Absolutely incredible stuff here mate.

They all deserve Gold Medals in my opinion.

Well done, keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Jack.

They're all incredible! Cannot wait to see your paint job on the tyranid killing dred!

I now feel very sad about my painting skills, *sniff* But on the other hand, those are ****ing increadable man!!! Some of the best paintjobs I've seen in a long time.

I'm giggling with crazed inticapation for the picks of the dread... well, not quite giggling, but you know what I mean.

Incredible work!

Congrats on GD Gold.

That stuff is freakin' awesome. I've been trying to get good at painting myself. So far I can only paint like the pictures on the 40k boxed sets. I was curious as to how you painted the horns and bone spikes on the khornate demon prince. It looks awesome and I'd like to try it myself. So if you wouldn't mind sharing some of you secrets I'd greatly appreciate it

Beautiful work and very much looking forward to more! And good luck with GD UK - the mother of all GD competitions

I love your attention to basing! However, the upright metals just behind the dreadnought, slightly give an impression, the dread is backing down - which maybe you intended but narrative wise is how it reads to me.

This stuffs amazing...

Good Luck on your dread.

The horn were done the same way as the skull. A basecoat of jack bone, first shadows in umbral umber and final shadows in thamar black. The highlight were done in menoth white highlight and finally a light coat of Gryphon Sepia citadel wash. Finally gloss varnish was used to make shine the base of the horns. All colors are from the P3 range except the wash. That is pretty much it. The rest is simply thinned down paints to ensure smooth blending.

Thanks for the description on painting. I appreciate it

Can't wait to see he dread finished, also the Kraye, working on one myself. Can't wait to see how bad yours will make mine look ;p Good luck at gen con!

Here is a little miniature done in 2 days for the independant painting contest at GENCON.



It was a real delight to paint! Bigger pictures on my site.

It's looking very nice. I'm a little surprised by some of the harsh transitions but I'm assuming you were simulating a light source and in that regard it is very effective.

I started working on my Grand Master Painting Comp entry for GENCON yesterday evenening and here is the actual state of things:




Some of the grey will become gold like on the original PIP model and there is a few highlights missing here and there but so fare here it is! Oh and Kr...aye went for a walk... I wasn't feeling like painting a horse...

You use an airbrush?

wtfbbq.. you paint impossible; love the demon prince reds... sooo pretty

Whats the air brushing for???

In this case for the red base coat with first shadows. Simply to save them. On bigger model I can use it much more cutting down paint time even more.

Here is the progress:

Wowsa....

very nice, is that nmm on the smokestacks or what? It looks fantastic but it doesn't look like any of the golds I've seen.

You must use tons of washes.

Well here are the final pics... They are a bit overexposed so i'll fix that when I'll be back from GENCON!




I wasn't sure at first about the grey and almost turned it to gold as on the original model but now I'm really pleased by this alternate color scheme. Might be adding a light freehand on the cloak. I'll see if I have time tomorrow.

I fancy my self a good painter...After looking at your stuff, I have put my painting skill in perspective...I am a cave man, painting stick figures on a wall with mammoths blood. Way to kill a guys pride in his work. JK

Stunning stuff. Thanks for posting here as well. Consider me subscribed.

Well it ended up being an awesome weekend.

My hierarch Severius took bronze at the Privateer Press contest. Not entirely sure I agree with the decision but hey...

My master of blades took 2nd place in single at the independant contest and my Metal Model Orc took first place and the best of show.

For some pictures of the orc:

I should be taking the final pictures of Severius this week.

Otherwise it is now time to work on my entry for GD UK!

I dont even need to see the gold and silver to say
i dont agree either with the dicision of putting you on bronze.

Yours is like 10/10 perfection!

( just out of curiosity though can we see the gold and silver xD )

Don't mind me, too awe struck to think of a compliment, need to subscribe to continue to be awe struck by you.

Here is my painting adventure of last night:



It was hell to photograph though and I am still not happy with the result but...

Wow excellent work man. That resin water effect tutorial is going to be really handy for a project I am knocking around.
Well done, and keep the pictures coming!
