Celebrity Dreadfleet project: Adepticon Charity auction 2012

This ship is my contribution to the Celebrity Dreadfleet project: Adepticon Charity auction 2012.  My wife painted the command vessel of the evil forces, the Bloody Reaver.  My task was the lead good guy ship, hailing from the Empire.

They were some very interesting figures to paint... quite different from anything else I have tried previously, which is saying something!  It was a tiny bit like BFG in a way.   Both ships had to be painted in many individual parts prior to assembly.

Flamers of Tzeentch

This is a bit of an 'alternate' color scheme for flamers.  Man I hate these things... they always seem to get off 30+ shots, and I can't kill the buggers!

Wood elf sorceress on giant owl

Here is a fun monster which I painted for CoolMiniorNot last year.  It is one of several, which I will be posting.  The creatures are resin, and a decent quality.  The riders are usually metal.

Now to the images!

A collection of Gamezone Chaos Minis

Here are some Gamezone Chaos minis that I painted recently:

Primaris Psyker

I painted this mini back when it was first released with the new Imperial Guard codex... lots of character!

A reworked Imperial Guard squad : bases & backpacks

I just finished altering a squad of IG veterans, putting them on new bases and giving them some Secret Weapon produced backpacks. The bases are by DragonForge.

Here is the squad now:






Here is what the squad looked like prior to the change.  You can see how different the bases are (these are ones I sculpted myself), and how the backpacks change the feel of the squad.



I found some WIP images of that squad as I was working on it.  Here is an early stage, not long after my 'shaded basecoat' technique. You can see that I begin with a middle tone and make colors lighter.



The next stage, with glazing and tinting:
