Intermission!

Several massive projects in the works, here, there and generally taking over the place as they do in summertime. Unusual for me to go more than a few weeks without an update, so here are some pretty pictures of a couple recent commissions going at it for the time being.  

Also need to officially announce I will be at Gencon 2015 in Indianapolis!  At the Cool Mini booth again, I am working on a display similar to the Marienburger for their new Rum and Bones board game being released at the event.  As always come and say hello if you are going!

Until next time,

Legion of the Damned and Company

An army of Legion of the Damned and a custom chapter, the blue portion of this army was used for the Adepticon team tournament, then the Legion sent to me after the convention. The teal works well contrasted with the orange-gold not only on the solid marines, but as an accent on the Legion.  Having not seen many Legion alternatives, doing something slightly different was very appealing. While the standard scheme of red flames will always be the go-to, this is a solid alternative that stands well on it's own, even without the teal marines they were to blend in with.  

Up next - work in earnest on the Deadpool Imperial Guard army, a Dread Suarian, and two new photography backdrops. Both based on video game level design - one Overpass from Counter Strike, the other Bloodborne with some absolutely insane Gothic windows by Ironheart Artisans, both in size and complexity.  Summer is here and that means sunshine and big projects outdoors.  See you then.

Fresh Paint Showcase: Dusk Raiders Veterans

About a year ago I did a massive Dusk Raiders army with a Reaver and about a company's worth of models.  This is a "small" addition to that army, themed around an existing veteran force.  It's all the fun toys the basic army didn't have..since they didn't exist.  

I really like painting split color infantry.  To many it might seem tedious, but the pop that comes with it is worth it, definitely.  The next Marine army on the table is split colors as well. See you then!

Fresh Paint Showcase - Massive Star Phantoms Army

Hey all,

Well, here it is!  The biggest army I have done to date.  Star Phantoms, counts as Space Wolves.  Done in a worn-in white, with influences from old school practical model making/painting schemes.

"I felt a great disturbance in the force.  As if millions of mics suddenly cried out in terror, and were dropped."

Showcase: Showdown - Streets of Fire

Welcome to Showcase: Showdown, where I take a break from painting and just have some fun taking pictures with some models I have painted!  My love for modelling goes back to childhood, where I got the most enjoyment just setting things up in interesting and dynamic ways.  I try and incorporate this in every step of army building from posing individual models up to how an army looks displayed.  So every once in a while it is fun to just go wild, throw the rules out the window and pose a snapshot of some random battle in the game's universe.

Memento In Utero - Adepticon 2014 Army

And now for the second half - the 40k army!  Excited to be done and to be packing it up.  If you are going to Adepticon feel free to stop and say hi.  I will not be playing the army, a friend will, but I will be around.

Fresh Paint Showcase - Adepticon 2014 Charity Army - Iron Hands

Hey everyone!

I have some brand new pictures for you.  This time the Adepticon 2014 charity raffle army - Iron Hands!  If you plan on going be sure to buy a few tickets for a chance to win and it's for a good cause!

Up next, Adepticon armies!  Stay tuned.

Flashback Friday - Dusk Raiders Part 2 - Lots of Infantry

 Hey everyone!

Welcome to Flashback Friday, where I revisit old armies I have painted from the past.  I have painted thousands of models and who knows how many huge armies on commission, and each one holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy looking back every once in a while at the photos and remembering the joys and struggles, the hard work and the pure enjoyment of making someone's vision a reality. But enough of that emotional stuff, let's get on with it!

Flashback Friday - Dusk Raiders Part 1 - Reaver Titan

 Hey everyone!

Welcome to Flashback Friday, where I revisit old armies I have painted from the past.  I have painted thousands of models and who knows how many huge armies on commission, and each one holds a special place in my heart.

Showcase: Showdown - Dark Angels Vs. Orks

Welcome to Showcase: Showdown, where I take a break from painting and just have some fun taking pictures with some models I have painted!  This time around, it's a rooftop wave of Orks crashing upon some outnumbered Dark Angels. Who do you think would win or who do you hope would win despite the odds? I hope you enjoy the photos, and until next time!

Flashback Friday - Ravenwing

Hey everyone!

Welcome to Flashback Friday, where I revisit old armies I have painted from the past.  I have painted thousands of models and who knows how many huge armies on commission, and each one holds a special place in my heart.  A little sweat, a lot of love, and some collaboration with another person and who knows what you can create!  I enjoy looking back every once in a while at the photos and remembering the joys and struggles, the hard work and the pure enjoyment of making someone's vision a reality. But enough of that emotional stuff, let's get on with it! I miss you, baby!

(10/7/13) Dusk Raiders!

 Hey all!

Huge new update today!  One big Dusk Raiders army.  All pre-heresy, with some cool conversions and a wide range of the Heresy models big and small.  Check them out on the site or on Dakka,  and until next time!

Hyperios Defense Turrets

A set of Hyperios defense turrets for a customers existing army and upcoming campaign.  Beyond defense, it's an "army" in itself.

(1/24/13) Space Hulk!

Carboard for the Board Game G... oh nevermind! Space Hulk just slightly modified in tone and color placement.

Up next - Adepticon charity army - World Eaters!

(8/19/12) Ravenwing Army

I just uploaded a big Ravenwing army up on the site!  More pictures on the main news page if you wish to see more and at more angles.

This army was a lot of fun to paint.  I really like doing black as a change of pace since it is more stark line highlighting. White and red are also two of my favorite colors and make great accents for black.

The bases are by Dragon Forge.  If you wish to order the best bases on the market, contact Jeff at Dragon Forge.  Keen observers will note a yet to be released base in there.

Until next time!

(7/31/12) 12,000 Points Grey Knights Finished!

Hey all,

Grey Knights done and up!  Split colors were a lot of fun to paint, and definitely worth the extra punch it gives in the final images.  For more pictures check out the following links:

On GMM

Until next time!
