Nice crisp painting as usual :)

 

Suprised by the MM...do you find it useful in the games?

[Bryan Blaire]

Komodo, I think your Landspeeder Typhoon looks great. Very cool job removing the Aquila and putting the Chapter icon in its place. I'm not all that keen on red weapon bodies, but yours have good depth. I like the coloring of the missiles, really makes them stand out. All in all, very cool model!

It sure is if you get close enough to vehicles (like Lemans) back and unload the alpha-strike with 2 krak shots and one melta. It's possible to take down a mighty tank with puny speeder. Imagine 5 of them... :) Next one is going to be with HB, because I got it from ebay for dirt cheap, It had old tornado heavy flamer and ammo racks though, but no HB or MM or crew.

I decided to go for red for this one. It gives a nice contrast. Yellow missiles are my new obsession. I really like how they look with green or black.

Red weapons are the way to go - don't listen to Byran (he know nuttin).

 

Great speeder and to quote Stobz

moar moar moarar!!!

[Gillyfish]

Lovely stuff. The Knights and RW are particularly good, as it the Speeder (although I'm not sure about the yellow missiles - combined with the red fairing they're a little distracting).

[stepper]

Superb angels mate, i really like you're DW ^^

 

Cheers,

Stepper

[Roberus]

Love all your work it looks great

[Komodo]

Thanks everyone. I had quite a delay, had my painting burnout for a couple of months. Today I managed to finish my second RW landspeeder (at last!).

Here it is:

As usual...nice adn clean!

 

Love it :)

 

BTW, the back fender or spoiler or whatever...I've always doubted how to build it: like you did now (which I have don on some models and feels a bit...strange) or the angle facing front.

 

Ya know, one of those deep philosophical discussions which would require beer, shade and being next to the sea :P

[Komodo]

Thanks, Tanhausen!

 

Well... this one was made from two incomplete speeders (and both of them glued with plastic glue, so it wasn't really my choice on how to glue the back spoiler, really :) ) and a leftover bits from my first kit and spare parts like gunner hands, ravenwing upgrade sprue (launchers) and fiddly little bits like a tac. marine bolter hand with glued controls (pieces of plasticard) and left hand of a pilot is actually previous edition tac. marine hand, smaller shoulder, but bigger, meatier wrist with glued pieces of plasticard to reproduce original left control hand bit.

 

Don't know what to paint next. Started some infinity models just to completely heal my painting burnout and paint something not power-armoured. And still a huge box of Wall of Martyrs, me and a friend of mine bought when it was released.

[Isiah]

Komodo, (long overdue)  I need to get your stuff up onto The Dark Fortress, would you be ok with that?

 

Cheers

I

[Master Avoghai]

Well the wall of martyrs idea is not a bad idea due to the release of Apocalypse terrains that adapt with it...

 

Or if you're tired of PA model you still can paint termis :-P (I'm personally close from a bone-white-burnout)

[Komodo]

Isiah, that would be an honour, gladly.

 

Master Avoghai, I'm tired to paint anything 40k related now, switching to paint 3 keisotsu butai I have (as a part of the starter) for more than a year now. Maybe I will make myself a present and paint mortis contemptor dread for my deathwing. It's just so much dark angels figures I have, that their sheer weight sometimes frightens me.

[Komodo]

It's been a while :)

 

Got stuff happened in life, wasn't painting 40k for a looong time. Here is my take on Belial:

[Larhendiel]

Why haven't I seen this before?

Your painting is great! Colours are very vibrant and highlights are well done, I especially like all ravenwing units you've done

But how you've done that Caestus is just plain ACE

[Dark Rage]

A nice addition to your great force and welcome back.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Well done :tu: And welcome back to the Rock.

[Komodo]

Want to represent my deathwing command squad, that I finished recently, got a bit tired of all little details on them:

 

The whole squad:

Hope you'll enjoy them.

[Interrogator Stobz]

I sure do enjoy them :)

 

As always your personalisation and attention to detail is top notch :tu:

 

Those bases and your weathering are brilliant too, such an interesting and well painted squad :D

 

It's great to see so many Brothers come back lately.

[Galthan Ironsturm]

Really beautiful squad !

[Greenz]

Stunning squad! As much as you may be sick of the detail, you did a terrific job picking out a lot of detail, yet keeping it all balanced. I especially love all the free hand work

 

What did you use for the mesh on the base?

[Komodo]

Mesh is a piece of brass etched mesh from GW basing kit. I must admit GW did a great job, been using this kit with almost all of my 40k related miniatures and still got plenty of them left., but when I bought it's RRP was half the current price and I got it with 25% discount. Wouldn't buy it now :) Better search for other brass-etched kits.

[Greenz]

Ah cool, thanks, I'll have to bear that in mind. Haha funny enough I never would've looked to GW for that!
