Telion's face is fantastic! On a side note, those modular wall sections on page 8, I do something similar with bits of scrap wood I 'borrow' from woodwork lessons at school!

**grey_death**

Got bored tonight ^_^:

**captain.gordino**

What is that?

**SonofGuilliman**

Space, the final frontier.

The board looks pretty good. All it needs now are some planets.

I can see playing 40k on that new board...

'ok, my leman russ shoots it battlecannon, unfortunately due to gravity it scatters 300D6" behind the unit. The leman russ is then propelled 80" backwards per turn thanks to the lack of gravity and air resistance.'

How the heck are you getting such clean cuts on the foam-core? Even with a nice sharp knife I'm having difficulty not mucking up the foam (maybe the foamcore I have just sucks...).

**jamunition**

Tellions face is... im lost for words(good)

My local shop ran a Speed Painting competition on Jan 31st. Here's my entry:

I ended up winning it in the end after one hell of an hour of painting. And for my efforts got a $15 gift certificate for the shop. Which helped pay for my Sterguard unit for my Sons of Medusa! Can't wait to get them together ^_-...

**Metsuri**

Thats pretty good looking gaunt, you've managed to get decent looking bone in such a short time.

Now get those sternguard on the web for us.

**grey_death**

Coming along slowly. But at least there is some progress!

**malfred**

Answer the question: how do you get clean cuts on foam core?

Do you just replace blades constantly, use a metal edge and make multiple cuts? Or
do you have a secret?

**grey_death**

Heh, my bad, I totally missed that one x.x...

You have to do multiple cuts with a clean (see: new/newer) blade. First cut the top card layer then cut the foam in many light cuts and finally cut through the card on the other side, and TADA! Clean foamcore cuts ^_-.

Ah. So the secret is patience, effort and new blades.

Finally got some more work done on the neew building:

Paint to come soon!

**grey_death**

Finished!

**malfred**

Very cool building. Again, you cut very straight, a skill I most definitely lack (file
under: attention to detail)

**D3str0y3r**

**grey_death**

Finished.

Apparently Sicarius and Chronos are on the menu as well >.>...

Building my portfolio I guess! I'm considering taking on more commission work in the future. We'll see how that pans out.

C&C welcome as always.

**littlewood93**

The building looks great and sergeant telion looks absolutley brilliant.

**G. Whitenbeard**

Absolutely stunning work, especially on the building!

**Valhallan42nd**

Where's his eye?

(I realize he's not finished yet, but it's the only fault I could find. I'm incredibly jealous.)

**grey_death**

Actually he is finished. But the image of a grizzled vet who's eyes you can't make out from the squint, ala clint, I felt really played well.

So style choice here. But one I stand by.

**Valhallan42nd**

Eye or no eye, your execution is astounding. ++

**grey_death**

New project for a painting contest at the local store. I've got like a month or two for this guy, so I'm trying a few new things out.

**VermGho5t**

Is he going to be a member of your SoM force you've been building up GD?

!?

Eeek! Your Telion kicks butt!

**grey_death**

VermGho5t wrote:Is he going to be a member of your SoM force you've been building up GD?

He could be, but most likely will not be. He's just a one off that I am actually considering selling off once he's finished. A test of the waters if you will.

I'll also be trying to keep up with how I paint him more for an article to be posted on The Painting Corps. Those who follow my blogs however will be privy to much of the info as I finish it!

But really it's all about the local painting contest, and painting this guy to a standard that will win ^_-.

**Crisis_Saint**

grey_death i admire your painting skills (godly). I have just started a tau army and i was wondering how you get that smoothness on your models paint schemes?

**grey_death**

Crisis_Saint, Thank you for the compliment. Smoothness mostly comes from keeping your paint thinned and using multiple thin layers for each color to build up to a nice opaque finish. Using water or actual thinner medium mixed into your paint on a palette is a good place to start.

Some progress on the Chaplain:

The head is finished, but that's it. I've gotten some more work since this photo done, but just more of the bone color. Nothing super exciting, and my ambient light faded on me when the sun went down.

C&C welcome as always, and more photos will be inbound as I finish more on the model!

**Shortbus**

Gorgeous!

Thanks for sharing.
