Sig those termies look mighty tasty!! Excellent job on the freehand images and script.

I think you're the master of highlighting, Sigur.

Hey Sigs, hit me with a pm when you get on bud!

Very good! I only wish my BA Terminators look this nice.

@Moltar: Thanks very much!

@crazypsyko666: Haha, thanks.

@MajorTom11: Hey, I'll send you an email shortly.

@Some_call_me_Tim?: Cheers. The only thing is that I really am kind of burned out on BA Terminators at the moment. I just can't paint them any more for at least a week I think.



Update!

Characters:


and a draft of the battle standard:


Hope you like everything. I'm thinking of what to add to the battle standard now. I think that the eagle side could do with some kind of texture on the yellow as you see on some bretonnian banners but not the swirly pattern I like to do in these cases. Maybe some sort of "studded" look. On the hammer and shield side, I'm thinking of adding some laurels in the yellow fields.

Loving those blood angels! they are beautiful, i don't know why you were beating yourself up over the photo's and the red? it looks bloody good to me! I wish i had the level of skill and patience you do to produce something that nice! well done dude, seriously nice work!



Nerdfest09

Thanks, nerdfest09.

Right, after a short hiatus I'm back with a bunch of new pictures!

First, something I painted for one of my own armies *gasp* - a quick little mission objective:


...BA Terminator Librarian:


here along with some recently-finished friends of his:



Some characters for the Averland Empire army:








...and now the latest new project - an all new Space Wolves army (commission of course):

Test miniature


Grey Hunters Pack #1 (WIP)


Grey Hunters Pack #2 (WIP)


Grey Hunters Pack #3 (WIP)


Reason why the bolter casings on pack#3 are all red is a change of mind on the customer's side who decided that he'd rather have the gun casings be red and that all chainswords should have yellow and black hazard stripes. So I'm really looking forward to painting hazard stripes on 17 chainswords.

Anyway, hope you like everything! Feel free to comment, critizise and so on. See you soon!


P.S.: Oh, I also did a Malifaux warband which you can see here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/371528.page

Looks pretty dang arsome from my point of view! Keep up the good work!!

Continued awesome... Wolves are great, and the Empire stuff continues to just about be the best WFB human stuff I have seen, period.

How much would it cost to just hire you to live in my basement and paint minis all day for me lol?

@Flidais: Cheers!

@MajorTom11: Thank you very much. As for the lifetime hiring - that mainly depends on the food I guess.


Okay, the first packs are almost finished now and I have to say that I love them. I usually have a slightly complicated relationship with Space Wolves. I really like them but all the armies that count as Space Wolves but aren't, Thunderwolves cav, certain rune priest powers, the overall rules design across the codex.... there's some things about them I don't agree with. But this army I'm really starting to like.







Hope you like them as well.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Food? Google: Poutine

lol!

Very nice wolves, more battle damaged than your usual stuff eh?

@Raen: Thaaaaaanks.

@MajorTom11: *googles* Well, colour me intrigued but I doubt I'd be in the shape to paint let alone open an eye after that kind of meal. Yup, battle damage on those guys again. I guess owning a Space Wolves army and liking battle damage go hand in hand with each other.

Now I see why you're the one people pay to have paint their models

Loved your Empire Captain, btw. It screams character! (Character as in unique in style and easily recognizable, not character as in "This is a character for my Averland Army" )

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Rawson

@Rawson: Thanks very much!


Update - been working on a new Step-by-Step Tutorial for the past 14 hours or so. This one is going to be a bit smaller again; more like the Dark Elves Musician one rather than the Sicarius tutorial but also more to the point and I'm sure that some people will enjoy it.

The new tutorial is up now! Here's the link to the article with the most cumbersome name so far:


Space Wolves Wolf Guard Battle Leader Step-by-Step



Hope you enjoy it. Feedback is appreciated as always!

Great tutoriall, I liked that you have several pics of each phase. It helps to see what you have done, when it is possible to see the fig from several angles.

@Metsuri: Glad you like the tutorial. I added shots from different angles when there was actually something to see on the other sides or when steps had a mpact on different sides of the model.

No new Space Wolves for now but look who's back:


They're still very WIP of course. There's more to come, including a battle wagon, lots of Bikers (FW dudes among them).

