Agreed, would love to see them against a lighter background

Lovely work though Nerdy.

Here's wishing you a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Your mate must be looking forward to all the new SoB releases.

The Bolter ladies look splendid! Very atmospheric colours. As Whale Music says, it would be interesting to see them with another background. On the other hand, I think the details show up rather well once you look at the images full-size.

Thanks guys, I have seemed to hit the ground (brush?) running in 2020! I like a challenge and want to see if I can paint 500+ models in the year so far 10 days in i've managed to already get 65 miniatures finished

I had two commissions to do, one was 30 Mordheim models which are all done to a really good tabletop standard mostly except where the sculpts were a little wonky due to the age of them all though some are still really nice sculpts and very characterful even by today's standards, I really am enjoying these models as they're a great mix of bright and muted tones and so many different 'personalities' I believe he still has about 70 more of them for me to paint.

The second lot was for my mate Moods, who is getting me to do his Chaos army which you've seen some of so far. This time was a little mix of basic decent tabletop and then some character style paint jobs this second lot was 35 models, which mostly consisted of a heap of Chaos Cultists which were needed within a two weeks for an escalation league which made me push myself again to finish assembly, prime paint and then get them back to him in the time frame...... but I did it!

Firstly the Mordheim








And now the CHAOS






Please excuse the random basing detritus in the pics so many models

You been very busy!

That's a lot of models! And so nicely painted too.

Yes, awesome work.and yellow chaos. How refreshing different. Your tabletop is better than tabletop my friend. All TT should be this good....if only.

Tons of awesome stuff, here on the 13th day of 2020. The Mordheim mass pic is sweet, you very rarely see multiple mobs, and the various dramatis personae standouts, all together like that.

But really I'm all about that not-Iron Warrior noise marine. Delicious.

Looking amazing, I like the Hastur vibe coming of those Kings in Yellow/

He's into... Metal

Cheers guys! They came together nicely and i'm waiting for feedback once they arrive at the guys house :-) I think he's pretty happy with them from the pics but I always like to have that final sign off which means i'll be having more to paint soon!

I also now want to do a yellow Van Saar gang.

Wow, Nerdy. Missed your work. It's always so dark yet colourful. The Mordhiem minis are crazy good. The models themselves are so full of character and your painting just brings them to life. The Sisters of Sigmar are standout though. Love the yellow chaos marines too. Don't see enough yellow on chaos marines.

see if I can paint 500+ models in the year so far 10 days in i've managed to already get 65 miniatures finished

Yeah, nah, I think you'll be fine, mate!

Oh man, your painting skill always blows me away, great to see some of those classic Mordheim models get some love...your tabletop standard makes mine look like beginners work...65 models already in 2020?! My goal is 350, and I'm not off to a good start so far!

Keep up the amazing work

Just the usual then here! Amazing painting, brilliantly done. Tons of nice models. All soooooo good. Yup just the usual.

The speed.. is insane. And the quality great job nerdy!

My word.. I'm happy if I can get 65 models done this year, and you've blasted through that much in 10 days! And to such a nice standard too. Amazing..

Thanks dudes! not a heap to update today except I finished my Iron Warriors and forgot to take pics before I sold them! I also planned out my next army and i'm just as excited as I usually am when I start an army :-) only thing is with this one, there's no chance of Primaris and i've had two games this year which is the most i've played ever in such a short time and i'm slowly (very slowly) picking it up and enjoying it.

I am totally in love with that guitar playing space marine. Awesome sauce!!!

Good job on all the things, Nerdy.

The shading is really good. The guitar especially. My fav.

I'm not sure whether you inspire me to paint more or to just give up and lay down my brush. Really awesome work (as always)

If you hang up your brushes then I will do the same! EVERYTHING I do is geared towards fast and easy that ANYONE can learn that's always been my mission statement and I am more than willing to assist anybody who wants to emulate what I paint, I'm no Golden demon level dude but I can put techniques together and make it work! and you can do the same, just ask

The first finished models for my new Khorne army I always like to set the tone for what I do and what better way to start than a wonderfully dark and creepy squad of Daemonic Bloodletters frickin' cool Daemons and I think i've nailed a decent mix of warp spawned and reality! the style should look lovely if I decide to add any more to the mix.

I have decided on a smallish and very nasty army this time including a Daemon prince, Bloodletters, Bezerkers, Blood Salughterers, leviathan dreadnought and a whole bunch of nasty nasty Terminators

I also painted a Chaplain for my mate's DA army.

This brings my year to date total to 76 finished models.







Grimskull Chaplain

Those minis definitely set a mood The glow from the swords is superb!

Agreed, the swords are outstanding! I’m looking forward to see more of this army.

Love the chaplain, and the blending from red to black on the horns is ace.

Those swords are just absolutely jaw-dropping, some of the best lava/fire-swords I've ever seen.

Ok that is , pure awesome, those letters are amazing!

Adore the molten blades and blackened limbs <3 Very excited for the rest of the host. Also crazy timing as last night I was psyching myself up to finally paint my own Khorne daemons, put off for years now O_o

Those demons are fantastic. I love your take on the skin and the swords are beautiful!
