Ohai!

Here's a Wraithknight I did for a commission. Im sorry for the background, as I don't have a proper lightbox yet. Anyway, I'm very happy how the puppy turned out.

Base is resin, but I don't know where client got it. Gotta ask next time I chat with him. Clicking a pic makes it go bigger!

Anyway, enjoy!









Oh right! Here's a link also to step-by-step guide I made. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/552653.page

*Edit* Have completed 3 groups of Dire Avengers, but I will replace these pics with better ones as soon as I get to photograph them again. Right now they're at client, so I can't.







*2nd Edit* Hi again! I've managed to complete 3 jetbikes out of 10 that I've got under work, and here they are! And once again, clickety click on pic gives bigger hit!





More of Alaitoc goodiness, coming soon near you!

Stunning work!

Love the paintjob!!! Looks great!!

Gorgeous!

Creative use of stippling! The base is excellent as well, looks like something straight out of a craftworld.

~Tim?

That base idea is fantastic, well done

Nice. I like the mottled texture of the blue areas compared to the smooth, solid yellow areas.

That is stunning work.

Awesome paintjob)
I am painting Alaitoc too)

Thank you all for your kind words.

That looks really great, very evocative. Makes me think its ancient but very well taken care of. The base is great. Consider that idea stolen

OMG, that base is amazing!

Truly inspired. Everthing you've done with that model shows your talent and dedication.That base is genius and fits the model perfectly.

Thank you a lot!

I have been in this hobby for a long time, and my painting skills and methods are all self-learned without anyone to guide me or tutorials to read, so it's all just really hard work.

Im truly happy when I can inspire others with my work.

Fantastic looking model. I really like the deep dark blue color on the main body!

True inspiration for my new Alaitoc army - excellent work sir!

Great looking model, and the solar system base looks amazing as well. Where is the base from?

New things joined the Alaitoc army!

I must apologize for bad quality pictures, unfortunately I forgot my camera when I delivered these to client, and completely forgot to photograph them at home.

Anyways, here's some Dire avengers for you to see.







Otherwise they're ok'ish pics, but white balance is way off, and helmets are pure white. All methods used are same as with the Wraithknight.

Can you spot what I've used for squad markings?

Lovely looking models mate! Very inspiring

Nice to see a refined finnish painter in the community.
Awesome job on the Wraithknight!

Gorgeous work. The stippling on the Wraithknight looks amazing, the shield particularly. Very well done, and I do not believe I have seen that technique used in such a fashion on a large war machine. Cheers.

Very nice, like the deep blue stippling. I think I spotted the squad markings too, the stripes on the helmets plumes?

First of all, impressive work. Are your squad markings the alternating patterns of black and yellow helmet frills? While creative, the first two pictures look odd since the black and yellow aren't evenly distributed on the frill. This creates a noticeably long yellow frill portion. Still, a cool idea.

DING DING! Correct answer!

Yes, helmet plumes act as a squad markings. That way, they can all be used in a single unit as well, without them being too confusing. I'm not entirely sure what I will use with guardians yet though.

Anyways, thank you for your comments and kind words, and soon, there will be bikes!

Nice to see a refined finnish painter in the community.

Thanks! I've mostly been just lurking, but now I got something new to show. My own armies are a bit bland, compared to all the commissions I've done.

Oh, and yeah. One rider compensates something with that huge spear I think. All them bikes are mixtures of regular and shining spears, so they can be used either one.
