Doood! I like the banner!
The sword is sweet!

@m0rdian haha believe me, so am I! So am I. I've had alot of motivation to get work done recently and I usually end up painting 2-3 hours per day
@Capitan Thanks alot man, I was pleased aswell with how the sword came out. Do you guys think the NMM is okay?

Yea I think it is fine, its got nice highlights and everything

It's looking good man. Loving the dirty look to them.

Cheers lads! More soon!

Hey! Very pleased as I just finished the last paladin. Now I just have to wait to get another box and boost them up to 7 men
enjoy

Test

Okay lads, sorry about the test...tried to post this 3 times... ):<
anyway. Done alot of work on the GKSS, justicars heraldry matches the rhino hatch, i'm proud of the freehand, let me know what you all think!

LDP

That freehand looks great, but still.... *cough* MOULDLINES *cough*.

I agree, looking at your avatar, The mouldlines sorta ruin it

Ok!! OK!! From now on, all the new models I get, i'll TRY remove mold lines!!!!

Heh, also make sure you get the sprue connection points like the ones on the side vents of the backpacks.

Yeah I see those now I thought I got em all D:

LDP, you paint amazingly fast and at a very good level, so I will echo what the others are saying and emphasize the need for you to take a bit of time and get rid of the mold lines. I use a slightly dulled exacto blade #11. I know some people like to use the back of the blade as it is already dull. I keep large quantities of the blades in my drawer (including dull and broken ones that date back thousands of years to the second founding) for different modelling situations. Also the bolters need to be drilled. Your painting skills are great! Keep it up!

Nice GK's man! That terminator apothecary is siiiick. Keep up the good work.

@Radiation cheers for your wise and kind words mate, i'm going to try to get a drill for the barrels on sunday, and those mold lines from now on shall be no more on my models!

@Chris P Bacon thanks alot man PS your name rocks! (:

Woo! Huzzah! Reinforcements! I'll keep ya'll posted!

LDP

Wow your army is building up quick. You should post a shot of all the models you've painted up so far. Also another shot of a modeling knife (to remove the mold lines) and a hobby drill (to drill out your gun barrels) just so the rest of us don't have to keep nagging

Heheh, i'll get right to it ;D
I have a modelling knife but not a drill :\ but the barrels can be done after right?

I suppose, but you would have to touch up

Yes of course.

NOTE ON THE GK TERMINATOR REINFORCEMENTS:
My models came with NO BASES...Which annoyed me immensely, it took the termies about two weeks to come, and now I have to get bases for them too!
Ugh..

Contact gw. They are fantastic with that.

Nice stiff man!

Sorry, but it had to be sniggered at!

Hello, Lips Firstly, some very nice work on your Grey Knights, very nice indeed. The test pieces looked more golden than silver in your photos, so I was mildly bemused. I think it must have been the lighting though.

The latest freehand is very impressive, how did you keep things so neat? I need to get to work on my Chapter symbols so tips would be appreciated.

I think the reason you're getting hammered about the mouldlines is a strange one - your painting is top notch, thus the mouldlines are getting you a lot more grief than other, less capable painters. Does that makes sense?

For example, your Apothecary is fragging cool as cool. Unfortunately, his Thunder Hammer 'head' has some bad mould line abuse on the the tops. Therefore, you get flak for it. If I were to grade your painting right now it would be 8 out of 10, but if you took the time to remove the mould lines from everything we are talking at least 9 out of 10. I use needle files and a sharp scalpel blade for my mouldlines, and admittedly it takes a while to get them done but the finished result is much more satisfying.

You are doing great work and you are being a gentleman as always - I'm sure this force will continue to improve with the feedback you are getting.

P.S. I would like a tutorial on those power swords too

Right, cheers for the feeback matey!
I've tried getting rid of the mold lines on my most recent GKSS who are now PRIMED (I did OKAYYY, probably could be a little better, but i'm making progress). When I freehand I just use as small a brush I can find, HOLD MY BREATH, and paint away. Yes! That's my secret, I hold my breath when I paint small stuff. I'll do a PW tutorial soon too ;P
