Amazing. Just amazing.

Oh.
My.
Fething.
GOD these are incredible.

I bow before your awesome painting skills!

Stopped watching these during page 2, couldn't take anymore of this awesomeness.

Good job mate the work is stunning!

Ah I remember you. You were at Chicago Gamesday 2012. ^.^ This is where I recognize it from. Your army was on display?
I recognized the Dante with the circular base. I thought it was awesome at the time.
Still think its awesome. I remember seeing it in person or something like it. (might be the later)
But anyway dat storm raven looks fantastic and the dreads and apothecary JAWDROPPER

Many thanks for the kind words! Yes, that was me at Games Day.

I had the Sanguinary squad that got the Silver

Sanguinor!

Here's a little start to the infantry units of the Angels Solarus. This figure was the first color test:



Then some more:











There were lots of them. At least 22-24..


More to come!

A few more infantry...

This stuff is so amazing, I don't know what else to even say. You need to do an article on your technique: How to paint minis, Wapplious style!

Amazing work!

Thanks!

There's tons of articles on the blog about all sorts of techniques. You have a bunch on the top bar, but the rest of it is laced with step by steps. Of course, there are the painting DVD's that will be released once the kickstarter versions ship...

Here's a few shots of the guys on an actual table. I just set up what I had to make some fun scenes...

those dreadnought pods are gorgeous. was there anything about painting them beyond the color transitions that was insanity inducing? about to paint up a pod myself

Putting them together made me wish my ancestors never evolved to walk on dry land, but that's just another day at the FW and F-cast office.

Miscasts and whole missing sections aside, you will find that you need to shave down the sides of the door panels after it is assembled. Now I painted all the pieces separately and put them together afterwards, so maybe that won't be an issue for you. Also, if you want the panels to stay closed, I suggest very strong magnets! You can even see some of them in my drop pod images...

Best of luck!!!

cheers! luckily, I'm just doing a regular C:SM pod and not one of the FW dreadnought pods. very helpful info for the future, though

Ohh, good luck with that as well. We did one of those, and refused to do any more after what we had to deal with

The plastic ones really don't go together well, either, I'm afraid. I do hope that your experience is better!

I think you have seen the Imperial Fists version of this:

Awesome painting!

If we agreed on an 1850 battle and someone pulled this out of his case I would be embarrased to field my orks. The time and detail raises the bar for all of us. Alas I have no talent for the brush. Were I to win the lottery you wouldhave a full time job as my painter for some rediculus salary.

Outstanding! I might as well paint with crayons...

He he... when people ask me what I would do if I won the lottery, I always say that I would now have the time to paint my own armies!!

That, and start research for my spectacular Death Ray Machine.

A little too ornate for my tastes, but I definitely bow down to you paint slinging skills. Very nice work.

Some of the Death Company from the Angels Solarus











Here's what they looked like before I got down to painting them...

More Death Company:

Amazing. Just amazing. I love your painting style. Do you use an aerographe ?

Your painting is seriously, as ivankaiser has said, amazing. Do you use an airbrush, or is it all by brush? How do you get such smooth blends (and generally smooth paintings?)

Thanks guys!

Definitely no airbrushes used.

It is a combination of several things. I use filbert brushes for most of my early layers, which lets me paint very quickly... to the point where I can even do some wet into wet blending. Using glazes to shade and tint colors darker is also a big part of it. If you look through the blog, you will see lots of how to articles. There are a bunch on the top bar, but they are also interspersed throughout the various 'army' posts.

That goes for the Imperial Fists, the Tomb Kings, my LOTR armies, and now the Dark Eldar...

What i would do to be able to paint like that! Great work, my fav is defiantly the storm raven, that wing is incredible, and the plasma cannon dread, Insane!! keep up the good work!!

I just went through your blog, and also some youtube videos and I realised it's really all about doing a lot of small things which come together! I shall apply to my painting from now on. Thanks!