I thought I'd throw in some of the Orks for now because after the tutorial I got kind of bored with Space Wolves for the time being. As always, I'm just trying to get the less exciting stuff done first so for now it's just 17 Shoota boyz. After those probably some more Space Wolves (maybe a bit of Malifaux sprinkled in) and then more Orks. Depending on how bored I am either Slugga boys, some Vehicle or Nobz.

C&C welcome, hope that everybody's happy and see you later!

Finished!

They look great Sig, love th retro feel to them.

As always really crisp and drool-worthy, keep it up!

@Vitruvian XVII: Thanks very much!

Now for something completely different and to round up the Malifaux commission:







He still needs a little touching up here and there but he's mostly done.

Nice use of the brown pallette, Sigur! That guy looks sweet. I don't think I've seen that Malifaux mini before. Your orks turned out awesome. You did a great job on the yellows. Been awhile since I posted on here, so I'll catch up. Empire guys still look ace and the new SWs looks awesome too! Thanks for the tutorial, as well. Keep up the great works, sigur! Anything special on the horizon? Or are you swamped in Empire and Space Wolves for the time being?

@Moltar: Thanks very much. I posted the other Malifaux minis from that crew in a seperate thread in the painting section. There will be more Malifaux stuff coming up in the next months as well. As for special things...hm, lots of specials really. For the time being, the Empire army is finished (just the Forge's Ironsides command unit to be added soon) and I'm swamped with Space Wolves as you said and more Evil Sunz Orks. Lateron, there will be more Malifaux, as mentioned above, some Infinity (which I'm really, really looking forward to do), some more Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood stuff, more Death Korps of Krieg, possibly a Death Guard army which, by the looks of the list looks phenomenal already and maybe a High Elves army too. After all that is done I suppose that the Sisters of Battle craze will set in any maybe I will find some time to revamp my SoB army as well in between all the commissions and revamping my IG armies. Oh, then there's still that Landship....

Update!

I should be finishing the last 10% of work on the BA Terminators which I will commence in a minute but first I did a little work on some more orky stuff:





Seeya later!

Thats a very busy schedule! And rightly so, given the quality of your work

Very eager to see you tackle the Infinity, beautiful range that.

@Vitruvian XVII: Cheers. Also really eager to work with Infinity miniatures. Aside the GW systems, this is the one that's been luring me for years but as I don't really have anybody to get to play with I never really got into it.


Just a quick update on the Orks:




These are taking longer than I thought again. Meh.

Sigur wrote:These are taking longer than I thought again. Meh.

Boy, do I know how that goes! I'm sure your client will be more than happy to wait a little while longer than you said, as they are looking so nice. Love the yellow flames you have on the armor.

_Tim?

Beautiful work as always, Sigur. You make the poofy pants and feathered caps of the Empire look great to me... and I thought that was an impossibility. I think the one that stuck out the most (out of the BAs/librarian, Empire, Orks, etc.) is that single figure commission with the hawk. I like the limited brown palette you used on it. The figure itself is very nice, but that paintjob definitely brings it to life!

-Remi (HF Iz)

@_Tim?: Thanks.

@HF Izanagi: Thank you very much. It's always kind of gratifying to read that I made miniatures someone usually doesn't like appeal to them. The guy with the hawk is just the last part of a whole warband of Malifaux miniatures which you can see here in their very own thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/371528.page#2958592


This is the first test mini for a Death Guard/Apostles of Contagion army I'll be doing in a month or so. I didn't have any Plague Marines lying around and very little in terms of CSM in general so I made with what I could find - a Khorne Berzerker and a few CSM odds and ends.



Yes, long picture is long. Anyway, a fair bit of experimentation was involved and of course this isn't meant to be a showcase level miniature but more of a training ground to see how I can pull off the colour scheme and effects.

C&C are welcome as always. Thanks for looking!

It's looking very nice, if a touch monochrome. I think the addition of a bt more color here and there, perhaps as simple as heavier pigment rusting on the metals would add a lot.

Looking good though apart from that for me, I sense another satisfied client in your future!

@MajorTom11: Cheers! The thing about this colour scheme is that it's made up by FW and even for them, it's really monochrome so I already did my best to add some contrast without betraying the original scheme but adding more rust to the metals definately is a good suggestion.



So after finishing this test mini, it's time to pick up pace on the existing prpojects again. After all the footsloggers are finished now, I can proceed to the Ork vehicles. Here's a first WIP of the next Trukk:





Hope you like it so far.
