Nice work on the 'raider. Looks great.

Lots to look forward to.

Well thanks everyone I know it's a lot of projects to work on but they share common attributes so I can work on more than one part at a time that's the plan of attack, so if I'm washing with Agrax then I'll wash everything that needs Agrax and move on to the next part as you can see there's a lot of metal based my models so I will attack all the different washes

Sooooo much models!!!!!

You are possibly insane sir, too many projects to keep track of! Careful you don't burn out!

Projects like those would take me years, if not a life time!! love your stuff! It keeps me entertained at work.

Cheers!

Cheers boys! I'm pretty much at my limit without disappointing anyone I think! once I've knocked a few mini's out i'll be able to see what else people want doing :-)

As long as it gets done, take as long as you need. You're in no rush!

What has transpired since I was gone?! This stuff looks amazing, and I can't wait for more!

You've gotten tons done since I've been on hiatus, Damo. Great work on the Slaughterpriest, Sternguard and Land Raider, and some fantastic WIP on the Daemon and the pile of spoiler-hidden work.

Hey guys, a little update on some wip and I finished the model car for my mate

But FIRST!


I got THIS!




Then after I got that and assembled the models because, well, why wouldn't you! I got some more of the base colours on Whaley's Sallies, this time was the dark grey base for the pads and a wash of black ink.


and while I was washing things with black I added the rest of the bronze to the Grey Knights and washed them all too! coming up nice and dark and brutal even at this stage


and I did a teeny bit more on the DP skin, I'm wanting to keep it really light but still have the subtle colours show through so it looks gross and sickly!



and my mate's Model MiniTruck this was the first model car i've tried to actually paint and build like we do with our models and while it's not perfect it actually looks pretty damn close to how his ute looked! same colour, similar wheels, I had the paints to do the interior in the same grey/blue and the whole process has given me insight into what to do next time!

Truck looks brilliant, really nice finish on it.

Sally's are looking good.

Arena game looks cool. Going to look that up very soon.

Good progress all around. Did you use auto paint for the truck?

Some sweet-ass stuff here as usual!

Nice work. Truck looks great.

I usually don't give a monkey's about Grey Knights, but yours are coming along nicely nerdy!

Look forward to seeing where you go with the champions of Khorne! Have you played a game of Gorechosen yet?

Thanks guys! I haven't played Gorechosen yet since I have no friends but once I get some friends I'll hack them to death in the arena! haven't started painting the figures yet since I've got more than enough to finish at the moment but when I do they'll get some serious love and attention.

but today I can show you some progress on those projects I need to finish

Whaley's Salamander Terminators are nearly done, golds finished and now for blacks, lenses and flames then a nuln shade in parts and a final silver highlight and bingo!



And LittleH's Grey Knights from Biggie, they are looking good I think, I've done the base metals and blades and based all other colours and washed them so they're ready to go for the next step, only thing I'm not pleased with is when they were primed it was slightly heavier than I wanted in a couple models so I've lost some shallow detailing (nothing serious though) and now I've got to pull the magic brush out and make these look dark gritty and knightly which I think i'm doing so far I love the Siggy legs on the master with the pose it just works!





And for my mate down south in Hobart i've got Bretts Knights and Kastelan under way, I slightly tweaked the style for these two since the plates were glued on and I gotta say I'm actually liking the way they are turning out! imagine th candy red pops on the shoulders and face plates and boom! cool Knights








So there's today for you! I feel like i'm just reaching my stride with them all and progress should b faster now, once these lota re done I'm into RiTides Knight Astropos and friends and Gits' 30k Admch and normal Admech for his armies!

Ooh I quite like how those Salamanders are turning out . Thanks for the WIPs on all of it, so much progress!

Lots of progress all over the place! Are those more robots for Gits growing hoard of Mech? Knights are looking cool, will RiTides be a similar style?

Those Grey Knights are sweet! Mind sharing how you did the lightning on the sword, I'm assuming wet blending for the base colour and lines for the white?

Hey guys, quick update today, but yes there are certainly aspects of these knights that will lend themselves well to RiTides Atrapos Knight I was just practising and checking how I liked certain things since Brett was happy for me to do whatever with them both I think I'm set now for when I get to painting it, it will be epic, nearly as epic as Gits' Reaver when it arrives from the Titan Forge

The GK blades were a silver base washed with green ink, then a watered white electric squiggle then a wash then a squiggle then a wash then a squiggle make it whiter where the squiggle cross each other or at the base of the power weapon

Here's the update on the Knights.








a bit more detailing to do, lenses, highlights, scrolls, weapon glow and basing

Looking really great man! Loving the wips.

Those Knights are really eye catching!

EDC

Great good WIP stuff all around, Damo!~

Sweet.. Like the muted bronze trim.. all around good show.

Also looking forward to battling those salamanders at AC.

Lovely bit of weathering on the Melta cannon, and also thanks for the sword tips!

Your reds are fantastic Nerd. Really nice deep red.

Also re the Gorechosen models: I didn't fully appreciate just how massive the Slaughterpriest models are compared to an average human sized model lol. My brother put his together last night and it's a monster!

<3 <3 <3 <3


As always, stunning work, damo!! Your metals are luscious as always

Thanks guys, I am pretty pleases with the silver metals on the knights, they look and feel really cold and kind of have a finish like old iron sheeting, too many chips on the lower legs for my liking but I'll see what I do later with them. Usually after doing a big model I want to rest up from big models but these are making me WANT to paint the Knight Atropos soooo bad! I can tell it's going to look awesome!

Solar_Lion So you're the unfortunate sap who's going to get stomped by a bunch of Candy Green Sallies! the Termies are nearing completion now and then I'll do all the more elaborate or special type models before I take on the horde that is the troops!

Looking tits! Are you going to paint the herald shields too?

Been slowly sifting through your work. Takes a fair bit of time. But since I have been laid up sick almost all week it has certainly entertained me. Love the development of your painting style.

You are bloody prolific in your progress though. How do you stay on top of it all?

Wow! So much progress since i've been gone! Those IKs are lookin' pretty good. the weathering is excellent, and the red is simply beautiful!
