A bit of a better shot of him.

Love that pose!

Looks great man! I tried stealing this pose for my most recent DC dread!

What's the bolter in bolter 4 from? As always your detail work is fantastic!

[appiah4]

Pretty damn good, though a brighter layer of edge highlights on all green laurels and purity seals would significantly improve the models I feel.

Hey Xenith!  I'm new to this forum so I just digested all 16 pages of this thread in one go.  It's really cool seeing the evolution of your painting skills over this time.  Nice work.

Hey, thanks! The bolter is a betrayal at calth bolter with the muzzle cut off, and a piece of brass rod attached, cheapo sniper bolter!

Noted, I'd shaded them will go back and pick out the laurels on that squad leader (after he achieves something in game)

Thanks very much, Rocmistro! It's flattering that you would go through it all! I think i'm really starting to push myself with every squad, to do that last layer of highlights, when my body is telling me to stop...

[Quixus]

Those devastators look fantastic.

 

Is bolterdude 4 overcompensating for something? ;)

 

I think the lascannon would look even better if you painted the part of the barrel sticking out in a different colour (i.e. metal) than the barrel covering/muzzle brake.

Thanks, and yes, he knows his time is short before he sells his life to protect the lascannoners, so has a long barrel to do damage where he can.

Do you mean the half circle of barrel beneath the muzzle? I'll add it to the list!

Also, a group shot that disappeared into the ether when posting:

Yup.

So progress continues on my second restored land speeder, now converted to a typhoon. I decided to make this guy a sergeant, or at least a squad leader. I have been on the receiving end of two typoons from my Dark Angel playing buddy before, and they're a pain, I look forward to causing misery with my own.

[Jolemai]

Try to resist the urge to paint abs on the Land Speeder's "chest"

Wait till you see the Ab-nado pattern I have in the works...

 

But seriously. That gives me an idea. 

[Jolemai]

Will it be more awesome than this?

[Xenith]

Will it be more awesome than this?

 

Damn. No. Although that also gives me an idea!

 

I need another Landspeeder Storm.

 

I've just remembered I have a speeder and speeder storm in boxes in storage also. See you in the shame thread.

[Charlo]

I really considered doing something similar to that on my speeders! So cool :P

I think the windows could be more slit-like, akin to the Tempest, then it would work perfectly.

Do, or do not.  There is no consider.

Wait, you want to make anthropomothic Land Speeders?

Only when 5 of them combine together.

Progress on a new landspeeder 8th Co, 8th Squad, attached to the 4th Co on Armageddon.

This one is a sergeant, leading the Typhoon squadron in their fire support role.

[Xenith]

Some more stuff I've been working on:

Karlaen's Shield

And a Flamestorm Baal

The Baal still needs shading and highlights, but it's getting there.

[LutherMax]

Nice work! How big a force you got now?
