Hi everyone. I'm a painter from South Florida and I decided to start a Dakka P&M blog to show some of my work. Hope you enjoy!

This is a WIP of a Word Bearer's Land Raider I'm currently working on. The braziers and tusks are from the Warshrine of Chaos kit from the fantasy range.




The preacher bellows out thunderous words of impurity and hatred, all to glorify the loathesome gods he serves! The pulpit rests atop the heavy bolter turret, which seemed appropriate while I was making this... that way, the enemies of the XVII Legion will believe and die - in that order. He is flanked by acolytes on either side, who assist his sermon by pouring bolter-fire into the ranks of the unbelievers. The Dark Apostle will be fastened to the tank by magnets, so he can be detached and used as a regular model in the game. Sometimes you've got to do your smiting up close and personal. I'll probably have to crucify a space marine at the top of that totem-pole, before this project is done...

This is just...fantastic. I may have to borrow elements from this

Looking forwar to it being painted. Consider me subbed

wow thats epic.
Truley amazing model so far, cant wait to see it painted

Thanks. Should have painted pics up in the next couple of days.

Rest not in destruction. Know ye not that the Sword of Hatred has no scabbard? Be thou, then, the ever-drawn sword of the Gods, that thou mayst never weary in shedding the blood of the righteous. Let those who oppose the Gods look upon thy countenance and tremble. May the Gods grant them a moment of faith, a gruesome death, and an eternity of torment... in their mercy. Thus spoke our primarch on the 666th day of his ascension. Thus I speak now unto thee. Thus let it ever be, forever and ever, Amen. - From the Epistles of Marduk.

It's about 95% done. The only thing left is to crucify a marine on the chaos star, and to build a base and the magnets that will let the preacher detach. I'd also like to put up an apocalypse sheet for this thing, at some point, since this seems like the kind of project they were designed for. If anyone's wondering about the Pentagram, I was talking this project over with the customer, and we agreed that the Word Bearers were pretty much satanists. So, it only seemed natural....

Unholy that is amazing and it's nt even finished?! Brilliant work

Thanks!

Some preheresy World Eaters I did a while back, for my personal collection. Have always wanted to finish the army...

Really nice white you've got. Love the look

That LR is stunning.

Thanks. Waiting for some chains I to come in from ebay, so I can crucify a loyalist properly...

A new Word Bearers project - a Sorcerer of Chaos Undivided, utterly enslaved to the hideous gods of the warp! This guy took a couple of hours to put together, most of it spent selecting bits. Getting them all to fit right together was a task too, since space is limited on even a terminator model. I also repositioned the legs, so that he would look like he was stepping into the spell he's casting. The only thing really left to do is to green-stuff the left shoulder-joint where the gap is showing. Hopefully I'll be able to paint him some time in the next week or so. I'd like to eventually do an entire army of devil-worshipping Astartes! I'm also working on a trio of riptides and another trio of contemptors, but they're not converted so there isn't much to show at the moment. More pics to follow.

He is a grade A badass

Those are some impressive models. I kinda want to say the land raider might be a little over-the-top, but it looks really good. I really like the sorcerer though, his pose reminds me a lot of the loyalist terminator librarian model, which is nice.

Thanks... yeah the raider is pretty wild. I originally bought the Librarian to use as the base model for the sorcerer, but came to feel it wasn't chaosy enough, realized that what I really wanted was the arm and the posture. Working on a Word Bearers vindicator today, will put up some WIP pics this evening.

























A Word Bearers Land Raider WIP... The Mouth of Damnation! Sometimes you've got to blast imperial fools right off the face of their wretched planets.... only thus can the gods be magnified. The only thing left to do with this model before painting it is to add green stuff around the candles, for flame and wax.

Since I won't have any current projects to show for a while, I thought I would post some pics of some preheresy guys I did a while back. This is the nucleus of what I hope to build into a much larger force. The project was inspired by Big Red's death guard army, featured on BOLS. I liked that the collection showed the story of the legion in models, so I wanted to try to do something similar with the World Eaters. I tried to hold back on the blood splatters and battle damage in order to emphasize the transition the Sons of Angron underwent, from loyal soldiers of the Imperium to blood-crazed maniacs. In other words, I didnt want to make an army of berserkers in blue and white armor, since that hasn't happened yet.... Instead, I just wanted occasional hints of the dark fate that lay in wait for these warriors...

Impressive stuff as ever You've given my an idea now so I need to purchase the zombie dragon kit

Very nice What do you think of the Heldrake model? Loads of people hate it but I think it's cool. It's a mechanical dragon, how is it not cool

Thanks. I like it. The body and the legs are a bit stubby but the whole mechanical dragon thing needed to happen, IMO. It just doesn't look like a metal version of a regular D&D dragon, so I think that throws some people..

Your work is very nice but a few things caught my eye and i was wondering if maybe you already did them. Your landraider is very cool however i noticed several things you can add to it to make it come to life more. First off your smoke stacks and vents look like they need a wash, and some gold or bronze or different grey to make them more dimensional which leads me to the tank treads, i feel like you need to add in some bronze and gold and light brown to make it feel more alive, same with the sponsons and fire, i thought like a little bit of light blue or white on the fire even green would make it look more dimensional if not more like warp flames. The sponsons look like they need some type of grey hitting the edges. And the overall tank i didn't notice any of the rivets painted? Dab some gold on them or silver and hit them with a wash ontop, try edging the whole tank with troll slayer orange or a light grey.

I am by no means a better painter then you are but i have noticed how much more alive and real looking a model can become on the table with these minor details i hope this helps you out. I wasn't sure if it was the camera or the lighting but you may have done some of this i just couldn't tell some shots it does look like you have and others not

Not a fan of the horns on the front of the Land Raider. They seems out of place for one thing. Second thing is how they are attached. Just looks a bit silly. Love the paint job and the rest of it though. Perfect job.

Those tanks are fantastic so many cool little details, keep going

Young Logan

Thanks!

Vior''la Sept Fireblade, hot off the desk!

Oh my. That Land Raider is fantastic, and I love what you've done with the Vindicator. Great painting and modelling all around, well done.

Thanks!

A very nice, crisp looking model. Good job

Another Vior'la Tau, magnetized so that all the weapon options can be used. For the lesser of two evils!!! (chaos player, can't help it.)
