Holy Sisters of Batlle (SOB) They are great!!!

Nice work Deafnala! You are the greatest!!!

Thanks again...kind words from my peers are a definite motivating factor. That means that Da Bank's Kreig Lads may get done in the foreseeable future...or not .

Hehehehe!!! You are a riot... worth the wait!

You know what this means??? We will have to find a way to get Terminator Blood Angels in death squads.

Heheheh... no. As a matter of fact, I'm looking how to display-base them and put them in a vacuum-sealed bullet-proof box! I'm afraid of touching them! So if we EVER play Space Hulk... we use YOUR raw plastic models!

Fantastically painted minis I especially like the 13th Warrior & Challis it looks fantastic!
How was the metal painted?
It took me a while to work out that it wasn't painted in metallics, the highlighting is perfect.
The photos are great and do a good job of showing the models in all their glory.

@Kiwi: the Challis was painted yellow/orange with a burnt orange wash then highlighted in yellow/orange & finally a pale yellow. I use craft acryllics SO I doubt that the brand of paint would be available in New Zealand.

Glad you liked the minis AND Mordheimer takes a MEAN photo.

HAHAH! Da Bank saw the models in person today... and I'm NOT kidding... Dozer was there too!

I... I don't know if I can take any more of this!

Poor man was in shock! He scratched his head at the Challis, he freaked out at the Genestealer, took a double-take at the skulls in the Throne, wondered how the hell you managed to paint the scribbles so tiny, pondered about the NMM technique of yours (unreal!), laughed at the C.A.T., remained silent at the sight of the Librarian... EXACTLY as every other person who has seen the models. Hell, jd3 was there (playing Warmachine) he stopped, looked at one of the models and said in complete disbelief "Did you painted this?" My answer? "Dude! The day I paint something like this, I cut my own hands and preserve them in plastic... so I could remember the exact way they looked when I achieved perfection." We all laughed at the morbid comment... but NOBODY disagreed! It was a complete agreement... the models are so AWESOME that if we ever decide to play Space Hulk, we will use tokens rather than risking the oil of our filthy hands get near those models!

Seriously Deaf... you need to paint some models, submit to Golden Daemon and walk away with multiple awards... no sweat. Then you could sell those models (as well as others) to supplement your income in eBay with ease! There was a talk at the store about your Terminators and an obscene amount of money. These are my personal treasures, NEVER for sale. Not for several 000's... maybe for several 000,000's... then I can split with you!

Really... it sounds about right... Multiple Golden Daemon Winner, Allan "DeafNala" Preuss. You underestimate the power of your paint brushes!

I'll second and third Mords comments.

what have you to loose?
if I could paint at only 10% of your skill I would be a happy man in deed.

you have a rare talent and one I envy [the green eyed monster is roaring]

the terminators are amazing the detail and the jems are beyond belief. truely inspiring work and one I am pleased to have viewed. [though I am jealous that I can not see them in person.... hey Mord send them to me so I can see them in person. I promise I will send them back....well I'd try...]

love to see your other work as well....

Cheers
LGW

Thanks MUCHO for all the kind words.
I can see great things in everyone's pieces here & at T.B.M.F. with the promise of EVEN GREATER things to come. PLEASE don't feel intimidated be my work; I started out as a slighty better than average painter a LONG time ago; all it takes to get to be a good painter is some bloody minded tenacity with a modicum of skill.

Future Plans: If I can ever figure out the photography thingy, I hope to offer some/most of my stuff up through the Trading Pits here & at T.B.M.F.. Maybe I could con Mordheimer into being my agent.

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

the models are great to say the least. I wish I could paint that good so I could make some real money instead of overcharging 8 year olds to build and paint their black reach set (I know, I'm a terrible person)

keep it up

Thanks, Amigo! I'd glad you liked them AND took the time to say so.

I wish I could make some REAL $s too.
Well...keep it up. If you have the desire & a modicum of talent, you'll be able to paint to my standards sooner than you think. If you need any advice let me know...I'm not taking any secrets to the grave...mostly.
AND those eight year olds probably love their minis & will cherish them for a VERY LONG time. At least a couple of them will be moved to try it themselves & a new painter/modeler/gamer will be born. SO you are performing a service to the hobby you love...don't you feel proud?

Will do...at my age I haven't got anything better to do with my time.

Deafnala

They are a work of art.

I might have something for you to review in a little bit.

OMG!!! Excellent Work!
