    Great paint job for a great set of models! Are they fun to paint?

    Great fun! I enjoyed every moment. And I really need to enlist for another set or two... now that I only have two of them left to paint... ;)

    Sounds like a plan... the only issue is that massive wait time. (I'm not a very patient Slann) :cool:

    Oh yes, that's kind of a problem... but I still got some cold ones and guards to finish... and skunks, a stegadon, terrains... rippers... a lot of stuff to fill the time of waiting...;)
    Thanks! I really can't believe it's my work, too. ;):p

    Didn't manage to take proper pictures of the colosus today... leaves the opportunity to finish the base before showing him to you... but I played around with a single stormcast eternal I got with a magazine I got for free in the store end of last year... I call him Lord ambassador... as he might be the only stormcast model in my collection for some time... tried to give him appropriate colors for a sigmarine ambassador dealing with my seraphon/lizardmen...
    I know it's no match to colossal pictures but I hope you like him... ;)

    It's basecoat only at the moment... well and the undercoat for the metals... took hold for the usual yellow... but that's the same in heraldic, anyway...;):cool:

    He looks like his scales are armor. Amazingly painted, your highlights look perfect to me :artist:

    Well well look at that @tom ndege

    It's been a long journey but I think you should be very proud of that paint job, I think it is time for you to venture out on your own, consider yourself no longer a youngling. :spiderman:

    Just some WIP of two new (ok... it's the third time I try to paint this priest model in a way I'm satisfied with... but it's the start of the third attempt...) side projects I started recently...
    A saurus leader for a big block of warriors...
    20170215_211456.jpg 20170215_211508.jpg 20170215_211522.jpg
    And star priest number 2, attempt number 3:

    Though I'm grown up now, any tips, c&c or other kinds of help and inspiration are very much appreciated! ;):cool:

    I like how you painted the feathers on that skink priest, and the blue face is a great color scheme contrast with the rest of the brown.

    If someone could explain my unlogical and impractical habit to always finish the scales first, when painting this model(s), I would like to know... ;)

    Will probably build a light box or something in the near future... need to enhance the quality of my pictures...
    Next post will be the colors I used on the different parts of the model...

    Nothing wrong with doing scales first especially if you drybrush, it gives you a clear sense of what colours to use.

    I'm just building 40 skinks for my new AOS core and I'm going blue/dark green and orange with a twist, scales are the only part I have not worked out yet.
