These are just some table top pieces I cranked out in the last 2 weeks...
trying to get these armies ready to play.









hope you like them.

Tabletop Quality he says.

It seems to be becoming a trend to call quality work 'tabletop', makes you seem even better

Nonetheless: sweet painting

well, its a fancy table....

My god, this is table-top quality? Amazing. Looking at this, I could probably be safe in saying that your top-quality models would turn my eyes into butter.

How did you get such a unified scheme on the orks and chaos? I'm relatively sure that i'm seeing a wash in there, but there must be something else..

And that terminator looks absolutely gooey.

washes for sure. cant get enough of devlan mud wash. the rest is just drybrush work with highlighting.
Thanks!

All very nice.

Stunning, please keep 'cranking out' these 'tabletop quality' minis

If these are tabletop quality, you must have set your camera for Awesome.
Nice ones

..."just a few tabletop minis, nothing more..''

My word. If this is tabletop quality, then my models must be..

Calling those "tabletop quality" is like calling a porterhouse steak hamburger. Those are some gorgeous models you've got there, and I'd love to see some closeups.

They are "Tabletop Quality" if your gaming table is made from gold and varnished in orphans tears. I love the paint job but what floors me more than anything else is the smooth transition between colours, make the models look very natural. How long do you spend on each model? (if you say 15 mins I am going to rage quit)

Wow, very nice Models! I love the way you painted the blue.

Those are amazing, especially the Orks. How did you paint the skin?

I use Vallejo game color.
I use a base coat of goblin green with a thraka green wash. Then a devlan mud wash.
then a drybrush of goblin green again followed by scorpion green and then pale yellow highlights.

lol 15 minutes i wish. probably about 8-9 hours each model. that includes time for stuff to dry and then painting and basing.

GIVE ME YOUR SACRED HANDS!

This is tabletop? Ever thought about winning GD?

Love the work, that is some fancy table indeed!

I think it's called a humble brag.

Your blending is flawless... I am both amazed and jealous...

Heres a bigger pic of the termie.

Looking great. How did you paint the blue skin on the ork?

-melts models in microwave.

CHAOS SPAWNDOM FOR YOU!

Really, great great work! This is far beyond tabletop quality. Makes mine look like eh... yeah.

Ok very nice models just one question for now how did you paint the ork blade???? and I'm assuming the browns are from the devlan mud wash correct. Bear with me if it is not brown color blindiness suck even if it is accute.


Plus very nice fancy table quality you have there

I love them. They are really, really nice. Highlighting and shading are really top-notch. But, calling them "tabletop quality", when they clearly aren't, and it's clear that you don't intend to make an army out of any of these, is frankly a bit pretentious.

But, truly great work!

same blue I used on the termie.
Vallejo colors
ultramarine blue, devlan mud wash all over, ultramarine blue drybrush, electric blue drybrush and highlight then final highlights of steel grey.

The blade was GW chainmail, devlan mud wash, with a green wash and red was and purple wash in the metal followed by a chainmail highlight.

Actually, I am making an army of of these. Not just one but three (Orks, Chaos, and SM). after two years im up to about 500pts per army right now. Pretentious? Overly ambitious, more likely. I say good day to you sir. I SAID GOOD DAY! lol.

Usually by table top i mean i'm going to use them in games. not just to sit on a shelf. I personally dont use the word table top to infer quality ( i know most do).

Just curious; how did you paint the white, on the terminator?

Pretty awesome paint job for table top quality

Thanks everyone!

I call my models table top quality...*cries in corner*

These are awesome

Wow beautiful!
