Don't think I can see the frosting from here, they look good to me.

Got paint chips and decals done for my chimera. Gave it a coat of gloss varnish before bed and I'm hoping to bust out the oil paints this evening and hit the recesses and rivets. Comments and criticisms welcome!

Looks good mate, cant wait to see it finished.

Thats actually starting to look like the best tank I've seen. The real metal look helps that alot

Other than batch paitning anyone have any tps on painting quicker?

@ carlos13th & Hive Fleet Cerebus - Thank you guys! I'm hoping to finish it up in the next week or so and will keep posting updates.

As for faster painting without working in batches, I am probably one of the slowest painters ever. It doesn't help that I love the IG, either. I would say my motivation for a finished product is what keeps me on track and working at a good enough pace when I actually am sitting down and painting. Sometimes I keep a few finished models on my desk as a reminder that what I'm working on will look like them soon enough.

Here's the latest update to the Chimera. Experimented with oil paints to create rain streaking effects for the first time last night and I feel pleased with the results. I think it looks a bit greasy here because of the gloss varnish and I don't think the oil paint had quite dried when I took the picture. When I'm done with the whole model it will get a nice spray of dullcote. What do you guys think of it?

Got this Got this mini from hi tech minis .was very disappointed on the quality of the cast but gotta make the best you can I guess

I tend to keep all the models i want to get done... on my desk. So it forces me to paint to get it cleared lol. but yeah. Long way to go. xD




Hopefully they will all be done by the release of the new codex xD

Recived my order from warbases they look great. Gonna work on painting them up when I can't focus on detail work.

Looking good everyone! I did some more work with the oils last night... think I might have gone a bit too far on the right side of the hull. What do you guys think? Hoping to finish off with the oils and have a go at some rust effects this weekend.

Some after work relaxation

There's my laptop painting station.

Here's what I've been painting on it:

One of the guys at my FLGS asked me to paint this bad boy up for him. So its been primed and its curing right now.

Blimey, my poor models put to shame. Here's the state of my bench at the mo. The part of the house informally referred to as 'the missus' exasperation'.

Edit:arrrrgh, cannot get this to work posting multiple images. Cos they all have the same file name on iPad, it just posts the same pic over and over. Will have to try again tomorrow.

My work bench as of today:



Spent the day building vehicles and wraithguard in prep for my next round of frantic painting...

Khorne Biker Conversion from Dark Vengeance Box set. WIP

Well it's 05:16 am here in blighty, so the picture I just took look awful, and my micro USB cable has gone walkies, but I have a random FOW german command team leaning against a stone wall talking about something being worked on atm. It's amazing what you can do with fish bowl stones, picture WILL come soon!

A bunch of Soviet tank destroyers and German heavy tanks (right)

Got to get the airbrush out tomorrow and give the Germans their camo and hit the Soviets with green.

Nice monitor set-up I have to have mine pretty close to the same level on the bottom though or it drives me crazy.

Working on my space wolves at the minute got 5 assault marines and a rhino, my very first attemp with my airbrush that came on Friday

My crazy 'try a bigger needle in my airbrush' plan somehow mysteriously worked, so I got some more pieces worked on and undercoated:


I tried to use the airbrush to add some shading as I went, or well not-not add some shading. Leave parts of it darker.. same thing. Working?


Dice tower in the back, crates stored in the little cube building.

The difference can be kind of annoying, but I've grown used to it.

Just a quick update, painted my Tartoros terminators as far as I can, as the rest of the bits are at home, the yellow is much better blended than the picture suggests

Might go back and re-do the crux terminatus.






Next on the chopping block: Justaerin terminators converted to Wolf Guard



Let me know what you think of them

They look superb, nice feel to them, looking forward to them painted up.

I love this thread, great idea...

Just working on my LoER Terrain piece.

This guy is how I feel.


And painting a roof.


Thanks for the opportunity, great work everyone keep it coming.

Cam, your work can be summed up in 1 word: EPIC!!

I have been plugging away at my terminators, got the browns done and almost doe with the reds, then on to gold and metal



A question though, the autocannon guy, should he keep the centre of his belt all gold, or should I paint it like a big giant gemstone???

I'd say gold. Are those Space Wolves?

They look amazing, and I would go with a contrasting gem or metal, maybe a black! But that may not be in keeping.


Oh and thank you.

Just finishing a few dark elf bits as i have really slacked recently lol this my wip atm
