Rob_Loken Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm always blown away by how much detail you pack into these weedudes. Massive Kudos to you.

Vaaish Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thanks! There's quite a bit more coming through eventually, but I'm breaking it up with a few side projects here and there.

Vaaish Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Again I fail to do much responding to my thread. Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words. I'm back with what will be the first of quite a few rapid updates if the next week goes as planned. I'd like to finish up 4 dreadnoughts, 8 rhinos, and another 8 stands of infantry if I can before the new year before moving on to some more battletech and 40k. Anyway, here's the second blood ravens tactical detachment. I am fairly pleased with these outside of my constant problem with contrast. I am how ever about to beat the tar out of something because I can NEVER get my dull varnish to actually, oh, I don't know, BE MATTE. Doesn't matter the temperature, humidity, brand, or time of day the stuff refuses to actually make what I spray it on matte. Makes me want to chuck the can into a bonfire for the heck of it. Anyway, I'm going to give it another go tomorrow and perhaps the fates will align and I'll actually get rid of the glossy finish. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brtac02.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193057-vaaishs-epic-thread/page/5/#findComment-2949800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Awesome stuff as always. Shame about the varnish, but it does not dull your skills as the best Epic painter I've ever seen.

Isiah Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Stunning stuff Vaaish. Makes my eyes go boggly looking at the pictures - let alone painting anything that small to that level of detail!!

Vaaish Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks! Oddly, it seems as the varnish has cured more it's turned more matte. The next week should see a spike in epic models though so stay tuned for the rhinos and dreads :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193057-vaaishs-epic-thread/page/5/#findComment-2951461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaaish Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ok, this has been a whirlwind week. I (rather foolishly) decided that I could finish out a ton of epic models in the time I had since I was off work for the holidays. Well, I did get them all done today so I guess that's something :lol: However, this was by far the most exhausting paint session I've had in a long while painting up something like 700 points of epic IIRC. I'll be taking a break from the Blood Ravens to do a Battletech commission and another small project. I may actually end up working on the 40k dread conversion after those too.... or BFG. Anyway, happy new year everyone! The assault and dev detachments. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brasdev.jpg The rhinos that go with the previous detachments of tacticals and the dev det here. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brrhinos01.jpg Random dreads, they seem a bit drunk from partying for new years.... http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brdread01.jpg and here's the entire chunk painted up this week. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brgroup.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193057-vaaishs-epic-thread/page/5/#findComment-2955442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickSix Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Simply amazing. You must be using some kind of jeweler's visor or magnifying glass. That is just an incredible amount of detail on such tiny models!

Vaaish Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks, No maginifying equipment though, just patience. :P I would have given closer shots but the pics turned out slightly blurry so I left them at the size it worked the best.

Vaaish Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I actually finished these up yesterday but I had to get them sealed tonight before I took photos. Unfortunately this ended up being an exercise in my new grass battle mat basically saying I'm sooo awesome I'm glowing radioactive green, pay no mind to the minis you are trying to take pics of. It has now been banished until some tone adjustments can be made. The actual minis look so dark red due to them being underexposed ere the grass blow out entirely. Basically that means the group shot of the blood ravens preds and whirlwinds is all I'm willing to post until I can retake the shots tomorrow night. So, get your sunglasses and enjoy. You might be able to see them if you squint. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brwwpred.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193057-vaaishs-epic-thread/page/5/#findComment-3000070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazzola Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I finally made my way through all five pages and I must say, you sir, are amazing. I was initially impressed by the detail until you provided the scale pictures, at which point I think I may have experienced a mild stroke. Brilliant job :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193057-vaaishs-epic-thread/page/5/#findComment-3002908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araziel Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 This is truly fantastic work. No doubt you've heard this innumerable times, but seriously - WOW. I may have a crack at the giant box of original Space Marine Epic stuff I've had sat in my painting room in a box for the last ten years after seeing this. Seriously. Wow!!

Vaaish Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks! I like to think that this at least somewhat proves you can have a decent looking 6mm army. It's my personal belief that epic and BFG were two things that GW got right, both with models and rules.

Vaaish Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 And we are back :) Had a rough semester of grad school which left very little painting time. Thankfully I have very understanding clients. Finishing up the last of the razorbacks for the Blood Ravens this time. They went together a tad dark mainly because my delvan mud wash was a bit thick. Should be fixed now. Next up Blood Raven land speeders.... then back to the strike cruisers and mechs before I disappear to work on something special. http://www.twolandscreative.com/wip/epic/brRazorbacks02.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193057-vaaishs-epic-thread/page/5/#findComment-3055140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
