Nice work on the clowns. very characterful.

Hey guys sorry for the hiatus! I've done a bit of LoTR and finished off these Tau I'm actually really digging the scheme now seeing more than one model together. So here's some pics of another Riptide. a Broadside and a bunch of sweet sweet stealth suits.

hope you like

Very nice nerdfest09.

Cheers,

I was looking at the Cawdor models earlier today, wondering how to make them more visually interesting, rather than just dull with a contrast colour, and this is exactly what they need.

I love the really strong highlights on your Tau.

I am strong believer that everyone needs to find their own unique painting style, but you have so much of what I wish I could incorporate into mine.

Those killer clowns look absolutely brutal! Very original idea and well-executed. That’s how you make your mark!

Thise Cawdor Clowns are absolutely fantastic!!! Amazing work as ever fella

Love the Tau the somewhat muted tones really work make a scheme that could have ended up a little garish look fantastic.

So just finished panting these guys this week for a mate's army, I know they're everything I hate about 40k now but I do enjoy painting blue now

all amazing but those Elimintaors - that set of binocolours, those cloaks

Nerdfest is a cheater . He pays people to cos-play as space marines and then shrinks the picture down to look like a 28mm heroic figure. Don’t fall for it.

Ha! if I could shrink them, i'd shrink them more so they weren't Primaris * Bleeeugh....vomit*

But thanks guys, I wouldn't say they're that good, but they are certainly worthy of a update especially since I wanted to do them in a week and have them back to him :-) if you want i'll show you the next project.

In a week I hate you .

Oh and next project preview..... YES PLEASE!!!

Yep a week don't hate me, there's thousands better and faster than me!

Now this is what i'm working on, a bloke who may (or may not) have done something wrong i'm painting Magnus for the same guy I did Mortarion for so I want to do a pretty good job on him, originally I started by painting the front face of the wings with blues and painted the feathers like lightning on power swords but I couldn't get it how I was happy with it so I completely re painted them in yellows as I felt more comfortable with how I could do it.

I'll be finishing the wings up first and then moving on to the next bit.

hope you like him so far!

All so good to look at! Those Ultras look gritty, and experienced, not parade ground types., I likey!

Those wings are amazing

Great looking wings!

Thanks guys, i've nearly finished the gold on them now, then onto the man himself!

Whoah!! What a cool model to paint! MAGNUS IS FINISHED and I bloody enjoyed painting the big guy, so many options to add colour where it shouldn't be and just go a little crazy with free will I wanted to begin to push myself again as I felt a little stagnant but I'm really pleased with how he turned out and hope the guy I painted him for likes him as much as I do!

I could go on for paragraphs about blending and techniques/colours etc but I won't, I just want you to have a look and hopefully he's got enough character and looks like you'd imagine him to be

That's nothing sort of magnificent Nerdy. The color of the wings are such a compliment to the red skin that both veritably glow in comparison to one another.

Nice work, Nerdy.

Very nice interpretation of big red.

As well as being a magnificent paintjob, the deceptive simplicity of the base really sells the piece as a whole.

Lovely. The highlight for me is that you've got the skin convincingly red, while having it still look like skin.

That purpley red skin is great. Also I didn’t realize the kit could be done without the chest armor.

scrolling quick through the pics he looked really top heavy until I realized that it was two seperate pics (a top and then a bottom with two different angles)

Nice way to change it up from the traditional gold/blue/green.
The orange feathers and the realistic skull was a great choice,

Kudos

Nice work as always, but this is really good work indeed! You can see how he is turning into one of Tzeentch's greater daemons as he has the elements of it, but still is a Prince/Primarch

I gave myself a challenge, I wanted to see if I could paint my latest commission in a week? I was pretty close all this took me 9 days not 7 I must be losing my touch!

So much fun to paint though! 2 GSC Knights, a minotaurs predator and terminator squad as well as a few Tac guys and some snipers, followed by 4 'Dwarfs" and a bunch of D&D models

The D&D models I really enjoy painting, some sculpts are good some are not great but the variety is just awesome! The Dwarf models are for different level ups for D&D and are from the AoS air dwarfs I wasn't sure how to do them but am happy with them and I know I say it a lot but the photo's don't do them justice so much better in person.

anyway here's a LOT of pics.

Frightening busy chap. All astonishing, of course, but the lumpy fleshy...thing is vile and wonderful in equal measure.

Amazing bashed up space metal as always Also those GSC knights! Lovely electricity.

Really dig all those D&D minis, nice spread of dungeon crawler games represented. Annnnnd is that Skeletor lurking about?!

Those two knights are so menacing!!! What an interesting mix of miniatures, is it all for the same person??
