MY KINGDOM! MY KINGDOM FOR A JAWDROP SMILEY!!!


Sweet throne, words can hardly describe how impressed I am with that LR. You've taken classics of religious art, 40k-ified them, and stuck them on the side of a Land Raider. You sir, are a god among children. It's almost enough to make me weep.

Absolutely phenomenal.

Jesus F*CKIN CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!

i think that sums it up

lol

Beautiful stuff! I really wanna know how you do the skin tones on the images.

Just wanted to share some updates as I now only have 40 days to complete this project. I've started on the infantry and am about half way through the drop pods.











And on a side note I've been trying to get more Valks.... So I'm trying to breed them and hopefully the infantile battle fleet gothic ships will grow up to big strong valks...



Littleboyblues

Hate to tell you this, but it looks like your flgs sold you two male valks... So no babies on that front.

More on topic, fantastic looking marines! Please keep up the great work.

I cannot wait!

wow... you got my first 10/10 in gallery voting! and i have *a few* votes under my belt. great job!

Looking good,hope the Valk breeding goes well,haha.

So finally done With the Drop Pods! I painted for like 8 hours strait yesterday. Anywho, I only have 33 days left before my dead line. Any encouragement or yelling at me or calling me a lazy bast... (ect) would very much be appreciated. Sad to say that after this army I still want 4 more DP's just for apoc, planetstrike, campaigns or other story driven games. 36 troops and 2 dreads and half a land raider left. I'm pretty excited.





Littleboyblues

The faster you get done the faster we can work on =I=munda, terrain, planetstrike and apoc. So hurry up!

Fletch

That is epic!!!
Fantastic freehand work, it is truly phenomenal
Now you really need to do a Company/Chapter Banner, i'd love to see that

That's what she said!

Your free hand is immense and the marble effect is brill!

I haven't seen 40k minis as inspired as this since the pre-red days of GW.

I am now officially off back to the drawing board and sketching ideas until my hands are raw and bloody before I even think about painting a new project.

Awesome. Inspring. Superlatives fail me (and that's just for Capt Gordinos 'good penis' comment )

lol @ valks doing it doggy style.

Well, it's amazing. Not much more to say then that.

Aww man, these things make me cringe in a good way !

That paint work is just stunning, if you got to atournament i think you have your win in the bag, that paintng should get you a hand full of points P

Get a move on ya slacker...

I've finished my Infantry! *sigh of relief* However I left my camera at a friends house, so I'll be sure to go grab it after work and will post later tonight the infantry and better shots of my Drop Pods.

I thinking about expanding this blog to everything to do with my chapter. So after the tournament and tourny army you can look forward to my honor guard, chapter master (with rules set), Land Raider Terminus, and my take on a titan as I want to really flex my imagination.

@ brother Vespasian = I have a friend doing the conversions for my chapter banner. He's modeling it after the banner in the command squad picture of the marine codex. Which is EPICLY big and will give me plenty of room to do some neat things on. He's also doing my 9 other honor guard to go with the banner that I will probably post on this log even after I get this particular list done.

@ Chimera_Calvin = I'm glad I could inspire you to your drawing board. Send me a link when you start your project.

@ EzeKK = Semi funny story... I won those two Valks at an RTT like 2-3 months ago for 1st place prize. I took that picture cuz I need like 6 more and as a joke I wanted them to reproduce... So last Saterday I won 3rd place at an even larger RTT and got... 2 more valks... *mayber theres something to this valk reproduction process*

@ Wolf = I hope I'll do well in paint but last year there were some A-mazing armies there. So it is a very tough competition. (last year I showed up with the grey legion) So the fact that I'll get a paint score will tickle me pink.

@ Tauzor = you sound like some of my local friends. We're all being as..jerkholes to each other about painting so we all get done on time.


Now to finish my two Iron Clads, 1/2 a Land Raider, and 1/2 a Vulkan counts as! (oh yea a display board as well)

If a kick up the arse is what you need to get going .. as they say ... WERKZ FOR ME

Paint a titan
just wow
you sir have inspired me
did you jsut draw the outline with pencil or what?
did he say?

@ Battle Brother Loken = Thanks. Yes I drew it on with a pencil. There is a tutorial floating around somewhere on dakka that should help out with how to get freehand on junk... and such.

UPDATES!

So I'm back to it after not posting any progress for a while....

Pics!

First up my Infantry is now completed. I assembly lined the whole thing. A horrible experience but time line was a factor.












My Drop Pods!













This is my favorite marine by far. Dead Marine eternally dead. Frozen in time while taking a rending shot to the chest...



Rest in peace Dead Marine...

Rest in peace....
