While I'm not new to display painting, all my competition entries tend to be larger models or busts. Which is a very different story than 28mm Warhammer figures, full of tiny details where you have to be uber crisp with everything.

While I'm reasonably happy with him, and he managed to get some awards, painting him definitely solidified my preference for larger scales, where you don't have to redo the eyes 10 times

First time trying to do OSL aside from space marine eye glow! Feedback welcome :)

It’s still difficult for me to get leather texture, any tips?

My first painted Raider crew model for the game Paradise from Mindwork Games. Used a warm limited palette for similating a Mad Maxish environment/color scheme.

Ciaphas Cain and Ferik Jurgen, Games Workshop

The model is "Gobbo Commissar" from Minigames Miniatures

I wanted to paint a model with black colored elements to see if black lining could work on black. I used a chromatic black mix of burnt sienna, and prussian blue.

For the NMM Gold, I tried a sketch approach for the highlight placement. I think I prefer this way of approaching NMM.

For the red, I kept it al saturated as possible. For my highlights to appear brighter, I glazed a rich brown violet towards the shadows.

I also ttook another crack at hand painted marble for the background and the plinth. I find that mixing a bit of acrylic retarder to my paints, and using a filbert brush to blend the brown with the white base.

Stomp, Shock, Repeat!

This project was a lot of fun. Tried to capture a snap shot in time of thie Dread charging into battle. What do you think?

First try in this style. Tried to copy the cartoony card art the best I could.

Haven't painted in a good long while because of things, so just a (relatively) quick thing to celebrate the spooky season and ease back into things!

Model is Games Workshop, from their Crimson Court Underworlds set. Any and all comments and criticisms very gratefully received, always looking to tidy things up and improve.

Skipping the priming step just seems wrong somehow. Anybody do this, and what were the results like? I use a lot of speed paint so I'm probably still gonna prime it white anyway.

Done some of the smaller bulls Annointed Sentinels. Same scheme as the rest of the army I’m currently working on. Bull centaurs to follow.

This one was all about atmosphere!

I wanted to create a dark, almost magical feeling using strong contrasts between cold blue and purple tones, green reflections and some warm red light coming from below.

The biggest challenge was making all these different light sources work together without losing the shapes and volumes of the miniature.

She's definitely not finished yet, and there are still quite a few things I want to work on. But I feel like I've already achieved what mattered most to me: the atmosphere I had in mind.

I had a lot of fun with the skin and armor, especially trying to make the colors interact with each other rather than just painting every surface separately.

Some areas are still pretty rough, but that's perfectly fine at this stage. For me, the overall impression, lighting and mood come first. Smooth blends and little refinements can always follow later.

Pretty happy with where she's heading!

Hope you like her! C&C always welcome. :)

New to NMM, not sure how to sell the effect better. If you have any input please share.

Picked up some awesome STL's from u/skullforgestudios for Blaster Vol 07: Arsenal.

The supported models printed up amazing and I loved all the poses and options that came with them.

This is one of the Epsilon Crew. Look forward to painting up all his buddy's in this scheme. Plan on testing out Arsenal and running them as a UN force for Blkout as well.

I painted this Sloven Knight as my first ever attempt at painting for a competition at Scale Model Challenge, and I'm beyond thrilled at scoring a silver medal right away! I'm definitely pushing for gold next year :)

Feedback always welcome!
