I love these things they are awesome

Agreed, they look really good, AND that list brought back some memories. I remember reading that once

Those are gunna be sweeeet

Amazing work, truly. The only thing you cold change would be the "termie" head.

They come out very nicely.. will look even better with a good coat of paint =)

Hey, man, I'm working on it. So far, all I've got for paint is one of them half finished. This is still going to take me a while, but I'll get there.

I'll post the first finished one up once he's all done.

can you put up a group shot? and i would love to know what exactly you did to that lascannon turret

I think the most impressive thing about this project so far is how long it took you to paint the sergeant. Not to knock the amazing sculpting work of course.

cool stuff digging the razorback. good idea with the stunties.

Well, I painted him a long while back as part of an overnight painting contest (you bring in minis that have been primered, and see who can get the best results on no sleep). I think there's a thing or two I'd like to change on him (mostly, I think the base is a little too monochrome) but overall I'm happy with how he turned out.

Groups shots? Hm... I'll have to think about that next time the light box is set up.

I know since I was there If I remember right I was watching a lot of old crappy horror movies and playing WFB & 40k in the keep's basement that night rather than painting. It's amazing how quick you were able to achieve those results, even when sleep deprived!

Yeah, but it is also a lot of fun to get a mini like that finished in one sitting. And its fun to see how much sleep deprivation affects your painting.

I've got another one of them half painted right now. I'm sure he'll finish up over the weekend, and I might go ahead and start up a third (depending on how complicated I want to make them)

OUTSTANDING!! where did you get the bases from?

They are Warmachine/Dark Age bases. I've heard them called "Show Bases" before, and I think the term is appropriate. The lip makes the minis look just a touch more showy. I think all of the minis here are on Warmachine 40mm bases.

This throws back to the stuff it seems like WD just doesn't do anymore.

To be fair, White Dwarf really never did stuff like this on a regular basis. Issue 300 was an exception to a lot of rules- it was massive, and had some pretty wild painting and conversion examples- a lot of them came from all the GW stores across America (I happened to know someone who got in it- he worked at the GW in Denver).

The big "UNAPPROVED" stamp was something that was never standard in White Dwarf.

(Oh, and by the way, I just finished painting the first Marine. I'll have pics up soon).

Ever notice how whenever anyone cuts off an opponent's head that said opponent just happens to have long hair so his severed melon can be carried easily by the guy who did the deed?

Just me?

Carry on...

Sometimes you've got to seek out the long haired orks for that very purpose.


Anyway, here's the new Painted marine:



I'll keep them coming as I finish them.

As an update for everyone, I'm now starting on the Flamer and Terminator headed one.

Just updated the first post to include my progress so far.

To be more specific:







What does everyone think of the two new marines?

Great looking minis btw. very nice work.

I've started up on one of the missile launcher marines (the one with the hood, not the eye patch) so he'll be up soon.

I must say those are amazing I was so happy with what I could do with Green Stuff and frankly you've put me to shame I love them

Well bugger me these are some damned fine models mate !

I think I needed those two alternate pics because someone pointed out that you can't see the Us on most of these marines.

Ah, well. I'll make sure to put some prominent Us on the rest of them.

For a quick update, I'm nearly done with this guy:



I really just need to finish up his shoulder heraldry and his base. I'll have him posted soon.

Well, those last finishing touches took me a very long time.




I have also started working on the guy holding the ork head.

very cool!! love them!

Here's a two-angle pic to match the other ones.

I love them!
