Its my signature I do it too stuff I play with , If iam doing something for a contest I dont do the stripes although the dread and the sniper won gold in deamon in the city in NYC .

Your icons and symbols really benefit from your style of short-stroke painting. I applaud your freehand skills!

thanks

that stuff is Amazing! The stripey pattern looks really cool on your guys and gives the guardsmans armor a bonelike look. The painting is flawless. The only problem i see is that the genestealers arm still has mould lines on it

I agree the Sniper is cool, just shows that some scenery on the bases really makes the models stand out and show them as they would be.

how can you make a fine detail on seals on the sniper? such as painting darker between two sheet of seal papers.

i like the pose of the sniper, looks very sneeky, but i detest the "lucky strike", poor little genestealer :(

I love it, these are really, REALLY good. a great example of someone that has found a style that works for them and sticks with it.

I'd love to see some pics of a bunch of figures together with this style... say those guys in the background... ?

pssff poor genestealer.... Thats the baddest friggin IG Sgt. anywhere EVER! That guys going to be a special character some day just you watch

Really nice work man. I like your style of painting

I have some drop guard I been working on here and there with that sheme il throw them up tommorrow there at work ( yes I have too much stuff I have to keep gak at work cause I need the space and it keeps the wify quiet about the fact iam hogging up the linen closet , iam sure iam not the only one ) . Il toss up the swordmasters too .

I like this stuff. It's pretty nice.

One question, though. Are the tally marks on the Furioso actually kill markings, or just painted to add more character?

I really like the IG sgt.! As well as the general painting style of your models, it looks really great.

One request, do you have a few more pics of the Space marine Sgt? I would really like to see the rest of the base.

you're a genius man nice work

I love it! The "normal" style is very well done, but your signature style is just spectacular. I think those'll win you more comps than the "normal" style, especially if you keep at it.

Can we have an article on how to paint in short stroke or how to do symbols in short stroke symbols

Too sadetta , it was painted with scorched earth than highlighted with bubonic brown than added skull white to the mix and highlighted up to a line highlight of white .

@ squigherder , I wouldn't mind doing a step by step of my method when I get some time I'll post one ( painting a chaos army for a tourny comming up in a month )

Here is a unit with a similar paint scheme as the sgt fighting the stealer

Grand Inquisitor Avatar soulstorm



chapter master of the blood wings Foerender sternfoot and 2 jump pack specialists


the start too my rough rider conversion unit


The toaster



And the start to the all lady platoon ( beware that time of the month is the same day for the whole platoon all stats are raised by 2 and have the beserk special rule )
alpha sniper team

Those are Doc Thunder's models right. And speaking of which, I haven't seen him in forever. I wonder where he is?

Man their so cool.

I think they are docs minis . but I had traded for a platoons worth from someone else who already had them so iam not totaly sure .

oh if anyone has those female guard i would love to trade for them

Oh if anyone has those female guard I would love to trade for them

Great work... love those simple yet wicked conversions. What's the sniper based off of? The look seems familiar.

um the sniper I kinda was just going for a techie nomadish look if that makes any sense . He has a dog that chills with him and is kinda like his 6th sense with its better senses of smell which is hard to improve with technology .

Anyone have any death korps painted i need some ideas

REALLY NICE!!!!!

I love that sniper! I also realy dig whatever that is youre' useing to flock the bases, its more course than modeling sand and I dig the deep red color of it, is it model railroad balast?
