Just survived the Boston Brawl tournament this weekend. Photos of most armies here:

Nice Stuff Mack. Very nice.

I've been working on a Chaos Obliterator that I was hoping to have ready for the Boston Brawl painting contest, but only finished it today. Here are some before & after shots:

That is beyond freakin' sweet!

I love the conversion on that baby!!

Painted this stormraven when they first came out, but am thinking of selling because I have two.

why is there a cobweb inside? Otherwise it looks really good! Althoguh the aquila below the pilot looks a little dull...maybe a small highlight would fix that...

why is there a cobweb inside?

ha ha ha- I noticed that when I put the pictures onto my computer- what can I say; I haven't cleaned my bathroom in 2 weeks either?!

You know you're going to start nurgle... (heh)

Mack - I really like your Obliterator! You really captured the essence there. Love your collections - your work ethic is impressive!

Some random projects I'm working on before the summer ends & two other big jobs begin:



I'm converting my IG army into an all Kasrkin / Veteran list. I have about 3 squads done plus these almost done. Heavy but cool looking. They will probably come out in Finecast just when I finish.

Then there's these Black Templars I'm painting for someone else.



And this for my high school games club:

I like where your IG army is headed Mack. Can you post a group photo of this army again with your new stuff? Ive always wanted to upgrade my IG army - this is just the motivation I need. I like your IG and Ork armies the best, mainly due to affiliation and personal preferences of armies. Reading your thread makes me regret getting rid of my first-ever 40k armiy, Space Wolves.

Progress on fortress:

This was just before I scrubbed off the layer of Tin Bitz in order to reveal the orangy color underneath.





Kaiser- here's my IG as of August 2011. I sold off my Cadians & Vendetta & like this army much more because I never really liked setting up all those platoons. It was just too much for me to keep straight & I never like having models I don't play with... weird I know, but I like to use every model in an army.



Now the IG feel more like an inquisitor's private army which is what they always were in my mind. I'm still hoping to sell off the heavy weapon squads. And maybe add in another Vendetta; I miss it already.

And some test Blood Angels for Artex:



The free hand on the top of this rhino is sick; I'm very happy with it.

That is some beautiful freehand. Gratz!

--B.

I should admit it was traced from a picture. That's as free as my free hand gets at this point. But I'm still proud of it.

Finished the Blood Angels rhino, but not before some disappointments. When I went to seal it, the sealer foamed up & left me with snowflakes all over the top of the model. I threw a small hissy fit, but whattadyagonna do??

Pre-foam:





Post foam:

prefoam I was very happy with how the top edges popped from the orange airbrushing, but post foam I just highlighted by brush. Not as happy with it, but I think I pushed my luck as far as its gonna go with this one.

The free hand work on the Rhino is just awesome. It makes me want to by another vehicle just to try some free hand. Your work is inspirational.

Status of a Blood Angel army I am painting for a friend. After reading the Codex, it really makes me want to begin a Death Company army!

Status of some terrain projects I am working on for the kids in my high school games club:











And for a client:

Hoping to put the finishing touches on this tonight & deliver to client tomorrow:





Used that fancy crackle paint on this part & love the way it turned out.

I absolutely love this. I'm thinking I might purloin this idea.... objections?

My laptop is dying on me so I will make this fast, really love everything you are doing! I love the scenery you are pumping out, makes me want to finish my own!

Back soon when I can find the charger

Help yourself- post photos so we can see!

There is really too much good stuff to quote from! I especially liked the multi-bastion for your school. It looks great, but is it really good as terrain? It looks HUGE!

Keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Rawson

Think I'm just about finished with this army for a friend, but still need to run it past him.











I did a little bit more after these photos like the aquilla on the front of the stormraven.

any more Pics of Progress?

I have not begun on your building panels yet; I've gone from client job to client job. The Fortress of Redemption was followed by the BAs above & now I need to paint a Dreadfleet set for another person. And I'm waiting on inspiration for the next terrain piece.

Now thats a proper Mech list! Thats going to be a holy terror on the table top - AND look good doing it! Awesome work Mack!

I meant in general not necessarily of the building panels I sent ya.

Oh woops- the BAs posted above are the latest, but I am presently building four other armies that I'll start painting soon. I'll also post Dreadfleet photos once I start on that project sometime soon.
