Thanks

Alright some more Progress! hopefully on Pg. 4 soon, page is getting long!
Khay! got some Space Wolves! love these things and i even got some awesome bases going that were super cheap, got about 50-100 more for 4 bucks!!
So i've been painting them, but takes a while making sure it all looks good and neat, but just looks so awesome to me for what i put in.
Got some swap marine Progress to show and worked on the dark eldar a bit!

Not the Most competetive configuration, but i like it!!! got an ungoldy amount of mold lines, and i almost destroyed a heavy bolter barrel, but i had chaos HB barrel to replace it!, and tell me what you think of the flower pot bases Also the thing the Sergeant holding will be a target!!! joke had to be some time!


Some Grey Hunter Progress!


The WIP Dark eldar, you can see some of the white going, but mostly got the green idea done

And the WIP Nova Marine!


Thanks for reading and any critiques and questions or just encouraging comments are just Great! hopefully more progress soon!

Alright First up is show of some of the Finished to Heavily WIP SW's, just thought they needed a group shot for now!

Here are some pics of my WIP Rune priest, he's getting close


And here Is some pics of the WIP Long Fangs!



And here's what i used on the new bases!


Thanks for Reading! Please comment and Critique, And please tell me what you think of the new Bases!!!! really want to know how they look!

Great work! What is it in the jar? Tile pieces? Rocks?

djphranq wrote:Great work! What is it in the jar? Tile pieces? Rocks?

Was a 5 dollar ceramic planting pot from Home depot, and then smashed it with a hammer till i got all the pieces small enough to fit on the bases, i saw the idea somewhere and i thought i had to try it, might have to re base my wolfs since theres a height difference

Well heres some small Progress!
For hitting the 6000 view mark! small for some of the bigger p and m blogs, but for what i first imagined this to be im suprised and only see it getting more, soon the 100 comment mark, may have to do something special for that!
But for now i finished the pack leader, what do you think?
And who likes the Joke of the target, just gives him so much character to me! shame he dies first!



Thanks for looking and reading! Please tell me how you think the new basing idea came out and how the NMM Gold looks! both are new to me, but i liike them, but do you?

Tremendous efforts as always, and grats on the big 6-0-0-0! One thing about the NMM, maybe blend the edge transition of the white and "gold" a little, just to make it a little smoother? You're a braver man than I, though!

I try but i use iyanden darksun and it just doesnt build up as well as much as i'd like, but i might have gone a bit white happy i wanted to use gold, but the gold i got from GW was so watered down that i was like a wash, but dried like paint, making it pretty much unusable and horrible looking, so i decided to go to NMM with surprising success, and thanks for the Warming and encouraging comments from you and everyone, probably would have stopped posting long ago without it

Not a painting comment, but you dont wanna take out Long Fang Sgts first, they give you the ability to split fire, without him you dont have it.

Yes i think the joke i was going for might have been better on a squad with 5 missile launchers that are not as devastated when they cant split their fire anymore! But i built my squad a bit more diverse since they are much better looking and just 5 missile launchers really are not that fun to me, even though they might be cost effective ( been reading on the Space wolves blog spot to much)

Looking great as always! Marine in the post for you pal! Sorry it's taken so long!

Alright, been 10 days buy it's high time for some Progress!!
Well Nial your guy arrived today and he looks awesome
Other news is that every time that i get a lot done i have to take a few day break, but im starting to get into the painting spirit again
So i got a grey hunter done, and almost finished a second, but not yet, need to finish the last 2 steps in the NMM Gold
And i got some work on the Long Fangs and a swap marine i got done, Also does anyone want or interested in a step by step of a Space wolf GW with the Melta? cause i could do that
Here is the Finished Grey Hunter, kinda screwed up on so of the Gold on the back, but besides that im pretty happy with it


3 Finished Space Wolves models i got

Also some pics of the finished Swap marine i did, its a nova marine!



2 heavy WIP Long Fangs i got going

Also Heavy WIP Wolf Guard Leader for the Pack, was the guy with 4 beard things and sword, but i didn't like him like that

Here is the Some progress on a Swap Marine, bad angle, but i shall be redeemed in the end


So Thanks for looking, please leave your thoughts and ideas of improvement, as i love to improve on my work, also tell me if you would want that tutorial

Hello all! Time for some more late night Progress!

Thanks for reading! and tips or comments on my work please let me know, and please come back with the next exciting update of Progress!

