A bit of grass on the base and you have a real masterpiece there!

how long ago did you paint that! quite the leap from then to now!

Vitruvian XVII - lol. I know...I managed to not keep anything in the lines.

Commander Cain - My god Deja-vu I was always being pulled up on my bases back in the day....didn't see the importance. Now I think the opposite and it frames the miniature.

Rogue Wolves - Oh I would have painted it about 20 years ago.

Hah ha ha, that mini is great , Love it, i still paint eyes like that. But you shouldn't strip him , leave him for posterity , its quite contemporary now ;-)

Golden Daemon standard. Better than the rest of this board. Without a doubt.

You shouldn't strip him. Give him a proper base and let him run with your scavvies, that would be funny...

PDH you should change your name to PDG - Pretty Damn Good.

The oldest mini is fun - Someone should do a "my first paintjob" thread

neil101 - I love the mini too...wish the paint job was better.

DarkStarSabre - I'll base it and enter it this coming September lol

Baiyuan - Good God no lets not get onto Zombies for my scavvies . I'm gutted that GW have released a new vamp counts book without any new zombies...gits. But Isabella Von Carstein will be the head for my Inquisitor.

weetyskemian44 - Thank you. I just mentioned PDG to my girlfriend and she laughed in my face....I feel sad now. Great idea btw I'm now off to create a my first paint job thread over on Painting and Modelling Showcase.....unless someone has beaten me to it.

When I saw the news leak of the vampires book and the new models I had to think of your need for new brainmunchas. Pity! Maybe they'll still do it, but I think they are quite happy with most of there old products as long as they are "multi part plastic kits".
Apart from a lack of fresh walking corpses there is a lot of conversion potential in the new releases. Can't wait to see them up close...

"My First Paintjob" "http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/420673.page one of the mods moved it from the showcase forum....something to do with the zombie being unbased....so it is now in painting and modelling for your contributions

Baiyuan - I'm looking forward to those female vampires on the covern engine thingy...he he he. I need a female judge, perhaps parts of them will do.

Any progress with the mutie tracker?

PDH wrote:Dex - I will do new pictures soon. I need to redo a little of the text. The green and red comes out a lovely purple brown. It is even more interesting if you mix it together wet on the model.

My first painted miniature. I promised to show this to someone (sorry cannot remember who?) possibly in my scavvy blog. Anyway I found him today and thought I'd share it. Now I've photographed him I'm tempted to strip him and repaint him.

Damn PDH, this must be your best work yet.

Hey Baiyuan. I was only stopping by to have a sneaky (not logging in) look at some blogs but since you asked me a question I felt compelled to answer it.

The mutie killer is almost finished, as it happens. I finished painting the skulls on his back and stripes on his trainers this evening. I've also added two gs purity seals because he just didn't fit in with the brute or crusader. Oh and while we're at it.... part way through the painting process I realised you were right about the buckler and removed it....damn I hate it when you're right and I hate admitting it even more

So should have him and Phoebe photographed and up here on Thursday night , since I'm busy tomorrow evening. I'll also take a couple more pics of the crusader with weathered parchment.

Q0rbin - A real beauty.....if it gets enough votes it might get on the front page

I hate it when Baiyuan is right too!

Yeah it is a right paint in the arse...a bit like the carriage for his archivist! - ba dum cha

: D cant waite to see that tracker!

PDH wrote:Yeah it is a right paint in the arse...a bit like the carriage for his archivist! - ba dum cha

A paint in the arse, ey? How did it get there? Isn't it meant to go on the miniature? Also get used to me being right... I always am!
And btw I think people misinterpreted that pipe, he will not sit on it.

Looking forward to see the sneakers on your scout.

Mutie Killer Coop Eustis and Cyber Rat Phoebe









Please believe me when I say it looks better in real life....I think I need to work on how to take photographs....perhaps I shouldn't zoom in so much?

A few more shots of the crusader with dirtied up parchment..



So I'm halfway there for the Inqvitational just the Inquisitor, priest and servant to do. But now I also want to have a sanctioned psyker, warden, judge, arco flagellant and two Ecclesiarchy servitors! Though these 6 will have to wait until the latter half of the year.




Baiyuan - I officially hate typos...dammit.

Great work mate , the skulls are really well done , lots of nice little touches too. the cyber rat is just too cute !

Cool, very well painted as usual.
My highlights are the flashlight, skincolor, knee pads and shoes.
The part I don't like that much are the lenses of his goggles, they look unfinished, no reflection, no gathering light.
About his clothes I'm not sure yet, they look boring, but I know how hard it is to make black/grey interesting without utilizing super strong highlights (which I wouldn't like either). Have you considered some dirt to break up the monotony?
I still like how you abused the gk servoskull to pimp Phoebe. Can we get another angle on "her"?

Parchment looks much better now.

Tracker looks nice and moody

Loving the cyber-rat, and that candle looks great.

the flatness of the mutie trackers face is really freaky and eerie. top notch job.

neil101 - She is...you just want to give her a bath! Oh hang on that is what I want to do every time Abi invites our adopted cat Phoebe into the flat.

Baiyuan - I really do like and appreciate your critical feedback....it keeps me on my toes His trainers are modelled off some I saw in town earlier in the week. I know what you mean about the eye lenses, I'll give them another go. The reason I added the two purity seals was not only to help him fit in but also to break up the monotony of the black/grey. The clothes should get a bit of weathering I guess. While I wanted the other two to be pristine I think Eustis wouldn't mind getting himself dirty.

monkeytroll - Glad you noticed the candles. I imagine that they have reverted to candle because the glow globe they are resting on no longer works and no one remembers how to fix it

Imperial Monkey - Cheers....I think we can thank Mark Bedford for the wonderful face.

DDD: ... that was me having a heat attack seeing my favorite mini (ever) being painted so nicely... i wish to ask his hand in marriage because i .. love .. him...

RW - turns out Monodominants don't have a problem with man love...but you do need to be married before you get any.

Lovely models PDH. Are those flagellantsarms the Mutie has?

PDH, those guys turned out awesome. The mutie killer is probably my favorite. He reminds me of Kabal from Mortal Kombat, in a good way. And the Crusader looks top notch too!

Q0rbin - Yes they are flagellant arms...originally both were holding flaming torches.

Moltar - I had to look up Kabel (having not played it since the original game came out) and jeez he looks very similar.....which is cool. Thanks

You wouldn't want him on your trail down a dark alley.....
