Huge fan of your stuff, been following your work for ages, since you posted the Sons of Orar commission - only thing I would say is that that your metals seem a little unfinished at times, especially the bolters on the Fists and the gold on the tanks. Your colours are superb though, as is your weathering.

Very nice work, I'm especially impressed with the Vostroyan's and their commisars. Looking forwards to seeing the future additions to this thread.

Your style reminds me exactly of GMMstudio, right down to how you do your photography.

Impressive speed.

Seriously sick once more. Really like the color on the bases, in combination with the eldar guardian squad, like the guns. Very nice, if its a commission i guess the dude will be happy.

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless and perfunctory gift nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing left to drink. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or a English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a. An empty box, filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

cheer's been trying to do the bases as a spotlight hence all the colours in the middle of the base fading to black around the edge.... hope fully it shows through in the pic's?!?!?

Woo, those are some sweet models. Would you be so kind as to make an army showcase with all the model when this commission will be done?
The army all put together must look sick!

Are you mad? This style is nothing like GMM Studio's.
These paint schemes have much more depth and detail, not to mention that they look like they've been painted with love!

Love it. (All of it.) But especially the Avatar.

I saw that and was all, "Ha! I'm NOT the only one who made that into a spear." That blade looks dynamite on a shaft.

Nice work. The army looks great.

If i had to provide any criticism it would be the blue squads. I don't feel they match the bases and vibe of the rest of the army as well as i mentioned before.
