Looks incredible BaM! Not much more to say!

Nice painting on the grot dudes and squiggly beasts. Nice smooth painting

Awesome robin! Really super realistic painting 10. Looking forward to seeing them completed

Always an interesting read Curis, and I always learn something. Class painting as ever

They have turned into a massive issue. Tried and failed a few times with them now and the paint has gotten very thick and rough.

50/50 between throwing this one away or not. If I wasn’t so...

Made a start on the metals. The shoulders are in a different style to the plates, which I’m going to attempt a brushed nmm effect on.

Woops!

Liking the Ur-Ghul! Quite fun little models to paint and the base colours are inspired ;)

Gribble-Face is just awesome buddy. Absolutely loving that colour transition towards his squid arm.

Janet’s made some great progress too

Awesome colour work on the bust Hairster. Really is a great example of colour theory and texture painting.

Been following along on the Gram mate. Good progress on her, especially on the skin recently.

Never used any of the Mr Hobby supplies. MaM might be your best bet there. Trolls look good though buddy, nice bellys on them.

Awww come on man, that is just way too pretty. Superb texture on the robin. Glad you’ve got your mojo back

Been watching this one on Insta. Awesome nmm blue on that armour, really inspirational.

Looks great Oct! Really nice greys on the plates there and good use of textures overall.

Quiet couple of weeks for me sadly. I fell out of the painting groove a bit and have struggled to pick it up again.

Managed to refine some of the blends on Belly’s robe. Need to go in with...

Gribble-face’s belly is particularly nice here mate. And by nice I mean the blood and rot looks realistic.

You’ve outdone yourself with these gellerpox.

It’s a really simple model, so lends itself to airbrushing well. Just started black and sprayed progressively lighter blue from higher and higher, and focused a little on the shoulders and upper...

Liking all the work on the dwarf mate. Nice bit of OSL on the mask around the eye too.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the busts.

Nice work Arkaan. Really good definitions on the muscles.

Two weeks off work has done wonders! Sadly I’m back to work now so progress will be slower.

Continuing work on Belly. Think I’m going to go back in with some stippling to add...

Awesome sculpt mate. Really nice work on the hair

Cheers for the close ups man! Disgustingly glossy and gritty.

Lovely gradient on the armour and the plasma guns are cracking mate.

Nice to see you back mate. Those sculpts are awesome, particularly the walking bloat drone

Looking good buddy. Verdigris and flesh is really nice.

Cheers guys! She did turn out better than expected, and it’s nice to not have that model looming over me any more.

Got a couple of Ul-Ghul painted in 2 hours as a bit of airbrush practice.
...

All looking great buddy! Would love some close up shots of those gellerpox

Why are all these grots aiming by looking dead at the back of their guns?

Seriously though, nice work to both you and Arkaan on the little green dudes

Voted mate! Really nice work

Squigs look good so far BaMster! Any chance of you tackling some slightly larger squiggly beasts?

70831

They’d look great all bloodied and gunged up

Cheers you two! KB, the muzzle worked out far better than it should have done.

I rounded out 2018 by finishing the sacristan. Here she is in all her rough glory. Nightmare to build, nightmare...

Happy new year mate, and congrats on the front page!

Definitely an excellent colour scheme for the gobbo there. I might have to rob it in future ;)

Awesome stuff Arkaan. Really good looking Mallex.

Particularly like the nmm and the weathering on the cloak.

You know my opinions on this one buddy. Voted!

Gellerpox are outstanding BaM. Nailed all the elements of contrast!

Nice variety amongst the knights Graishak! I’m excited to see how you handle those plastic nighthaunt too!

Awesome work on these! As a bit of a Dark Souls 3 player, it’s nice to see the beasties realised on the tabletop.

Keep it up!

Voted buddy, nice work!

Thanks everyone, especially Uncle BaM!

The Kroot Tracker is up in my gallery now - http://www.coolminiornot.com/433461

Cheers CC and Lem!

Lem, the rifle was based with Vallejo Liquid Gold silver, and I noticed that the edges caught the light particularly well so I glazed black in the middle section. It comes...

Done!

7073970740

Thanks to Canny for the bases. As much as I hated this guy, it hasn’t stopped me ordering a few more of him for a special project.

