Love your painting style Paradigm, very realistic and gritty looking. Non-red khorne looks amazing

Not the greatest photo, but quite possibly my greatest achievement with painting. This may have been the quickest mini I have ever gone from buying to painting to finishing in 20+ years of hobbying. From buying on Thursday to painting last night and basing him today. Most of my minis from the 1990s are still waiting to be painted!



Was ok with the paint job until I tried to go to the next level with it and add some glazes (copying from the Warhammer TV Nagash guide) and felt it ruined the ghostly effect (the citadel glazes are a lot stronger than they used to be!) by giving it a cartoony glow. Saved it the best I could and hope that it wont be too noticeable (other than on the ghost face on the top right!) when I do the other two and I skip over the extra steps.

Meant to be painting more goblins ( I have about 400 hundred waiting to be finally done) but I couldn't resist a death box to paint up- especially as my other half is getting quite a large number of trees next week to go with her wood elves back log I'm still too paint! (not too mention all the scenery shes brought I'm still to paint as well!)

Nice job there Rex. That mini made me almost pull my hair out. Had a hard time gluing that baby together. Once painted, I am happy with what I did as well. I am hoping the other 2 will be easier to put together. Right now, I but that box set on hold now because how frustrating it was for me to do.

Looking forward to see more of your army.

Here's where we are after today's painting. Should have the Storm of Sigmar set finished up tomorrow!

Thanks! Yeah, tell me about it. I wouldn't suffer spirit host building on my worst enemy! They are horrid to put together! I'm actually going to start work on the mortis engine first, just to skip having to put together another one so soon! I'd kept thinking I must have cut the connector tags off parts of the mini!


@Paradigm They are fantastic. I love your Khorne guys, so much better than the red/brass standard GW has set for them!

Picked up the Khorne half of the starter set from my FLGS a couple weeks ago. Ordered the KBB battletome and an Exalted Deathbringer with Impaling Spear scheduled for delivery on Friday. Have the Gorechosen game set to notify when it is back in stock. Purchased Silver Tower for 20% discount at a con this weekend.

The thought occurs: At some point, I actually need to paint this stuff.

P.S. What's that? A Start Collecting: Khorne Bloodbound kit? GW seems to be offended at the very idea of my having money!

Those stormcasts are the first stormcast I have seen that actually look really good, and those Khorne guys are actually making me contemplate making a Khorne warband

I'm actually contemplating expanding the Khorne lot myself. Initially, I wanted them just to paint up and use as a warband in assorted skirmish games, but they were good fun to paint and I don't usually play 'bad guy' forces, so it might be a nice change of pace. I was going to get the Start Collecting Stormcast box next, but I might just upgrade to the main starter set instead...

Mannfred is done! Having a bit of an 'issue' with the wings on my Stardrakes, so I took some time out and finished the Betrayer...

Finished the great maw for our GHUR battle coming up in August to decide our Azyr Empires champion.

That is fething cool!

Woah, that looks nasty. Great work!

Awesome work! And happily he's no slouch in game, would guess he's in the running for toughest warscroll

- Salvage

I love the drooling maw you've done there Auticus. Looks very much like it's burst out of the ground and roared at someone.

Dude, all these posts on the AoS board and this is the first time you show off your awesome painting! Show us more of your stuff!

Man all these images is making me feel bad about my painting. Gotta work harder and become good like you guys and gals.

So I bought multiple starter box sets and came up with the following by taking the relictor body and adding bits from Stardrake kit.



Relictor, Castellant, and Celestant.

Thanks

I've posted a few things just sporadic. My next project is the troll hag. I'm sculpting her a crown as she is Throgg's consort in my army.

After that I begin work on the new AOS table set in the realm of metal. I'll post pictures of them as I complete them. I normally post a bunch on facebook and my twitter. (@auticus)

So I used Vlagorescu's horde to make 6 crypt horrors, a crypt haunter courtier and a crypt infernal courtier. Sadly, this left me with 1 leftover crypt horror that really isn't ideal for matched play. So I tried my hand at sculpting some furr and turn the last model into an alternate Varghulf courtier.

I also added a bone tail with fur to him, to at least try to make him resemble the original varghulf model a bit more (also the reason for the "quad wings" with 2 smaller ones, like the original varghulf has). A bit of metal wire and miliput also spread the wings out a bit to repose him slightly, giving him a more imposing stance.

Also, I took a picture of the overview of the army. Just the crypt ghouls left and they are almost done!

I just started testing bases for my Bloodbound.

Not as flashy as built and painted models, but I am crazy picky about my bases.

Check out my blog (in sig) for more pics of bases and some other stuff about my Khorne BB.

Eww, square bases...

It is a test base. I don't want to waste my round ones on potentially failed bases. Check out my blog post on it. It took me a bit to get to this style, which I like.

And nothing wrong with square bases. It's his money, his time, his love. He shouldn't have to make an excuse because some people frown on this.

Awesome job, love the base.

Alright, I actually did the same with an old square based a couple days ago as well ^^

Yea, there is a good use for the old squares after all.

Now that Ogors (lol) are getting updates, I will have to rebase that army. Thankfully, they never made it onto the bases, so I get to find creative ways to cut my squares and glue the tops onto new rounds.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN, AMIRITE?!

Gracias!

I will be adding some airbrushed inks, I think, to spice up the colors and make it a bit otherworldly. Plus, tufts! Everything's better with tufts!

Spoiler:

No shame in a slow painting pace here, these are excellent! The skin and gore effects especially are just great, nailed it man!

Oh, these were a pain! But, they are finally done - two Stardrakes for the Extrenmis Chamber:



The majority of these models is dead easy to do, but those wings... ugh!



The wings require a fair bit of precision, and that is... not really me!

Those are awesome, Matt! Great job!

Started on an Armies on parade board for my flesh eater courts. Very early WIP.
