Heh...my new Eldar objectives markers for the first Michigan GT....they will undoubtedly give me a psychological edge!

Working on bikes for Marcu's Eldar Host

  

Of course, white is a chore to work with so there's going to be some clean up on these...

Other things on the burner...an Avatar (I guess the guy I got this from intended him tor ise from lava...no legs....

O

 Got his custom Eldar Runes decals ready...every letter of his name appears in them

Putty for gems on the wraith-knight...I'd have just masked the gems after painting them THEN do the body, but it came already mostly painted...

Well, started getting heavily into painting now that the wifer let me get a good airbrush. I've had it for a while one-offing projects here and there (Buypainted.com and Shnauzerfacedminis on youtube are great sources of how-to, as is Lester from Aweseomepaintjob. While I'm not in their league (yet!), I'll get there soon enough) .Bought a massive eldar army for very cheap, so trying my hand at vehicles...he had daemons, too..


Here are a few of the items I've painted this year:

This was mu first attempt at a Galaxy pattern....later I decided to make a diff colored galaxy for each of my units...colorful, and slightly thematic, but not as impressive as a pure color scheme army...


This scheme was my original intention; guess they go in the de-greaser.



I found genuine Silly-Putty is the best masker out there, if you don't want to splurge for expensive liquid mask. The blue cockpit is an example of how leak proof it is :)

Started wandering since stars alone are boring...added a solar flare/comet

These wolves were my first attempt at a big unit, trying preshading

I WANT to paint HER....

First at temp at flames using plastic wavy card

Tried my hand at sculpting a great unclean one...lol slimer or The Great Poo...still, I like him...he's MINE...

Needed an idea for a thrid Heldrake...and I love Godzilla, so...

Mecha-King Ghidora lives!

Aaron's Guard army...my first attempt at a full vehicle army with the airb

Note the color difference in the following panels...guess I better keep a journal if I do commissions so each paint matches

My experience with white: don't use it for detail...go light grey....the mouth here was a total disaster after I penned in good detail

Sad Sack on the mantle...or Snuffy Smith....

Lol Aaron was not please I had a Pin-up on there....

More Flames...a little too uniform (especially for orks!)

First serious use (attempt!) of Airbrush with french curve masking...for a tau guy...he made this out of an old star wars B-wing...its huge (for Apoc games)

Regular masking tape...not so great with softer primers

Pre-shading the lines

and after

Below is a Traitor Guard vraks style army I painted last year, minus an airbrush...the theme is, a sorcerer stole a lot of their souls, turning them into evil, pale, red eyed zombies....

He beats the flesh-drums to call in artillery from the warp...

and with photoshop:

Free paints from a paint company...jsut eamil them and ask for samples....

Dark Angels for a friend...the Ghost Tint Oil from Minitare is awesome of bronze/gold..

Tau for Yancy...Miniatire paints have a shine to them, but they look ok on rounded armor I think.

Plague Bearers for a WC friend

My own Plague Bearers...wanted something different 

and their pappy (so shiny)
