This isnt exactly something being painted, rather its something still being sculpted. Though I'm sure it'll fit here perfectly
To be honest, I dont really know what the hell this is. Some kind of Nurgle Chaos spawn I assume. Gonna add some mutations to the legs, including some tyranid toxin sacs on them for flavor. Then, drop it in some paint thinner to get off the old paint job.

Thought I would pop these here, still PIP.

So I will let the pics speak for them selves, I am not happy with the skin tone at the mo, but you get the general idea.




Oh and his rifle....needs a suitable name....




C&C welcome as always, thanks for looking.

Beautiful paint work there!

Thanks, theyre coming along still, theres always another bit of detail I can find that got missed! but theyre looking acceptable to me at the moment.





Still wip though; no bases yet And I might try some freehanded moons on any areas flat and large enough.

All WiPs and all except Warp Smith with a conversion of some sort (ya ADD :( ) and taken with phone cam sorry!

Gah that last thing is hideous! Nice

Busy weathering/rusting my Meka Dread and building some Lootas for my local shops "500 points a month new army challenge"

This is my abaddon almost done.. I chose him purely for the fact that hes a classic

This is my necromunda/inquisitor mutant pit slave renegade dude finished, and some wip additions to the mutant gang

Ok. I've posted this alraedy, but A: i like to share my work and B: im crossing my fingers to see if i can post a pic right side up.

Upload the image to your gallery, then paste the link to the image here.

Great work guys, all looking brilliant.(even if I do have to turn my monitor on it's side.)

Just finished this guy up the other day, a tyranid harpy/crone heavily customized.

The biggest thing was to change his flight orientation from diving,to looking as if he is almost coming in for a landing.

Other modifications;
Custom flight stand (1/2" acrylic rod).
Lots of green stuff work to support head in new angle.
Modified tail (there are vector strike victims on the base)
Fully magnetized to be crone or harpy
Custom scenic base (not done yet in pic).
Crone has small claws instead of acid sac arms.
wings magnetized for easy storage.

Is that incredibly green paint, or did you green stuff 90% of its body?

It is incredibly "green" paint.
I dip my tyranids to give them a "alien slime" look when done, the green turns into a neat looking alien flesh tone, and the orange paint turns into a color similar to a crab shell.
(it took a LONG time to find the right colors to achieve that effect).

As far as the green stuff work on him, I will try to post up a seperate thread on him in the P&M section - I just wanted them to look different, so I put a lot of work into altering the models.

>w< Minotaur's for me.

Could you explain how you achieved your gold effects? Looks superb!

Worked on this one for about 4 hours tonight. I can see the finish line from here.

Looking great so far.

More updates on the Chaos Knight!

Waiting for a lazy Sunday to finish and seal.... wait! That's today!

So many things. Space hulk termies, crimaon slaughter chosen and hellbrute, tyranid venomthrope and some new tempestus scions.

Just got these undercoated, the white buildings may well end up dirty yellow, the black buildings will probably get painted like these:



And only the rightmost piece is finished, the other two still need blood, rust, maybe some metal on the little cube, and a flat coat. Everything will get some posters once I figure out how I want to do it. Probably some stenciled numbers too, since that seems appropriate.

my auto cannon teams, sorry for the quality there mobile pic's.

Those sandbags look nice and Emperor knows, guardsman can use all the help they can get

So Here's what I was working on today; Marauder Captain:

Needs a flat coat to mitigate the shiny dip, and a base. I'm fairly happy with the color scheme and look forward to replicating it on his minions with their simpler details.

there just a sausage of green stuff flattened a little and cut in to "bags" then just rammed on there covered in my finger prints. but it makes them feel like hessian bags.

Nearly finished my "ThundaOrk" New turret to paint.

Nice! I love things in 28 mm scale that are still ginormous. I also like the ridiculous amount of dakka, anything in front of the cockpit looks to be Swiss cheesed.

Abaddon finished.

This is next on agenda. Doom mancubus from reaper miniatures. Made a base for him using the 40k basing kit. I know you should do the base last but seeimg as hes already a full figure, I figured it didnt matter too much

Depends on how you want to do it, I usually paint my scenic bases and models separately and combine when ready. Otherwise, I think I'd do it like you've done that, prime them both in one go.

Really nice Abaddon too.

Aye, id just have tacked him to the base anyway.. His legs are pretty basic too so im not worried.. Il be able to go back and forth between the model and base as a paint it up. Thanks man, i m new(well reintroduced) to this, and I thought id give him a go just cos hes a classic. Im super happy how hes turned out.
