You sir are a ohenominal painter. I hope to one day come to your level of skill.

C'est un plaisir de lire un peu de français ici Archroy. ^^
Hope you enjoyed your time in France.


And it's a real pleasure to read at all your kind comments. Makes me feel like the hours spent on my desk were not vain. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm happy that I am now able to paint full painted armies.
@ TheNewMexicanGeneral : keep painting, skills will come with practice. I mean, my first minis were awful. Really.

These are the photos of the OOP Whirlwind I showed in WIP last time. Click on the image to get more views !



Same with the rhino (click on the image too) :



Cheers !

Nice! J'ai pensé que ce serait un bon temps pour pratiquer mon français.

Beautiful models.

Awesome stuff, keep up the good work

great work on that rhino, as expected

but *gasp* whats THAT?! You left some mould lines on the ram! tzk tzk tzk....

just kidding, looks great anyway

@ All : thanks. Be sure that I'll keep painting, I have so much minis that need colors to be put on them. ^^

@ MrMerlin : yeah, you're right. Molding lines are my nightmare. In fact, I re-paint my old armies, so when I work on a miniature I start by cleaning those lines, but I always forget some and realize it as they appear during the painting process. >__< ^^


Beside my 40k armies, I'm also working on my Dark Elves. The idea with this army is to paint it fast, using only simple technics and with a strong color scheme.
I spend a bit more time on the characters, but troops are made without any complicated effect to save time. ^^



I need to paint a banner to finish them.

I don't normally like Ultramarines much, but yours look fantastic. You've done a great job with the black reach models, too.

I've read this so many times... Ha ha.

It's a good thing that several people that usually dislike Ultramarines appreciate mine. ^^

Tres bien! You have a really clean paint style that I also tend to gravitate towards.

holy crud

Merci MiscDebris ! I've had a look at your gallery and indeed you have a painting style that I appreciate.

And thank you Tpiddy.


I have some more detailed views of the sorceress you can see in the photo above.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I like the looks of your Ultras, and the pre-Heresy Emperor's Children figure, too.

I'm not sure about how this post should be interpreted. ^_^


Beside W40k, I love Mordheim and I have started to paint a skaven team :

hey minus, why dont you do a P&M blog? Im damn sure people would love it!

big fan of the gretchen and the female Commissar! Even if I am not able to relate to some of the models (I have sofar only done 40K) I can hardly fault you epic painting skills!

MrMerlin wrote:hey minus, why dont you do a P&M blog? Im damn sure people would love it!

Agreed!This thread should be moved to this section.

I really love such details as the flagellant head

Really nice stuuf.

Hmmm. Why not moving this to the P&M blog section. So I can upload WIP photos and so on. ^_^
Can anyone tell me who I can contact for this ?

Anyway, feel free to give your opinion about my painting. Comments and criticism are appreciated (and congrats and nice words too :-p ).
So thanks to everybody who commented 'til now.

The rats are very well done... maybe ill get some myself, your work is insiring!

You cans ask any Mod (MajorTom11 and Insaniak for example) or use the mod alert in the right corner of a post, asking for a section modification.

Generally the P&M blogs section is more regularly followed, it's a great place to get feedback and share ideas and techniques.

Thanks. I'll PM them to move my topic.


Oh, and while I'm there this is the latest vehicle that I painted. Just finished it yesterday. This is the first of my 3 Land speeders.

Nice weathering on the hull.

Did you make the base yourself? And if yes, what did you use, pine bark?

Hi.
I love doing the weathering. It's the funniest part of vehicles painting IMHO.

The base is a resin base from Warforge (here and there). They have some really nice base ranges. I chose these ones as they fitted perfectly with my own classic bases (you know, sand with dry-brush and some washes).
I used their bases on my terminators too. Thanks to this I have re-based more than 20 minis in a single evening (all included, from the removal of the old bases to the end). If I had made those bases by myself (with pine bark) it would have taken much more time.

They also have other ranges that I really like. The alien ones are perfect for tyranids for exemple. And I plan to get some industrial ones because they work well beside the ones I have.

Hi all.
Just a word to say that this topic was moved here from the Showcase section. Thanks to the mod.

Now that my topic has been moved to P&M blogs, I'll post WIPs and so on. Feel free to comment, criticize, give advice. Say when you like. Say when you don't. Comments help me to get better and keep up the motivation.

If you're interested in WIPs of minis that are shown in the previous pages you can ask. I'll post them if I have the pictures.

YAY! Ill keep following!

edit

and i agree that weathering is the best part of painting!

Great work, keep it up!

Thanks.

Some WIP, with the latest ork I am currently painting. I have to dip it and to paint the resin base to finish it.

Wow, I love your work, keep it up!
