Everything from tech servitors to the latest priests are brilliant ! love the marbling on morrisey too.. great to see dkok on your blog weets .. checked out the other forum you mentioned earlier , some brilliant painters on there too.. i am wondering what skeemian madness your cooking up for Halloween myself.

Yes, just yes! that Chainsaw weilding madman is great!

You are all too kind! Thanks for stopping by.

I think I may have made the NMM chrome too subtle for fear of overdoing it. Next time brighter colours!

I'm not sure about doing hazard stripes on that chainsaw - I don't think it would look right.

Has anyone noticed that the morrisey priest has one hand twice the size of the other? Damn citadel and their giant hands!

Next up I'm repainting the redemptionist leader type dude. Here is how I painted him last time, I did a great job considering my relative inexperience at the time - but this is such a great miniature I had to have another crack at it! Say goodbye to the old paintjob;

OLD PAINT-JOB NOT A NEW ONE!

I'm trying to get the first stage as creamy smooth as possible these days by doing a little wet blending with white after the usual process of primer, wash, drybrush. Getting a model smooth on a macro scale is hard but needs to be mastered. I should get to grips with my airbrush.

Lol, Dammit Weety! now i cannot unsee that giant hand :-( it's like someone blew up a plastic fake one and popped it on! Aaargh!

Yes - Its a great model if you ignore the hand - but now you cannot unsee!

Anyone have any suggestions to what free hand techniques etc I might try on the redemptionist? Marble worked out very well (thanks for the suggestion dysartes) so I feel like trying more stuff out.

My marble recipe. Mix up P3 green ink (emerald green colour) and some armour wash until its darkened enough and apply a thin layer, then take a little of the mixture and stir it into white until its just off-white green and draw gently curving lines roughly parralel to each other, then add another layer of the ink and another layer of stripes, repeat.

How about you try for a velvet effect on the robes? would make them look heavier and richer for the model? Pyriel did it on one of his GK's I think or it may have been Coteaz? i'll see if I can find it if you want?

weety very beautiful ma'am. Lovely marble, and nice to see another marble fan out there it sure is fun to paint! This project line is drawing you to some really cool artistic places! I love the mood you are in
AS to what nerdy mentioned on 3 third mini up...the gun..?..i have to agree just a bit that the sky/earth effect, which i think it is, is coming across not super strong simply because the palette is so muted, which works perfectly for the overall mini, but i think the previous gun came out better because you didnt use a skyearth effect and the nmm worked as it was with the palette as well. Just my thoughts. But gorgeous nonetheless!

Nerdfest - yes please do send me a link - I like to look at other peoples stuff - learn things etc. I did go with a velvety look in the end.

I agree beebop, brighter colours wouldn't have worked so well on him - next time will be better!

A close up on the redemptionist. I wanted to do another subtlle job but somthing told me to use bright colours and try and make him subtle anyway. I'm pleased with him, especially the NMM melta barrel.



Group shot!

Nice NMM mate! Didn't even know it until I read your post ;P

Lovely selection of miniatures weety. Lots of character. Nice work!

They make a fantastic group weety.

Those are wonderful!

What a spectacular group of figures weets... a feast for the eyes!

You are seriously talented madam. You've got me thinking all about your red methods.

For the record, in case I forget Its P3 red ink in layers, followed by a mix of green and black wash, with wet blended flesh tone for the highlight.

NMM seems to be default for me now, but maybe I should get some of the new fancy metallics like vallejo liquid gold?

Here ya go Weety! and those models are fantastic together too! so enjoyable to see :-)

Hate to get on the wrong side of those priests!

Awesome Necromunda and throw back minis. I would've like to see more checker patterns, but they are all seriously good!

Hi moltar good to see you! I've been thinking about a checker pattern for the next priest's chainsword.

So I've been doing gits commission and I've hit a wall, What to do with the mantis shoulder pad. I will hop over to his gallery and see how he does them - this is what I've got so far.

Wow that power axe is lovely weety, so colourful and yet grim dark.

Very nice as always. That axe head is very cool, Going to have to try that myself at some point.

I can help with that weets... (beautiful job on the figure BTW)

Loving the rainbow axe!

I don't think rainbow axes are to everyone's taste! Like Marmite. Glad you four like it. I can also do lightning for those who hate rainbows. When I painted this I was thinking of the way hot iron in a forge goes from yellow to red then to blue as it cools.

Thanks for that picture gitsplitta that gives me a clue.

amazing work weety. i just love the muted but colourful tones, your models have a really sophisticated feel to them.

i particularly like the redemptionist . the NMM on the melta barrel is amazing, but i also love the shadin. g on the cloth (especially the chest) and the finish you got for the book he is holding is perfect.

the tech marine also looks great. is he an older model or a custom built piece?

Hi San76 and thankyou for the compliment! I've come a long way. The techmarine is all from the early nineties excepting he has a custom mantis warriors shoulder pad.

Weety if anyone is going to pull off a rainbow axe blade with the feeling of grimdark its you. I will refrain from any overly obvious rainbow jokes. It really is lovely, but i have to say, the handle i almost like more. It looks a bit like jade or some such semi precious stone. Really has fantastic depth.
Gorgeous work as usual madame

One down, two to go!

Beautiful work Weets. I am truly impressed!
