Thanks Protist ^ - Erhart is sat waiting on my painting desk as i type - just have to finish a disc rider of tzeentch i treated myself to painting. (he has been queued awhile now). I think i will start with a dark wash in appropriate places.
On another note - i noticed there are some great posts showing peoples RT era figures and painting at the moment so i dug out my older painted marines from that period.
I "think" my painting has improved since then and i often consider stripping these minis down but can never actually drop them in the dettol... Memories :lol:

Disc Rider of Tzeentch - finished late last night (early this morning) - i spent an age on the NMM sword, not sure it was worth it!
It is not the original chaos disk, i utilized an old JD surfboard instead. C&C always gratefully recieved.

WOWOWOWo

This is one insanely good intrepretation of that model ! A 3 colour combo including black and a kakhi is just brilliant. Until now I've only seen big Tau robot spainted this way but this is one hell of a good model ! I was sort of planning to paint my Slambo this way (replacing the blue by red) but this is just too good ! The idea of painting the inner part if the thighs as plasma conductors or something => excellent.

It is really nic eto see a good tzeentch model painted in something else than the traditionnal rainbow we've all seen countless times. This is just too good.

Technically speaking the blade cold probably use some edge lighting just to make it stand and to reinforce the NMM (I can NMM myself but some edges could definitley help, blending is superb btw). You might also want to do something with the eyes with either a dark hole or something flashy (or maybe one of each).

Seriously, I'm raising all 4 thumbs to you on that one.

Thanks man! much appreciated. I did actually look at some Tau for the inspiration on the board. The sword took an age, there is actually quite alot of heavy dark red/black shading although it is very subtle. I think you are right i'll edge it a little more to make it pop out - it is a lovely model and was a pleasure to paint.

Latest finished figure, circa 99 Space Ork Nob - standard bearer! I always enjoy painting the greenskins. No OSL as i don't think the axe would cast any real light from the pose he is in. I am trying to keep it real! Thought i would share.

Well having a right session with the camera this afternoon as i have no work on.. Messing about with backgrounds, i think some of the results are much better than my usual plain old white canvas! Not actually old hammer.. sorry - it is a nice model though.. despite the err codpiece.

And lastly - not a great figure, or paintjob or photo, however "FEEL HIS ELECTRIC BONE...."

Finished one of the old Marauder ogres over the weekend. Not really happy with the pics - i couldn't get the light right. I have another 3 to do some time

- thought i would share!

Suber · Nov 3, 2014

Wow, you got some relly enjoyable models out there! Nice paintjobs, more than nice indeed :!:

skullhamma · Nov 4, 2014

I love that ogre, very good work!

clownshoe · Nov 5, 2014

Thanks chaps - the pics on the ogre are a little poor, somehow i am losing all my highlights with the lights now.. Photography is a pain in the.
Messing with the marble effect i did some more heroquest stuff - i figured the bases lent themselves to it. Also did a mummy. Just basic painting really.

daddyorchips · Nov 9, 2014

thos heroquest skellies and mummies are an absolute pleasure to paint. they're so easy to do well, i can remember the pride i had when i was young at getting them to look good compared to all the other crap i painted.

those are a very very good example of doing them well though!

Its been awhile, heres an Ork Skorcher I finally got round to painting. I bought this from GW mail order around 1995 iirc.. Lol. The second pic is an Ork I painted but I have no idea of the manufacturer so if anyone can identify it that would be cool.

clownshoe · May 31, 2019

The ork. 10 char.

Looks like a Nick Lund sculpt. Chronicle/Grenadier?

Thanks! got it with that info, it's a Chronicle CFCM-043 - Hobgoblin with crossbow. Appreciate the help Sleepy.

Sleepysod · May 31, 2019

big soft spot for Nick Lund - first miniature was one of his Black Orcs for Citadel. Second was one of his wolf riders.

symphonicpoet · Jun 6, 2019

Your skorcher isn't red! :grin:

That's almost heresy! I love it!

(Of course, I suppose I did paint one yellow ork bike myself. Just one. Everything else is some shade of red.)

Great stuff!

daddyorchips · Jun 9, 2019

love that scorcher, you've made it look really dynamic. fantastic job.

clownshoe · Jun 13, 2019

Thanks guys, been trying to improve my NMM - just "finished" this old Talisman plastic chaos warrior - c&c gratefully recieved.

symphonicpoet · Jul 3, 2019

I doubt I'd have noticed he was using NMM if you hadn't said anything. Which is another way of saying it worked out very well!
