Ok NF09 here is a small update for ya! Been a bit busy lately and forgot to post this update on Asteroth.
Took a bit of time on the shade and went with a mix of Paynes gray and Baddab black mix. And since this is a death mask I kinda went with the porcelin ( I think that is spelled correct ) /marble look on his helm.
I still got some blending and highlights on him.
Enjoy

That's pretty sick man! You know I have to say that old school Citadel pot you let me use feels really comfortable in my hand when I paint. I miss those old pots...

Nice so far.

you gotta nice look on the skin and armor

Dude, love the grim! his face is really nicely done and the armour is looking good so far, are you going to paint it like muscle or like actual lacquered ceramite? because whatever you do will be perfect i'm sure! i've seen your educating of Fasteddie and he's progressing fast! I may have ranted on his thread and now live in fear you may throw a compressor at me! :-)

Now why would I throw my compress.......hey you will run with it once I throw it at you sneaky sneaky! I know what your up to now...Nerfest gets a new compressor .
All fun aside yea trying to work the muscle look since GW did a nice sculpt I might as well show it. As for Eddie yea he is learning but the speed is what I want to work on him about

I will update this thread when he is 100% completed so stay tune.
So here is a sneak peak of whats done.

HAZZER

Thanks HAZ. How is it going with all that new knowledge you gain?

what i like about it is that it dosent look like squigles like others do it with a brush, it looks like bleeding pen ink

@RW yea thats true bit also dont want it too look like a fresh scripted scroll where the letters are jet black and bold. But sometimes you gotta do it to pull your eye to it also even though its out of scale

Well my Dakka followers I updated my blog site please take a look and comment and thanks for the support everyone!! (click the www button below)

@ grey

Not bad not too bad my friend reallly apreasheated the help too! Wanting to try some of the tequniques out soon on my guys whenever I get the chance!

HAZZER

I finally completed Astorath and I hope you like my take on him. As some of you know there was alot of faults in this "Finecast" (more like Failcast) and had to fill alot of bubbles and fill areas where the mold was not complete.

I am not a great green stuff sculptor but did a decent job to fix those problem areas.
I had to use Secret Weapon bag of skulls to balance this model since he was back heavy and I did not want the model falling back. The base turned out great with the skulls and static grass.

I have plans on selling him and if any takers let me know.

Well nuff yapping, here he goes.
Let me know what you guys think.

he looks great, although i think there should be some highlights on his black wings

HAPPY NEW YEAR DAKKA FRIENDS!!! Hope you all had a great holiday season and got all your hobby wishes from Santa!!

Sorry for not posting in a while bit like most of you I was very busy with work and holiday chores .
Well here is my first model for the new year. I did a another speed painting for my nephew's Blood Angels army, his dad got him a Razorback. So as good uncles Fasteddiexx1 and myself decided to finish it up.

I recruited fasteddie and his fasteddieforge to build it (I hate building) and I did all the painting.
Eddie completed it in less then two days and I painted it in 6 hours. Allowing it to dry between colors and other house duties it was completed.
It is tabletop quality and could have more details but looks good and will match his army.
Ok nuff jabbering here you guys go!!

looks sweet, nice highlights and the OsL isnt overdone

Looks good. Nice job hooking him up with the extra turret too.

RW thanks and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Eggroll yea Eddie has tons of bits and really hooked our nephew up on his first tank. BTW did a shout out to you on my blog regarding this build and I wanna thank you for the inspiration for your technique/style which is now my base on painting BA's in the future. So thank you brother!

Happy new year man! That rhino looks good man!Btw where have you been from my blog? LOL!

Excellent stuff as usual GD1 i'd be stoked to have a tank painted by you! and asembled of course by sloweddiexx1 ;-)
are you going to paint the ram metal or weather it? or is it going to stay red? or am i going mad?

what's next on your bench? any more DA goodness? any more failcast?

Oh, and of course! HAPPY NEW YEAR! :-)

NF09

Your tabletop quality puts mine to shame.

Lovely work as always GDO. OSL on the rzrback is ace as is the jetburner on ole grim. Personal preference is that the wings are a touch flat but that's probably just the photo.

As has been said before your 'speed-painting' is very good, in fact I vote you're not aloud to call it that anymore, its too upsetting to the less gifted/lazier members of Dakka aka Me.

HAZZER wrote:Happy new year man! That rhino looks good man!Btw where have you been from my blog? LOL!

Happy New Year to you brother! Sorry been a bit lazy and busy to be on the web But I promise to make my rounds to my favorite blogs *cough erHazzers blog cough* .

Happy New Year too you my brother from down under!! Well as for weathering I had no time it was a quick paint job before my nephew had to go home back north with his mom and step dad. Hell she came down a few hours early and cut into our small game of 575pts. As for whats on my table I still have to finish my RW and they look pretty hostile since I been ignoring due to my Grey Knights and small projects. So stay tune.

Is it an over-powered codex do you think, or just a turn of bad luck in the game? Also was checking around for the old card terrain from second Ed. today and ran across the old Storm of Vengeance expansion campaign with Belial as head of the 3rd company. In the back of the book are a few campaign badges that you should check out for inspiration.
