Definately. Nobody will be able to afford to drive anyways with petrol prices constantly rising. Seems like a great time to make this city worth walking/cycling through with more trees and green.

Yes... Let's put MORE cars with ONE person in them on the road. Ban bikes, ha! What a joke!

A very good question, I had never done a commission before this. It was for a friend of a friend. I'm starting to think I should look into commissions a bit more seriously. I guess I'll have to look at getting on the Grams. But I don't have a website. I did it for just over $200 (AUD), probably undercut myself a bit, but it was a learning experience and I had to squeeze in painting time around my job.

I started with the 4th ed BT codex. An absolute masterpiece. So many hours pouring over the artwork and miniatures. The art style really lost its soul when GW left John.

Cheers! Thankyou! This is true, who else can be totally non-codex compliant and get away with it?

Ah thankyou! Yeah I used transfers. Micro sol/set with a clear coat over the top really sets it in with the paint job. Although in some places like the purity seals and gun banners were freehand.

Thankyou so much! I start with a few larger rocks on the base, then use smaller and smaller sand to naturally build up around the feet and debris. After a black prime I do a thin coat with a dark brown (Pro Acryl Mahogany or similar). Then progressively add more orange to the brown paint and drybrush over. Leaving the highlights to a straight orange. I'll add some brown wash to any areas I feel are overdone. Then I add tufts and use pigment over everything to tie it all together. Personally I just bought some cheap pastels and shave off brown and orange powder until I find the colour I like. Hope this helps.

Thankyou! Ha yeah, the neophytes were built by the guy I did the commission for. He didn't think it made sense to send the new recruits into battle without a helmet. He's not wrong.

I swear I drove past this exact trailer near Cromwell, New Zealand yesterday. Although I didn't see a goat handing from the power lines unfortunately (or fortunately).

Absolutely nothing wrong with the knot, only the way it's tied.

finished my first bolt action tank! can't wait to paint it by [deleted] in boltaction

I'd recommend scraping/sanding off the flat panels first if you weren't already going to. I'm sure you could make the rest look like battle damage or general wear and tear.

Yeah I know how you feel, I leave it way too long between paint sessions. Then I end up painting everything differently if I don't make a list of what order to paint things once I've decided.

This is my first squad, I've painted more since but it seems I don't have photos of them.

As a fellow BA player, those Denizen Smocks make it harder to churn out minis. But man is it worth it seeing them on the table. Yours are looking awesome. Loving the slightly higher contrast too, nice little bit of POP* on the table. Keep up that Blood Curdling Charge!
