I grinded on these bastards for about 11 hours between Wednesday and Thursday of last week to get them finished. And finally they are done and delivered to Dave. I’ve still 4 models to complete for him but this project is just about done.
When I get the last four done, should be next week sometime, I’ll take a few group shots of all the units together.
More coming soon.

My thumb’s fine now and so I’ve been back to painting.
Here’s Crowe and the Tech Marine I started a while back.
Still lots to do and Crowe could use a little more polish. That mandolin really forked my deadline!

My Goal was to get 15 marines done this week, I had not expected to be redesigning our kitchen & living room. I did manage to get 5 done and 2 characters around 70% finished.
Still lots to do.

I’ve been caught in holiday/family madness and have been behind on my updates. Sorry ’bout that.
Anyway I’ve decided to break this project down into similar parts so I can get them done in bunches. I have till the end of Jan to get this project complete and that should be plenty of time.
Here’s the first section complete:
Next section will be 10 Power Sword Marines and a Character. Goal is to get them done by Next Friday.

My first commission project goes to my Pal Dave. I’ve done work for him previously (Dreadnought & Orc Mega Dread) but this will be my first major project that’s not my own.
Dave wanted them done in a Red/Bone scheme a la Menoth from Warmachine. It’s not a large project so I should get them done long before the end of January 2012 deadline.
Here’s template I’ll be taking to Dave for feedback.

I finished this squad before Thanksgiving but never posted the pics for it. All and all the squad came out looking pretty good, though I never want to paint yellow again…
I brought them to the store for delivery and there happened to be a terrain piece featuring a downed IF speeder built and painted by the owner of this squad. The bases don’t match up but the squad looks pretty damn sweet sitting in that terrain.
Next up are some commissioned Grey Knights for my pal Dave.

I LOVE the Tomb Kings, and this new Necron Codex is swiftly approaching a similar level of interest.
Here’s my take on the Thokt Dynasty found in the codex.
If I can replicate this on a vehicle and 2 more troop types I think I’ll have my scheme.

So I’ve decided to break into commission painting to fund my hobby addiction. I’m going to keep my commissions local for now so I don’t bite off more then I can chew.
The first project is a unit of 10 Imperial Fists. I hate this chapter with a passion and yellow is such a HUGE pain to get looking right, but I’ve been holding onto this unit for my pal Mike for almost a year now so he’s due.
The sergeant’s banner is my first attempt at free hand. It’s not a strong point for me, but I know I have the brush control so it’s time I get some practice in.
My next project will be a Grey Knight army for another friend Dave. I’ll post more on them after I get these bastards done.

I placed a group FW order a while back and they arrived. I can’t wait to build/paint these bad boys!
Thing is, what the hell do I do with them after? I don’t have an army to use them in. lol

Dark Eldar love continues!
Here’s the first of my Archons. I painted this guy back in April for a painting competition. I was quite pleased at how well the agonizer came out. The cloak, not so much…
I have another in production that will be carrying a blaster.
Next are my first two completed warrior squads. Unfortunately the warrior kit only comes with 1 blaster and I need multiple so I’ll just use shredders as fill-ins.
I’ve been taking advantage of the insanely beautiful weather Irene left behind to prime some units/vehicles. I have a raider, venom, hellion pack (beastmasters), and haemonculus on the table for completion.
Stay tuned.
