BfSP box, Dark Elves, Warmaster and various other stuff - by sigur

[sigur]

@Crazy Harborc: Good to know you're still on board.


Smallish update:






C&C welcome as always but I'll be asleep for the next few hours.


edit: they are darker in real life.



edit: I HATE PAINTING HORNS! GAH! It's tedious, useless crap and slows everything down SO much.

[Bennonator]

well i think they look awesome!

even tho they are all armour they are not boring.. nicely done!

[sigur]

@Bennonator: Thanks.

A few details on the Lord added:




....and some more on the knights:






Hope you like everything. On the Greek front, I finished painting all the hoplites (the spears of the front ranks weren't finished) and I drybrushed the bases. Need to add the static grass now and then they're finished.

C&C welcome!

[Darkritual]

Realy nice and clean! i like them!

[sigur]

@Dark Ritual: Thanks, it's about time I finally finish stuff again.

I have the Chosen almost finished, the Knights almost finished, the Lord on Daemonic and horse-looking steed was finished last night and these Chaos Hounds also are about 60% finished.

But first I will focus on the Greeks so I got those off the table.

[Aulbath]

Seeing those knights, I really... REALLY would like you to tackle my Space Hulk Terminators... LIKE REALLY!

[sigur]

@Alubath: Thanks. I'd also much rather paint these awesome characters rather than endless hordes of horned metal dudes.


Hey thar, I finished the last two units of Greeks today and based the whole lot:



I think I should add something to the Hoplites though; The front ranks should get some finishing highlights on the shields. Not sure if I'll do that now though, I feel a little headach-y and weird as I always do after using static grass on lots of miniatures and I don't want to stir up even more of the stuff by going back and fiddling around with the minis before the glue dried and I can remove excess grass.


edit: baaah, humbug. Did the finishing touches anyway, Greeks are finished now and the room's covered evenly in static grass.

[Lord Azoth]

OMFG!! I´m amazed you painted all of them..when I painted my plaque (only 12) I almost got mad!!...

CONGRATZ!

[mrtn]

I can see why you'd want to pay a poor Austrian to paint all of those...

Looking good.

[sigur]

@Lord Azoth: Sorry, what plague are you talking about? Is that some sort of ancient formation?

@mrtn: Thanks. It will take some time until I do something like that again. But then, I currently have real doubts of being able to ever make this whole commission painting thing "work" for me.

Aaaaaaanyway, here's the finished Chosen. The level of detail on these guys is insane.


Ranked up (a thing that isn't easy to achieve):



A better view:


And a shot from the back:


Hope you like them, I'll put them into the glass cabinet now so they may collect dust.

[Crazy Harborc]

First, the Greeks.......GOOD GRIEF!! WOW EVEN!!

Now, The Chosen....Rank up too??!! Beats the heck out of how mine looked. Mine were those old fashioned plastic ones too.

[Lord Azoth]

really beautiful unit, your metallics look awesome

[Dino]

Your chaos warrior army is comming along nicely. I can't decide whether I like the chaos knights or the chosen. They both look just plan awsome. Keep it up man.

[sigur]

@Crazy Harborc: Heya, thanks for replying. Took some trial and error and some shifting to get these guys ranked up.What old plastics were your chosen? The first "regiment box" ones with the hunchbacks and the metal parts to make the champ/musician/standard bearer? Or the monopose chaos warrior dudes from Heroquest? Happy Birthday by the way. I hope you had a look at your bday thread in teh Wastes by now.

@Lord Azoth: Thanks. I think the Vallejo wash I'm using on silvery metallics works a bit better than Badab Black in this case.

@Dino: Thank you. I'll upload pictures of the finished Chaos Knights as soon as possible. There's some gig I have to attend tonight, otherwise I could have finished them today. So maybe it will take one more day until I have them finished. But be sure that they're well on their way.

So, Chaos Knights are well on their way to getting finished. I also started painting the crew and horses of the first chariot. Regular Chariot horses were replaced with horses from the new chaos knights set.

[sigur]

Righty, knights are finished:












Will gladly read your C&C.

Glad I got these off my table. Next up: Chariot!

[Dino]

Yea still can't decide which I like more. The knights look really sweet. Can't wait to see the chariot.

[Aulbath]

I am pretty damn sure, this army will win lots of "best painted" in Tournaments... I am looking forward to the chariot - will you do conversion work on that one, or are you going to take one of those 5th edition chariot straight out of the box?

[sigur]

@Dino: Thanks.

@Alubath: As I'm told, this army is going to be fielded at a big tournament so I hope they better win "best painted". As I wrote earlier, it's basically the old chariot right out of the box but with the horses replaced with Chaos Knights horses.

Here's a first WIP:



So you see what I'm heading for with the thing. Painting has been a bit slow today because I didn't get enough sleep. Will get more stuff done tomorrow, maybe I'll be even able to finish the chariot tomorrow night.

C&C welcome!

[Crazy Harborc]

My Chaos Knights and Warriors were/are a mix of old, old (smaller too) metal and plastic ones.

I have a fair number of them from The Battle Master game. They are halberd bearing warriors. I also bought boxes of the multi-part plastic ones Ranking them up was real fun. The knights were a big thrill too.

[Dino]

Chariot looks of to a good start. can't wait to see it on the base.
