I'm not concerned with who you paint next but hot damn these models you are doing are awesome! :-) very very nicely done Bubble! as others stated you've nailed one of the harder aspects of painting which is the skin, the rosy glow is a great tip for anyone painting Hobbits, Dwarves or Space Wolves, I used it on some Wulfen heads I painted a while ago and it gives them some character! I really am going to look forward to your next model as your level of improvement is phenomenal and if you keep getting better........ well,.....i'll quit painting!

Heheh no Nerd, your painting is excellent, don't be silly now haha.
I'm going to paint Gloin next, he's got one of the best poses out of all of the models I think! I don't know how quickly I'll get him done as I have lots of work to be doing sighhhh!

Roll on winter! it's too hard to sleep through the day when it's been 32-35 degrees down here :-( and I live in what people percieve as a cold state! HA!
after seeing yours and Dave's Hobbit models I am sorely tempted to try painting some just for fun! the fiddly size seems like an excellent challenge for anyone with a paintbrush!

Ahh but @Nerd, the summer means that I don't have uni so I can paint more! I'll be starting my Masters course in September so painting will probably be non existent for a while
Yes you should they are fun despite the difficulty of the size!
I just ordered this guy! I wasn't going to because of the price but I really do love it... I saw finished versions on dakka and tracked him down...
He's totally gonna be Fulgrim! I have a love/hate relationship with Fulgrim... he's a total prat but I think this model catches his personality and everything so perfectly I had to get it. xxx

Man, that mini is awesome looking, and that armor done in purples and gold filigree will look perfect for pre mutation/daemonhood Fulgrim. I have seen art that has him 4 armed and snake bodied

Bombur looks great Bubble. you really make the little guys look fantastic! And i'm fully confident that you will make that fulgrim dude justice aswell.
Hey vik! why don't you make your kid a whole army of badass angry marines!
..Or you could just save him the later embarrassment and re-train his mind to want guard

LOL... well... i DID say he diodn´t want no super armored guys... but he loves blue... so atm he thinks he either gets these blue armoroed guys or something else... atm i am giving my best to get him to want some catachans
he is too young it seems, to think that you could guardsmen the way you want them to be... just like all the other teens that make posterboy marines^^

Thank youuuuuuu!
Fulgrim actually arrived today! But not at my uni address as I had him sent to family home, as I'll be there for a bit in the easter break. So I shall see him in all his glory in a week's time!
And... PAINT HIM SOME ULTRAS, VIK! XXX

Okay, so I found your thread today and went through it. Here's the brief rundown from the beginning.
Elves - While I've never read the Game of Thrones novels, your elves are colorful and well done. I really like them.
Sanguinary Guard - While I'm not much of a Blood Angels fan (being more of a Black Templar myself, these are quite nicely done. Making gold armor come away looking, well, like gold.
Space Marine Bike - Your bike was very good, but like all marines, it seems to lack color. Its hard to get a marine army to look really good. Just such a flat color palette to work with. This is why I believe battle damage and paint scuffing is so popular in GW books.
Female Marines - You mentioned female space marines and someone linked to another forum. Those marines are here. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/345483.page They were being sold by meow meow minis, but they've recently closed. So I dunno where you can get something similar now.
Power Weapon Lightning - You power weapon lightning is very good, but seems to rigid. Lightning is more like a squiggle than a zig zag, if that makes any sense. I can show you a picture of something similar I did on my dark eldar if you'd like.
Sicarius - I really like your Sicarius, I think he is excellently painted. Though I wish I could see more of the face, do you have any close-ups?
Company Champion - Simple conversions are usually the best in my book. A simple head swap can do wonders to change a model
Champion's Sword - Your champion's lightning on his sword is better, but still looks to rigid and straight. But those are my own tastes <.<
Scripture Marine - The marine you painted with the scripture on the shoulder pad is very good. My Black Templars army has zero transfers (never could get the hang of them :( ) so I really like this and may in fact steal it and make use of it for mine.
Yellow Terminator - You are right, the back and shoulder pad yellow paint job appears the best. The yellow on his rear appears too pale and the yellow on his legs looks too dirty.
Librarian - I REALLY like the paintjob on this librarian. Can't even tell that it used to be a Dark Angel
Balin and Bombur - While I haven't seen the Hobbit yet, these look very good.
All in all, keep up the good work. I'll be subscribing so I can see more.

In my experience bubble, 'thinking of' making a certain model or force usually means 'I'm going to do it even though I have not enough funds and 1000 other projects on the go but I had this wicked awesome idea and i want to do it SO BAD'
