Finished, I think.

Loads more pics in my p&m blog (link in sig) and will get a mail off to NF soon as.

Oh, man, this is good. Really good.

I've got some learnin' to do...

^ Well thanks for the comments and don't be too hard on yourself! The shading on your tabard is great, your face detailing I really like, your basing is interesting... I could go on, it's a great job. Possibly hit the blade and the spiky base bit with some washes - green, or even a glaze medium on the blade, just to tone down the white a wee bit, and brown or black (or both) to crust up the chaosy goodness!
Above all, keep at it: doing painting contests is a really, really great way to push yourself and try new things.

Thanks, graven. I appreciate the feedback. I have been away from the hobby for about 9 years and just getting back into painting/modeling. I need to rebuild my stock of supplies, including some washes & inks...I remember how useful they were back in the day.

The good news is, I have 100+ CSM to practice on...http://www.flickr.com/photos/hdbizblog/7698949682/in/set-72157630697126870

Provided its OK Nerdfest I'd like to switch at the last minute to tonight finished project:

Counts as Wolfguard allies for me marines born out of the need to use DV Chosen as something useful.

WIP:


Finished:


Simple basing not to detract from the model and keep it relatively uncluttered.

er... dont want to sound like a moldline nerd... but ...well...the helmet...have a look there... otherwise a nice looking model... (oh just found a mold line on the backpacks exhausts and a brush mishap on the crown of the backpack too... )

Eagle eyes there Vik. Sadly moldlines are my nemesis and will be left as it. The red mark however must disappear

oh eagle eyes on other peeps models i have

for my own...*shush*

I've never been called Eagle Eyes.. but I have been called Eagle Eye begfore...

... more like funny looking...

LMAO...

OK... final final. DOne what I could for mold lines and paint overlapping without comprimising the rest of the model. Not perfect but if I do much more I'll slip up and ruin something!

Here's my WIP of Sidonus, named in memory of the video game legend
Hope you like him, i'll have him finished as soon as!

Nice work all. I like the shading on Sidonius, and that is an angry looking wolf guard

If peeps are posting their entry composites the I guess I should join in



(Zoomable)

There are some rather purdy minis coming out in this comp



I have to paint the lenses on GrotNob and he will be ready for some pictures!

Aaaaand A late entry for me:

Assault Terminator Sergeant (as of yet unnamed)


A little more GS work and hes getting some paint!

It's not late until after the closing date.

Ah good to see another fellow shaving the good 'ol space wolf heads to get some decent looks :-)

Sheesh, and I feel pressured because I have goggles to paint and Im done, this guy has a whole mini to put brush to

Yes KC you SHOULD be pressured! :-) I just love seeing nervous sweat soaking into your beard..... mmmmmm..... wash me with it..... WASH ME!!!!!!


*ahem* sorry dude, just got... carried..... away a little bit.....

Hehehe Im live to make you feel better, KC

Nice work Ramos. Really nice movement in that mini. I always like seeing dynamic terminators Just because you're wearing a few tons of armour doesn't mean you can't dance! thats what the power servos are for, after all.

^exactly my thoughts too! :-) although i draw the line at backflipping off a Landraider!

the suits were built for dealing with reactors and the radiation that went with it... being nimble wasn't needed... just being impervious to radiation at high rads.

its an interesting position, and nice dynamics, but having moved in a suit of armour, its hard to see someone able to quite move like that in something as bulky as tactical dreadnought armour (terminator armour for you newbies )

sorry lols...

@Flinty and nerd: Thanks!! He turned out better than I expected- the feet were a royal pain to get. some angles Im still not sure he got right.

And geez. Way to be Captain Buzz Killington there, Childe
But no really, I know its a little over the top movement wise (I know what ya mean about moving in armor) but I definitely think I wanna invoke the Rule of Cool for him. The concept was too neat to pass up

HE spawned from an idea when I was building an arena for the =]_,= Terrain competition, and my mind kinda wandered to this scene of orks vs Termi, and the termi jumping off a rock or something and doing an overhead smash with a TH. Problem was that I couldnt figure out how to do a 2-handed hammer, so went with a shield-bash kinda charge like I have now.

Annnnnnd I also agree. If a MegaArmored Nob cant do it, a SM couldnt either
