Thanks guys, please dont be afraid of some constructive critique, I'm old enough to handle it I hope...

In the meantime, quick Roboute Guilliman (for tabletope I guess), goal was to paint him in 5 hrs, which I of course didn't...

An interesting figure, and well done on the painting.

Thank you GamesPoet! I have done just a couple bit more highlights and mostly fixed the base bit. 7 hours of work in total and customer is satisfied...

Here is he in comparison with a test model for new project - howling griffons (I'm pretty excited about them

)

These SM are beautifully painted models. Considering the result and the time spent, you truly have become a professional.

Thank you for your kindness, but I would say there are still at least a two things that separate me from being a professional..

1) I still make a whole lot of mistakes, I should learn to work more efficient.
Although I have considerably more customers and commissions, that in previous years, I'd still need way more to consider this as a profession

Maybe not a profession yet but zygmund’s assessment is correct. Professional.

It is just a wordplay...but It means a lot to me, thanks for all of your support guys!

Some progress on howling griffons...

Nice flash of colour with the purity strips. Havnt seen this chapter for quite awhile. It was one of the first army’s I saw on the table 😸

I like that color scheme, and how it is coming along.

Gentlemen! Please no harsh words!

I'm waiting for the feedback from my customer about the howling griffon models. I'd like to finish them soon...

Anyway - I had just a couple of hours this weekend, so here are just a few minis, each within single hour of painting...

Maybe I'll have a whole unit...someday

Zygmund · « **Reply #263 on:** January 30, 2018, 07:58:22 AM »

Great things often start modestly, and those are some really nicely painted Empire models from a more civilized time!

Especially like the metal halberdier, and most especially his piercing eyes.

Thanks @Zygmund. It is actually just some poorly made copy of original miniature. His face was slightly damaged, but I hope it doesn't look that bad...

I cant help myself painting the whole unit in the same colours. After painting some 150 models in Averland/Nuln theme I want to try painting every each of the provinces. So I'll have a mixed unit I guess

Silvero · « **Reply #265 on:** January 31, 2018, 11:32:08 AM »

More and more space wolf Intercessors...

Compared to Howling griffons

Well, that might explain some lack of detail in the sculpt, but also shows your painting skill that much more.

Some slight progress with Howling Griffons. I consider those five pretty much done, but I'm waiting for feedback...
(Still having a little bit of trouble with the yellows)
