Very cool man. I like the Chaos marine alot. Im new too. Welcome to us hahaha. That Space wolf looks wicked. Could i possibly drop you an idea for the future? you seem to have the skills to pull it off.

Ragnar in Ork Armor on an Ork bike in the middle of a speed freaks bike race? My brother told me it was in the Space Wolves omnibus and i thought it was a cool idea. (he also could be lying, Hes like that) but yeah. just an idea.

Once again? awesome!

I love the blood effect on the ork.

You are clearly talented in the painting department, extremely talented. And because I'm being picky because of your high standard, there are two things that don't seem right to me. 1. The odd colour choices, for example the Empire captain, the pink sash and the turquoise shield bit do not go, they are too garish, especially along with the checks. (Kudos too you for being able to do checks) Think more about colour and colour theory, where do you want viewers to be drawn to on a model, try too use lighter colours on the face, weapon Etc. to achieve this. 2. Think more about the modelling side of things, the diorama at the top of the page, the Space Wolf is quite well positoned and posed, yet he is armed with two CCW, fair egnough, he is a SW but personally it doesn't click with me. I always expect to see a marine with a bolt weapon, clip empty or otherwise. The ork however is worse, the legs are quite static, which is odd with the mentality of an Ork, Waagghhh and all that, he should be running. The Orks clenched fist also looks a bit unatural to me. As if the Ork is tensing to recieve a hit, very Un-Orky.

However over-all you have the painting skills to carry off great techniques, with just a slight amount of planning you could easily be alot better. Show us more!

(Sorry about the ramble)

Look freaking epic. My only advice would be some highlight on the Empire dudes face, he looks too 'undeadish' for an Empire Captain. However this could be to the lighting so I dunno haha.

I salute you! Great work!

Hell of an introduction. Those are some damn fine minis.

Great minis. I really like them. Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks for the nice comments!

I agree with what was said about the colours on the Empire Captain, I painted him around 9 months ago now, and didn't really consider colour coordination when I was painting him, I was just trying out some new ideas on him really.

The reason for the two ccw on the Space Wolf was that... well yeah, he is a Space Wolf so I just thought it might look more agressive.
My next duel that I do shall certainly be a lot more considered!



Thanks,

Tom

www.onfirepainting.blogspot.com for more images!

Great, keep on improving!
Forgot to mention i really like the Blanche looking Chaos Marine, nice one.

Fantastic minis. All great, but love the Mad Dok espaecially. That orange gunk in the syringe - really... toxic!

Awwwww what helmet has that chaos guy got its freaking cool, i might make a tactical squad with those helmets

I like the chaos guy best the helmet just sets him off, It looks like a chaos warrior helmet with the horns taken off, i may be wrong tho

Are chaos warrior, warhammer fantasy, i've never even looked at chaos but my brother used to collect them.

You are correct in your assumtion! Chaos warrior head, no horns!

Very nice. Your sig banner says it all.

Thanks! Yes lol, I just learned how to make a clickable banner the other day! I am rather happy with it!

When I finally get some painted minis up I'll have to knock up a banner. Not that I'll have a Website to link to though lol.

As I am on the search for models to add to my site gallery, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what to paint, something that would suit my painting style preferably!

Tom

Really nice models wickedcarrot, I'd like to suggest something from the Enigma range of figures - they have some great sculpts and I would like to see something from there painted up reallll gooood!!!

dfb

I love the fake king model! I will order one or two models from them soon!
