I think this is the best guy I've seen you paint. Really good. I'm digging the base too.

i agree... tho... your orks had a totally different approach... so we can´t actually compare apples and pears...

but that giant looks simply dashing awesome!...

and i am actually a bit unsure if more plantlife would make the base look cooler... maybe a small scenic addition rather? a guardsman standing in awe gawping upwards?

Base is nice. Good work on the stone. But could do with something taller than the little patches of green.


Yes.. perhaps a small amount of busying can be done.

Thank you 40k. I really appreciate it. The base is just a bit of green stuff, glad you like it.

Orks to Eldar haha, Orks are also a larger number, harder to give them a paint job of justice when their is so many. I am thinking a space marine. With the marines getting a new codex, and models right around the corner I can do a simple one.

Well.. its turning out to be 3 tables. But one needs to be done in 5 days? Can anyone say challenge time?

Alright Dakka. My goal is to have a complete Warhammer 40k Battle of Realm Table done in just 5 days. Flock, and paint and all!

That's quite clearly where the rebel base is...

Nice terrain Panda and that's quite a few pigments you have there.

lol...with docs comment in my backbrain... i think then it should be a snowy table? yes?

also... if you use the pigments like that... wouldn´t plain sand have been less expensive?

The pigments are finer than most sand, and siftting something that fine and dying it is a Pita i dont need to deal with. I bought the whole color lot because i had the spare monies. But here see what i have done with some pigments and static grass!

Well this was taken when the chemicals were still setting, hence the foggy swamp. Also at sunset under wall. It is a 2x2 panel so It doesn't fit in my booth. Day light picks are in order.

So what do these pigments do that paint doesn't?

Those pools certainly look like the sort of pools that you don't want to dangle your toes in, good choice of colours.

Alright As requested better skull pics. Because lets face it, its a no brainer!

Any who.. i took a photo prier to my last bit of touch to the pool. It just didn't seem grim dark enough so I darkened it and wanted to add a bit of depth and pit bottomless feel. A blue wash was used on top of the resign. A second resign coat maybe applied before tonight/after this update.

Thanks, its to be algee and the sort. I have added a second layer of water to add even more depth and some tid bits to give the more so illusion of plants. Will post updated picture of finished peice.

It is actually easy and fast to paint them. For me it takes about 45~ minutes. The grass takes a good 15 minutes and a swore arm.


No one does a Rob with grass? How odd.. I hope it transports well.
