1. True!
2. Also true!
3. Sod offff
4. I PAINTED THE EWOK it's on my thread silly hehe xxx

get that ewok in your sig... much better than the stooopid panda anyway

The crows are a simple, yet bold and suprisingly convincing conversion. Good job!

Nicely done, the crows was a flash of genius.

@Recycled genius - Thank you very much!

@ Hahli87942 - Indeed, Slaanesh in fact, made it as an objective for a chaos army that I may or may not do at some point. The valhallans are indeed good allies, think they go with the Ad mech quite well.

@Rogue wolves - Thanks for joining, always nice to have big dakka names commenting! As for bubble? bubble was it? Never heard of her,

@Ironbars - Thanks, strange you should say that, i was going to go and touch up some of the green in places.

@Imperial monkey- Cheers, I thought they made a nice link between the Ad mech and the valhallans that I plan to have as allies.

@ Baiyuan - Lol thanks, I was a bit worried they would look a bit obviously DE heads on DKOK bodies, but I think they worked out OK in the end.

@STC - Lol thanks STC, you flatter me though, It wasn't that ingenious, just thought would make for some nice fluff, when I work out how to paint as smoothly as you, THAT will be a flash of genius.

Before I start I need to ask a favour of everyone. I need to earn some money to continue to buy these stupidly expensive projects, so I will be painting and converting some sort of character and then making an auction for it, I wanted to know what people might be interested in seeing/bidding on? If I get a few votes for something I will get on it.

Today I will be getting the trumpets out for the grand unveiling of the Ad mech walker, which has taken FAR too long to finish, but finally it is done. I apologise if the painting is a bit poor in places and there are small problems and bits of gunk in the construction, but I think the overall effect is pretty good, let me know what you think:





A group shot of the finished Ad mech, as requested!



Some extra freehand I did on the techmarine since last time I put it up, It's meant to be some profound bit of code:

That's really fantastic J-paint! The whole group together is so inspiring, and that vehicle... holy smokes! Very impressive my friend.

Your auction idea is a neat one and given your skill level, bound to generate some good cash. I have a suggestion for something that might be right up your alley and universally useful to anybody who plays (giving you a larger bidder pool).

Given the new paradigm... with fliers and all... how about an Ad Mech version of an Aegis Defense Wall? You could probably scratch-build everything for low cost... painted it like the Ad Mech that you're famous for & anyone could use it on their table as an abandoned Ad Mech emplacement!

any chaos renegades I would be very interested in!

That walker is looking great, the bright greens against the red is outstanding.

Awesome stuff.. if only I had money to bid in your auction! Good luck, I hope it pays off for even more projects.

very good looking... IF i had the money i would love to have painted stuff from you on my shelf/table... but well... i have to get my kids some shoes first

Great tank! The group shot is awesome the red and green does work so well. Can't wait to see more of them!

Looking good J, and the best of luck with an auction. In regards to my painting tricks: so are you saying that you want tutorials?

@Gits - Thanks! as for the aegis idea...I like it alot, maybe cog shaped walls or something, would be fun, depending on how well this first auction goes I may well do that.

@Captainsolstice - I'll bear that in mind for the future, chaos is very appealing conversion wise =]

@Biohazard - Thank you! That seems to be my 'thing'

@Demetri- Lol thank you, by the way I must see how your FW goodies are coming on!

@ Vik - To hell with shoes! Lol nah, thats very understandable, I apologise by the way, Your package in on my kitchen worktop, tommorow! I promise.

@Reaper - Thanks reaper, well if the auction goes well, here's hoping.

@ STC- Thanks very much, and well, any tips on the smooth black you paint would be very appreciated!

So, I decided that rather than making a whole new project for the auction I should sell something already in progress, so that I didn't have to wait for the next week whilst I prepare it, so I have been busily painting away on an old fellow from this blog...

Anyone remember my IG psyker? well he is now finished on ebay and is looking for a new home, please have a look:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140815887558#ht_500wt_1288

excuse the photobomb. :

Nice work! That should attract some attention.

Great work there J-paint, I love the gun and the eyes! The face in generall is really well done.... kudos.

I don't think you'll have problems selling him!

