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.

                                     

Terminator Librarian

Here is the terminator librarian after his accident.  I decided to turn the bad into good and try my hand at a conversion for the first time.  Luckily my friend has tons of grey knight bits lying around and was happy to lend a force sword to the cause.

Also the one of the first tries at blending as seen on the blade.

Green stuff is actually pretty fun to work with.

This model has so much character.  I will definitely pick another one up down the road.

These pictures are quite old and will soon improve.  Next up, Chaplain Cassius!
