Wow these are awesome, they blow my flesh tearers out of the water! Where is Mr. Seth

Those guys are cool looking!

Wikkid! That is such crispy clean work!

I have NEVER seen a razorback with flamers, incredible, LOL!

Thanks everyone!

To those who asked for painting tutorials, here goes.

The red is very, very easy. I prime black. I base coat with P3 Sanguine Base. I highlight with GW Scab Red, and then a very fine highlight of GW Blood Red. Done.

The black is also super easy. I base with GW Chaos Black. Highlight with P3 Greatcoat Grey, extreme highlight with GW Codex Grey.

The skin is also easy. I base with P3 Cryx Bane Highlight, and then mix in white for the successive layers. I usually do about four highlight layers.

The bone, also super simple. Start with P3 Beast Hide, highlight with P3 Hammerfall Khaki, highlight again with P3 Jack Bone, extreme highlight with GW Bleached Bone.

Are there any other questions I forgot to answer? Please let me know.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Really awesome work on the Flesh Tearers.

You got any plans to paint Seth?

Wow these guys are amazing looking. Well done.

Great vampire look to your marines

i really like the objective marker!

Love the contrast between the crisp blacks and the smooth highlights on the reds. Great idea using the chapter icon on the Rhinos as well. You've also made the pale vampiric skin look fairly natural, something that I've always struggled with!

I curse you, because you made me want to start an Flesh Tearers army. Those minis are that fething good. Also, wheres that handsome, bloodthirsty (and subtle) maniac named Seth?

I am loving these models mate!

Wonderful! The not-quite necrotic flesh, the extra-pointiness of everything. Where did the chappie's helmet come from?

The Chappie's helmet is a slightly modified Chaos Space Marine helmet. I just filed the arrow on the front down a little to look less "chaos-y". Then I snipped the halo off from one of the Sanguinary Guard helmets and glued it on. Voila!

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!

The darker ink/wash you have given these give the red a really amazing life to them, wonderful job!

Huge update! Sorry for the long delay. I've been painting steadily, but I just didn't have time to take pics and post them. But here they are! I love to hear your comments!

Chapter Master Gabriel Seth!!! Lovingly converted and painted. I think this is my favorite model of mine.






Reclusiarch Arnald


Death Company!!


Assault Terminators with Sanguinary Priest in TDA


Death Company Dreadnought and Furioso coming up as soon as I take some pics!

Hope you enjoy!

Love 'em!

Fantastic stuff! really nice.

Always wanted to do a ft army...nice jobber dude!

I like it, a bit OTT necrotic, but overall very nice

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kind words. Makes it all worth it.

Really amazing and stunning work on those! I really love blood angels codex and those flesh tearers are pretty awesome! The whole painting is great and the skin is really nice! Keep it up dude!

This is really nice to look at.
I'm new in 40k, so it's good to see what potential is hidden in those little fellows GW produces.
Thanks for your good paintjob!

These look lovely, I prefer the flesh tearers to BA anyway. Not sure about the last Sang. Preist though, his chalcie looks a little too big...

I love Flesh Tearers. I love your Flesh Tearers. Brilliant work!

Fantastic painting man good looks! Loving the buzzsaw decal on the tanks is that all freehand?

The only thing i could suggest as critique is maybe throw some brown wash on the gold eagle on top of Chaplain Arjuna's staff, everything you do has great depth and that's the only thing that stands out as looking like one solid color.

Amazing stuff though keep posting!

Those are ther best painted Flesh Tears I've seen to date. Well done you!

Great work on the Seth conversion, you've captured the feel of him spot on, you certainly won't have to explain to anyone who he is!

I really really like your death company and chaplain. They have a (dare I say it) 'chaos' feel to them but that's definitely a good thing here. They look a lot more gothic than the standard builds.

I like the Termies too, I do however agree with the others about the chalice being a little too big but I don't think it's a major issue. Is it from Space Hulk?

One thing I would do is put some white on the TDA priest just to make him really pop out from the squad. Maybe his helmet and p/fist?

But keep up the great work, you've really captured the Tearer look.

Will be watching for more!

Love everything about this threat. Great paintjob, strong army, strong theme. Looking forward to finding some batreps of these guys.

I agree and will be substituting the model when I get the time. I had a bunch of AoBR termies laying around, and just went for a quick conversion that was immediately identifiable as a Sang Priest. Thanks for the comments.

The buzzsaw on the tanks is indeed freehand. It's actually not as hard as it looks!

Thanks for the criticism on the gold. I agree with you. It actually does look better in person, but, I think it would benefit from a black wash or something to tone it down a bit.

Yeah, agreed on the chalice. It's not from Space hulk. It's actually the bell from the Vampire Counts Corpse Cart kit turned upside down, and then hole-punch plasticard on the bottom. It's a good idea on picking out some parts of his armor to differentiate him.

Thanks so much guys! It really makes my day to see the nice comments.
