    Wow.  This prime is stunning.  I look forward to seeing him finished.  I also really enjoyed your NMM gold video.  I’d love to see a video on NMM silver.  All of the videos I’ve seen are no where near as detailed and just look Grey.

    Thanks so much for saying that. I’ve been in the process of working on both silver and blue NMM tutorials, but have been pushed back for work and finishing the army. I don’t have access to the tools I need at home. So I have to rent myself into a digital lab to edit the videos which costs a lot of time and money, so it’s something that doesn’t come first in the line of priority honestly. 

    I want to, and will try to finish everything after NOVA Open I August as I should be finished with the army by then and can try to catch up! 

    Thanks again for the awesome encouragement. ????

    well done indeed!,  

     

    Cheers MB

    Thanks man! Haha yeah, i think the amount of cloth adds contrast to those “poppy” areas which I think is well needed. Gonna be fun to paint some sequitors and Evocators soon ^^

    Wow! You are Getting Better and Better, thats truly amazing

    Thanks man! I appreciate the hard core follow. :D I'm trying to challenge myself every time, and to be honest, I felt the Lord Celestant wasn't the best model I've painted so far. But all you guys are being super supportive which is helping me to finish these guys on time. So thanks again for all the likes and comments.

    Yes that makes sense. I did similar when I did the claws on my Drakespawn. I didn't think carefully enough about the colour scheme in general because I think I would have done grey horns and claws with the underbelly being a similar colour to the claws. I just had to go more extreme with the highlights. 

    You can see with work like yours that not only is the painting first rate, but your decisions are well considered. It all makes a difference. 

    Yeah, the extra couple of highlights do make a difference in those cases. Well worth putting in. 

    Thanks so much man! :D

    Yikes, a single model painted to this standard is exceptional, an entire army... utterly defies comprehension O.o

    Must just about be the best painted army I've ever seen!

    Thanks so much! It has been a long journey and its soon to be done. Very excited for GenCon, NOVA Open, and GT finals this year. I hope to snag some Best Army Trophies ^^

    Everything you paint is amazing but I just absolutely love these stormcasts. So, so good it’s unreal. Love your attitude and commitment and am with you with the only better thing to get attention from me is girlfriend/family although I find an occasional blitz on the computer/console gets me motivated back to painting.

    Thanks man! I appreciate the support :D

    yeah dude, I rock that Battlefront 2 every once in a while too. Gotta blow off steam killing ****** on the screen too  haha ^^

    I think you've captured that era of style fantastically! I often feel that animation through to art the detail and skill has grown in general at large since that era; but we've somewhere along the way lost some of the style and magic that those earlier artists had. Love to see your fully army complete with Endless Spells on the table as I bet that would look a rare treat of fantasy! 

    Soon! Very soon!

    what area of the world are you in?

    Love the choice of colours; the very dark edges give them a very "classic fantasy" visual style that reminds me of a lot of book/album covers from the past. 

    Thanks so much! Yeah I started this hobby in the 90s, so I am a huge fan of old-school GW style paintjobs, and artwork from that era and even the 80s like Borris Vallejo, while trying to take a contemporary spin on it. Super stoked you caught on to that! ????

    Are we pretending it's still Wednesday? Cool, here are a couple of lightly converted minotaurs I've been working on. Hands and axes not pictured, they're separate for chest access purposes.

    Got some more highlighting and detail work to do before applying war paint and finishing up the bases. Also need to smooth out the skin highlights on the standard bearer, the Tuskgor Fur is a little too stark in some areas.

    Dude! Those look fantastic

    The head of the pegasus just doesn't seem consistent with the aesthetic of the rest of the body to me, or with the aesthetic of the Stormcast themselves. It's just so bestial, exaggerated and almost comical. This face belongs in an orruk army. Maybe a beastmen army. Not a Stormcast army. Certainly not an army of haughty wizards who take themselves incredibly seriously and look pretty refined and graceful in all other regards.

    Don’t judge a book by its cover! The goathorsebird be eatin’ no meat. 

  10. Whaaat? Y’all are crazy. All of the new models are just amazing. Not sure if I am missing something but compared to almost every other game or company even those heads of the new mounts are amazing sculpts. 

    I cant wait to paint them :D
