What a great idea for a thread. Loving your quintessential Ultramarines. Really nice work. Lots of character. You might find as I did, now your photography is better you need to dust your models now too as the camera will pick it up on the old vets.

Here is my contribution. Im going right in and posting my favourites across all my armies:

Here is My favorite model that I built & painted! :-)

This is an incredible thread with amazing contributions, well done everyone!

winterdyne, that diorama is truly something else - magical! The resin water really makes it special.

Stevefamine, I love the temple and the Dropzone Commander theme you have going on there!

My contribution:



I only clipped, cleaned, glued and painted these skellies - then gave 'em a good ol' dip - but I think that the orange canvas I used looks cool

@kraken cheers for the feedback. Yes, i've come to realise that the dust is now significant enough of a problem for me to deal with

Lovely work in here so far. Looking forward to seeing more. My own favourite I think is my take on Tychus Findlay from Starcraft 2. It's not perfect but it's probably the best examples I'll ever do of chipping, OSL on the cigar and even the free hand pin up is vaguely recognizable. This may be my peak

Ooh, what a cool idea for a thread! I'll go ahead and list my top 5 favorite models I've ever done.

#5: Eversor Assassin


#4: Roboute Guilliman


#3: Longstrike's TX7 Hammerhead Gunship


#2: Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage


#1: Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of the Death Guard

Older model that needs a slight update to the paintjob. Still one of my faves.

So since the title specifies 'made' then I will take that as not a stock model.

So here is my kitbashed Chapter Master in terminator armor:


My Land Raider Ares (my biggest modelling project by far in terms of conversion work)

Awesome stuff so far!

I would say my favorite to date is my true-scale Chaos Lord conversion.

My favorite would be my kitbashed Chaos Lord. I think the thing ended up being made of 4-5 different kits. I always wanted a more Tzeentch like lord that wasn't Rubric. Something that's more what generic Tzeentch mutations would look like. I ended up magnetizing his legs so he could go on a Disc and both his arms. It was a bit of a pain considering the body is metal.

Mine's my heavily converted Celestine, way back before the plastic model came out. Lots of metal shavings everywhere, working on this one.

This guy (or this pair) that I made for WFRP is pretty modest in terms of both scale and ambition - I've done bolder, more impressive minis - but I think he has a lot of character.

Great idea for a thread!

For me right now it would have to be my Imperial Fists Captain. He's converted from a somewhat obscure 'Masters of the Chapter' miniature and I just love how you can read his mind: "Burn the Heretic, banish the Daemon, crush the Xenos... I just wish they wouldn't bleed so much. These capes don't wash themselves."
