Wow that's some group you got there love the banners ... awesome !!! also like how you have added the huge jungle foliage as well

Cheers

omg 2 BEBOPS?!?!?!?!

Those are looking great!

Wow these look really good bebop once again good job.

I love the group so far, keep up the good work!

welll the new guy certainly wont bring me to say any brutal stuff^^ he looks very good... though with a masked face like that i couldn´t be brought even with a gun poining to me that he looks loveley^^ but i do like the refecltions on his helme(visor) and the conversion as such is wonderful! also the whole mini i really like and it prooves yet again that you fail at a painting that is suited for a horde army... you are a fully character painter and you will stay that way... for me it looks like you can´t gear down^^

well bebop it looks like you'll have to paint a grey knight army. you know low model count high quality painting. but Herr von Domm is right

aye!!! i always thought of myself as misunderstood in my living years... but alas it seems some know of my wisdoms^^

thanks fatty^^

I'll think happy thoughts for your medical issues, compadre. Hopefully, your doctor can help you out.

lol

cool! freehand is def one of your strengths kevin! id like to see you do more banners and stuff (:

thanks alot brian! I think that some lifestyle changes and finally taking action will really help. Because music is my bread and butter, and another art form i hold very dear, it takes precedence over mini painting. But in time ill be back to full strength and hopefully can continue to grow as a painter

Thanks for all the kind words friends about the current progress. To me, im not quite happy with the last guy, compositionally, hes kinda all over the place, but really, he'll be one of quite a large number so its not such a big deal. Especially with the iphone cam, everything is REALLY under the microscope! Fatty, you and antman should hang out! Hes been tellin me to do a grey knight army for the l;ast two weeks hehe! Also check out his work, hes quite an amazing painter and one of the guys at the local shop who inspires me to paint better and better.

And ant! I have a really cool idea for the banner for this regiment. Either some kind of jungle/hawaiian sunset that turns into a genestealer face in the sky with glowing eyes. Or perhaps some crop circle type icons...either way ill see what happens Depending on my strength, more or less updates coming soon.

thanks for the compliment! yea i totally second the iphone cam sentiments. its actually a really great tool to pick out subtle blending mistakes and the like...

oh no no! not saying that you should build a grey knights army...i was saying you should convert and build up your genestealer cult army and since that army doesnt exist you can use it to play as a grey knights army (or whatever other army you feel like playing). which would fit well imho since genestealers and nids have a lot of psychic stuff going on as well. youd just have to keep in mind which weapons and models from your genestealer cult army represents what grey knight stuff. just an idea

I myself was thinking of a dark emissary army. basically jut a grey knights army but with chaos models. why shouldn't the bad guy's have a special army?

genestealer cults are a part of imperial planets right? so most people use the IG codex.

I don't see a direkt connection with the grey knight unless you make a sort of count as ...whats the name of that hamer inquisitor dude... corteaz. so you have a hence men army. then you can give your genestealer cultist a monkey

My opinion a no no on the grey knights. maybe if you want something different from the rest.

chaos space marines..... then your brood lord can be a greater deamon (your cultist summon him size is off but fluff is on), the cultist as summond deamons, and some other cultist in power armour as your standard guys. or maybe the just normal marines as i believe one stage of evolution within the cult was normal people.

just my two cents like always Bebops

yea i was thinking a counts-as army...allows some interesting conversion options...

i imagine...having catachans as reg power armored GKs, and making mutated/nidified orgyns as termies, a hulking APC with gun platform as a counts as land raider rusted by years of exposure to jungle humidity...

im sure similar awesome ideas can be thought of from the chaos codex...and plus i think the cult dexs should be coming out soon?

my 2 cents on fatty's 2 cents

does that make it 4 cents?

Loving your purple skin and speckling effects. Looks very natural (or at least as natural as purple skin can be).

fatty wrote:does that make it 4 cents?

well if it would be 2 cents on 2 cents it would be 2-2 or 1-1 so i would say his 1 cents... possibly

hi guys happy thankgsgiving.!!! Thanks everyone for nice comments while i was gone! Ive a mini update today. Nothing crazy, but a very rough preliminary WIP of the beginnings of my secret santa mini. SO. If you are from aero hobbies. STOP NOW. and leave lol. Anyways, my first attempt at a mini of this species really. SO much touch up needs to be done. My techniques are a little rough from the break ive had from painting so the start is a little slow. Also, what didnt show up so clearly in photos is the transparent thigh belt. His saash and bandoleer willalso be painted clear. Anyways...just an update to let you knw im still alive. apologies for the not so great mini im displaying. But hopefully ill get it up to par. Hope you guys are good!

happy thanksgiing to ye too!^^

vik

damn, you've been gone so long i forgot how AMAZINGLY you paint, not really though i always knew

lovely bebop, just lovely!

hey all thanks for the kind words! Im lame for not having much more to say than that today lol! Still so much clean up to do, this mini looks better in person...but the iphone cam never lies. left foot needs alot of work, more glazes and the final sharp highlights will be added next.

well i have nothing more to say today then stunning. but that could be the concussion talking

Bebop! Your work is as always amazing! How do you get them so shiny?! I don't think my skills will ever match up to yours sir.

I'm still part of the AeroBoyz even though I'm far away now, I hate that I'm missing out on the white elephant gift event at Aero, having a model painted by the level of excellent talent at that shop would be epic.

Hope your Thanksgiving was great! Tell everyone at the shop I say Hi!

Hey everybody!!!! Gah im such a terrible blogger:( I apologize for my sudden drop in activity here, ive been focusing mainly on healing myself, and what not. Painting only when i can:( However i am making some progress on a model which im becoming increasingly happy with Ive attempted a somewhat successful transperency affect on his strappings, and a very novice first attempt at painting crystal swords. LOL, while it does look cool, i dont think its quite accurate. Ill have to fix it maybe...also, began very base basecoats on his face, which is a victim of a bit of details which are quite hard to see, so it tough. Anyways, this is my continued update to prince yriel. c and c definately appreciated. Hope all you guys are doing great!!!
bebop

right foot looks weird. Holly cows in India, Bebob your standard of painting is so high that this amazing piece doesn't impress me that much..... now i know what it must feel like to be a noise marine

Ohoho... I haven't looked here for some time and.. goood, veeery goood
And purple.. purple... did I said It's fantastic?

Thats some nice blending, cant wait to see more cult too!

Thanks guys!
@ Fatty...do you mean his actual right foot, or thte right foot in the pic? If you mean the latter, his left, i agree...i still haev yet to blend the deep shadow shading into the reflective highlight of the top of his foot. if you mean his actual right foot, what about it looks off? And for the rest of your comment..??...lol...do you like it or hate it i cant tel!l
@ Storag, thanks sir, i think you and i have a fondness for purple maybe.
@ Tortured, welcome sir and thanks Your blog is fantastic!! Such character ill post over there as well
