Haahahaaaaa -nice!!!!! Cheers I_F

Congrats mate - and great work on the Departed Termie! The oxidised-rust-dust really adds to the effect really nicely.

Cheers Az. Still so chuffed over the comp and really happy it was 'The Nurse' that placed. Lovely prizes incoming

I think that dead termie is the quickest of those lot that I've done so far. Only 6 hours o.O lol. Watching live painting streams get sme in the mood nicely though my neck is busted by the end of it. The dust n rust on the base and his legs is just FW weathering powders brushed on in layers gently adn then blown off. Like the look of it

Congrats on your "Nurse" taking 2nd there Jan! Nice job! Loving the very much deceased Termie too.

Thx AoV

Got this Second Chancer finally rebuilt and some extras added. Ready for the priming

Awesome! Will he be Deathwatchy, or attached to your AdMech (or a bridge between the two)?

Oh he's not for me or my armies. No, this is one of Buttery's rescues. She did all the paintstripping and cleaned him up and I've rebuilt and will paint him up. He and many others will then be used to raise money for charity. Full thread is here - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/695783.page
Buttery did an awesome job getting him all cleaned up. If you saw the state he was in before - like someone cut all the admech symbols off and then dipped him multiple times in some sort of battleship emulsion paint!!

Some brilliant work here Jan, hoping my DW hold up to anywhere near as good as your's

Thx TP. Those DW are a lot of fun to paint

Chookahamnida on placing Jan :-) (although the link is broken). Are you 5 termies away from finishing all of Space Hulk!?

Cheers Bottle - was and still am uber chuffed. Strange about the link, seems to be working fine on my phone.
Yup - 5 more SH termeis and that'll be them finally done. Set a them last night and got their original weird stand/bases cut off and sanded down so I can base them probably on resin bases. Still have a lot of 'stealers to get through though :/

Hope you had a great trip to beautiful Venice with Mrs Bottle. Me and Mrs Jan were there last summer. Just love that place so much.

Thanks, we had an amazing time! Did you go to Burano by any chance? It must be something Korean guide books particualry recommend because the wife suggested it and lo and behold when we arrived there were more Korean people there than islanders! (The island was beautiful though.)

It must feel so good to almost have Space Hulk finished. Will you start work with the genestealers next? You'll be able to play a game - fully painted! Space Hulk is probably the sort of game you can get a non-wargaming buddy to give a try too.

Aye - Burano is pretty sweet. I've been to Venice 5 or 6 times now. Wonderful city. My real favourite is Bologna. Fantastic food and much fewer tourists there as well.

Should be getting a game of Space Hulk up and running soon. Lookng forward to seeing all the boys n bugs out on the table. For now however - I finally got the camera out and got some proper photos done of what I've finihsed recently. Have a look, hope y'like

Awesome stuff, and I love how those pics are put together!

Cheers Para. Thought I'd add a little colour and interest to the collages. bit of fun with Photoscape

They are some beautiful miniatures. The dead terminator came out really well when photographed the "proper" way. The Deathwatch are some of the best I've seen, definitely better than those posted on the Warhammer app over the last week or so. The collages do add even more to the presentation of these minis. You're maintaining your A game

awesome stuff Jan, Congrats on the comp result.

Amazing work Jan, you're knocking these models out of the park. I'm not normally a fan of the DW paint schemes but the way you do it makes them look amazing, you hit the grimdark feeling perfectly. Can't wait to see what you do next.

He's looking good, that model has some great details.

Stunning work Jan, the gems/blood drops on Delassio are my favourite...and how do you feel your first blonde went ?

Good work, Jan'. All looking nice.
Particularly liking the fire painting on the moulded fire.

Thanks so much much for all the kind complements folks. Really means a lot
@joerugby - cheers fella. Still on a high from that one!!
@I_F -next up is the DA Deathwatch guy. Should be a quicker paint. lol - who am I kidding I'll take ages as usual
@Thraxas - blonde came out ok. A little more yellowy than I'd intended but that was from the sepia as I needed to fade the highlights back down a bit. Not the easiest hair to paint so it doesnt look like its out of a cartoon!
@Dr.H - thx. I am particularly happy with the first. and it photographed nicely too. FIrst time painting fire so I just kinda winged it with lots of glazes and really liking how it came out

Bored painting 'stealers so gave into temptation and started on another dw fella going with a darker more aged looking surplice as I'm not a big fan of the really clean off white ones usually seen. Face came out ok.

No need to be so modest Jan, that face looks amazing, you did a great job. The rest is coming along nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing it all tied together.

Interesting take on the cloak colour.

Looking good Jan, robe colour is nice and the face is great as is the armour so far, a bit darker and dirtier looks good!

Thx Nerdy. Working on skin and faces these days. Getting there....slowly - lol.
