    Great paint job for a great set of models! Are they fun to paint?

    Great fun! I enjoyed every moment. And I really need to enlist for another set or two... now that I only have two of them left to paint... ;)

    Sounds like a plan... the only issue is that massive wait time. (I'm not a very patient Slann) :cool:

    Oh yes, that's kind of a problem... but I still got some cold ones and guards to finish... and skunks, a stegadon, terrains... rippers... a lot of stuff to fill the time of waiting...;)
    Thanks! I really can't believe it's my work, too. ;):p

    Didn't manage to take proper pictures of the colosus today... leaves the opportunity to finish the base before showing him to you... but I played around with a single stormcast eternal I got with a magazine I got for free in the store end of last year... I call him Lord ambassador... as he might be the only stormcast model in my collection for some time... tried to give him appropriate colors for a sigmarine ambassador dealing with my seraphon/lizardmen...
    I know it's no match to colossal pictures but I hope you like him... ;)

    It's basecoat only at the moment... well and the undercoat for the metals... took hold for the usual yellow... but that's the same in heraldic, anyway...;):cool:

    He looks like his scales are armor. Amazingly painted, your highlights look perfect to me :artist:

    Well well look at that @tom ndege

    It's been a long journey but I think you should be very proud of that paint job, I think it is time for you to venture out on your own, consider yourself no longer a youngling. :spiderman:

    Just some WIP of two new (ok... it's the third time I try to paint this priest model in a way I'm satisfied with... but it's the start of the third attempt...) side projects I started recently...
    A saurus leader for a big block of warriors...
    20170215_211456.jpg 20170215_211508.jpg 20170215_211522.jpg
    And star priest number 2, attempt number 3:
    20170215_211405.jpg 20170215_211425.jpg 20170215_211437.jpg
    Though I'm grown up now, any tips, c&c or other kinds of help and inspiration are very much appreciated! ;):cool:

    I like how you painted the feathers on that skink priest, and the blue face is a great color scheme contrast with the rest of the brown.

    Poor priest... got shot from behind...

    If someone could explain my unlogical and impractical habit to always finish the scales first, when painting this model(s), I would like to know... ;)

    Will probably build a light box or something in the near future... need to enhance the quality of my pictures...
    Next post will be the colors I used on the different parts of the model...

    Nothing wrong with doing scales first especially if you drybrush, it gives you a clear sense of what colours to use.

    I'm just building 40 skinks for my new AOS core and I'm going blue/dark green and orange with a twist, scales are the only part I have not worked out yet.