Really cool model, especially the robe's blue.

i wish you all the luck with that seeling.... it looks very cool...and the beginning price is very moderate...


as for my package... the postoffice tried to get me angry... said the parcel was too...wait for it...small...??? so i had to make a letter out of it... it is on its way to you now!!! so watch out!

nice psyker J-Paint i really love the conversion work on him!

@Gits- Thanks gits! here's hoping anyway!

@Merlin - Thanks, the eyes are my favourite bit too I think =]

@prime - Thanks, was a bit worried, only very rarely paint in blue.

@ Vik- Hopefully it might go for a teeny bit more, especially with free shipping! lol. Talking of shipping, your stuff is on its way!

@ Rogue wolves - Thanks alot, mostly kitbashing really, nothing too groundbreaking.

Thanks for the kind words on the auction guys, fingers crossed that will go well. Anyway, I have been a bit presumptuous and used the proceeds from him selling to buy a wraith, and converted him up, Admech style, I've wanted to do this since I first saw this model, the new plastic characters are just so good for conversions! Anyway, here is what I have so far, the arms are chimera lasguns by the way, they don't show up very well in black:





I have been very busy you'll be pleased to hear, not only have I botched that guy together I got inspired by all the Daemon-ness this month and painted up a horror as an excuse to paint something other than grey and red, I went a bit wild with it, I tried to get him looking as if he was changing colour all the time. (apologies to any die-hard fluff addicts out there, it's not overly pink for a 'pink' horror, but there is some I guess!)

holy gak... that is totally awesome looking... i really like that scheme... looks cool, poisonous and bright! you definatly have to do more of these horrors...


the admech looks aslo very good... i remember seeing rawson doing a wraith conversion earlier too... those are rather perfect for such creepy conversions ideas....and the chimera lasguns go very well together with those cowls...by the way... is that a necron head?

oh and nice to hear that the carepackage is on the way^^ looking forward to a lil christmas feel soon^^

your admec wraith is turning out so cool! ever since I saw that guy I wanted to do someting similar but allas, I have guardsmen before any other projects

Very Tzeentch... color me impressed...

Love the wraith conversion!

That horror is ace too, very nice colour changes. Dont worry about the fluff, no need to when it looks that good!

@Gits: Its Tzeentch

Fixed... thanks Vit.

@VIk - lol! no! don't tempt me! Whilst I was painting it I suddenly had visions of the bird guys done in the same colours, they would make PERFECT tzeentch traitor guard. As for the ad mech, the head actually came with it! I was suprised too! looks very necrony to me.

@ Rogue wolves - The cogs are calling to you....

@Gits - Thank you!

@Vit - Thanks, your dark ad mech guy from your dual entry gave me the idea actually, so hats off to you. And lol about the fluff!

No pics today, am working on one of the minotaurs for my guard, he is now festooned in bits and bobs, so hopefully he looks a bit more convincing than last time.

well... i like your vibrant style in using colors and mixing up schemes.... so tempting you comes natural to me

and a traitor guard with this mix of bitz... hmmm... not too much rotten this time... more political heretics with a cool looking style... yers...this is something to ponder ...

Jpaint i am simply loving your work, sorry i haven't checked in some time!

That demon is exactly how it should be. Great job.

@cormadepanda - Lol no problem, thanks for doing so now!

@Demetridominov - Thanks! By the way I want to see how your attempt at the valhallans came out.

So there has been a massive gap between this and my last post, for which I apologise. I lost inspiration for modeling for a while, fortunately I'm back into it now and have alot to share.

First up I've finished one of my IG minotaurs, (atm they are counting as oversized ogryns, but if you have any other ideas please share.)




Also I have painted up a commissar for my valhallans, because lets face it, commissars are awesome.




Also I have made a new squad of valhallan troopers, I'm only going to show this briefly, but It represents a stupid amount of converting time,


Finally I've included this for Vik's benefit, I have put the troopers you sent to good use! I've decided the bird warriors should be the command squad for now, so i've made up these specialists:

damn J-Paint, great work! I LOVE those valhalans you made, best valhalans I've ever seen, and thats no joke! Those bird warriors are really cool too, where is their heads from?
