Dammit, I thought we'd have a few more posts by now given the numbers of 40k fans on here...looks like I'll have to post a couple more to get things moving...

Much prefer these guys, the new ones look ridiculously OTT IMO

Bit of a rush job but I like the model. Only the 2nd BFG ship I've ever painted and I wasn't sure what the colour scheme was going to be

Heh, lead boobs.

GW trivia fans will be delighted to know that this is the Goff nob model that made the first Ghazghkull in White Dwarf 134. Ive stuck a power axe from a Blood axe nob on him instead of his original arm and given him a combi weapon. Not too pleased with the milliput work on the arms but you can't have everything.

Ok, this is technically a BUMP as I could just post these straight into my first post, but then no one would see this thread and be tempted to post some of their own mini's.
Come on, POST DAMN YOU!!!

That's what heavy flamers used to look like. For once I prefer the new ones. EDIT: Crap, spotted some blacklining I missed. Digital close ups really show you the hidden details you miss with your eye.

He looks pissed off, probably because I lost his cloak/jump pack and had to give him a new plastic one and knocked some of the paint of his belt...and someones shaved his eyebrows.

But if you don't paint them, then you have no work to smudge...or am I misunderstanding what you have written?AmayaOnnaOtaku said:
I stopped painting models a few years ago because the local hobby shop closed down. My last project was this Inquisitor's retinue (and Daemonhost). Sadly I never have the time to properly finish them.
Annoyingly the lightings a bit too bright, which kind of ruins the deatil.

I would kill for your freehand ability. Those models are awesome!032125 said:
Thanks for posting, looks good. It is a shame about the lighting, it would be nice to see them properly, especially the front of the inquisitor on the right in the first picture, proper lighting (and being in focus) really makes a difference and can be really hard to get right.Geo Da Sponge said:
So you don't paint them because you think you might slip with a brush and put a bit of paint in the wrong place? Wipe it off quickly with a wet detail brush and/or paint over it again. It's not that difficult really. I always make the odd little mistake here and there, you just have to have a little bit of patience and go back and fix it.AmayaOnnaOtaku said:
If you're painting models that you have to assemble it's a lot easier as you can paint them before you put them together, which is a lot less fiddly.
I'm a lot more into the sculpting aspect than strictly painting. Here are a few from my slanesh chaos army.

Thanks for posting. I thought that first one was doomrider for a minute NANANANA! *cough*.Doctor VonSexMachine said:
I like 'Doctor Troll', that made me laugh.
I've always found sculptung a bit tricky. Probably the material I used, always a bit too grainy and difficult to get it to stick to the model. Can't quite remember what it was. I have some milliput in my old paint kit but it don't think it's been opened so it probably wasn't that...
I've tried a lot of modeling epoxies and I find the only one that I can work with at that fine of a detail level is the green-stuff that games workshop sells. It's costly (like everything else they sell :eyerollscumofsociety said:
but at least you don't use a lot.
Looks like I might have to get hold of some if I do any more conversions. I can draw some comfort from the fact that I paid less than half what I'd have to pay now for most of my paints and mini's and have enough to keep me going for a while. Except white spray primer. Paint doesn't adhere too well to the cheap stuff.Doctor VonSexMachine said:I've tried a lot of modeling epoxies and I find the only one that I can work with at that fine of a detail level is the green-stuff that games workshop sells.

ok, ok the next time I get a chance to go to a good gaming store I will pick up the paints and teeny tiny brushesscumofsociety said:
Yeah your computer will be loading that for the next 5 minutes. also C&C is welcome
EDIT!
Also, this is kinda my hobby so totally bookmarking this! And if anyone needs any comments and criticism just PM me or or quote me. I'd always take time out to lend a hand in painting. I may not be the best, but I don't think I'm the worst either.
Sometimes it's teeny tiny brushes sometimes it's slightly larger ones to get a lot of area painted then picking out the highlights and shading the shadows. I mean a Reaper 10-0 Finest helps with eyes. And if you ever want to shoot me a picture of your work I'd be happy to trouble shoot any problems you're havingAmayaOnnaOtaku said:
That's the spirit! As Kuchinawa said it's good to have a couple of slightly larger ones for drybrushing and basecoating larger areas, trying to do that with detail brushes will wreck them pretty quickly.AmayaOnnaOtaku said:

. Thanks for posting, I knew I'd attrect a few people if I kept at at. I really like the jetbike. Do you have any more pictures of it with the back in focus? I'm not too familiar with current models, what is that wierd Khorne robot thing, the 2nd, 3rd & 4th pictures? Who is the red guy with the yellow sword, is that a Halo mini? Finally, where did you get that gigantic marine from?Hooray! I have paints that I bought in 1990 and they are still fine, you should be ok as long as the lids were on tight and you haven't used too much of them.Falconus said:
Lastly, I've nearly finished my next project, a late 80's Evil Sunz ork warbuggy. Will post when finished.
