Cool stuff, I like your painting technique.

The Traitor Guard are sweet, rather like the sickly flesh and the purple fatigues.

The Infinity model is also good, nice basing work on that one.

Thanks to those of you who have commented. Heres a somewhat update: I have learned that I am not good at photography but I wil learn. I think investing in a light box will help a lot. That said here are some pics of the Infinity Zouave still WIP, and some of my grenadiers(stormtroopers) for my traitor gaurd slaanesh army for adepticon. As well as a tank I did for them too.

Sweet stuff. I dig the flying bike, and your guards are pretty in pink.

ahh caldoneaon volunteers, a heavy kazack and the other zouave in route. Planning with the tax refund to purchase all of the scottish looking stuff and the main rule book. thanks btw alpharius I have to say seeing dante's spurred me to actually paint mine.

Nice stuff. The stormies look very slick -- particularly the posing, which really highlights the conversions.
And I do like the weathering effect on the Russ -- the rust and dings work very effectively with the paint scheme.

I actually do like the wearing effect alot. I think pictures don't really show it out, and the deal I got saves a TON of money over the forge world weathering powders. Lbursleys Awsomepaintjob.com has some great prices, and the cool thing was they sent these little applicators with each of the powders. So 3 powders for 6 bucks was well worth it in my opinon. Plus I got it not even 4 days after I ordered so ya fast. Now onto your questions ince I am done with the shameless pitch for him I found after the first vehicle I did youneed to be a little more liberal with the powders as when you dull coat a lot tends to go away. I just found using them over a towel is best because they tend to be a little messy and you don't want pets licking them up.

nice leman russ... have you used the hairspray technique?

no just liquid mask, I have a couple of rhino sides laying around I am tempted to test out those tech on.

Ok fast update before I pack for the weekend(army drill weekend so high ho off to the woods I go). The governer is from Blackscorpion and didn't come out so nice in the pics but you get the idea. The second is the Mutant from trollforged and is still very WIP. Also for those of you who haven't seen it yet you will start seeing some pre-heresy Emporers Children. I commissioned Dave Taylor to build them(Iam painting), and have Joe Orteza scratch sculpting Fulgrim as the Primarch to lead. This is just the first of what will end up being several companies(the rest I am building). I intend to add a first company and a full phoenix detachment for fulgrim. This company will either be lucius's or torrgeddons not sure yet.

Superb painting! I wish I could do that well on my own models.

Ooh isn't that tv cute my bros 50" tv makes that look small

Loving it some very nice models their and great paintjobs, the purple Leman Russ brings me back, I used to run a slanesh rebel guard army many many moons ago, woo nostalgia! Keep em comin!

Needs... more... INFINITY!

Nice setup though...

Ah, the days before children...

lol what you don' see is off to the side is that tool box with over 100 paints in it then I have a box in my basement with another few hundred(no kidding and none of it used). All of which is vallejo, reaper, and on a rare occassion GW.

@alpharius: Their is actually the infinity zouave sapper on there as I never finished his hands(I have been understatably busy as of late with the new job). Also down stairs I have 5 or 6 more waiting of caledonians!

thanks for the great remarks, and russ ask your brother how much he paid for his. I got mine brand new was going for 3k in stores... I paid $1200 at the PX HOORAY MILITARY!!!

Wait those Emp Children that are on Dave Taylor's blog are going to be yours?!?! You lucky dog, you better paint them well.

This thread may actually get me interested in a Guard army... I applaud you!

Yes , yes they are and they aren't going to be they always were. i contacted dave back in mmmm aug sept and started the early stages of planning with him. Got most(I noticed he provided a goo number of bits too) of the bitz bodies and such and mailed them to him. Mind you all the stuff together was several hundred just to purchase, then of coarse he has great prices, but building and converting a whole army is still by no means cheap so dave was generous enough to let me make payments(namely to hide the overall cost to the misses which I told her the other day......ya she wasn't upset since I ahd already paid, and I make a lot of money sooooo ya_ ) Finally a few more emails from him on the finishing touches and presto INSTA ARMY!!!

Excellent this is actually my second go around in a year at this type of progect(except this is one I am finishing and keeping). The first I sold to a guy on ebay by the handle grimdog(never deal with him he attempts to extort money). So cheers and thank you all for the kind words. I will do a whole army shot the week before adepticon as I leave for my wedding a week from today.

Damn! So those are your Emperor's Children, lucky.

Traitor Guard look awesome!

I forgot how much the tv was but he bought the tv 5 disk dvd player a dvr and the surround system for 3k +-

Some great minis there empchild, cool to see some variety in a blog!

So busy week namely getting ready for adepticon in two weeks and my wedding in one week(both of which I have to fly to chi-town for. I grew up there is why). So admist everything I fit in a little bit on the trollforged stuff though I admit I rather rushed the mutant as he doesn't need much more done to him, but I thin he is a solid able top quality. I am also moving onto more Infinity(just for you alpharius I swear!), and plan to also work on a squad here and their for my pre-heresy emp children, as well as work on historicals. Also I am trying to clear up the commission desk so all this coupled with the new job(IAM for those of you who knows what that is for the Gov't) I have been a busy boy.

EC in the House!!!

Nice...

Wow! Fantastic mini's Emp.

EC always in this house. I have been a dieeeeeeehard slaanesh player for going on oooooo 9 years now. The concept just ..fits with my lifestyle. Oo and thank you bloodthirster for the kind words. I have to say I am really stoked about finishing this traitor gaurd army and starting on my other progects. A pre-heresy here, some romans their, and PResto Trollforged_ Also I got hired to do a heresy Empchildrens terminator army, and a battallion of 60 Russians for the Seven Years War so that should ring me out commission wise until the summer. Also I begin building all the terrain and doing the final nail down for the Boston Brawl here in may so busy busy busy. See you all in a week dakka.

Wow over a month since I updated. I reallly give my hat to you guys who can do this weekly or in some daily as I seldom have the time or really the energy. Well that said a lot of the plate. Works busier then ever but I am finding the time to start knocking out some stuff and practicing the techniques I learned from Mathieu Fontaine at adepticon(btw still have a few spots left for the boston masterclass with him in july). Anyways with that said on with the show:








these are all still understatably WIP but he will be from the angels of vengence chapter.

Finally two finished shots of a trollforged mini I did for kicks.



As usual CnC welcomed good or bad.

The face is ace on the SM bust.
