Some finished projects

Touched up this Typhus by adding highlights and washes.  The original was just basecoated a plain green.  This was a fun exercise because I really got to accent the important areas and the details stand out so much more.

A converted Khorne lord.  I love how the owner made this model look.  This was one of first attempts at getting a nice red color on a whole model.  I've learned a lot about reds since this model so I can't wait to have a similar project to do.

Noise marines done for the same client.  He wanted a garish pink throughout the squad so I tried not to darken the pinks too much with my washes.  The green glow came out pretty well on the blasters.

Plague Marines!  These guys were awesome because I got to paint with the washes more than actual paints.  I used waagh flesh and nurgling green for the base coats and kept the fleshy areas a neutral color like xandri dust.  After that all I had to do was start laying down the washes, using mostly coelia greenshade for the armor.  The flesh areas had many layers of reikland fleshtone, carroburg crimson and druchi violet.  I worked fast and mixed the colors together many times to achieve a nasty, cancerous look.

Death Korps of Krieg chimeras along with a tiny glimpse of regiment.  I love doing vehicles now because you get to use a huge brush and work really fast.  The smallest highlights and effects over an entire model really bring character to an army.   You may notice the "Hello Kitty" soldier in the foreground.  Nothing intimidates an opponent like placing down 1 bright pink soldier among the death korps.

Some shots of battles at Mark's Comics in Valley Stream

Some 2v2 games.  Bit of a proxy fest.

Tau vs Tyranids.  Love that the new codex has players bringing out the swarms again!

 Necrons vs Imperial Fists.  Apparently those terminators went the distance.

 Brand new Tyranid army taking all comers

My Vulkan makes a glorious final push on the Tau objective to steal the game.

Chaos Helldrake

This model is as much as pain to paint as it is to play against.  Doing the individual panel work took a bale-flamer to my skull.

Some silly shots we took at the Mark's Comics in Valley Stream.

AP3 bro.  I think we all know how this turns out.

Last but not least.  Some better photography of the WIP thunder hammer squad.

I'd love to hear your questions or comments on any of my work.  If you want to know how I achieve certain affects or how I can improve mine, feel free to ask.

Tau! Infantry galore

Here are some Tau I painted for a client.  This was a ton of infantry and quite a daunting task.  White was quite annoying to work with in the beginning until I developed a technique to achieve a pretty good table top white armor.

First layers on the mini.  Mephiston Red and Dawnstone/Ulthuan grey were the first coats.

Here is the wash stage.  You have to be sparing with the washes when working with light colors like white.  I always watered the Drakenhof nightshade down and only used nuln oil in the deepest cracks.

 Army shot.  I think there are 72 fire warriors in total.

Some cinematic shots I attempted.

 I love the way the sergeant came out.  He needs his own proper photo shoot one day.

Chaplain Cassius

First colours laid down.  Tried out a dark navy instead of black to see how I could shade it but decided to stick with the black in the end.

More colors added and the golds finished up.  I used Balthasar Gold > Gehenna's Gold > Auric Armor Gold > Mithril Silver.  It's a little tedious but the result it quite nice.

Here he is with some of his Ultramarine buddies.  Toughness 6 is no joke.
