm gonna use when I get around to doing that myself

That could be arranged
I actually won a speedpainting competition painting with my left hand, and my eyes closed (literally )

That would of been fun to see.
A few years back my hand was busted up,I could'nt do that at all.
Funny the things you take for granted like even starting a car
I was getting good playing video games lefty though.
We could have a contest though it would be easy,the same stock model primed then post when finished.
These posts are time coded we do not even have to do it at the same time.
However I am not going to hijack the thread anymore.
Hit me up on my WE thread if you want to battle

Let's get back to the subject...

No prizes for guessing where I got the idea for that one!

Cheers Eisenhorn - that looks like a good model to start with.

Your Khorne stuff is awesome!

Cheers evil'!

Man, I so want to see the Samurai squad finished and posted up. If the paintjob's the equal of the posing, they'll be top-notch.

Thanks Necro' - once I've finished the regular squad I'll start on the samurai. Here's my latest offering. As mentioned earlier, the computer has been playing up so I'm taking it in today to be sorted, so it may be a little while before I post again - hopefully by the time I do I'll have a few more done!