Sacristan next I think! At long last

I think that white looks more natural with these minis. Awesome group though mate!

Voted! Wonderfully different model, nice deviation from the norm in tribute to Slaanesh

Awesome as ever Andy! Really smooth look to everything.

Nice duel!

Voted buddy! Really nice weathering on the marines.

Nice to see some smurfs BAMercised

Awesome stuff buddy. Voted

Can barely be called a miniature really. Leather looks spot on mate! Might need to pinch your recipe!

Dark Sea Blue is a magical colour. Up there with Ivory and my new favourite Rakarth Flesh in my most-used pile.

Sorry to hear about your gluing woes Lem. Maybe a bit of accelerator? Never used...

The right hand head on the three headed dude (the Alice Cooper one) is superb, absolute highlight of the model there!

Cap is looking awesome mate. Really like the strong contrast on the defined muscles. Nice work

Phew! So aside from the base (cheers Canny!) and a varnish, Dahyak Grekh is done.

Thanks everyone for the support. I’ve got to be honest, I still hate him, but I certainly wouldn’t have had the...

All looks great mate, and you already know my critique!

Nice to see some good quality photos of him!

Thanks all. Lem, chrome galvanisation sounds like a great idea!

7049070491

More done, more frustrations. Trying lots of things I don’t usually try with this one, and I feel like it’s biting...

Really smooth work on the skin, nice amount of contrast without overdoing it! Keep it up bud!

Agree with the others, the black background is definitely working well for this one!

Still awesome! Great mini!

Loving the grots BaM! Really looks like they’re clothed in whatever they could find. Love it

Wouldn’t want to see that thing coming down the chimney! Nice stuff man, getting more and more impressive with each passing project.

I’ll echo the others on the metallics, really nice stuff. It’s got that really nice burnished gold look. Looking forward to more updates!

I read your comment before then completely forgot to reply to it! The silver canisters are VMA, the rifle and gold armbands are Vallejo Liquid Gold.

704477044870449

Face is in progress. As I...

Still looking great Lemm! The skin continues to be really realistic

As always Curis, I am equally astounded by the painting and the background knowledge. Top stuff!

Not sure how I never realised these guys existed!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the support from you all (especially you BaM!). I’m not giving up on this one, I’ve just been really struggling for time. Lots of work and Xmas functions means...

Cyanide, the wood handle had a glaze of Vallejo skin tone ink, which gave it the rich tone. I’m trying to avoid saturated leather for him, but I’ll see how he feels when it’s all done.

...

Looking good buddy. Shame to hear about the scale75 paints, but you’ve done a good job with the oils.

Thanks Gorb. I’m still not sure what to do with them so I moved onto other things.

70284

Been a while since I’ve used proper metallics rather than nmm. Not a huge fan.
I’m struggling to keep...

Blackstone does indeed equal crackstone! Lemm, kitchen towel has always been fine for me.

I’m really not happy with the leather on the Kroot’s calves and wrist, so it’ll likely be getting a...

Awesome Bails! You can picture the scene perfectly. This guy out of options and ready to face whatever’s coming at him.

Incredible

Nice blends added to the cloak! He’s going to be awesome looking when done

Oh yeah Goblin Green! People would pay you a small fortune for that pot!

Three-Headed Fire Tummy Guy is looking awesome. Nice to see you work on something a bit bigger!

Congrats mate! It’s a shame about the dual, I thought everything on it was great, but the newer version of the leviathan is awesome and I’ve mentioned before how much I love the acolyte.

Well...

My willpower is weak! When something new and shiny comes along I have to drop everything for it. Thank god they didn’t announce a daemon primarch this weekend!

Thanks for the praise. Cyanide, I...

Congrats 10! Someone ought to do something about that pesky Swede!

If the unfortunate hadn’t have happened I’m sure the diorama would have done well!

Outstanding Lemm! Really neat work on the lettering, and it was interesting to see how the logo developed.

Nice stuff with the face too. I like the muted shadows you’ve got.

Awesome work on the stone golems. Is nice seeing these come together and they’re great sculpts!

Well the grot has gone into storage, not even close to being finished. Now all focus is on Blackstone and all the wonders inside.

