I been playing the games since 1990. I doubt i am anywhere near most of your guys work and or painting skills, however i enjoy what I can do and learning new things always . I probably will get some better pics in the future to show off some highlighting and such on some models, however all these pics are done with my droid X and look ok to me, but its my only camera at the moment and I am not a photographer by any means . I hope you enjoy the pics... and now to see if i can learn how to post them right lol...


Test...3 scratch built MK 1.5 Land Raiders (they are modified off the MK1 and cross between it and the MK 3 and before the MK 2 epic version... at least my try at being a little creative lol and these are my first scratch built models that i built at the same time.. learned some things from them and they of course are not perfect per say.)

very nicely done,great home made tanks.

Chaos Mortal Army shot

Shot of some of my 2nd Company Blood Angels


Naggash model i had got after they split undead into Vampire counts and Tomb Kings. I choose to make a VC army out of my undead instead. This model got me 2nd place back in my teen years at local hobby store painting contest. Its not as great as most models i see here on the forum though .

no i try to do my best . I just am a humble guy so to speak. I try to make my minis look good table top and then some, but have not ventured into really trying a lot of the stuff that others have done on the sites more to GW class works.

Nice one with the hand built Land raiders man, they look good,
shame about the spelling though

Loving the beakie grey marines with there Mk1 rhinos, it's a proper blast from the past

Fixed the mistake on my LR model . Lesson learned do detail and such earlier in the evening. Whats funny is that everyone I had shown had not pointed it out to me before and i overlooked it myself..

Here are some more mini's in my collection:

First a redo pic of my TS marines as first pic had no flash to show any of their paint job.

I like the freehand painting on the tanks. Very smooth. Nice lettering.

Pretty cool using the old designs, liking what I see

Thank you for your replies .

Umm, what's wrong with pointing out an obvious and, potentially, embarassing error?

Better than just going 'Wow! nice job man!' like every other post in this thread.

Sometimes critical feedback can be good

You have some interesting pieces there!

I loves them home made tanks and the vampire counts look aweseome! Welcome to Dakka!

Thanks again everyone .

Yeah there is a story with the Vampire Counts. They were many years ago after we first got into the WFB after playing 40k and Epic for awhile one of my friend's first armies. He decided he wanted me to paint them for him after seeing a test model i had done. So I made a little money and painted that army for him... (just models not the bases they stayed black). I then a few months later got the whole army from him (minus some new models i later got) cheap (been so long ago i cant remember exactly how much but was the only army i got paid so to speak to paint and got them for myself later already painted! lol). Some of the figures had been left out in his car at one time thus some of their bases are curled up a little... which i still never messed with fixing. I just decided to as of recent to flock and paint the bases with lighter color to make the undead pop out. Before they got broke up into Vampire Counts... i also used Naggash and in a couple rule sets back (cant remember which one lol) that army and him defeated the Empire and Naggash turned the Emperor Karl Franz into a Wight! LOL. I actually have not gamed with them much after they turned into VC and TK... GW pretty much messed up my army and I had a few armies at that time and just played those instead. Now that the army is totally complete (not all pictured) i have to figure out a transport option for them. By that transport the knights and such with the foot troops. I am thinking foam would maybe hurt them with their weak builds. I am thinking Magnets and metal tool case for them especially as undead i believe are one of the weaker models to transport... probably why i leave them home most of the time and use my orcs in WFB.
