    Some more progress, remember this guy?

    Still need to touch him up a bit, and fluff is still to come.

    Also was inspired by this thread, here's my (as yet unpainted) take:

    And finally another old-blood conversion, the pose didn't quite reach the heights I envisioned for it, but I think it still looks cool:

    C & C welcome as always, and I wish I were a better painter haha

    Very nice, liking what I see - for me it’s all in the pose! Those angles count for a lot, they give the model character and a glimpse into how they would behave in real life (clunky and slow, smooth and fast or just brutal and bloody) you can defo see this in these guys A+ sir, paint schemes look good but I’d say maybe practise a bit on some more mundane models to get the right look before applying to your hard work - don’t want any regrets (it also helps speed up your future work) again the colours can help bring out some character as well.
    Keep it up, love seeing other people’s minds at work.

    That my friend is really good, like it a lot - take time painting it, plan out what you want it to look like and do it justice :)

    Been far too long since I've posted, but I have a ton of projects in the pipeline (probably too many :oops:)

    Here's my latest painting attempt, it of course doesn't compare to the incredible work on most of this forum, but I feel I'm making progress, maybe?

    Still have to do the base of course, but so it goes.

    Also couldn't resist doing more conversion work, so here's where I'm at on my next project, a Stegadon riding Oldblood, with a big ol' crossbow!

    IMG_20190507_100757.jpg
    IMG_20190507_100809.jpg

    I'm going to magnetize him so I can have him on foot as well, and I'm planning a holster for his great weapon on the steg/on his back when on foot.

    Hope you all enjoy!

    [Edit: Here his on foot, his base is still WIP and so is his mount :(]