70139

Making some progress with the Kroot, Dahyak Grekh. ...

Two projects showing off everything great about BaMitsu!

Wouldn’t want to go near either of these two without a biohazard suit or a good tetanus shot.

Leather looks spot on buddy! That workshop paid off.

Nice work on the flesh too!

Always hard at work aren’t you mate!

I don’t really understand how thanksgiving works, but I guess it’s slmething you wish people have a good one of. So have a good thanksgiving buddy!

Nice progress on Robby. All that gold trim is a nightmare.

Shattered base looks awesome all painted up!

I will pour one out from my Agrax Earthshade in tribute.

Full to the brim with boiled sweets and Haribo!

Is there any chance of patching it up? Such a shame mate, I feel for you!

Awwwwh, I got attached to the big guy being ginger!

Grot tank’s up to the same high standard as the others. This one getting an awesome trench base too?

Haha, thanks all. Not sure whether grots have Vaseline!
Cyanide, you’re totally right and I got a bit more green on the nose to dampen the transition a bit.

700457004670047

Photos show up the...

Coming along nicely buddy! If I didn’t already have enough to paint, the big guy with a fly-arm from this set would entice me.

The figure is still outstanding as it always was, but that basework is superb! Awesome earth tones and the wood effect is great.

Looking forward to you finishing this one!

Hahaha, that’s excellent. Love his naughty and nice book!

Excellent idea, it’ll look great painted up!

Thanks guys! Enjoying this little guy, and it’s nice being able to get decent sections of the mini done through small paint sessions.

Canny, looking forward to those bases buddy!

Zarbag! Keep him coming mate, the paintalong flows well!

Superb so far mate. Really like the texture applied to the ammo pouches.

Thanks everyone for all your comments and support. I say it all the time, but the community support keeps me going when I have off periods with the hobby.

Until Blackstone comes out next week I...

The big boi is suitably grotesque. Disgusting green drool everywhere and looks right at home next to the necron faced dudes.

A proper one-man acapella group.

Definitely a few level ups between these two deer. Really nice smooth blends and the contrast is pretty spot on. Keep it coming buddy

Superlative painting here 10! Awesome basework here too, you can definitely tell there’s a touch of Sproket in there

Those guys look like they’d be right at home in my Japanese peace lily! Nice work on the grots, love the slightly different skin tones

I’ll be following this along closely mate. Love a good bit of weathering

Looking awesome buddy! Loving the high contrast blends on this guy!
Inspired to use a fund drone for the shield too

...yep, I’m definitely getting in on this paintalong!

Hmmm, Zarbag paintalong you say? That gives me an idea...

Hey man. This is a really nicely painted little model. I’ve got a lot of time for these little chibi models.

Keep em comin!

Cracking diorama Hairster! Really nice seeing this come together

I’ve been following along on Insta but it’s better to reply here. Really outstanding Skels. I had no issue with the original head but your swap looks even better

Disgustingly beautiful as ever BaM. Awesome colour use

Gorgeous stuff as ever Andy. Loving the progression

Latest minis look great! Great use of the red across them both

The Abominant is up in my gallery at last!

Your votes would be very much appreciated.

Awesome BaM! Tones are excellent as usual

Thanks very much everyone! Expect better pictures this coming weekend and something up in the gallery.

I’ve got a nice warm 10 just ready to slap on these.

That’s a nice mini. Excited to see what you do with it

Was wondering when you’d get round to these guys! Can’t wait to see the bigger dudes

I’ll echo the two above. Great work mate, they look great all together

Thanks guys! The support on this one has been really encouraging.


Hey man. I need to take some better pictures of the mini, then I can get him up on the site.

Hairster, I’m not sure about...

Looks great. The statue is really impressive on its own, but doesn’t draw attention away from the figure

Awesome Brian. Keep em coming!

Always impressed when someone can work on a section of a model to perfection whilst other areas are just primed.

Awesome so far!

Cheers Siggy! I’d be lying if I said I’d planned the colour use in advance.

He’s finished! Low quality iPhone photos inbound!

Another gorgeous sculpt Dennis!

Awesome killteam bud. Black blends are spot on.

