Mmm, those lines on the predator are exceedingly crisp. Do you use painters tape?
What shouty head have you got lined up for your chapter master?

What details are you referring to on the ZM walls?
If it's the white spaces, then i'd be hitting them with a black wash to try and make them look like glass.

Thanks fella's the HG Master I think will be getting a non shouty head! (shock horror!!) I think as a chapter they are more reserved and the stoic professionalism that they just get in and get the job done with the eyes of the Emperor on them, so I think a nice clenched jaw or sneer like head will be the go! :-)

And my gold, it's primed brown then over brushed with the army painter Greedy Gold and washed with Agrax. the gold is then re applied, next I mix in a small bit of silver into the gold and start highlighting, then a tiny bit more silver added for more highlights and finally pure silver on the edges and then washed with sepia.

Oh and yes, the window parts are what i'm talking about and the two bits I painted on one section just under the windows? does that look o.k as a base? not too basic? there will be some wall sections that have open window parts in them that I'll be adding stained glass in and some flat walls I plan on adding murals too.

I just want to make sure it looks good for the entire board, it'll be a 6x4 interior so lots to do!

Nerd, your painting skills are amazing. Great work all around! Looking forward to seeing more of your Howling Griffons and the ZM board as well.

Beautiful work on the tank damo. That's the best wall set I've seen as well. Nice.

Wow man, you've been putting out gorgeous work. That predator is looking very nice indeed, and I'm a big fan of those purple spear tips on the Custodeseseses.

This blog is always a pleasure.

Custodes are an inspiration, along with everything else really.

To be honest we probably all take a lot of inspiration from the material that you post here

Thanks

I've been telling Damo that we like seeing the WIP stuff up on here as much as the finished products. Glad everyone seems to be backing that!

Certainly do ! Without WIP shots how would we copy it ???

Lol, well here's some WIP a few things again, some more on the HG tank, some good progress on the SH Termies and a finished (I think) tile for the Space Mortalis board

Pred action, guns on and a little tidy up and some lenses,



And some Lamenters Terminators for space hulk! popped them on the Necro bases and they look pretty damn snazzy!







My first tile done, I wanted it to look good and thematic but not too hard or time consuming since it'll be a 6x4 table!





I also painted up some 3d printed terrain for my games! they came out really good I think! and look sweet in the setting.

Lovely work all around.

Think I would go with a metallic. Go all titanium, gold, drybrush silver, purple wash done.

A little more time consuming but what about some nice Blanchesque brown images printed up and cut in to make it look like frescos.

Speed paint it marble maybe? Probably not the best option, but I can do marble fairly quick so I am bias.

All your work is looking fantastic as always sir. Only come here to drool.

Great work Damo, now paint up some Necromunda Orlocks as Guard allies for them.

Cheers guys, I was thinking of printing some murals and gluing them on to other sections as there are other sections with flat walls so you read my mind! :-) i'm also getting some sections with hollow window sections i'm adding stained glass to! I'll maybe add some more stains and wear and tear as I go along creating areas for play, but you'll all be part of that when I get to it :-)

as for Cawdor..... well, I had a real urge to get the models and the puppetswar Clown heads and making some very creepy filthy depraved underhive gang!?

Woof. Loads of nice stuff here Nerdy!

So good it's kinda hard to figure out what to say.

I'm wondering though if you shouldn't paint the cowls on the heavy bolters to match the rest of the tank rather than leaving them silver.

Snazzy predator, Nerdy. I don't know how you managed to paint to of the hardest colours so damn well, but you do it in style.

I was wondering this myself, Gits. But I'm liking the silver more and more the more I look at it. Kind of makes a nice almost anti-colour splash.

Nerdy, really loving the WIP pics. The Howling Griffons are beautiful, and the Space Hulk Termies are gorgeous. The terrain is really nice too, keep up the incredible work!

Dear god almighty that tank is jaw dropping! Well done brother well done. Your shading work is just fantastic. *Looks at own tanks* I'm gonna go cry in shame now

Great work all over nerdy

Definitely continue with the WIP shots....but one tiny request....could you make them look more like WIP and not better than my finished work??

Finally finished up a sweet little Space Hulk batch of Termies for Whaley! I'm loving the yellow on them it really suits them perfectly I think. I do need to paint the base rims as I noticed as I uploaded them don't stress they'll be done! these guys are meant to represent Lamenters Space marines so on some i've added the black and white checks you see on them in the fluff, I think I did o.k as that kind of painting isn't my greatest asset

anyway enough jibba jabba lets have a look at 'em!















and there we have it! I'll be fiddly farting around with my Howling Griffons until another commission lands on my doorstep!

Yup, those are purty!

Yellow is not an easy colour to master, these are truly excellent.

Thanks for the gold info too, much appreciated.

That is a lovely yellow indeed!

You, sir, are a true master.

Excellent!

Terrain bits are looking nice.

And the hulk-smasher's are lovely.

Any chance for a yellow step by step?

I've got some Marines Malevolent in my somewhat near future, and would love some advice!

Just lovely!

Fantastic yellow work there Nerdy. You've hit these out of the park, as per usual. Those nercomunda bases really suit the space hulk theme.

Thanks dudes! i'm pretty pleased you like them, I could have spent many many more hours doing all the details but I think the balance of good looking armour and other details is good for an attractive bunch of miniatures you won't mind playing with and they'll still look rather fetching in any environment

I might do a yellow step by step if you really want? it's not that hard once you get your method down my choice of colours is a little different than some but i'll see how I go since I have to paint literally half (and only half) of my Howling Griffons yellow i'll get a chance no doubt

and that (I think) is all my commission work up to date now and i've only got my HG's to focus on and I have also seen some teaser pics from my mate who is 3d printing me my Space Mortalis board and my oh my does it look completely frickin epic!

Yes, please - I would greatly appreciate it!
