Well Hello

This is my first post here and I think not the last I was watchin and reading the dakkadakka forum from quite a long time but now its the time to post something already

This was my entry for the Hussar 2013 competition in Poland.

Its a bit diffrent than most nurgle models because I went not for dead green colors but rather for life green.
Is it better..I dont know but still I like him this way biggrin.png

And what do You think ?

Its a little too clean for my liking but great paintjob! Nice looking base, only thing that's a little off is the face but that's me!

Good work!

That may be the "prettiest" Nurgle mini I've seen.

I'm not sold on it for Typhus, but that ethereal effect you have on his scythe blade and fly icon is amazing.

thx for the comments

Well I know its a bit diffrent than the normal nurgel paint schem but it was painted for the competition so I wanted him to look diffrent

I like the colors are all in conflict with one another... it's very chaotic. But he seems a little too clean for Typhus. His armor is almost pristine when it should be covered thousands of years of rot and decay. I like the strange effect you've applied to the metal bits, but the OSL on the face is just terrible. Not only is OSL in general just overdone and a bit trite, but in this model it's completely washed out his face and covered up all the detail could/should be there instead. Why would Tpyhus' eyes glow that brightly?

Kudos to your skill with the brush, but I am not fan of this composition.

Beastly Witam!

Very nice mini your base is very nicely done. The blending is great although in a few areas could use a little work (top of his back) over all nice job. I'm thinking of entering the paint competition next year. I travel to Poznan twice a year .

Post more pics!!

the paint job is A+, but I agree it dosnt go well with the fluff of the character..

Looks fantastic (a bit too much like a coral reef for my taste but whatever floats your boat) my only complaint is the lack of a goblin green rim on your base

I dig it. Kind of like living mould or bacteria or something - kudos for trying something different and not going the same old route with Typhus!

I actually agree with En ExcelsisMade about the OSL. The face seems so washed out because of it. The basing, which is wonderfully done, doesn't seem like it fits the model. The colours are so bright that they seem a bit distracting.

Your certainly a skilled painter, no question, but I'm not a fan.

Just applying a brown wash to recesses or a rus pigment might give it more of the Nurgle feel while still allowing your brighter colors to pop.

Also from a gameplay standpoint this model is a close combat beast and the base is so huge it will make pile ins during CC on the tabletop a little difficult possibly allowing more models to be "touching base" than normal.

those are some STUNNING colours. I love it. I'd want a whole nurgle army in these colours. Sure be different than the more traditional grimy look.

heheh thx And that was exactly my point
To have a different Nurgle than always people paint them

I really like the colors.

WITH YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAIN TYPHUS!

Well now something I think You will like
but still need to work on my weathering

Enjoy

So wht do You think ??

I feel like painting the grid over the lights in black helps the headlights look more realistic. Other than that, it looks awesome. Even with the headlights the way they are now, it looks awesome.

Well I was working lately on two things

And here they are

With the bikers oryginalny I only wanted to practise painting black armour and here are the results

Enjoy and comment

First my Ultramarines :

And Bikers :

I really like reading Your comments guys because it really helps me improve my painting

Not crazy about the purple OSL on the ultras. Something about the blue and that purple tone aren't working for me. It is executed very well, the color is just a little off for me. The "black" on those bikes looks really clean. It brightens them in a good way, but I think you may have gone a little overboard with the yellows in the weathering.

Solid stuff all around! Don't take my criticism as anything other than help. You're painting exceptionally well.

thx mate

Well I wanted to experiment wint blue and purpel but hmm You see the effect

But hey thats why experiments are for to learn what no to do XD

Very nice, Its been a while since I've come across a thread this good!
Keep up the good work!

Thx mate

Whell on this week I want to finish smurf Terminatros and a Bloodthirster so keep your fingers cross so I make it

Well after a big break Im trying to get back in the game so I give You my first minis after another big break
Skillz still rusty unfortunately

No but, thanks for validating my opinion and that's all it was. No need to be a jerk about it. Simply Typhus is never that clean. I did not say it was a bad paint job by no means. And if you actually took the time to read the other comments. I'm not the only one who said something about it.

Hey and thx for the critic

If it comes to typhus I know that some people didnt like the paint scheme but I just wanted to test something else that the usual Nurgle them so there

but still thx for the reply it always helps me to improve my skills

Those Smurf Termies look pretty damn good to me. Never painted Termies before and the Ravenwing look great. Might go and buy a few sets of those later.

Your work looks great? I take it you use an air brush? Do you use it for most all of the work or is a traditional brush used in some parts? It looks to me as if most everything done is with an airbrush.
