Thousand Sons Dreadnought, Warhammer 40k
I have painted dozens of dreadnoughts over the years, but I think this one will always be my favorite. I think Reaper Amethyst remains a key element to my Thousand Sons color mixes.

Custom made Sci-fi bases
We probably get more questions about how we do our bases than anything else. I enjoy creating bases and painting them as much, if not more, than working on the miniatures themselves.
Typically I create marble style bases that allow me to quickly create a theme for a specific army via the color of the marble and its freehand/markings. The flat surface also makes it very easy to put almost any kind of miniature on it. That is a common flaw of most base designs. Can't get a miniature on it. I see it over and over and over again.
They look fantastic, but there is almost no way to get any sort of mini on them! In our basing seminars at Adepticon, we would hear numerous horror stories from folks who were just in the dealer's room purchasing a set of 5-10 bases, only to discover that they could only use half of them, or even less!
This was a set of sci fi bases I made for myself years ago. I can't count how many I have done since. But, this should provide and very good illustration of what I mean. I used sculpey, plasticard, random bits, straws, polystyrene tubes, you name it!

Chaos Dwarf Blood bowl team
Yet another Blood Bowl team that I don't even remember painting! I do recall setting up some of the action shots in the big stadium. The color scheme was very fun, and quite bright. It was a bit of an homage to my friend Chuck's Chaos Dwarf team. Besides, he is the one who got me started with Blood Bowl in the first place!
On to the pictures:
These hobgoblins have some of the brightest fleshtones I have ever tried on green skin. Usually it is far more muted.
Here are those action shots:

Warhammer 40K Demonhunters: gallery #2
My Demonhunter army was pretty heavy on Inquisitors and Retinue, so there were a fair amount of minis required... Acolytes, servitors, mystics, and the like. this is another collection of those very useful miniatures.
