Im bored. I would therefore like to look at some really nicely painted miniatures. Post the miniature or miniatures you are most proud of painting here. Not necessarily the best but the one you are most proud of. It doesn't need to be Empire or even Warhammer. Come on then, help me pass an hour or two.

I'll kick off with Gandalf. This is the only miniature of mine that has ever done even remotely well at GD. It's very simple but Im still proud of it.

Valten took me 25 hours, as I used NMM,

probably my proudest work,

I need to paint a pegasus soon

Comes close to my newly painted hammerers, but I think he wins. My dwarven alter ego, Dunrik Ironhammer. Don't think the picture does him justices though

I painted this for a painting competition. I came in 4th, but it's one of my favorite paint jobs, even more than some of my Empire Characters. He's from the VOR line of miniatures and he's a Union Special Forces Sniper. The photography isn't the greatest so you can't see the subtle variations in the weapons. I painted the rifles to look like Black Carbon Fibre casings and dark black metal parts. My lighting makes it all look the same.

Here is a rank an file unit that I painted in the middle of the night at the Westin St Francis Hotel in SF while attending a conference. They are fairly simple unconverted dudes, but I was really pleased with the yellow and the overall look of these guys.

Awesome handgunners there Lion.

Also two big thumbs up for Gandalf and the now forgotten never before existed Valten as well.

This is my favorite model today:

My huge and hungry Tyrant, a former maneater of the Empire (true to his title...).

In the end, although I have a lot of models closely ranking as my favourite, it's gotta be my scratchstank

Here is my current favorite...I am working on painting an entire set of the Marauder MM90 chaos Dwarfs...which are some of the best sculpts ever in WFB...IMO...

Cheers,

Blue

I am loving this thread. Sorry to sully it with this evilness. I'm not much of a painter, but I was pretty pleased with the pose.

This is the one people most often comment on though...

Finlay · « **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2010, 12:01:35 AM »

That chaos dwarf is lovely.
It looks like the grey isnt highlighted though.

Siby, add an arrow into the chest of the muso.

Surely it should be 3 if I'm gonna do it right...

Hmmm...you're right the Gray doesn't seem to be highlighted...it looks more like it is in real life....perhaps I can add another step.

Also I have finished the base....I'll get new pics up soon.

Finlay · « **Reply #20 on:** November 24, 2010, 01:59:41 PM »

do you have more pics of your dwarfs?
I've not seen these models, and your painting makes them look great.

Immovable Object · « **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2010, 02:20:53 PM »

@Blue - If it looks good in real life I wouldn't change it to make it look better in a photo. It looks great as it is.

Blue in vt · « **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2010, 08:11:29 PM »

Finlay,

If you don't mind looking around on a chaos dwarf site I have a longish thread about my quest to collect and paint this whole group of Chaos Dwarfs...it is found here:

http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8206

For those that just want an overview...here is a group shot of what I have done to date:

and here they are with a converted musician and one of the GW CDs added in for "flavor"

If you are not familiar with the MM90s they were produced by Marauder Miniatures (an off shoot of Citadel) in the late 1980s and are the best chaos dwarf sculpts ever produced...IMO...here is the SoL page that shows the whole group...24 total...I still need to find 3 more to complete my collection...

Cheers,

Blue

PS @Force...thanks for your input...I probably will leave the gray as is...too much else to do! and BTW your Gandalf is AWESOME! love that figure and your painting is GREAT!

Valetus · « **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2010, 09:11:28 PM »

Really like that Ogre model. Also how did you do the blood effect on the sword?

Finlay · « **Reply #24 on:** November 25, 2010, 12:35:09 PM »

they are So much nicer than the giant hat dwarfs.
