An hour, maybe ? There's nothing complicated going on in it, just a steady hand and a couple of thin layers without much blending going on.

Brutal reaver, and great banner Props on the loadout as well, I always respect titans who are here to get stuck in.

Thanks Boss, always ready to rip and tear until it is done
The legio currently stands at 12 painted titans and 18 knights, of which at least 4 god-engines and ~10 knights are suited for extreme close proximity violence. If only one could arrange some games this year without accidentally infecting and killing people, I could finally properly try out a list that could be solely dedicated to ramming fists down some mechanical throats en mass

I agree, that freehand looks great, as does the titan as a whole. Really looks like it's ready to ruin somebody's day with a chainfist to the face!

Oh my, how time flies when you aren't painting titans. This chap took only one afternoon
Another lord joins the XIV, with proper bloody weaponry (still salty over 8th / 9th DG codex's stupid wargear restrictions). A leader of the Unbroken Blades SHALL wield a manreaper if he so desires, dangit!

I really dig the 30k version of Deathshrouds, make so much more sense when fielded in the numbers the new DG codex wants. These look particularly The Business

Thanks Boss!
Sadly, most 40k games can only fit 18 scythe boys with the rule of three in effect... It would be fun to run Mortarion and 49 Deathshrouds at once for the lolz
Hm, that would actually only be about 3000 points or a bit less. I should build more scythe boys, then...

It is a most human tendency to look at your old works with some disdain, especially when you're showing them to other people. After all, the newer works are surely more representative of your art.
But then there are some things where you just go "eh, that's still cool". For me that's my Space Hulk project from 2009, the zenith of my teenage modeling skills. Despite being pretty roughly handled by convention goers over the years, this demo set has never failed to draw curious onlookers to the table. I'm still forever bitter about starting the project with 30 mm squares, making it a bit narrow for most modern models in general ZM use. One of these years, one of these years I swear I'll build a new and better one with blackjack and hookers...
But while waiting for that retirement plan, this summer's main Finnish convention is still digital due to earlier Corona restrictions. Not letting such little things stop me from some good gaming, I went and designed a virtual tabletop setup for SH on Tableplop with lots of immersive pictures for various situations during the game. "Into the Heart of Darkness" shall be our celebration of Richard Halliwell and his works, as a thousand bolter shots will mourn his passing.
Maybe I'll even paint the rest of the terminators in that box one day
Enjoy!
Next set, finally some better pictures of the table itself

I really like the flamer projection shot with the billowing clouds of smokey, flaming death. Really cool. Also, the pipe in the final shot is a simple, but awesome and effective detail. It looks like you used wire as brackets, taking advantage of the styrofoam material you used for the walls. Is that correct?

Thanks, the little tea light explosions have made many a battle far more fun at the table
As for the piping, yeah. Simple steel wire pushed into the foam both looks like it belongs there and helped to keep the straw in place while the PVA dried.

A lot to catch up on. Really fast turnaround on the Deathshroud and they look amazing. And iirc the Rule of 3 is for official tournaments and not a standard rule per se. So if you got a game opponent you cold to Morty and the 49 Deathshrouds
That Space Hulk Board is ace and I do hope you will one day built a Bender-approved new version!

Yeah, rule of three isn't a hard limit by the core rules as such. It's in the GT pack if memory serves. Still, it's one of those basic things that will be in use most of the time, though I doubt most people who are fun to play with would oppose such a themed and obviously underpowered army every once in a while

Cheers Boss, no model left unconverted
The smokestacks are funny. I originally started putting them on the termies to imitate the FW's Grave Wardens look, but it has since become a thing on all my terminators. Fits the theme, since they haven't fallen to Nurgle but use the DG codex rules so there obviously is a constant corrosive miasma cast around them (giving all the enemies that sweet -1 Toughness) and it makes them look more esoteric, even barbaric in comparison to the bare plate their loyalist kindred sport.

That's an awesome group of termies mate, well done. Colour scheme is great - love the red, really pops as a contrast colour and isn't something you see often with DG. They're also probably the first minis I've seen in red/white/green that manage to avoid feeling Christmassy! Maybe because of the grungy weathering and blood!
Great action shots on this page too. The terrain and photography really brings the minis to life. Brilliant work mate, thanks for sharing!
