Squigsquasher: thank you. I've been trying to work on improving the way I paint metals for a while so I'm very pleased to hear that! The Tau arrived yesterday so I should start getting some paint on them tomorrow, all being well.

shingouki: thanks. I'm glad you like it.

Finished the chaos lord yesterday evening:

**Squigsquasher**

I like the relatively minimalistic route you took with him. The muted gold and battered silver contrasts nicely with the dark red cape.

Good job!

**Zambro**

Really nice Chaos!

**peebs**

Thanks guys.

I'll be painting Tau now for the next week or so.

Darkstrider:

W.I.P. Cadre Fireblade (cloak and flesh are done, everything else just basecoated):

I have a Riptide and Broadside to paint as well. I'll get started on the Riptide at the weekend and would love some input re. colours. I don't fancy doing more of the 'standard' yellow-brown but the model will end up on eBay so I want to make sure it's still appealing to people. Currently I'm thinking blue but any other ideas/opinions would be great.

**Squigsquasher**

How about red and white?

**peebs**

Nice idea, thanks. I may well go with that!

**peebs**

Cadre Fireblade is now done:

I've made a decent start on the Riptide too so should get that finished tomorrow, I think.

**Squigsquasher**

Looks cool! Very nice clean paintjob. I love how smooth the white and the brown are.

**peebs**

Thank you!

Right, the Riptide is finally finished. I had a bit of a hectic week so didn't get it done as quickly as I had hoped. It also ending up being one of those models that just never 'felt' right. I'm not really happy with how it's turned out tbh (although I am pleased with the colours - thank you squigsquasher!) but as it was just a quick paint job for ebay, it will have to do!

Pictures:

The colours are the most accurate here I think:

**lennymaybe**

I quite like the colours on the Riptide.

**peebs**

Can't believe how long it's been since I last posted on here. I've been pretty busy with commissions and other stuff so haven't done as much 'me' painting lately.

Here's some pathfinders that I don't think I posted pics of before:

I've also just bought several of the new High Elf kits so that's what I'll be painting for the next week or two!

Handmaiden is done:

I also have Alarielle, the Loremaster, a couple of phoenixes and two of the sky chariot things. Should be a lot of fun to paint.

**peebs**

Alarielle is now finished too. I didn't really like the GW colour scheme so have gone with something completely different:

All comments/criticisms are welcome. I'll probably make a start on the first phoenix tomorrow.

**peebs**

And the Loremaster:

**peebs**

Sea helm with standard:

Should have the skycutter done in the next day or two.

**bebopdrums2424**

Interesting work in here. The muted colors really speak of your individual style. I like it a lot

**peebs**

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.

I've been kept fairly busy with commissions lately but managed to get the lothern skycutter finished at the weekend:

Not the easiest model to photograph so pictures aren't great, sorry.

**peebs**

Some more finished high elf models.

Second skycutter:

And the extra figures:

I'll get some W.I.P. shots of the phoenix up soon.

**Meraklis**

Lovely work! Great job on everything actually!

Just a quick question; what colours did you use for the wood on the skycutter? I am currently looking for ideas to paint my own and I would be grateful if you could give me some help!

**peebs**

Wow, it's been a long time since I added anything here! I've been really busy with commissions but here's a couple of models I've managed to fit in around them recently:
