@Alpharius: Cheers mate

Here's the next update for Mephiston, all the base colours have been added:



The model was first sprayed black and then each base colour was layered on. The red armour was painted with Mechrite Red, areas that would be gold were painted with Scroched Brown, metal areas with Boltgun Metal, purity seals and scrolls with Khemri Brown with the seals themselves Scab Red, the skin was painted Tallarn Flesh, the hair Snakebite Leather, shoulder pad wings Astronomican Grey and the plasma coils Regal Blue.

The sword and backpack are being painted separately.

He's looking good, Alex - did you find Astaroth being in Finecost a boon to making this conversion?

Astorath being in finecast was definitely a help. The stuff is very easy to convert and luckily the cast I got of him was practically flawless. Well lucky for my client not so much for me as I was hoping there'd be a miscast in part that I wouldn't need for the conversion so I could ring up customer services and get a free one

Here's the next update for Mephiston, all of the colours have received their first stage of definition:



The upper areas of the armour were highlighted with Blood Red with the segmented areas highlighted with a 50/50 Blood Red/Red Gore mix. Metal areas were highlighted with Chainmail and washed with Badab Black. The face and hair were washed with Ogryn Fesh. Scrollwork was layered with Kommando Khaki. Gold areas were painted Shining Gold, washed with Ogryn Flesh and highlighted with Shining Gold. The featherd shoulder pad was then washed with Asurmen Blue.

That's a brave conversion for sure! Converting metal models can be such a pain, and you loose a lot of details sometimes. Well done on the resculpted parts!

Here's the next update for Mephiston, all of the colours have received their third stage of definition. The majority of the model is now completed it's just a few small details here and there that need to be finished such as the eyes, gems and parchment.

Here's a new update guys. I've currently got two commissions on. The first is for a number of Malifaux models and then other is for a large part of a Death Korps of Krieg army.

Here's a picture of the DKOK as they arrived to me I'll be building, painting and basing all of them:



My other, current, commission is to complete 10 models from the Malifaux line including resin bases. Here's a picture of them before work begins:



Stay tuned for more updates as I build the models up.

@jackanory: Thanks for the reply I really enjoyed painting the Freikorps I think they're brilliant models.

Here are pictures of the Mlifaux models which are now finished.









Now that they're done I'll be focusing on the Death Korps of Krieg army so stay tuned for updates on that.

Now that my Malifaux Commission is finished and posted to the client it's time to focus on the Death Korps of Krieg army.

So far I've managed to build and base everything that's been sent to me and it's all ready to be undercoated tomorrow.

This picture shows all the infantry models built and based ready for undercoating. 1 Death Rider is missing as are the Heavy Bolters as they will be arriving later after the client has posted them.



This picture shows all the warmachines built and ready for undercoating. One of the Quad Launchers is missing as some of the parts that arrived from Forgeworld were not correct. The Hades Breaching Drill has also been left partially unbuilt so that I can paint the inside areas more easily.



I'm really looking forward to painting these so stay tuned for more updates.

@taffiarti: Thanks for the kind words, I've always wanted my own Death Korps army so I'm rather enjoying painting these.

I've now finished the 15 crew that go along with the Heavy Mortars and Thudd Guns. Here's a picture of them:



They'll be getting their glamour shots when the artillery are done.

Next I'm going to work on the Engineers so stay tuned for updates on them.
