ok after that rather boring drone, somthing more intersting
decided to go all NMM on my Deathwatch, those metal colors just didn't work for me..

Great green stuffing. How did you learn to be that good.

Thanks^^
Hm, I'm more or less just trying arround.
If I don't like somthing I just start again, and so on and so forth...


Ok, finshed the Ultramarine.

But I have to admit that it kinda showed me mostly what i still can't do...
Blending that white helmet was really a pain in the ass, has someone a good thechnique to thin paints so that they don't dry so damn fast when thin layerd???
Also will redo the mud sometime, somehow, I'm just not happy with it.

Shoulderpads will follow soon, the Instand Mold just arrived last weekend!





On a side note: damn those macro lenses are unforgiving... after I took the first 2 pictures I repainted the half model just because it just looked so crappy on the photo.. XD

That looks brilliant, the subtle use of nmm is pure genius and the blending of colours is stunning. Keep up the good work!

It's a Space Wolf chainsword from the Space Wolves Pack. Pretty sweet, huh.

some solid greenstuff work you have here nice job

It's indeed a spacewolf chainsword.
Those sprues are really great, even if you don't play spacewolfs.^^

Now for some new stuff.

First some painting on the Imperial Fist (and the other guys as well)


And some greenstuff on the Minotaurus, note that the bionic leg will replaced by a more "noble" looking version.

Looks amazing! Cant wait to see more!

You gotta have balls of steel to be a Minotaur

Battlefield 3 kept me away from warhammer...
But I finally finisheed my sergeant (at least I call him done now, might change really small things later but probably not.. )
Got some prgress on other stuff as well, but yea, you will see them when they are finished. *terminator armor, cough*

HOLY GREENSTUFF BATMAN

You sir have the most phenomenal Green Stuff Skills I have seen for ages! There are so many little bits companies out there that it hardly seems worth going to all that trouble to make them yourslelf, seeing these though makes me want to grab my small tub of lumpy hairy GS and get sculptin!

That marine blows my mind when I think about the effort that went into it, it's just incredible really well done.

Seconded santobell

All I can say is whistle, whistle. Beautiful work!

wow...just wow...beautiful model, can't wait to see it painted!

Thank you very much everyone! : )
Great to hear that you like it.
Hope I will be able to paint them after christmas.

So, it's been a while since I painted something, but just before christmas it struck me again.
There for, without further ado... Imperial Fist!





(no not all helmets will have color, but those where just to awesome to not paint them colorfull^^)

i love it! you only have a small part of yellow! he looks like the elite badass of the fists

Thanks : )
glad it worked out as intended.^^

Today I want to present you a very special miniature:



No, it's not a Space Marine, but equally buitifull, so I thought I'd share it.


But so that we have a little bit of 40k in here as well:



an updated view of my Bitsbox, there is quite a lot going on in there.
damn I need more time to assable them... ><

More like a project box than a bitz box. I guess you have others for your bitz...
btw what species is that?

Very cool sculpts. Also looks like a nid made it's way onto the blog.

@Baiyuan: Well, I got lots of boxes^^
but yea, project box is probably more fitting

they're called Peruphasma schultei, I know them as Samtschrecken.

@l33tninj4: Thanks : )
hehe, yea
actually there are some nids in this thread, but the others are all dead... >.<

this may be a stupid question but is it alive? I can't tell fom the picture...

Fantastic work here IPS! Consider me subscribed.

Amazing stuff, really really like your work.

Hey, a happy new year to all of you!

@Imperial Monkey
It is alive^^ and they eat a lot... ><

@Gitsplitta
Thank you very much : )

@Eeps
Thanks!

Now for something new.
There is lot's of stuf going on on my table right now^^
But since I don't want to assable the other marines just for a photo, you have to wait.

Anyway, Black Templar!



Still have to decide what head to give him...
Had a Space Wolf head with a beard on him, but that just was not grim enough.
So I think I'll go with some medieval cap.

Also, because I generally dislike those 0815 Space Marine heads, and 90% of Space Wolf heads have beards,
I decided that to model my own heads from now on.

So here it is, my second attempt on a head.^^
The first one looked ok, but kinda was put to shame by that one



Allready tweaked the ear a bit, so it does not look as crippled any more.
And just in case you need some size relation,
the giat pole he is mounted on is a 1mm wire and the base underneath is some cork...

cnc as allways welcome

That's a great head IPS... lantern jaw, Carl Maulden nose, prominent brow ridges... full of character!

Excellent sculpting! For a second attempt, I'd say you're in the 99th percentile, IPS!

I'm not sure what I think about his pack. Can we see some more pics?

Keep up the great work!
Rawson

I like the gear that is adorning him!