Magnificent base for the duel Hairster. Marble is top notch and I like the latest Insta update

Thanks everyone, honoured to have you all stopping by. Canny, they’re separate bases, the Sector Imperialis base set.

This project will be finished tomorrow! I promise!

Looking good brother! Nice work with the skin tone glazes.

Bloody hell BaM, I blink and you’re almost finished. Gribbleface is still my favourite, but they’re an outstanding unit.

Khorne dude is superb all finished up. Great contrast on him.

The goblin head is great too. Beautiful helmet.

Thanks guys! This one is nearing completion now, just in time for some new orks!

I tried to get a galvanised metal look to the hammerhead, to give it a more industrial look. The rust will be...

Voted buddy!

Good haul from the CMoN guys! Well done!

Well done dude. It’s a great board and it’s been great watching you work on it.

Superb grimdark mini. Been a long time coming but it’s great now it’s close to completion.

Looking good mate. Nice contrast between the greenish skin and pinky-purple robes. Great so far!

Well done man, very much deserved! Fine collection of orks you’ve worked on over the years

Really impressive stuff Gorb. The strength at which you’ve replicated the production model is outstanding

Hi buddy, welcome to the forum. Nice start on the mini, lovely smooth blends and a strong orange.

Keep it up!

Really enjoyed reading through that, and I learned a lot! Awesome stuff

The board looks superb buddy! Keep at it

These are great looking minis. The Oni look great finished and I’m looking forward to seeing this new one

Nice work mate. It’ll be great to see the finished board

RUFIO RUFIO RU-FI-OOOOOOOOO

Thanks for the kind words guys. It’s been a difficult week to try fit some hobby time in, and that looks set to continue for a while sadly. I’m going to try and...

Dwarf looks good! Those wraiths look like great minis too!

Nice stuff. More midtones between the shadows and highlights is where to focus on next time I think, if you want to step it up a notch

Outstanding Kuribo. They look incredible as a group.

In terms of photos, maybe take the photo from further away, then crop it. Should eliminate some of the blur

They’ll look superb on the board. I like the plume’s robbed from some dwarves too

Awesome tutorial Toad. Favourited

Great stuff. Weird seeing you tackle a mini from this century though!

Still looking awesome BaM. I particularly love the gribbly Cthulhu face.

The subtle blue tint to the flesh around the shoulders is great, and I like the light blue tone for the carapace.

Marble’s looking outstanding Hairster. Nice to see it across something as large as this statue

Man that’s a lot of pictures to get through! I’ll go in order

Grot tank! Love it. If it turns out anything like the others it’ll be superb.
Squats! Love them. Would love to see you tackle...

Voted buddy. He looks great, definitely an improvement from version 1.

CC, BaM, you’re both heroes!

6906869069690706907169072

This one’s pretty much there, until I decide to touch a few things up at the end.

Huge congrats on the birth of the littl’un buddy!

Good going mate. I’d love to see you push the shadows on the furs much further though. Get some dark browns in as a shade perhaps

Looking good mate. Orange is a pain in the arse colour to work with but you’ve done well. Nice work highlighting all those scratches too!

I was 1 when these came out! I’m not sure whether they’ve aged better or worse than me.

Thank you all so much! Your support keeps me motivated!
Kuribo, definitely a bit of a departure from my usual style. Still feeling my way around different styles until I find one to settle into.
...

Not sure I could deal with these things having any more legs. They’re already creepy enough!

The contrast and tones on the torsos is superb. Loving these!

Voted mate! Those spiders look great now, in particular the patterns on their backs

Looks great dude, keep it up!

Congrats Mally! Very well deserved

Bit of a double post as I’ve been up to a lot today.

6892268923

Followed Hairster’s colour recipe for the tabard, and completely stole the look of the armour plates from him!

Awesome to see the different techniques used to get different contrast on the various black materials. Great stuff as always Bails

They always remind me of the old Jason and the Argonauts stop-motion skeletons. Nice to see another talented painter taking a stab at them.

Big dudes are looking good Ade. Especially the armour and the verdigris on the minotaur.

What Toad said. I certainly don’t know much about painting female skin, but from what I’ve seen before you want to keep the contrast fairly light, otherwise she’ll end up looking like an Olympic...

