He's slowly getting there. There's a second freehand sun on his shoulder which i can't get a good pic of at half 2 in the morning in english winter.

More progress on the Fire Aelf princess!

This is hands down the best conversion I have ever seen... Wow.

Ace dragon conversion to be sure, looks way better than the actual stormcast dragon IMO.

So for the LONGEST time I have loved Nurgle fluff. I finally started a Nurgle AoS army because I LOVE the blightking models and kit. I decided to model them as if if was sufficient decaying/rotting organic matter and moisture (mmmm!) to support germination of passing seeds.. so I grabbed some sylvanth bits and my novice greenstuff skills. Here is a link to an imgur album I made of the first few! I have done about 6 or 7 more. Each one is better looking then the last with a better "transition area" and better placement.

The last two pictures are a count as rotbringer sorcerer that I kitbashed from Gutrot Spume model and blightkings bits. He needs to be more careful with his magic!!

I will post some more pictures when I get home. Cant wait to paint these guys up!

Cheers for the comments guys. Still slowly making progress on the Aeloran Guard (Fire elf war clan) project. Slowed down a little bit due to having been ill but still going.

10/15 Reavers now done with basing needing sorting.

You, Sir, have remarkable talent!

This is pure eye-candy, from base to model.

Really great job adding to their..."uniqueness".

Can't wait to see what you do with their paint-job. Gonna stick to green and mucus goodness or try exotic and colorful epidemics?


Not much on my end for a post, just had a quick idea to draw some musketeers for AoS.

I really like this. Crazy intense eyes.

Some bases aside this is everything I have painted so far for my Fire Aelves (about 2/3rds of my collection of Aelves)

Wow, just freaking wow. Love the bases Melcavuk. I am going to have to take Matt's "internet of the day" and give it to you today.

As for me, I am finally modelling a new mini. I am working on the Lord of Change. I had it like for years, finally took it out of the box, and trying it out as a practice run and hoping to get the new Lord of Change when it comes out next week.

I'm working on the Glottkin!

I finally finished Ghurk, moving on to his brothers. What do you guys think? I'm really happy with how the base turned out.

Nice work! I find the pink tentacle to be particularly icky in the right way.

Looks absolutely incredible, Branded! The Glotkin has been sat in my "to-be-painted" pile for a while now, might just have to give it a go sometime soon! Fantastic work!

Looks awesome! I know from experience that GS nurgle infestations look AWESOME when painted. Here's one of my older conversions


I made my own Gloss shade for this one, and most off the colour is different shades layered over each other (I was trying to match the iridescent sheen my Chaos Lord has, alas, i probably never will). He was first painted completely with Kislev Flesh, in case you couldn't tell.

Good luck on those Rotbringers!

Ember

I have been working a lot on my rotbringers! I posted pictures in a painting and modelling thread. Gonna drop them here as well. Hope nobody minds.

Here is a rotbringer sorcerer I kitbashed/converted from gutrot spume base with various blightkings bits and some green stuff.
He needs to be more careful with his magic!


I decided since Nurgle is not only the lord of rot, decay and entropy but also of rebirth and regrowth as a natural progression that I would make my rotbringers be the embodiment of this by having small saplings germinate out of their rotting organic matter. I'm sure they are nice and moist to! mmmm. I used some sylvanth tree bits and some greenstuff to build up a nice fleshy pocket that the tree took root in. stil WIP..


added some greenstuff leaves! Here are some other various specimens..I got better with the fleshy "attachment" as I went along and will probably go back and smooth out some of the not so nice ones. I also made some trees germinating out of some battle damged armor. As in some have "holes" punched in their armor and a sapling used the space for a new home >_<




I plan on using some static grass and small basing tufts to further hammer in the germinating surface effect/theme. I think it also shows these warriors in a state of heavy stagnation which is synonymous with those devoted to nurgle. Sorry some of the photos arent the greatest quality. I wanted to get close-ups and show flaws and imperfections in my work so they can get critiqued. All thoughts and comments welcome!

That's kinda sorta what I'm planning to do with my Sylvaneth army. It's going to be a lot of kitbashes between the plant people and Death units. A sort of situation where there wasn't enough plant matter to go around and the land wasn't suitable for it. But life finds a way.

Neat! Like a sterile landscape that still was enough tree magic to form a force, albeit one where some of the force is made out of dead warriors infused with tree magic. What a neat idea. Could do like a desert theme. I'm thinking oasis type where there is some organic matter but mostly sterile landscape! Thats super cool!!!

Please excuse my tree magic wording. I know very little about sylvaneth lore.. even though I'm an arborist by profession o_O

And done! Sir Bry'n the blessed!

Awesome. Love how Sir Bry'n came out.

Oh wow guys, great work. You have inspired me to pick up the paint brush again. Great work everyone.

Is that free hand on his shield?? And the face and beard look stellar!! Top notch work.

First Aelven Steg nearly finished

You are one of the best painters I have seen on here, but... that cork is a bit too flat and "cork-like" for your Golden Daemon-level of painting IMHO.

The base rims are brave, but they work really well as the miniature's colors are quite subdued and thus don't clash with the vibrant bases.

Finished off converting my Exalted Deathbringer with spear, started the base coat today.

Cheers! It is indeed, freehand shields are one of my favourite things to paint and the stormcasts have really great big panels on them to put cool oldschool designs on.

Finished off my next 2 characters for my Khorne Warband. Almost at a 1000 points painted! Thorbjorn the Exalted Deathbringer, and Asgeir Bloodaxe the Bloodsecrator. A little rough in places but I like em!

Painting has seriously stalled of late, but I (finally) managed to get these guys done - more reinforcements for the Everchosen:



Some detail on the Warshrine:



And, of course, the Soul Grinder...

Stalled? You have painted more in a month than I have in years. Stalled. LOL Good one Matt.

Yes I know, stalled for you, but for us that is a life time of work. Beautiful work as always.
