Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Looking good. I can't tell that they're batch painted. It looks more like the careful work of someone working on one at a time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The girls are looking good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 "Speed" must be referring to how fast you're painting them, not the lesser quality usually associated with it! They're looking good, keep up the good work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Knock it off, you're making lazy painters like me look really really bad. Just kidding of course, very nice job. Also thanks for the nitromors tip, I'll have to pick up some up to clean off more terminators. What is the exact name of the paint remover you used?

Davey80y Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 The girls are looking good so far looking at some of these sculpts im not sure there all femail...... sure a couple only have the high neck line to hide the adams apple...... Also thanks for the nitromors tip, I'll have to pick up some up to clean off more terminators. What is the exact name of the paint remover you used? its nitromors just dont even think about putting plastic in it as it melts plasic as soon as it touches it!! for use on metal minis only 1st squads done any thoughts anyone? http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7190003.jpg http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7190004.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 They look cracking, brother! There's a bit of a blob of wash on the back of the cloak on the middle sister (she has a mace) but besides that there's no quibbles from me. Love the teeny tiny green screens on the sister's backpacks, very nice. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 i love looking at your work Davey80y, i remember your Fist from a while ago and its good to see you are consistantly churning out great minis. looking forward to more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khargan Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 for a blitz paint work, these look pretty damn good especially considering how frustrating they are to paint... just why I am selling my pretty much complete new army on the E that is Bay! hmm starting to have regrets about listing it after seeing this? maybe.. this is turning out to be a wang size competition with davey having annihilated my ego :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hmmm...those look to good to be speed painted. The only way to tell is if you send them to me free of charge, and let me carefully examine them for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I looked up nitromors online, looks like they have other products which will work on plastics. I'll head to home depot over the weekend to look around. Thanks again. Also, the first squad looks amazing. I'll have to show this thread to my friend who plays SoB to make him jealous.

Nidhogg_Rider Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I do enjoy how you've already completed a squad whereas it takes me 3 hours to do one model (and not even to the same standard) and have only done 7/10 of a single squad! Amazing stuff <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey80y Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 There's a bit of a blob of wash on the back of the cloak on the middle sister picky git :-P will have a go at sorting it the picture makes it look much worse Hmmm...those look to good to be speed painted. The only way to tell is if you send them to me free of charge, and let me carefully examine them for the next few years. yea no probs i'll do you a swap if you could send me a few hundred £ for me to "examine" for a few years........ :-P I looked up nitromors online, looks like they have other products which will work on plastics do you have a link to the plastic one's would be very intrested in them I do enjoy how you've already completed a squad whereas it takes me 3 hours to do one model (and not even to the same standard) and have only done 7/10 of a single squad! well didnt get much time to work on these today was busy with painting other people's mini's but here's a crappy shot of the next squad i'd say there about 90% done :-) http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7200012.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styygens Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Your SoBs look fantastic. I have my old ones soaking in Simple Green right now for a near future painting frenzy and return to the field. I hope they turn out half as well. What were the interesting bits you used on the bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
