http://i.imgur.com/88y5X83.jpg?1 I am disappointed by the lack of progress in this thread. I have managed to make and even finish a Tyrion conversion. It's inspired by someone else's conversion (I can't remember who :oops: ). http://i.imgur.com/UYDBGFo.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/mp0nsMT.jpg?1 http://...

I really like your painting. You do white exceptionally well which is quite the achievement.

All that aside, using the Solitaire's magical effect thingy (with all the diamonds) on the Loremaster is just... my mind = blown.

If the gap is too big for liquid green stuff, then green stuff itself might be the answer.

The trick is, let it cure/set properly - 24hours or more. You can also mix it with more blue and it'll set slightly harder - and therefore more sand-able.

I'm very impressed with just how colourful everything you paint is. That Loremaster especially. It's such a straightforward conversion but it's tons better than the original.

Those are some really nice conversions, and that's a very impressive collection you have there. (Any chance of a full army picture at some point?) As for where to begin - the answer is almost always going to be 'the thing you want to paint the most'. (Or 'the thing you most want to see painted', or ...

Wow, these are absolutely stunning.

One of the best examples I've seen.

I think the spectral dragon on the banner is the most awesome freehand I've ever seen. Amazing.

@Ferny Thanks! I think it's technically possible to make it look like the design has been woven or embroidered into the cloth, but that'd involve painting in the texture of the cloth etc and there's no way i'm going to that extreme. But yeah, I agree that banners aren't generally that realistic. I g...

Simply wow. I love the Princess model. Where did you get the head from?

Stunning work. I really like the Silver Helm conversions - combining old and new models gives them so much character. I can't wait to see more.

The combined audiobooks run for more than 19 days, and that isn't enough?
No, it wasn't enough.

I really like the Loremaster conversion. It's tons better than the original.

Welcome :D Firstly, it's a good start. An entire army painted like those two models will look great, so if you simply keep to that standard then you're doing it right. I don't have much experience painting red so I can't really comment on techniques/colours etc, but red and High Elves can go togethe...

That's one lucky friend you have. I really like how well the pale blues and silver work together - it's a simple colour scheme but visually quite stunning and gives them a slightly ethereal look.

New stuff today. http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/3e141503-5f66-4210-866f-592f0544b3e6_zpsedfwxyhf.jpg First here's a WiP of a Master BSB. Made from one of the Dark Elf Chariot crew (and of course the cloak is for the other crewman so it was a paint to fit) and the Dragon Prince bann...

You could even say that he's a bit of a card... Okay that was awful. :oops: @Tzineris Thanks! I think you're right in that the neck is slightly too long, but I also think the pose is one that would stretch/expose his neck so it's not as out of proportion as it seems. Too late to change it anyway. :l...

I really like how the red of the dragon sets off the blues and whites of the rider.

I think that's the first map-based display board I've come across and it works incredibly well - to the point that it completely explains the whole three kingdoms background you have and the reasoning behind the three different colour schemes etc. without you having to say anything extra.

I really like the Shadow Warriors Mr. Lucifer. =D> The walking pose and the shadow warrior helmets makes for a really menacing combination - there's something completely implacable about them. Good work on the fluff also, it matches the models perfectly. As for changing the end date of the competiti...

Another update, this time the Shadow King himself! :D http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/f1359f21-44d3-4003-84d6-c5c13cb5cc93_zpskzqu6i0p.jpg Yes, the Solitaire model was just too cool to pass up on, so I turned it into a conversion of Alith Anar. I did have to green stuff the neck and...

Thanks guys. The green is Kabalite green -> Sybarite green -> white, with various mixes inbetween.

Thank you! Well I've actually managed to finish an entire unit. :shock: http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/085b2d7d-52a2-4db9-9bb7-113b922a6318_zpsffa187c0.jpg Warlocks! Yes I've embraced the dark side that the Khaine book brought us. These models are really nice - some of the funnest ...

Pardon the overexposedness, I can never seem to take good picture of a model. Your pictures do a lot better job of showing off just how colourful this model is than my pictures do. I owe you a big thanks for the awesome model! =D> Edit: I should also add: every single model in this thread so far ha...

@NexS :D @Gandalf_82 Thanks! Yeah, some of the colours are different from my normal ones, but the bronze armour and blue gems make him fit right in. It's a case of different enough to stand out while still being similar enough to fit in. =D> Well now that my secret santa model has arrived, I get to ...

Hah! Yes, that Waystalker was made by me. Credit for the idea itself should go to Aicanor though.

Edit: I've added a bunch of pictures, WiP pictures and probably too much text on the creation of the model in my painting blog if anyone is interested.

I have a unit of Warlocks nearly done which I could submit. However I also have a converted Master and some converted Dark Riders in various stages of being built, and with the time left I may end up with either of those finished in time to submit instead.

Thanks! No new updates on my work just yet. My Warlocks are nearing the finish line, but I'll wait on posting them until they're actually done. However my secret santa arrived! Which I'm very happy about. http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/21cf0f36-eaf5-41b6-9d53-bcdf1301f6da_zpsce7fff...

Check out what arrived in the mail this morning: :D :D http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/21cf0f36-eaf5-41b6-9d53-bcdf1301f6da_zpsce7fff5b.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/2e9175e8-4915-40a7-a522-c50a4f2abe2e_zps5991a1a0.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/...

Done and sent.

Archers are cheaper? But yeah you're right. Either poison or trueflight Glade Guard, or Hand of Glory-boosted-Darkshards are better. Thanks! I appear to be turning to the dark side. :twisted: http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s593/solith3/c4058f59-4961-4a0b-a4c7-c6579cbf75a0_zpsa404ca3d.jpg http:/...
