Nightpaw Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi there, a couple of weeks ago I've restarted painting again. My choice fell on very old minis I played with in the late eightys an early ninetys. So far, I have finished a squad Chaos Marines, a dreadnaught and a predator. Enjoy and feel free to leave comments and advice. :P http://wiki.wichtelmord.de/images/a/a4/Final-Takers.jpg http://wiki.wichtelmord.de/images/7/7d/Panzer-final.jpg http://wiki.wichtelmord.de/images/9/90/Rufus-neu2.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248167-skull-takers-chaos-renegades/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Excellent! Lovely paint work and it really brings back memories seeing some of those old RT-era models. Beautiful! Give us more!

Goreshed Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 This makes me want to scourer the great internet auction houses to find all those old RT era models. You've done a beautiful job on those marines.

Cynic Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I love those classic figures; You did a great job getting a biomechanical look about them in the helmet/heads and backpacks.

IamCaboose Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I normally don't like the older models, but the paint job on these is awesome. I like the choice of helmet color, really breaks up all that red/silver. Can't wait to see more!

Kierdale Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Great stuff! I particularly like the eyes on the skull-faced second-from-left. Keep 'em coming!

Nightpaw Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi folks, a picture of the whole army status quo: http://wiki.wichtelmord.de/images/f/f4/Armee.jpg And a close up of my Doomrider: http://wiki.wichtelmord.de/images/4/4d/General-neu.JPG I also will try to change the pictures of my predator and my dreadnought for better ones (see above). Hope you like them, too. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248167-skull-takers-chaos-renegades/#findComment-3011508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazzola Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 That predator is enough to make me want to turn renegade. Nice choice of colours, too.

Nightpaw Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi folks, got some "modern" models this time: melter bikes.

Blckbuster Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 takes me back to the red era, I don't respond very often, but you have moved me to do so, you have done a truly excellent job on bringing the beauty out of sculpts that were not that easy to appreciate, bravo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248167-skull-takers-chaos-renegades/#findComment-3019516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepsis the Unclean Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've got to say my favourite is the Doomrider. What a classic mini, and you have certainly done him justice with top notch painting skills. I look forward to seeing more.

Nightpaw Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks for the friendly comments. :D @ Sepsis: I must admit, the first time I saw the Doomrider model, I thought: "What a piece of crap." The pictures on the GW page and in the codices didn't do him any justice. When I first saw the model unpainted, I fell in love with ist. And when I decided to do some bikers, he was my first choice for the HQ. ^_^ Kind regards Nightpaw Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248167-skull-takers-chaos-renegades/#findComment-3020038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Great job! Probably the best painted RT era force I have seen! My only critique is that the new bikers seem a bit brighter than the rest of the force. But that is a very minor issue. Great models and fantastic paint jobs!

Nightpaw Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 @ Dark: Great to see others painting those great old miniatures. :mellow: And now for something different: Death Guard. I painted them with red shoulder pads and bone helmets to fit into the rest of my army. http://wiki.wichtelmord.de/images/d/dc/Deathguard_final.jpg edit: Better picture now Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248167-skull-takers-chaos-renegades/#findComment-3022679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
