I'm working on Khorne Berserkers for this month's painting contest.

I can't stand doing batch painting, so I'm painting them in pairs. The icon bearer and the champion are the first two.
Here's the icon bearer so far.

Progress on the Berserkers continues:

Berserker Champion is just about finished:

This is late, but your Hive Tyrant looks awesome! Really like the Zaku diorama in the first post, too.

Thanks! I agree, the Hive Tyrant was one of my best works.

Champion is looking good. How are you finding the new kit? I know that I have done some conversions on mine, but I am finding them an absolute joy to paint.

Thanks! The Berserkers are great. I love the detail and the action poses.

"I can't stand doing batch painting, so I'm painting them in pairs..."

best way to get consistant higher quality results without either loosing the will to live or running out of time/patience witht the whole thing... this, or singly, is the only way I paint minis these days.

blindin' stuff in here mate, keep it up...

My entry for this month's painting contest. My only regret was procrastinating and not having enough time to paint blood effects on the blades.

Whats your scheme for the red? looks great and have some Khorne daemons that could do with a similar treatment.

also, you planning on adding in the blood later or are these the rare "pre battle" Berserkers.
great stuff keep it up

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I used Baal Red contrast over the top of Grey Seer base paint. I then shaded with Berserker Blood Shade and did edge highlights with Evil Sunz Scarlet and Wildrider Red.

I also do plan on adding in the blood later. Khorne units need blood.

Good looking bunch of Berserkers, ready to bathe in the blood of their victims

Thanks for the compliments. I'm pretty excited for my next project for the monthly painting contest, the Avatar of Khaine.

I just finished the lava cracks in the Avatar of Khaine's skin.

I was pretty intimidated about doing this effect since it's not something I've done before, but I think it turned out alright. I just need to highlight the edges of cracks now.

The lava looks to have turned out well, good luck highlighting the edges!

My entries for this month's painting contest. I was a little sloppy on some parts of the Champion, but it turned out alright overall, but I'm really happy with how the Little Drummer Boy turned out.

Saurus Champion:




The Little Drummer Boy:

Looks good! Drumhead reads well as leather.

Lots of nice work there ShadowsAndDust.

Cheers,

Something I started working on a couple days ago: The Full Armor Gundam from Gundam the Origin

I got some decals on this bad boy. It was a nerve-wracking experience because most of them are teeny tiny and difficult to get on the correct way. I messed up on some of them, but I still think it looks pretty good.

I've finished painting the arms.

Decals will go on tonight. It won't be as nerve wracking as there aren't as many on the arms as there were on the torso.

I have the base Gundam all painted and decaled. All that's left is the Full Armor parts.

I finished the Full Armor Gundam a couple weeks ago, but haven't had the chance to take photos until now.

Nice work on the Gundam! The weathering/detailing on the panels looks great. Poseable minis is something else!

Zerkers looking beastly together as a unit, and can't wait to see how the Avatar turns out.

The hobby ADHD in me recognises the hobby ADHD in you...

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for commenting! My goal for this year is to overcome my hobby ADHD and finish more models.

The thing I like about Gundam kits is that they're all different colors, even mobile suits that are part of the same faction. Painting a box of Space Marines can get boring for me since their all the same colors.

I'm also getting back into doing youtube. Hopefully I'll become popular enough that I can monetize my channel in the future.

I'm not skipping leg day. I'm finally making good progress on Bandai's Real Grade Z'Gok model.

After two weeks of slow progress (only finishing the legs and feet), I made a ton of progress, finishing the torso in just one day.

The legs aren't actually supposed to go there, I just thought it would be funny. Tomorrow is crotch day.

I originally planned on using Tamiya Gloss Clear Red for the mono-eye, but it was taking too long to dry, so I just stripped it and used Citadel Blood Letter, the old discontinued glaze paint, which worked like a charm.

More Z'Gok progress. Crotch day was a success!
