I hope you enjoyed your Christmas Time.. here it was a bit strange with temperatures of 11°C (in Germany). oO

I am coming to you with a finished comission wor of Soda Pop Miniatures´ "Candy and Cola"! My customer is often described as a cola-addict. So this mini was a really fun project to do, as the girl should look as much coca cola as possible ;)

old Bases

new Bases

Hey there everyone.

As i was told my paintjobs often look too clean (i heard that a lot about my chaos models) i tried to do this Black Orc. He comes a little bit more grungy, i hope. What do you think?

Here you can vote: http://www.coolminiornot.com/291527

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Hey there everybody,

welcome back to the last bit of Dark Eldar Comission: The Bikes ;)

They are finished. So does the whole Dark Eldar Army. What does this mean for the next time? Retourning to some nice painting on my Dreadnought. :) So stay tuned.

Oh, nearly forgot the pic:

Hey ladies and gentlemen,

Hey there everybody! I have reworked the skin and the haircolor of Lelith Hesperax. Looks nicer now ;)

Normal Warriors up next (20 of them)

Hello guys, welcome back to another progress update on Dark Eldar Comission. This time i finished the succubus.

Hey there Ladies and Gentlemen,

i am coming at you guys with anoter update of the Dark Eldar´s Army progress. This time i finished the Inccubi, which was a lot of pain to do, because of really really crappy finecast quality! From a painter´s point of view Finecast just sucks!

But anyway i hope, you like them. :)

Hey there, long time no see.. SO busy at the moment. Painting the whole day (still Dark Eldar work^^)

Here are some pictures af a short comission work i have done. It´s a 5 man Unit of Chaos Havoks for a gaming army. It tells a bit of a story, since the older the models are, the more mutations and rusted armory they have. Hope you like it^^

Chaos Havoks

Champion

Heavy Bolter

Lascannon

Autocannon 1

Autocannon 2

Hey there.. long time no see.

Hey there you guys,

i want to show you a Infinity Model i painted as a birthday gift for a friend. He will use it for gaming. ;)

Hope, you like him ;) Was a lot opf fun to paint (approx 6 hours).

If you want to rate him: http://www.coolminiornot.com/287226

He ladies and gentlemen,

welcome back, im coming to you this evening with the picture of a Dark Eldar Archon, which is a part of a huge comission work (a whole army in Obsidian Rose Scheme).

I am training to do some gradients in very short time. This Model was painted in approx 4 hours.

The Shadowseer of the Harlequin-comision-work is done.

Tabletop Standard.

Here is a group picture of the 10 finished Harlequins. next will be a Shadowseer and the comission work will be done.

Hey ladies and gentlemen, im coming back to you with a reworked contrast on the red wings and some better pictures. Still not perfect, but more like reality than earlier pics. Took photos in front of white background which made photografing the reds easier.

Hey ladies and gentlemen,

i´m coming to you with the second WIP of my Dread´s Torso. I hope you like the result. Still struggling with taking good photos. ;)

Here is the next bunch of Harlequins. 4 of 10 done.

I reworked the Picture of the previos post. This is how the Reds look in reality (likeley).

Hey all :)

Here is the first WIP on my Dread´s Torso. The red has a lot more contrast but it is a hell to take a picture of reds. The OSL of the face will pop out more, when it appears on the surrounding parts, but they have to be painted first. ;)

I hope you like it.

Hey all. I am doing a comission work. The customer and myself chose the color scheme of lolers Harlequins from the brushbrothers and scale it down to a so called "higher-Tabletop Standard", as the 10 harlequins and one Shadowseer will be gaming miniatures.

Today i finished the first one, which i will take as a reference. I will proceed in groups of 3 models and the Seer at the very end.

I hope you like him. Its around 2 and a half hours work.

Hey folks, long time no see.

I hat a kind of "painting-depression" but it is over now and here you see the final pictures of the autocannon. Now i am satisfied with the overall look, even of the gun barrels.

They were such a pain to paint.

Hope you like him :)

Hello everyone. Here is my first WIP of the Dread´s Autocannon.

I am not satisfied with the gun barrels. I tried different versions and this was the less crappy one. Don´t knowh how to paint them otherwise. Also i am really frustrated overal at the time.

I have the feeling, that i can´t do anything right, or clean, or smooth. :(

What do you think?

Here i´m back at work! The Chassis is done. Not really satisfied with the NMM Steel on some parts on the legs due to the (horrible) cast quality. Next time i have to spend more time to clearing before the painting process.

But i hope you like him. ;)

Finally we are back at home. It was an awesome yourney, fantastic landscapes, cool people, and yummy yummy Guiness. In the next days, I´ll paint again. :)

Here are some impressions from the holiday

Irish Clover

Dunluce Castle

Cliffs of Moher

Celtic High-Crosses

Nice Waterfall

Hey all...

there will be a break for two weeks from sunday on. This is because i´ll travel to ireland with my wife.
So we´ll see us later ;)

Hurray

Hello everybody ;)

Here is the 4th WIP of my Dread´s Chassis. NMM goes on. I increased the contrast in the Golds. Hope you like it ;)

Hey there..

here is teh further WIP of my Dread. Some SENMM on the round parts.
Feet are finished. but still a lot to do ;) A little bit too less contrast in the pics, i´m sorry.

Hey. As promised here is the picture from the next WIP. Still an early stage but i think you can imagine, where the journey goes.

Hey everyone.

This week i can go back to work on my minis :) There was not much time since the Chaos Lord because saturday was my wedding. It was such a great day with family, friends and of course my awesome wife who is such a great inspiration for me. :) Love you darling ;)


So expect the next WIP Shots on my Dread´s Chassis today or tomorrow. ;)

Hey there. Finally here is my final Chaos Terminator Lord. I have learned a LOT while painting this one, but there is still much to learn, many things to improve on the next model.

I hope you like him, feel free to rate it on CMON. :)

Soo, here is the WIP of the BT Dread´s feet. I tested some new Black colour blendings on them and i am quiet satisfied with the result. :)

I also changed the Chaos Dread´s back, it appears a little bit more dusty near the grund. :)

Hey all :)

I had to correct the blendings and NMM lights on the left leg, because the light was not correct regarding light theory. Also i started with the left arm, finally i decided the claws to become NMM gold, so the base colour is applied.

Also the colours on the pictures are finally the true colors (last pictures were sort of over-saturated. ;)
