Dead Man Walking - Night Lords Dreadnought / Hellbrute

A quick one, today. This guy is basically stock, minus a couple horns I cut off to give a lower profile. What was by far most interesting to me on this project was trying to reconcile the organic/biomechanical sensibility (which I feel tends to approach overly cartoony designs) with my Night Lords (which are generally quite subdued, to counter the overwrought aesthetic of bats 'n' lightning.  I tried to go with a sick, vaguely Akira-esque blending of flesh into machinery: I thought that simply making the organic forms metallic (so closer to organic metal) wouldn't read, while a clearer delineation between flesh and metal when I was laying down colors honestly made him look weirdly naked.

I'm not going to do a ton in this style, but I'm pretty happy with how he looks, since it gives me options on how to do others when I want to.

We are the Earth-Intruders, We are the sharp-shooters - Amalynn Shadowguide & Spindle Drones

Eldar were actually my first serious army, in any game with miniatures at all, so I wanted to do something special with Amalynn Shadowguide, a model I thought was so close to being awesome, but had ended up a bit flat.

Who's Laughing Now?! - Harlequin Wraithknight Conversion

So, this guy started as just a simple re-pose, but became something far more elaborate.

Don't Go Into the Jungle! - Pan Oceana Shock Army of Acontecimento, Part 2

The Drago just screams classic (modern? archetypal? post-Eva? maybe I should drop the descriptor) mecha to me.

Don't Go Into the Jungle! - Pan Oceana Shock Army of Acontecimento, Part 1

Before working on this, it was actually a fair bit since I'd painted any Infinity guys, and it was a nice reminder how much I like the line (except for those flimsy antennae).

The End, My Friend - Final Cryx Batch for sale

So, this is the fourth installment of my cleaned up Cryx army, and as much as I like these zombies, I decided it's time to consolidate my WM collection to its core, so these guys'll be up for grabs...

Aquatic Assault - Cryx Pirates

I really liked the undead/pirate theme since all the way back during the first edition Prime. The only problem was Skarre was really ugly, but fortunately this was remedied with a resculpt.

Black Operations - Goreshade & other stealthy cryx (continuing updates)

Goreshade was one of my first PP conversions- for an elf, he felt really bulky and short.

A Hunting Beast - Khador's Drago

Drago is, in my opinion, the best character warjack design there's been- I think late 1st edition was the peak of PP's miniature design, and Drago was one of the best of those.

Self-Propelled Artillery - Astral Claws Mortis Dreadnought

This was a fun guy to work on- my favorite part of the Astrals Claws aesthetic is the mix of functionalism and ornamentation, and I think I hit it nicely on Amru, with a pretty basic blocky look, but the gold trim and imperial skull honor marks across the "shoulders."

Wilderness Training - Khador Irregulars

It's not often that I include more personal stuff, but an interesting little bit of my family history- one of my my great uncles was actually a sharpshooter in the Russian army during WWII.

LACK OF SUBTLETY. - Khador Behemoth conversion

The Behemoth is one of my favorites, though it took some work to get there.

L-O-L-A, Lola... Butcher and other axe-wielding friends

The first generation of Warcasters are still some of my favorites.

"... Mein Herr" - Malifaux Showgirls crew (with update)

This set's just got a lot of charm- one of my favorites from the second set of Malifaux releases.

The End...? - Sedition Wars ALIENS homage pieces

I think I actually ran out of ALIENS one-liners to reference.

Leading from the Front - Sedition Wars characters + drones

First up, Kara Black got a serious upgrade in gear.

Guys, Look What I Found! - Continuing Space Hulk 1st Squad

I think they were going with something more serious, but that's about all I can see when I look at Goriel (on the left with the Genestealer head).

...All the Live-Long Day - Rail Crew

I really enjoyed the variety in these models' gear, despite their somewhat static poses.

Everyone Loves a Redemption Story - Space Hulk Squad 1 & objective

Time for the Blood Angels to come roaring back in to the Sin of Damnation, ready for a fight.

Election Day - Magnus' Cobbled Together Defender/Rocinante Conversion

I was inspired by a current competition to do a mini for my much-beloved but recently somewhat-unattended Magnus force.
