    As always, thanks a lot for the back-up guys.

    It makes a big different to keeping going when I get positive feedback from the site :D

    Thanks buddy!

    Wow! These turned out so good. I love the way the Taur-ruk's skin came out in the end. They're a very impressive unit.

    I'm sorry you didn't make it to the top 3. You should still be very proud of the unit though.

    The skin on what I'm guessing is the unit champion (I don't know anything about Chorfs) looks awesome! Did you use one of the gw crackle paints to get that effect?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I used Mordant Earth. I liked the effect so much on my Fireborn bases and then it suddenly hit me that this is the way I can make a REALLY distinctive Champion for the unit. (Interchangeable as the Hero.)

    I sneaked over and checked out the contest. I could tell which one was yours and thought you were going to place top 3 for sure. That said, I agree that, based on your initial concerns about your painting skill, the honorable mention should be a positive indicator of your creativity and improving painting ability. Bravo, my good Lizard!

    I am first off, your Chaos Dwarves and Giant are PHENOMENAL and I can't believe you didn't place AT LEAST 3rd in your competition - it must have been stiff (and by the sounds of it you were very close!)

    Id honestly take the honorable mention as a bigger win than a medal in someways, do you know how rare an honorable mention is? So, mad congrats regardless, that's a huge win and I really hope you take it that way too.

    Honestly, seeing these pictures, and even if I knew nothing about you I would (and did think), "wow, dude must do commission's or something", because I truly feel these are that incredible.

    Great work man. Without nit picking I can't really see anything wrong with them, love em.

    Side note: what background fabric did you use? I love that there is *no* glare.

    Thanks a lot Suds. This means a lot coming from you!

    The background is a black plastic clipboard and the top of a black fridge :D Somehow it works!

    @Lizards of Renown : How did you create the nice effect on the armour?

    My metals often look a little be too uniform.

    :)

    So I undercoated black, then I drybrushed Hashut Copper. Like a LOT of dry brushing. I did this quite thoroughly but specifically left it looking patchy. Then I did raised portions in a dark gold (I think I used Balthazar Gold) which gave it a nice depth.

    It worked out well. Gives it an interesting effect. Feels like the giant has seen some battle, waged some war and crushed the enemies of Hashut!

    Some thread necromancy going on here (not it's a bad thing, especially when resurrecting @Lizards of Renown 's glorious thread!) :)
