Hey panda. Good to see you are back to painting and posting. Titan is looking good. You said he will be walking in a ravine with a guard tent? That would look really cool. Are you thinking IG or some sort of Eldar xeno-hut thing?

IG trooper yawns stretches and walks outside lighting his itho stick sheltering the flame from a strange wind. Realizing he fell asleep listening to his Epod (IPod of 40k universe) he takes out his earplugs and is stunned by the screams and noises o fighting. Just then a large shadow looms over him, as he looks up he sees the phantom Titan gazing down on him. His itho stick falls from his lips and his the ground a heartbeat before the cloven foot of the phantom Titan snuffs it and him out of existence.

Moral of the story......"only the Eldar can prevent forest fires you Mon-keigh swine "

ah, commission work on Dreadball figs as well as making your Eldar stick man!

Gotta go buy some guardsmen now....

I got rid f all of mine, I think I even had a wounded one which was laying and had a flat back, would've been excellent to glue to th titans sole o his foot. " how do I keep getting these squishy Mon-Keighs stuck between my toes get the crowbar"

Squishies.. haha. I can see a support crew with a spatula.

Hey all... sorry i havent posted. Life is just so damn heavy atm. 3 jobs and school leaves no time for well... anything Thankfully my art teacher for me one fun class this semester lets me paint my models in there. Huzzah! so i get 2 hours a week . Anyways enough tears.

I am here to encourage a fun style battle report my fellow buddy made.

Click here and see!

That is all, thanks.

Eh so i guess i get to update a mini. Well... over the course of 9 weeks this guy was finished.. huzzah!

The light really threw off this guys colors. I am sorry.

Good work on all the freehand, Panda.

I am thinking based on the colors and freehand that he is from the "Pretty Marine" chapter, or the Crunch-berry marines??? I am sooooooo confused!

he obviously is the Captain Crunch Berry , looks purple and orange on my phone. Good freehand work on the cape though, now he just needs the trifoil hat.

Thanks better photos attached.. only marginally better. Need to set up my light box again.

Try emperors children. I wanted to really push the whole "art" thing with them. But pretty marines i guess works too.

Hmmm... tempting see what you say now.

Still pretty.

Brilliant, and awesome, but pretty.

Thanks. Turns out my varnished leaked on the face, and my highlights were to much for me, here the Chapter Master after touch ups. Oh and now Lord cheeto hand has text. Because magic.

Looks even better in real colour.

Thanks Dr. Yeah... i think i will avoid that lighting again.

The chapter master is all "dude,I have this gun that shoots hot liquid Cheetos, you want to try it?"
Lord Cheeto says "bring it on!"
Chapter master "For the Emperor!" BANG
Cheeto explosion ensues

And they look good while doing it

Does the Cheeto gun have the side effect of distracting the enemy due to cheesy cravings? They all wonder around going "I really could go a bowl of cheeto's right now, and isn't he pretty!!"

I like your bold use of colour, it's really ambitions. How do you do your freehand? Sketch first, onto mini, or just go for it?

You Theo. God damn. Take a medal or something. My sides have exploded, i cant breath.. help.. I will never look at this model or army the same way. I love it.

Haha yeah. Hmm.. Cheeto checks required every turn you can see my cheesy delights running around.

Currently i am just winging it. I picture it in my head, and try to draw it. I still try to use the same principles of 3 colors in every color visible in the free hand, right now i think that is saving me. For my larger surfaces that are more noticeable i will be stencil in pencil and then fill it in. Kinder gardener style. I plan many nudes for my land raiders...

Thanks, i really am trying to push the whole art and color choices in the army.

Also nice to see you again! need to visit your threads.. :F

My Monday in class resulted in this white head.

You can get cream for white heads!
Nice job, looks brilliant.

Well, still good art work on tha cloak

Pretty marines make the angry marines,,,,angrier

Nice work on your helmet...

Great freehand on that SM's cloak. Helmet is nice too. Your skills are greatly increasing.

Thanks about the free hand, sadly or happily i am redoing it. I am really glad you see improvement. I am really striving to get some new lighting effects and things i never done before. Anyways, here is a Photo op of some finshed work.


I went to Vegas over the weekend and played in the LVO 40k tourny. Will show pictures of that soon!

I see changes are on the way for the cloak

Even though they are not the right hands, I keep thinking of the song "Red Right Hand" lol

Cloak looks great