This is some really impressive painting. A quick question with the stripping and selling, are there any tips that you can give for selling models on? Because I'm planning on selling a whole bunch of lizzardmen, keep up the good work btw

Young_Logan

Hey,that's a nice marine!
Why did you paint a novamarine?Was it the trader who requested it?I really like the blood drops-gems
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for the comment, i sell all of my stuff on ebay since it's the most profitable and reliable thing i could get going, but really the thing you have to do is get something to together that looks good for the price, for citadel products i found that the newer the item the easier and more money you make, i got the Death company box and astroth right when the new blood angels codex hit and sold them for over retail, somehow . It's different every time and you just got to hope that someone see's it and is interested, i found unassembled models can go for around 70%, unpainted 50-60, and painted is a weird one, it can improve the value a lot if it's a great job, or kinda of decrease it since it's not great which is the majority of the auctions, and then theres the ones that have so much paint that they deform and add so much work they kill the value, so basically id try to get good pictures of them, take 2-3 pics since that gets people more interested, look at what is built, what condition, whats painted and how well, and how much people buying lizardmen what those units in their army, and come up with a price accordingly and try to get a percent, and if i doesn't go up the first time dont be sad, like i said your waiting for that one guy and it might take a while for him/her to see it, and maybe re list it 5 or 10 bucks less if you want to get rid of it, that's my 2 cents Good luck, and you can also try craigslist or find a friend (i've done both of those, but they always make less money for you in my experience)

Thanks, i did the Nova marine for a swap, i suggested it to him since i really wanted to paint one and he didn't mind at all

Hello all! Time for more Progress!
This week i need your humble opinion on a new space wolves scheme i just tried
Let me explain! i asked my friend what he thought of em, and he thought they were great but to light for his taste makes me think about it, then yesterday i saw the new BOLS batrep and i just loved the dark theme of the guy with the wolves, so i tried this out! Let me know which on you like more!
I finished him and started him today, enjoying the last 4 days of summer vacation before my senior year of high school woot!
If you like the new one i might re-do or sell these here when i finish em
Expect DE progress soon!
Other than that i did some pain token and SW progress! let me show it!
lHere he is! i like him a lot but im not sure, and sorry if the pics are a little blurry, had to ship lightbox (since it was a box) in the mail so im making a new one in the mean time





Here is some Pain token WIP shots, Let me know what you think of the Flesh


Wip Wolves that i did as well


Thanks for reading, please let me know what you think good or bad, as i love to improve and answer questions, more soon!

I think the lighter color scheme works better. it may have been the pic but the dark scheme seemed to hide more details.

Galorn wrote:I think the lighter color scheme works better. it may have been the pic but the dark scheme seemed to hide more details.

I find that the dark colors can help the gold become noticeable a since it is not fighting the grey's, anyways thanks for you opinion, im still making my decision


Also i had a quick update, got a dark eldar model finished, tell me what you think please! progress!






Thanks for reading, hopefully more updates soon as i am back in the painting swing for now it seems!

I'm loving the model on the right and scheme in general -

Hello All! Time for a Progress! update
Been a little over 2 weeks now, haven't don't anything ground shattering, mainly due to the start of school and my 4 advanced placement senior classes, but i have done something!
Right now i really want to do a small army in order to finally have a painted army, but due to me not having a job and new video games, my 40k budget is non existent, so im content to try to slowely paint some DE and test schemes in the mean time!
Got a really old and poorly painted Termie squad, took a long time to strip and pick out the paint, but i did and got a test model done! A nova marine! now this model was a challenge at the start. The way i do bone color and blue it doesn't look really good until the end and just looks awful for a while till the layers are built up again, but it's done
Also am still trying out that DE Scheme as im still wondering about it so i got a few test models, same with that one space wolf
Anyway here is the Nova marine, has free hand, NMM Gold and Grey metal and highlighting, probably a bit over table top, i dont know though Though im still not that happy on the free hand on the shoulder, tried 3 times and thats the best i go




Next two im doing

Some DE, redid the gun on the finished one and almost got the syrabite done, as well as 2 other WIP models



And that WIP Space Wolves, still stuck on the scheme


Anyway! Thanks for reading and viewing, please leave any comments or critiques! Hopefully more Soon!

your novamarines are so cool, i am thinking about making a tac squad of them. subscribed keep up all this cool stuff

I like your novamarine terminator,except the free-hand symbol...
It's a really hard one to pull out,I can testify this!
Keep going old man,
cheers,
Bob

I really like the bright colors of the D. Eldar, but i think the green blade should be a different color so that it clashes a bit with the bright colors, it would make it seem less excessive to me.

I like your choice of colours - for the most part - and everything is very well painted. However, I feel like I have to say that the Dark Eldar come across as a tad... christmas-y.

You are doing an excellent job though, keep up the good work!
