When the air filled with rust, decay and death screams, when daemonic disease turns your comrades into blood-lust zombies, when tentacled monsters burst out of the walls, blocking the route to escape pods... Then you understand that joining the Imperial Guard was the greatest mistake in your life. But looks like that commisar and a catachan gal do not think so! Well, maybe it`s not over yet...

Extremely cool. Is that an escher girl that you've converted? The paint job on the lasgun is epic. Most believable weaponry I've seen so far.
How long did it take you?

Sir, that is super awesome, I love it. The possessed squad-mates are a cool touch, and I like how the three characters are on their own base. Id love to see some WIP pics.

Yet again, another awesome piece.

Your skaven piece is one of my favorites.

As always Nakatan, your conversion work is impressive, and your diorama work is beyond dynamite. This is really good.

Thank you, everyone!
That catachan gal is one of the few girls in the classic IG range, originally she`s armed with grenade launcher.

Next time i`ll surely make a WIP pics)

That diorama took about month of my time, counting sculpting and conversion works.

Waw. I'm voting for some WIP pics too

Instead of whip, how about a tut on that incredible armor blending on the shoulder pads?

Holy crap, this is incredible.

Amazing I really like this !

Holy Hand Grenades, the face of the Cadian in the trio is amazing.

You can see his eyes on the wall-tentacle grabbing his squaddie and thinking "Awww geez where is the Emperor when you need him?"

AMAZING!

Yeah, the whole model is increadible, but actually teasing a facial expression (other than angrily yelling while pointing, of course) out of a GW model puts this in a league with very few peers. When I see something like a Golden Daemon winner I often think, "If I worked hard enough, I bet I could do that." When I see stuff like this, my brain just smacks me in the face and then goes home in a sulk.

Well done!

This is really not a `mighty secret technique`, not even `wet blending` (wich a mystery to me). The techique applied to shoulder pad close to `layering`if i remember it right. And that smoothnes is a result of a really long and daunating work. Commie took about 1/4 of overall paintig time. oh, yeah, and his head actually does not have an eyes. Was a big surprise to me.

Incredible diorama sir!

You've done a really great job, with the exact ambiance of a chaotic attack, when reality falls to chaos.
That's epic, and GD worth to me.

Thank you for your comments. It is important for a painter to hear the spectators` opinions.

I added some closeups of `secondary` characters of this diorama to the firs post. Hope you find it interesting.