The repaints on those spider riders are spot on. Keep it up mate

I never get tired of your updates Nakatan. Always incredible projects

Cheers all! Toad, it’s certainly getting there mate, now some of the remaining elements are based.

6891668917

Its going to to be a good hobby week now I’ve got my mojo back.

68918

Congrats Andy. Very well deserved!

Glad you had a great time

Definitely pinching some of those small cuts and veins. They look awesome! Inspiring me plenty at the minute.

Incredible how the industry is changing with the introduction of 3D printing. Excellent terrain, well done buddy

He’s looking excellent Arkaan. Nmm is pretty spot on, and those trousers are superb!

Thank a bunch guys! Lost a little bit of painting mojo this week but managed to get back into it today.

Flesh is more or less there. I’ll probably glaze some reds into the hands...

Superb Dennis! The goblin is sitting on my desk ready to be painted, really nice sculpt!

Looks great man. The contrast is spot on and the colour use really suits being outside in midday sun, as he clearly is

Sycotic, these are awesome mate. Really impressive group shot

Rusty metal is looking spot on. These guys need to take better care of their equipment.

Looks awesome Hairster. Really gorgeous light placement.

Nice smooth painting on the skin Eki. Keep it up

I always learn something interesting from your posts Curis. Gorgeous stuff as ever, and the background knowledge is brilliant.

Had a few laughs too

Really beautiful scenes Toad, especially considering the scale.

The deathwatch guys look great. I’d say knocking those 5 out in 14 hours is really impressive, really smooth and clean.

I promise myself things all the time. But here I am with a big box full of unfinished miniatures and a desk drawer with two Imperial knights in, hiding from the dust.

But seriously dude, the...

So I’ve run out of wet palette paper until Amazon delivers some more. Which is a shame because I was just about to start those purple hands and feet which have been bugging me for a while.

In the...

Voted buddy. You know how much I love these Nurgle guys so the score shouldn’t be too much of a mystery!

Nice to see the blue carapace going down too! You, Hairster and I are all going to have...

I like the clean look. Gives a bit of an ethereal effect, obviously a scene of destruction but with no obvious cause.
As always, incredibly good stuff

Nice to see this coming together Graishak. It’ll look superb when done

Looking great mate! Really awesome and unique stuff

I like the way you’ve composed the scene. I have a soft spot for the sylvaneth so I’m looking forward to seeing your completed board

Beautiful! Excellent scene, really magnificent mate

Looks good buddy. How are you finding oils? I’ve always been tempted to try them out on a larger figure that’s quite fleshy (great unclean one for example)

Voted buddy. The score when I looked wasn’t at all representative of the quality of painting. I think you’ve suffered unnecessarily from the sculpt there and people aren’t looking past it to the...

AJ, KB, cheers you guys! A bit disgusting is exactly the sort of thing I’m going for.
BaM, what can I say? I learnt most of what I know about tone from you and Hairster.

Sadly it’s going to be...

Looking awesome so far matey. I like how early you define things like the cut on the arm and the dribbling tongue. Very naturalistic tone so far too!

The stealer hybrid still looks great buddy. Love the texture you’ve added to the carapace on the arm (I might rob that)

Love watching the way you develop flesh. I’ve got a lot to learn from that.

As Hairster said, the new gellerpox Nurgle guys looks like they’d be great with the BaM treatment

Getting there! Putting in a bit of a shift today on him.

Cheers Hairster. He’s a good character model and he’s keeping me entertained.
Purple and red tones inked in on the skin. He’ll start...

I wouldn’t put it past you mate!

6864268643

Getting there with the dungarees. Bit of an attempt to paint texture like denim, but definitely need more practice.

The bust is outstanding Mally! Nice to see you back at work mate. Really nice, and I love the Theo bust. We don’t deserve our pets, they’re too good for us

Nice to see the Minotaur close to completion, looks great buddy. The ganger looks solid too, in particular the red. And excellent work on the base, one of the best I’ve seen of those Necromunda...

Bust looks great, but I’m really impressed by that work on the stormcast shield. Awesome stuff Kretch

In an effort to try and compete with BaM’s ludicrous work rate, I got a quick wash on the flesh and based the clothing before heading in to work for the day. Got a whole weekend to focus on this guy...
