Feedback welcome.
Thanks for looking!

































Thanks again!

All these are very well painted, I am jealous. The first Ork is such a good conversion and so much better than the original.

Those Ultramarines are impressive as well.

Your paintjobs and conversions are good enough that they could easily be commission-quality. Far better than anything I've ever done or could hope to do.

I think your diorama, while great on the models and scenery side of things, needs more of a sense of action to it. Right now, all of the models look exceptionally posed, like the whole thing is just set up for a photo shoot. I'm not entirely sure what the story you're trying to convey there is, but I'm guessing that the demon is sneaking up on the Space Marines? I think that you could convey that better if you gave the demon more of a stealthy or triumphant pose (depending on which phase of his approach you are wanting him to be in) and if you gave the Space Marines a more cautious, alert pose. Right now all four models look like they are just standing around trying to look tough. (Which they do! Tough as nails! )

Great job doing extreme highlighting that doesn't look unrealistic, by the way. In my opinion, it's the hardest part of this hobby, and so very few people can pull it off.

Absolutely top notch painting, especially love the Ultramarine Terminators, although it looks like they may be turning away from the Demon Prince instead of facing him head on!

Yep I hear that. I was just a quick diorama I threw together. I call it "3 blind mice". The termies are supposed to be unaware of the demon behind them moments before it attacks.

Those are some unlucky Marines....

These look great. I must say that I love the blue color you use on the orks, it's almost pastel in how warm it is. And the conversion work on the Kan is just top-notch!

Fantastic paint work, very well done.

Wow, lovely stuff, that ork thing sums up what 40K is all about and the blue on the Ultramarines is stunning.

DEAD KILLI LOOKIN GUFF MATE ME OL MUKKA!

seriously tho the paint quality in simply fab, my supa runts would rob dat snazy kan well quick!

Really nicely done, That painting quality is HI--IIIGGHHH

GOOD JOB!

Awesome work there matey.

Pristine painting.

Oh. My. Gorka.

Awesome job on everything mate.

Truly, truly amazing painting. The person that mentioned the blues being awesome is so right.

I was blown away by the kan and then scrolled down and saw that demon, kan forgotten and i ogled that demon for so long i almost got a figurene woody ( i was going to write "miniature woody" but managed to stop myself )
