I'm sorry to have to tell you all this, but I won't finish the marauder unit for the german GD. This is due to a neck disease which got worse. So the time I can spend at my desk, I have to use for learning for my studies. This means until my neck is cured, I make a painting pause. Hopefully it only takes a couple of month but it might take longer.

When everything is allright again I will dig out this thread and continue painting.

Cheers

Longtime no see…this is my second mini after a two year break. After dozens of tries to make a proper photos , my lack of skill and my aversion to photoshop them, I had enough and stated the photos as okay for me. Crappy but okay.

So here`s the link without further blah blah:

It is very hard to judge on this picture, it looks very pale. I think the colors on the photo might not be real.
I can just say that the concept is good :)

Well here are some neeewwww picsies from my GD Germany 2012 Duell. Between the Cowboy and the Duell I painted two more figures which I'm not allowed to show yet (if ever...).At this years GD there were loads of entries with a very high painting standard, there weren't even enough finalpins for them...

So without further ado some not sooooo good pictures of my entry:

After the project I can say I would have done a lot different. Starting with the central ray to the whole base+mini arrangement concept and the conversions. But I am satisfied and I learned a lot out of my many mistakes.

So hope you like it and thanks for all critiques, especially the constructive ones.

Cheers

Very nice scene and great paintjob.

I really like the Chaos Termi. Blends are a bit rough here and there (thigh) but that's nitpicking. ;)

For the marine, he's lacking contrast in my opinion. There's lots of room for both highlights and shadows. His blade also looks quite rough blending-wise. (IMO he's dragging that beautiful scene a bit down 'cause he doesn't add up to the standard of the chaos termi.)

But still a beautiful piece with a great paintjob and conversion. :)
