Nicely done and voted. Really turned out well.

Ambitious project. Nicely done.

Now are you going to paint it up for us?

Agreed, the background really pulls the story together. Lovely.

Absolutely gorgeous. Great use of lighting.

Tabletop Minios posted a video asking different artist six questions at Adepticon including our very own BAM. Great to see you in this John. https://youtu.be/f_EPlTicgsA

The green trimming against the reddish browns makes for a pleasing color scheme.

Very beautiful piece. It is really coming together.

That yellow really pops with the black lining and crisp highlights. The freehand battle damage really adds to the piece as well.

The metallics on the armor are nice and shiny. Not sure what this beast is, but it looks scary.

The variety in the chaos warhounds is creating a nice unit.

Loving your moot minis. Very characterful. Redbeard is my favorite.

I like that dark red. Might be worth a couple final points of brighter highlight. Like a point on the tip of the shoulder pads and maybe a spot on one or two of the upper folds of the cape

That is awesome. So happy for you.

Sadly I got a passive aggressive response when I suggested going to Adepticon, so didn’t make up. Did see your Bloodbowl team in a Youtube video someone had...

Awesome looking crew you have here.

How did Adepticon go?

I appreciate your insights on the oils. I have been looking at the Youtube vids of people using them for “black lining” and am tempted to give it a shot for some table top minis. Your works suggests...

Cool project.

And after listening to you and BAM, I will not complain about my football injuries again.

Wow, you are getting some insanely vibrant colors. Your blends continue to get closer and closer to flawless.

Nice work. Those chaos dwarves are really cool sculpts.

Very nice and love the smooth transition on the yellow shoulder pads.

The diorama is really cool and Like CyAniDe’s suggestions.

interesting to here about the shoulder surgery. I discussed this with my Dr recently and decided to put it off until I get myself in...

I agree. A very pleasing style that would be a joy to play against on the table

Agree great progress on the green skin and grimy metals.

A cool departure for you….or does she have a katana in that other hand?

Awesome to see you continuing to-get recognized. I enjoy the subtle mixing of the blue and pink on the genestealers. Seems much more organic than you usually see.

And those orks are really...

So much great work since I checked in last. And such improvement on the mini from its 2015 state.

I absolutely love the vampire you did and the black and white bust is mesmerizing. Glad I stopped...

Outstanding productivity.

I particularly like that Rouge idol. Is it a 3D print.?

Loving the power armor bust and the mermaid diorama. And happy New Year.

On the fence at this point. We do have a room reserved, but have not registered at Adepticon. Waiting to see with my State of IL ends up on COVID at this point year old vaccinated which is currently...

That dreadnaught is disgusting…..keep it up!:beerwave:

Love the muted colors and glad your kid is giving you time to still paint.

Your work continues to impress.

Nice. I especially like the freehand battle damage.

I really like your palette for the undead. The browns/brass really look good with the red cloth.

The green glow is mesmerizing.

Sauce eror?? Delicious. :lol:

Thumbs up on the plume.

Isee what you say with the runes…They definitely don’t come off as glowing. It looks like they are shaded a bit like nmm. To glow they should have a consistent brightness...

That shading is very nice.

Best wishes with your dad.

very cool. Thanks for sharing the progress.

Nice. Are you going to paint her up?

I like the play of color on the metal balls.

Really nice progress. Good to see you back on the forum.

Very nice. I really like these.

I think you need something more with the horse hair. Maybe a bit of one of your other colors in the highlight?

I swear you have really leveled upon your recent minis. And with impressive speed.

Cool. I love the base and the green tint to the teeth.

Wow, that is gorgeous.

Wow. It is great to see the difference between the yellow lighting and the blue. The change to blue improved this 100 times. Very nice.

I like the Mage from Darksword. If you go with Malek get the metal version. I just did the Bones version and the cast was atrocious.

Agree. The splashes of red from the plants looks good.

Those reds are luscious.

Those Zombicide minis turned out great.



I-haven’t seen an answer to this yet. Very frustrating turn of events.

Definitely frustrating state of affairs. The Reaper forum is very active, but your are not going to get any constructive feedback to improve to a high levelas the focus of that forum is entirely on...

I am stuck on the lovely wings, but the breath is nice too.

Cool. The carapace really turned out nice.

Turned out beautiful. Thanks for including the group shot. It really emphasizes how awesome a hobbiest you are.

