Big update because I finally got off my lazy arse and took some pics of everything I've done over the past month.

Oi, it's a bunch, plus some new pics of old stuff.

Firstly, painted up that unreleased Hive Helmawr Ganger.



Then, so epic stuff, Warlord titan and more orks.



And a combat squad of my white marines.


And some retakes, that blue background sucked.

Nice!

Liking the ganger, pretty sweet model too.

Nurgle-rheen looks good, interesting use of black for the body, makes the green and red pop that bit more

White marines are still nice and crisp, last squad is very cool - I love those first marines, need to come up with a good use for the few I have kicking around sometime.

Today's progress.

half my Van Saars.


Rogue Trader era Servitor

Every time I check this thread it takes me back. The combination of your photography skills and amazing paintjobs makes browsing this thread like reading through 1990's era WD. Fantastic job on everything you've done here.

Woah 92... your thread brings back such wonderful memories. Fantastic work! Please keep it coming!

Couldn't agree more!

I got into the whole GW miniatures game scene with the release of 2nd edition - and a lot of these models were still around and in heavy use then.

Lots of good memories in this thread - more please...

Of course it helps that your painting is really quite nice too!

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Yea, I came into 40K at the tail end of 2nd edition, but it made a big impression on me and I've gone back and collected the lot.

More are on their way, more Van Saars and some Ad Mech...

And then, who knows what I'll pull down and paint. Suggestions?

Ad Mech goodies.

Where the hell have I been?

5 Van Saars done.

Not sure. Maybe the same place I was. Just got back, and again staggered by the faithful reproductions you create. This thread is epic and deserves more attention.

Any teasers on what might be coming next?

Khorne Berserker Test model. I'm pretty happy with it.

Sweet work... very old school. Bright colors, lots of contrast... nicely done.

Finished up the last of the Van Saars.



And got assembling some random stuff.

Grey Knight Terminators



And more Inquisitors than I'll ever need.

Wow - I consider myself (sorry make that considered myself) to be one of the most prolific collector of old minis on dakka but I have never even seen one or two of these, especially those necromunda types earlier (unreleased?). Looking forward to seeing you paint them - I don't think I have any of those inquisitors (got 4 other ones instead) and they are so hard to get hold of at reasonable price.

You are a fine painter also - Its good to see them looking their best.
please come to my blog sometime.

Thanks Weety. I have been following your work for a while and as you paint stuff up I get the itch to pull out the same figs I have and paint them, but I have such a queue built up that they have to wait.

At this point I think I have nearly the complete range of 40K and Necromunda figs from 1988-97, including a bunch of unreleased stuff.

One of the rarest I have is this Mark Bedford sculpted, unreleased Ogryn.

I am loving all the old miniatures .

Putting more old, rare stuff together.

Unreleased Hive Helmawr Gangers


A mess of adventurers and a random guardsman


Squat Miner, Tarantula with crewman, Slaanesh champion

Below you see; Cyborgs, downed Pilots, 2 Marauder Tech Gangers, a psyker, the astropath from Talisman, and everyone's favorite Commissar.

So... how exactly does one obtain "unreleased" miniatures??

They pop up on ebay now and then.

basically, this happens,

LOL!


Nice job on the Van Sars by-the-way... really sharp!

Stormtroopers.

I have enough to choose between 2 melta or 2 plasma guns.

OOOOOOO, look what showed up last night.

Ooooooo! That shelf looks nice! Is that going to be a general mini storage area? Or just for painted ones? Very nice either way.

Just for painted stuff, unpainted figs get to live in foam.

If anyone is interested, I got it from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290714114443?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Whew! Spendy but it looks like it's worth it!

And now for something completely different.

New Imperial Fists. I'm painting up an army of these a fast as possible, so quick and dirty for them.

5 more Tac marines and the banner bearer. Banner comes from the 25th Anniversary model, it's one of the poor casts I received and then got replaced.

Beautiful work 92. You own yellow!

And a thunderfire.

Nice.

5 more.
