Hi to all at Dakka!! I am an experienced wargamer with 19 years GW gaming experience. I am an experienced gamer in both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, My main armies are WFB: Orcs and Goblins, Warriors of Chaos, Dark Elves, Bretonnians & 40k: Dark Angels, Ultramarines, Emperors Children, Witch Hunters. I worked as a Black shirt (Games Workshop UK) for 4 years and am now enjoying being a Commission based Pro-Painter, Converter and Scenery maker known as Portal. I have uploaded some pictures of completed models so please take a look!!

Hello and welcome to Dakka!

Hi Portal Wargaming, wow, you worked at a Games Workshop? That is so neat! You guys made the hobby possible for so many people! Looking forward to seeing your models, especially your Witch Hunters and Bretonnians!

Yeah I take on commission work: A character model would normally cost £10-£15 and units cost about £1 a model (cost varies depending on size of the model and detail required), I offer discounts for bulk jobs such as Battleforces, Battallions & Armies compared to painting them individually.

I have a large customer base from my old store who have seen the quality of my painting in the store cabinets. I was lucky enough to go to GD UK last year and my Lucius the Eternal model was a finalist!! I have also won several staff painting competitions over my 4 years service, beating a previous Golden Demon winner.

Cool, It takes me ages to paint anything to a high standard, so I would never contemplate doind it for someone else. I just do it for myself. Have you ever seen any work by David Rodriguez?

I am lucky that I have been able to paint quickly..... for instance I painted the Korhil model in 6 hours while running the GW store!!! David Rodriguez is an awesome artist that has a way of capturing the feel of the army he is painting the model for! His Orc was amazing from GD 2006 (I think)!

Did you see the NID he won the slayer sword with, unconverted, straight out the box, just amazing paintjob!
He taught my m8 to paint, who taught me, so really I owe any credit to his techniques.(still, I know i'm nowhere near as good!)

Hi! Welcome!