Voted. Nice. I assume this isn’t the Bones version as I see details I can’t make out on that version setting on my desk.

The metal giant skeleton is nice too. What is your formula for painting...

Well, that is depressing. Just checked my wip and all the pictures are gone there too. Makes me not want to update anything.

I wonder if cmon is trying to get this forum to die? Would jive with...

The stone face is amazing. Are you doing anything with the tomb stone? The major face looks too smooth and pristine compared to the degradation around it.

Looking suitably disgusting BAM.

Nice cohesive scheme.

The forum mechanics are also needing an update, which I do not see happening. I have posted a few table top m8nis on Reapers forum as it is easier to use. But the skill level and helpful criticism...

Thanks they are looking really nice.

Dang, I need to find a friend to take pictures for me. They look awesome.

What scale are these?

LOL. I can understand that sentiment completely. The minis look nice.

These look awesome. Thanks for sharing.

. Good question. Are you behaving yourself? LOL :brushlick:

You haven’t lost as much as you think. It looks good to me.

photos I can’t help you with. I feel my photograph skills have gotten worse the last few years.

The orange of the pumpkins adds a nice punch of color.

Nice selection of schemes. I think I like the two on the right the most.

I like it. Now you need one on his downward trajectory.

Agree. Nice to see more non GW minis represented beautifully on the forum.

Beautifully cohesive paint scheme across the unit. Abyst is one of my favorite Reaper minis.

Cool. It is like the just pulled up off a forest floor.

Nice. Your daughter has good taste. Liking the orange highlights and no idea on the name.

This turned out great. The blues are stunning.

It is great that you are able to share parts of the hobby with your son. My eight year old son is starting to get into board games high is exciting. Keep your spirits up and go where your current...

I like the patch of checkering on his cape. And nice looking stalagmite.


(StalagTITEs hang on Tight to the ceiling :bashful:)

You got that internal red glow down. Very nice

Nice print and paint job.

They turned out pretty neat.

Nice and voted. I particularly like the bashers and ardcaps.

Impressive set of armies.

The flagellants with the blonde hair give the group some nice pop.

Nice work as usual. How many armies do you have built up?

I like the scheme and love the cube of learning concept.

Very nice. You have a knack for vivid colors.

. I agree. Liking the red.

All very cool. I really like the patterns on the wizards clothes.

I like the blue scheme and the cannon vignette is really nice

Nice work with the various free hands.

That dwarf doesn’t look too happy.

Awesome. Can’t wait to see it painted up.

I am thinking even darker with coal black for most of the highlight. Use the gray of the headstone for the brightest highlights. I am thinking of the forest from Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow.

Very nice unit

Cool. I like all the rings and discs tied into his beard.

Nice painting. Good to see you back.

I was unimpressed with this model.....until you put some paint on it. Very cool. The head shading and highlights against the grungy teeth really look nice.

Your patience and attention to detail continue to amaze me.

Maxxxx has some good suggestions. The only thing that seems it could use darkening on the right side of the face is the inside of the ear. Based on your lighting source the inside ear seems lighter...

There are various optical visors online. The no brand one I bought has three lenses and a crappy light and it has been really helpful over the past five plus years. When I am painting terrain (or...

The transitions to the pink in the skin is nice.

The tattoos look really good.

“Bye Kitty” is pretty cool.

I think the chin/lower jaw are a little too masculine it seems. If you adjust that it would come across as more feminine. But it is a a neat character as is.

Dang...well applied then ::):

This is a beautiful and cohesive unit. I love the detail on the leaders shield.

Cool, but I think he needs a giant cigar :devil:

Looking at what Battlefoam has for Rivet Wars might be a good place to start. https://us.battlefoam.com/rivet-wars-kit-for-p-a-c-k-720-bfl/

Welcome to the forum and back to the hobby. As MrNoNameSoldier said their are a lot of good article listed up top to help you improve. Just let everyone know what you are hoping to accomplish and you...

LOL ::):

The highlight looks too real. I really like the gold upper feathers against the dark blue/purple lower feathers.

Nice scheme for the skin.



lol ::): I have to keep it in a closet for a similar reason as my 8 year old is creeped out by the box. I didn’t back during the KS, but after playing in a mini...

Your Blood Bowl team will look great on the table. Very nicely done.

Nice start on the HATE mini. I really enjoy that game. This one must be from a faction we haven’t used yet. He looks pretty sweet

Lol. Very humorous and well executed.

