Great models, You've got exceptional skills! subscribed.

I love the wood on your axe! Excellent stuff!

Great thread! All you need now is more cowbell

Your weathering is really impressive on that sentinel....do you happen to have a tutorial on it? It is one of the most realistic paint schemes ive seen in a long time. I really appreciate someone that paints the IG more like a real war torn army and less like some fraternity idiots at a costume party

good stuff. It inspires me to take even longer over my painting

omg this stuff is amazing. i love the priest he has that look "WHAT you mocking sigmar as well!!!!!!" well done man

Cool models, Really well painted.

All models are completely finished now with bases and labels


all 4 entries




"Battle of Minds"



++Sentinel 311 Preparing to Engage++


"warrior of Sigmar"


"Imperial Thunderbolt pilot"

and there we go

Awesome! Love your painting style.
Only thing I could critique on is that the SW is facing with the back to the front of the plinth, which is a shame when displayed in a cabinet.
But since we got blessed with hands not only to paint, but also to pick up things and rotate them I don't see it as a big problem

Question, what are those labels made of?

Battle of minds? I don't know about that, IMO I would have called it duel of phsykers, or clash of the warp, something with a bit more oomph! Not that it matters much, the paint job on all of the entry's is incredible. Good luck with the competition!

Not bad all around, all I can say is best of luck to you.

Dannis. that is the most important thing! what do the judges see? the backs of the models first so they have to be as good as the front. and the trick with a duel/diorama is to have it looking equally awesome from all angles!

Commander Cain: so would i, but i had about 30 seconds to think of something before i had to leave for the bus to get them made :/ though it is a painting not naming competition luckily so it shouldn't matter to much... hopefully

Thanks Empchild, i'll need it...

Outstanding work SoO, I'm very anxious to see what dividends all your hard work and creativity produce.

i dread to think... i'll know in about about 169 hours time...

Woah. Good luck, and may the force be with you.

EDIT: You have the power of my 1600th post beside you.

Why not do something like the powers manifesting like in one of the season 5 B5 show.

Good Luck SoO, looking forward to hearing the verdict.

Awesome minis!! Good luck to you!

(question : how did you make the small leaves on the "Battle of Mind" Diorama?)

great thread, and great work on those models....

jim

Yggdrasil. i didn't make them. you can buy them on various scale model sights but they're pretty expensive...

Dude, those are all well done, but my favorite is "Battle of Minds"

That's a cool grey knight conversion, and the farseer is well painted, but the factor about it I like best is you can't see both model's faces at the same time. It may seem like a minor thing, but I think it adds a lot to the idea of a 'Duel' and lets the veiwer really focus on one model at a time, and provides a natural contrast between the duelists.

Hopefully others will have as much praise for it (and more!) good luck!

Fantastic work, and you don't need luck, I predict at least 1/2 if not allbeing finalists and one will at least win a prize! Look forward to hearing, I wish I was going but real life has called me away from that chance...next year maybe! I would wish you luck but you'll do well, so hey, its not needed! Have fun.

Oh, and check out the UK deathwatch, A contribution from you would be well appreciated.

That is some great looking stuff again. Keep it coming dude!

Its too your credit that you've got your models finished to such an amazingly high standard with still plenty of time to spare! well done.

I hope you get at least finalists, and you get at most a trophy!

Good luck

Ultimate dude!

Battle of minds is a great name. Really serious and rich in thought potential.

Not a big fan on the thunderbolt pilot model for some reason but your paintings still great. He looks a bit like hugh laurie or whatever his name is! lol

The sentinels definately my favourite.

Good luck!

Sentinels definitely going to be up there, real nice weathering.

Probably finalist for the others. Good luck for the weekend.

Good luck for the weekend mate. Hope you do well.

Well in that case, he should win gold.

That's a cool grey knight conversion!

That's the normal librarian in terminator model...nothing close to grey knight.

me too good luck.
