By the Old Ones!
These are really gorgeous models!
You must be proud.

Awesome!

Nice!

Thank you all
I should have a 2nd unit filler finished in the next couple of days (waiting on water effects to dry). I've got 8 more TG painted but not based yet so I'll be working on them too.

Been slowly plugging away some Temple Guard. Finished off this unit filler today.

Great work again!! The swamp surroundings bring the Temple Guard alive even more.
I love the work on the scales

Grrr, Imrahil

I made it using some wood and greenstuff using the aztec GSW roller.

Thanks man! The bases are the most fun part tbh haha

Here's the first batch of 8 Temple Guard to go with the unit fillers. I think I might need a pallet cleanser project before painting more of these.

Seriously impressive. Maintaining your standard of painting while doing multiple models. Hats off to you!

Thank you both! The only problem is that I've set that standard now for the other 30 I have to paint haha

the ones you are going to put at the center of the block may be of.... lower quality.

That is all awesome man!!! Great detail and colorscheme

Grrr, Imrahil

Love your temple guard, they are great models and your painting brought them to life!

As I've said your army looks great. The colours are such a great example of a well-chosen contrasting triad!

Spoiler: Unrequested feedback

The only thing I'd comment upon is the fact that the bases may be too colourful and take attention away from the models themselves (I'm particularly referring to your block of 40, but as per the pic where they are all arranged the compactness of the saurii covers a little of the bases and I feel it isn't too distracting).
I don't know If you noticed this already because the bases of the temple guard only include green tufts, which I think looks a lot better; but I felt I'd comment on it anyway because I always like to receive feedback.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I have started to tone down the amount of colour on the bases a bit now, but as you say once they're ranked up you can't see too much of it anyway. I'll still be using the odd flower tuft but not on all the bases

Wow they look so good! very inspiring work

Here's the final minis of 2021. A 2nd unit of Phase 2 Clone Troopers. I did a couple of quick conversions on this unit to distinguish them a bit.

 

[Explodingzeb]

Here's everything I painted in 2021. 120 minis across 3 armies (plus 2 random Dark Angels Space Marine). I'm happy with my output this year even if I didn't manage to get everything I wanted to paint done.
Hopefully 2022 will be as productive. Happy new year everyone!