This is a gorgeous unit.

Voted. Looks nice. If you want to amp it up you could push the highlights on the upper surfaces.

Cool. I really like the results you are getting with the accelerated painting style.

Nice I have both versions, but other than doing inventory, I haven’t put paint on any. Too many toys and too little time.

You have really leveled up since I have been away.

:victory: You have painted some awesome minis the past few months. Your wolfen is one of the best takes I have seen on the mini.

This troll is turning into something really special. But for me the...

That Hellboy really is looking nice. Is that the game plastic or the resin version from Mantic?

You are a madman. That paper tank is awesome. But the best thing is the cottage for your kids to play with. I love that sharing of the hobby with the next generation.

Nice work. Your painting is very nice. Love the 3D printing route of the most recent minis. Can’t wait to see some paint on Iron Man.

Damn, last I checked your WIP you were getting about done with Death Dealer. You have painted some really gorgeous pieces of art since then. I have been drooling looking at all the textures and...

Nice. I like the scheme. (Inflate gate on those balls....;))

Thoughts for improvement-

Bases, go with your thoughts. Also leave some bare patches of ground or clumps of sod. The marking lines...

Nice start. Did you ever finish the finger flipping orc?

Looking sweet. Your bases are major eye candy and adding the minis to create the diorama is just icing on the cake.

I don’t think you are that far off. You seem to be on the edge of getting it. If you can get into a hands on class your learning curve will accelerate.

Nice big jump in progress. The fingers are much less creepy now :nailbiting:

The red cloth is nice. The transition going into the shadows on the back doesn’t look as smooth as the front though. I...

No kidding. I am ready for some conventions. I have had the opposite problem than most of you due to COVID. Considered essential, I have only been out of the plant a few days during the past years....

Oh my. I start on page 40 a few minutes ago and think, “if ekipage would figure out eyes his minis would look several levels better”. Then a couple pages later....holy crap. Eki has eyes down. That...

Wow wow wow! Nice to checkin on an old friends WIP. You have been very productive my friend and congrats on the Figure Mentor recognition. It is well deserved.

I love the Ultramarine...

Damn, Anew Jocelyn thread while I was away. Sorry to hear about the job, but these lady’s you are painting are all beautiful pieces of art.

The intro demo was strikingly different from you and it...

It has been a joy reading through the past nine months of updates. Such improvement. Your busts are amazing and even though I haven’t been on the forums much, getting a ToadChapel update in my email...

Wow, it has been a year since I checked in and your work is still Awesome. Last I looked you had started an elephant head and you turned it into a beautiful vignette. Then you kept it coming with the...

Delightfully weird. The flame hair is nice.

So much cool stuff going on. Congrats to you and BAM getting recognized in White Dwarf.

I have been gone too long, but luckily when I come back I see a bunch of BAM awesomeness. It is appropriate that I just got talked into playing in a Blood Bowl league a few weeks ago. First time I...

Nice diorama, but I really like the minotaur. Nice base and metals. .

Yup, that metallic red looks nice. Really liking your take on these dino riders.

Great work on the colossal squig. The colors look great on him. It does seem the claws are a little too clean though. I wouldn’t change it, but something to think about in the future.

Btw, I love...

That Ogre diorama is butt kicking. And congrats on the nice print. I like my resin printer, but have not had time to mess with it for a while.

Ditto. This looks awesome. You can’t tell it is a paper scratch built with primer on it.

Didn’t we see that video at Crystal Brush a few years ago? :doh:

Practice good hygiene guys and avoid being one of the bat shit crazy people hoarding resources and spreading panic (that would be better if they shut down facebook). It had started calming dow, but...

The aged look you have achieved on the bust is top notch work.

Definitely my favorite of yours. Your simple paint job is very appropriate and gives it a comic vibe.

Voted. Love this cold and bloody vignette. BAM at his best.

Looking great Toad. Based on the awesome highlights on the nose and cheeks, the top of the head doesn’t seem to have enough highlight. I also like BAM’s liver spot idea. Btw, the granny vignette is...

Damn Andy you are knocking these subtle skin variations out of the park. The elephant head and beast man bust are simply beautiful works of art.

Hope you and yours are staying safe across the...

Nice start on the squig. I really like Boingrot and the texture on the face of the troll is sweet!

Congrats on Drogar and the Conan vignette. Both are gorgeous jobs. Nice start on the death dealer. Such an iconic figure will look great with your style.

