Base done (only bit specified by client) and the eyes are a bit brighter now with a thin coat of blood letter glaze, thanks largeblastmarker (y)

**olim**

Excitingly close to finishing

**Largeblastmarker**

did you masacre a computerchip? or is that just some sick conversion work

**olim**

Alas it's not conversion work, it all came from this old broken Nokia. But being Nokia they really don't surrender easily :p

Edit: By the time I'd used a vice, screwdriver and chisel to get it apart half the battered look of the circuits was done.

I love the paint work, you've done a brilliant job, definitively worth more than £1. Though I did the same thing when i started commission work, under charged a lot, but I agree with what Flashman said about asking the client what their willing to spend. But your right we all have to start somewhere.

I wish you luck and look forward to seeing your next commission.

*thumbsup*

**SlaveToDorkness**

Prepare to be VERY busy charging so little for such great work!

I love the color sheme!

**Jehan-reznor**

Nice color combo, 10pound is a steal.

Started my small unit of fire warriors today, not a commission this time, although I liked the scheme for the previous lot so I'm carrying t over too my own tau

Still painting in pieces out of habit, the heads being the first parts completed

**olim**

Finished my Nurgle army - it was my first army, so there's quite a gap between the quality at the start to now as its a mix of old and recent.

**bunnygurl**

Holy....freakin'.....waffles......you're amazing....LOVE your work!

**olim**

Fire warrior test model for rest of unit - I like it, but as its a test model C&C would be appreciated

Me being pedantic, even though I stopped painting for tonight, I had to neaten up that orange on the weapons and sort our that slightly off small shoulder pad.

**Largeblastmarker**

Good to see an update. i recommend using a matt spray. it makes paint so nice and smooth. also transition area highlights are not a bad idea.

**olim**

I will use a matte spray in the finished model. Transitional areas highlights would take longer than I have time for at the moment unfortunately. Here the legs for the remainder I the unit.

The highlights on the black didn't come out too well in the photos.

**olim**

Well it's been a while since I've updated this, it's been for a mix of more gaming, not remembering to photograph models at time of completion and also since most of hat I've painted recently has gone into an army painting competition so it's been in store for a week; also ive been painting hobbit stuff that i thought i wouldn't include here with all the 40k - it's in my alert though still if anyone wants to see a few of those speed paints of mine. Just as an update here's my work on a Herald of Nurgle for my army, that dodgy horn was just a test, I have already completed the model but won't be able to get pics up for about a week, also next week I shall upload pics of my Firewarriors squad plus an eldar farseer converted to a tau ethereal. Here's the start on the Nurgle lord / herald.

Anyone interested in buying the Nurgle Lord once finished (don't worry it's neater than now on the armour than in the WIP pic), PM me then ill send some completed pics and details etc. and we can come to a price that will be very reasonable.
Also, want anything painted - particularly Nurgle being my forte (but can still do any other minis) - PM me and we can discuss if you're interested.

Finished Nurgle lord original pics in link above.

**olim**

Hey guys, long time since an update I know - A levels are waaaay to time consuming, but I'm fitting in some more painting now I hope. Anyway, here's the start I made on Nurgle Lord No. 2.

Feedback really appreciated as this will be entered in a store competition this month.

**olim**

Here an update then, now I've done the nmm, does gold work on this scheme? I'm not sure..

**Largeblastmarker**

It does, though I can see it being confused for bone.

**olim**

If it were bone, I wouldn't mind - but I was aiming for gold - I managed to get a little more contrast on the gold since that last pic, made it look more metallic I hope. Whilst I was darkening I went a darkened other areas like around the intestines, which I think the model needed.
Also done a start on the armour, I hope I can have that almost done at least by the end of the day.

I think I'll enter this in UK golden daemon at the end of the month, hope it manages to get a finalist pin :p

**olim**

Armour done, axe next to do.
What sort of base is still undecided, snow, swamp, rusty stuff? Any suggestions?

**olim**

Well the models done except for small corrections, just the base now, I wanted to do a sort of swamp effect but since GW discontinued water effects and Golden Daemon is GW products only I'm a bit stuck.

**Largeblastmarker**

Standing on a pile of daemons?

**olim**

Well, the Nurgle lord got a finalist pin

Now I've started and almost finished a very quick paint job on this eldar model, should be on eBay by next week.

**olim**

Commission for a friend WIP: It had the slight annoying ridge on the face going through the eye, it was pretty tricky to remove so its partially still there, i think it didnt buffet the face's appearance too much, although i did have to attempt that eye around 6 times...

**olim**

Finished tau dude: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/557511.page#6143409

Now to do a conversion, i call it a puss thirster, nurgle style bloodthirster
