Wow!

I got home late last night and saw a package that was addressed to me. I open it eagerly like a kid on Christmas Day! The whole time I am hoping for a Red Tricycle but when I open the the box I found the painted Death Korp. Deafnala used colors that i never would have imagined to use. I was thinking of a DULL grey color or something very dark. Instead I get the coolest and virant looking colors you can put on the Death Korp. Deafnala is the greatest person and painter in the world. I thank you many time over.

I'm glad to hear you're not TOO disappointed. When I first was figuring out what to do with the Lads, it immediately hit me just how much they resembled French Foreign Legion; SO that's where the red turnbacks, cuffs, & collars came from. I did resist going for kepis with neck cloths.

Deaf.... HOLY COW MAN! Those are awesome models! That NMM technique of yours is amazing... golden yellow for the 'metal' of the guns... BRILLIANT!!! Makes the models look very 'steam-punk'.

You my friend... a genius!

The MAJOR motivating factor for moi in doing commission work, EVEN beyond any $S involve, is the positive feedback I receive; SO...thanks for the kind words.
With the NMM, it's more bringing up the question as to what the item is made of than a pure NMM. I would imagine that SciFi gear is made more from ceramics & such than metals.

Brilliant! A great colour scheme and beautifully painted. All the elements tie together superbly and the fact that I didn't recognise it was NMM initially (I just thought wonderful, unique colour scheme) is a testament to just how well painted these are. Awesome attention to detail and there is more to see with each viewing.

Well Done! Da Bank you are a very lucky individual!

That is friggin amazing!

Now here is colour scheme I would have never thought of, as they are generally so closely associated with grimy and dark trench warfare.

Deaf you have pulled it off masterfully, the colours play into each other really well, and the blending show a good solid execusion.

I find it fascinating that you put this much work into commission work, shows your passion for it.

Amazing.
Yet again Deafnala managed to fool me with his NMM painting I was convinced the breast plate on the first model was painted in metalics but I couldn't figure out howhe'd managed to highlight it so well.

I'm THIS close to drive to Da Bank's house (even when its 4am and he lives ~45 minutes away!) just to take a peek at those guys!

In all seriousness, Deaf's NMM technique is impressive... to put it mildly. It is not only that is done perfectly, but the part does not look... metallic... CRAP! So hard to explain.... You see, if you take the Deaf's Gold (like the one's on DeafNala's Blood Angel Terminators) it looks like real gold. It gives the illusion of being a metal, and you can see (well, you are actually deceived) how the light reflects on the gold. If you take another model with metallic paint and put it side by side, then the illusion is broken and the 'gold' transforms in an incredible yellow. Other NMM painting that I have seen transform if a bunch of weird colors. This is what puts Deaf's painting out in the Warp!

Wait another ten days or so before going to Da Bank's...that should be when the second part of the Lads arrives.

nice fantactic job...love those death korp figs.... the paint job makes them stand out... Da Bank your one lucky fella....


cheers

They are great. I just back home from being out of town and had to go sit down and look at them again. They are masterfully painted and detailed.

Pictures!!!

I JUST finished the last of the Death Corps Lads. They'll be off to Da Bank tomorrow. SO be prepared to have your minds DAZZLED...or not.
