Figured I should start using Dakka's showcase gallery, great place that it is! It is tough to remember to put stuff in here after being so focused on the my P and M blog for years, but it will be nice to have a place where people don't have to dig through 35 pages to see what the end result is...

So, here we are, my custom Genestealer Magus - It started out with some concept art I did about 2 years ago, after which I hired Inquisitor Earl (a very talented Dakkaite) to start the sculpt on the mini. At the time, I had no experience sculpting, something I rectified in the interim. Earl did the bulk of the body, while I did the stafftop and the final touches on some of the armor, head and repositioned the right arm.

Here it is!

putting us to shame, Major Tom. Nice to see a long awaited concept come to fruition!

Looks pretty amazing from the expression to the paint. Well done sir!

I love that self assured smirk your Magus has.

He's like 'Bring It On....'

Lovely sculpt and a great paintjob. Nice work Sir!

the gem effects are extremly wel done.. love the gold dots as well !

Huge fan of the Cult... My favorite part is the staff top purestrain.

I love the fleur de lys (that's what it is right?) pattern on the robe!

Great idea for my Harlequins, I need something other than diamonds and stripes...

Edit: Sorry for the post reincarnation but with Codex GSC apparently coming up this weekend I thought it would be relevant / pertinent anyway.

Love your work.

Looking good Tom, really nice sculpt and paintjob.

Five years...serious necroposts.

Well, paint jobs are not news, they don't get outdated or irrelevant. You don't close the museum because the paintings are more than a year old right? That's one thing to love about art, it can always be new to somebody! If someone necro'd a Ben Komets piece I had never seen I sure wouldn't be upset about it lol

Have to say I am pretty proud this guy holds up pretty well against the new, real deal, I can't paint as much or as often as I used to, but the new GSC is slowly getting plucked at as time goes on, thanks for looking!