BAM. Bummed to not catch these guys at Adepticon as I was needing a break from the chaos of work. Anyways, I am really loving the new guys. Especially that weird fish/bull headed thing.

I am sure...

Can’t help with the gold, but had to say the gobbo’s candy cane gun makes me smile.

Like the skin tones, but they are screaming zombie skin to me at the moment instead of Nurgle.

Very cool “unintentional” diorama.

Voted. Love the gritty and dynamic feel of the vignette.

WOW! All very cool. The base is really cool and the little guy is awesome.

But,but,but, that sheep rider is a work of beauty. All the free hand, bird poop, and to me the extremely realistic work...

[QUOTE=Kallfa;889456]This flying moon is a great idea ! And your loonshrine already have a nightmarish look. You make me want to create mine later :D.[/QUOTE I agree. A very haunting construct.

Nice. Your paint wear and damage is very well done.

Some awesome work Sik. Your freehand is outstanding and I love the reds on this most recent mini.

Beautiful work as usual. A real joy to see your micro freehand and metallics.

Welcome to the forum. The cloak is really looking nice.

As for the air brush, if the clogging is mostly when you use the apple barrel point it may be because they use a larger pigment.

I love your style Kalifa. Lots of vibrant colors, but applied to achieve a very muted overall look. Really pleasing to look at, especially combined with the attention to detail of the bases.

And...

Nice work on both of these. You seemed to have leveled up in your skill since I have been off the forums the past three months.

The stylized painting on the bust is neat and the snow globe will be cool. I thought they just used glitter for the snow, so I may be learning something here.

And congrats on the new toy ::):

Going well. Trying to get caught up on everyone’s threads as I am daddy daycare this week. Actually A nice change from the crazy work commitments I have been on the past six months.

Lovely work on the angry Smurf Andy. You’r not going to put an ultramarine tattoo on his arm and spoil it are you?

Great productivity Graishak. I am really liking your undead from a few pages back.

Good start on the tavern Toad. I also like where you are going with the Frankie monster.

Long time no comment (20+ pages worth!!). These barbarians are a work of art. Great progress BAM. I got a room for Adepticon, so can't wait to see these in person.

And best wishes to your...

Love the stage curtain. The final adjustments were a big improvement.

congrats on finishing the super hero diorama.

He turned out pretty cool

Very cool. Love the sepulchral guard and the bone on the chariot looks great.

Love the power generator and the tyranid looks pretty cool.

Welcome to the forum. The faceless horror is great mini to practice eyes on. Also donkt worry about the mold lines on the small Bones minis as they are a real pain in the rear to remove. Something to...

Wow. You achieved some really eerie beauty with this one. Congrats.

This is awesome Hairster. Love the texture on the “hair” and the building reflections are super cool.

Yeah, more bigature goodness from Cassar! Awesome work.

I am really liking what you are doing with this one Andy. Very nice textures.

Nice work as usual.

Very effective color transitions on a horrific looking creature.

The skaven is cool and the other guy is rather disgusting.

Welcome to the wip forum. Your work is solid and I think you have leveled up above the novice level. :). As Ekipage alluded to, you will hear a lot of advice on improvement and one of those is to...

This definately looks like it will be a fun diversion.

These guys look BAM good ;)

The head on that first guy is eerie and well executed.

You have got this. It is definitely already developing some character.

Love all the little color nuances you work into the paint-the purple in the elbows, the blue in the shadows of the red, etc...

That is the truth.

Voted.

The giant turned out great.

Those blades look great.

Lol....this made my day and I am glad you found it.

Good to seethe wise cautious approach to applying resin.

The diorama is looking great...but I think Bob Ross would say that tree need a Happy Friend! Lol.

Your sculpting just keeps getting better and better.

I will echo the sentiment...your ‘nid is COOL! Lovin’ the skin pattern and it is really complimented by the base.

Congrats on the competition. It really is a nice piece.

Great progress on the hobbit.

For the lighting put some parchment paper around the light and see if that diffuses it better for pictures.

The squig cave diorama looks great. Can’t wait to see more progress on the next piece.

Pretty cool. Welcome to the wips.

ROFL! :D Best snarky comment of the day.

The 5 o’clock shadow on the face looks good.

Awesome tanks BAM!



Agreed. Looking at these and after recently playing the CMON game Hate, I would love to see what you could do with the awesome barbarian minis from that game.
