40K + T & A

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....
