Nice progress youwashock.

Love the old Fire Dragons.

Cheers,

Another vote for old fire dragons .

Big lizard is interesting as well.

Thank you, everyone.

Chaplain is finished. Krusus Thran of the Angels of Truth.




And with a couple pals.



"Forward, bothers! Let nothing stand before us, for the Emperor protects the deliverers of His Truth unto the Heretic, the Traitor, and the Alien!"

Dragons, LT, and Hippolyta are done and mid-varnish. Thermal cannon is done and will be mounted soon, maybe tonight. Quick pic of things to come.



Busy, busy. Thanks for looking!

Chaplain looks awesome , so do his pals. Really like how you picked out all those bits and bobs. Have you shown us those marines before or holding out for a big reveal?

Thanks!

The Marines have shown up before, the first way back on page 2. They are from my mostly unpainted Imperial force. Pretty much just for fun and collecting. I think I have...6...Marines painted now counting the Chaplain. I have focus issues sometimes.

Thermal cannon online.







Only a few pieces left. Large. But few.

Thanks for looking!

Love the green on your angels of truth .

Holy hot peppers Batman, that Knight is sizzling .

Those Flames are very well done.
Love your LotD minis. Subbed.

Love the heat effect on the knight's thermal cannon and those freehand flames are ace!

Looking great Sir, I envy your freehand with the flames. It is just the kind of time consuming detail that I can never push myself to achieve.

The finished Chaplain looks great as well, as others have said it is such a great sculpt and your changes have only served to further emphasise that. And that cape? Wow.

Dat Knight he is smoking hot! I said it before, your freehand on the flames looks awesome, the cannons heated metal looks ace too.

I'm curious to see how you're going to go with the Fighting Fungi executioner and Suzy Belle from Dark Age with her absolute lack of sensible clothing.

Your Chaplain is quite the looker!

Wow all those flames look amazing on that knight. The heat effect is really well done, looks real to me.

Not stopped by for a while, then come back to even more awesome! Chaplain came out great, I echo the sentiment on the cape, really well done. Then the knight that just keeps on getting better! She’s going to be stunning when you finish her off! Keep up the good work!

Chaplain and his chaps are fantastic, great job. That Knight is going to be epic, can't wait to see him finished!

youwashock,

Very nice Chaplain.

Cheers,

CB

Lovely work on the knight, beautiful stuff.

Man, that knight is beautiful! Your own house?

Thank you all, very much. It's great to see a long-term project getting such a positive response.

Highlord, it is high time I painted the fungi Reaper, seeing as how it is my design. I plan to use the art from the book as a rough guide for this one. Should I ever paint my other copies I will branch out, though.

Aestas, no house. Both of my Knights are Freeblades. The first is the last survivor of his former house who follows my Marines around looking to get into fights. They tolerate him because he is good to have around in a pinch and is a loyal servant of the Emperor. The WiP Knight is a man of mystery/ghost Knight who shows up where he's needed and then disappears, LotD style.

Almost done basing finished models. Other stuff in progress. More pics soon. Thanks again for the comments!

I haven't checked in here for a while, lovely updates. I especially like the cloak on the chaplain, well done.

Thanks, Flapjack!

Well, they're done. After starting them some time between 2nd and 3rd edition, this squad of Dragons is painted.



Also finished up a couple random ladies. First, Hippolyta from Mythic Battles: Pantheon. I bought in on Conan, so I already had my fill of Monolith plastic when MB: P came along. A friend liked the theme and bought in. Turns out there are some neat sculpts there, so I eventually picked up a couple of my favorites on eBay. Color scheme inspired by Teela.





Mostly Contrast. Sort of successful. Little dodgy, really. This is one of those, "it's painted" situations.

Also painted up a classic Confrontation model. Loved those guys. Laureena Tillius, the Red Lioness of Alahan.





Their design aesthetic wasn't for everyone, but I was a big fan of their models. Mostly Contrast here, too, but more prep before applying. Hit the armor with a little gloss at the end for what hopefully gives a lacquered look.

Thanks for looking!

That Lioness is well, yeah. Yes. She certainly is.

Good job!

Love the classic Fire Dragons youwashock.

Cheers,

CB

Those dragons are on fire! May have to steal that color scheme. Ladies are looking good too.

Loving those eldar, really old school! Ladies are looking good, did you thin the contrast paint with the medium or how did you apply it *takingoutnotebook*?

Thanks, guys! Steal away, Yorkright!

Viterbi, I didn't thin any of the Contrast. On Hippolyta I used A. White, Iyanden Yellow, Snakebite Leather, and Darkoath Flesh. I hit the white areas with some highlights after Contrast, the gold was silver washed with Druchi Violet then hit with the Contrast yellow. Her hair was straight Snakebite washed with old Chestnut ink and highlighted just a little with a Vallejo skin color. Tanned, I think. Her skin is just Darkoath Flesh over white.

Lioness used Contrast on the skin, armor, and hair. You can look back and see some of the prep work/preshading in earlier posts, but the skin was Gulliman Flesh, the hair was Snakebite washed with Chestnut again after some highlighting, but with more highlights using flesh, bone, and a light yellow after the ink. The armor was silver (AP Plate Mail Metal) washed with Druchii Violet then hit with Iyanden. After that I went back with Blood Angels Red over most of the armor, leaving some details and the filligree in gold.

Those yellow Fire Dragons with the dark red helmets look really nice. Great color scheme and well executed. Everything looks top notch, but the flame effects on the knight are another highlight for me.

Great work getting the long term fire dragons project finished! The dark red helmets contrast really well with the yellow armour

Thanks for the info!

Never was a fan of the confrontation miniatures style, though the Wolfen have grown on me since CMoN have used the style. Your Lioness I should great, really shows me that maybe some of the sculpts were held back by the painting.

Great that you have finally gotten the Fire Dragons done, wrong faction I know but for them it truly has been "The Long War". Really like the alternative colour scheme on them as well, the helmets are especially good.

I do not think that "not Teela" looks dodgy at all. Then again we are often our own worst critics.
