It won't be to everyone's taste, I get that, thanks for taking the time to post. Cheers.

Outside of base coating some Deathwing ages ago I have never painted a Warhammer figure of any sort I am sorry to say. Space Hulk is my thing so I have finally stated on my first ever figure with the goal of finishing him. I found an online tutorial & although I changed some things around I used it as a starting point to get a feel for what I am doing & how to go about it. Like the tutorial I chose brother Goriel to keep things simple & although progress is far past these photo's I thought I'd upload now with the view to showing the near completed figure tomorrow (it's late here now) Please keep in mind this is a first ever attempt & my 28mm painted inventory currently stands at 0. :-)

The tutorial I am referencing:

Looking good. You’ve got lots of practice working on the board, that will largely transfer to the minis.

Thanks, Have to admit I was a little nervous attempting a figure as it's really unfamiliar ground & I have never worked on red as a main colour either...just so different. Anyway, basically now finished although the extra goo on the Genestealer corspe I added still needs some extra work to brighten it up. There is a little touch up work still to do too but for a for a first attempt I am happy with it. Cheers.

No Bwian anymore....now that I have finished him it's Goriel!

Looks solid. My only suggestion on future SH dudes would be to hack them off of their original bases if you are going to put them on proper round bases. It's pretty easy to do on all but the guy digging into the ground.

I miss bwian already, but Goriel will do nicely- great painting! The hex pattern across the floor works terrifically well I've done quite a lot with Hirst Arts molds, still can't get over how much detail you've packed into your builds. If you haven't posted pictures over to Bruce's website, you should- he'll sell a hundred sets based on your work!

Whalemusic360: Good tip, I had thought about it but for some strange reason I really like the existing bases too, I know, weird...but their shape really appeals to me. I think I am going to forget about the round ones for now.

Meer_cat: Don't worry, Bwian will still be around, maybe just in the background, someone has to maintain the compactor after all:-) Thanks for the compliment.

Here is Brother Noctis, my second ever Terminator, still learning lots & lots more still to learn too. Added some wet green slime to the base more for colour & something a little different. Cheers.

Looking good! Your skills transfer very well onto minis it seems

If you do decide to use round bases (it makes playing actual games of Space Hulk quite cramped I should add) the guy tearing up the floor fits in well if you do some chopping and give him a hatch to open instead



Keep up the good work!

Commander Cain: Thanks for the compliment & the encouragement, the base idea is great. For now I think I am going to stick with just the original bases but at some point I will do what you have done too as it really is a great idea.

Brother Zael, improvements on my figure painting but still not to a level I am happy with just yet, but still learning & experimenting. Also a few shots all together. Cheers.

These are a mix of work in progress & completed figures.
