My favourite to paint so far in a good long time, my Escher gang leader - Hasslefree's Andreah if you're interested.

Also, I noticed I missed the handle on her gun, it is no longer skin coloured! Not the best paintjob ever by far, but nice and tidy I hope!

Everything displayed in this thread is simply stunning. I hope I am not being too melodramatic in saying the passion and enjoyment the artists felt can almost be physically seen in these.

This site is such a dichotomy.

The words we have for our hobby are often bitter, pessimistic and full of contempt* while the exemplary art and artistry exhibited throughout cannot hide our dedication and love.

When I feel kind sullied after reading one of those apocalyptic, angry threads, I need only browse one like this to rejuvenate my spirit. These threads are like a warm bath for the soul, and I hope our hobby and our passion for it will allow more like this and less of the others.

*This is is absolutely not directed at anyone in this particular thread. I absorb content far better than forum names.

This is a great sum up of the hobby and I cant agree more

I liked this the most because of everything I've painted to date, I was telling a story with the model and base.

Woooooow piece of art ! Awesome .

My Favourite. Mostly the Face, as you can tell by it becoming my alias. :p

Love the face on this the skin tones are awesome don't think i've seen this head type before did you make it..??

**korbenn**

The model I enjoyed painting the most

I would say this beast. I had even more fun building it.

Followed very closely by this one.

I am building more to fit this army theme.

**heartserenade**

While I do enjoy freehanding stuff, I get tired of it so easily (and now that I'm doing a Westerosi army with freehanded shields... ugh). So nowadays I enjoy simple models with few but very crisp details to paint up:

**jonolikespie**

I spent the other day painting up this guy:

Not the most fun I have ever had painting a model, but I enjoyed it.
I was mostly just wanting to try out some new pigments and went for a 'clawed his way up from the depths of the ocean' look. And of course doing that I had to get something Lovecraftian as a chapter symbol

**Shenloanne**

Exhalted for Lovecraftian fluff!

**ArbitorIan**

I remember this being very fun. A simple paint job, subtle conversion, and Psy-judge Anderson becomes the Primaris in my Arbites army...

**AuthenticPaint**

This was my fav!

**Joyous_Oblivion**

These threads are awesome. As hurtmypony said, these posts are whats right about our awesome hobby.

**heartserenade**

Hmmm, when it comes to freehand I think this is my favorite model so far:

Infinity in my opinion does have the best Sci-fi sculpts in the market today.

The model in the photo is definitely not finished (just look at the base!), but I guess she's 90% done. I need to take photos of my finished products...

I am gonna have to go with this one in recent times

It was my first time trying a sort of wet blending technique and I think it turned out pretty well. I used it on a lot of other models afterwards.

It is one of those things where it is fun to see an experiment in progress working.

**Wolf**

Well then I think mine will have to beee the Flower Knight.

The model has amazing detail and it was a challenge to get the greens to stand out from one another.

Spoiler:

My second model will be the Dkok Quarter Master, Such a fantastic model and was a joy to paint, the biggest challenge was getting the highlighting smooth on the clothes and achieving a decent glow on the plasma pistol

Spoiler:

I have more models that I have enjoyed but I think these are my ultimate favorites.

**Erik_Morkai**

I enjoyed painting my Strikign Scorpion squad, some of my best work on individual figures.

Striking Scorpion squad

Exarch

**Sammoth**

My redone Khorne World Eater Land Raider

Thank you very much for the compliments. I have been working hard to get everything painted to tabletop standard. I am gonna have to go back and fix some parts as well as add highlights and detail work.

I post everything in my painting thing here on dakka http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/585859.page

**disdamn**

This one would have to be my current favorite. I spent the most effort on it and learned a lot about blending, shading, and highlighting while doing this one

**PandaMango141**

It's a tie between these three. I'm tempted to strip down the Chapter Master and paint him again.

**Loken31809**

Great work everyone, looks awesome

**tomcat31**

Ok. I know I've already posted a favorite, but I enjoyed building and painting this guy so much I just had to post him.

My prototype chaos bullgryn

Here is a Hellpit abomination I did for a friend at the shop.

I had to add a few pieces to the original model. Enjoy!

**matphat**

I would have to say it's my Kustom built Biker Boss. I'm still not a great painter, but I really tried hard with this guy, and I think the paint job reflects it. Especially his skin.

**randomtoaster**

I'm torn between these. I really couldn't say which was most enjoyable. Had so much fun painting each one!

**hector cervantes**

Im pretty new to 40k, so i've only painted a few minis so far, but I'll have to say this is the one I most enjoyed, first because its a character I had created a few years ago in some fluff I've written and because he was the first mini I ever painted.

**Alienoid**

Not the most difficult but definitly fun

**Alienoid**

Here is the front it wouldn't display both images at the Same time
