Today i was able to make pictures of three warbands of mine.

For the great work cianty and co put into the BtB Supplement i start today with my Chaos Marauders.

SOME VERY COOL STUFF...cianty is going to flip out! You've got a TERRIFIC mix of minis...some are old favorites & some I'm totally unfamiliar with. The Dark Emissary is one I've had the pleasure of doing several time; it's a GREAT mini & you've done a WONDERFUL job with the piece. ALL VERY WELL DONE!

The barbarians....I actually have these models!!! Great!!

Love the taurus head with tyranid claws.

Ah, my nemesis, awesome warband, i think they´re a bit overpowered, but who cares, as long as we can play mordheim and have fun, ha?! And nice to see some of my old modells again, my first convertion, the taurusguy, nice, i should never have sold him to you!)

Another smashing warband - your painting is really good. The marauder rule set is indeed tempting. My favourites: the champions (I like those Celtos women), the seer, and of course Kjelldalf himself musing over slaughters that were and those that will come (btw, those pants of his are to die for, but I guess that if you told him so he might decapitate you...).

The hired sword is beautiful... a lovely miniature, well painted.

And isn't it a Lammasu head, not a Taurus head? (or is my memory of the Big Hats a bit off...?)

@5pointer: I love this miniature as well. It is Eyriss a Warmachine mercenrary.

about the mentioned head i am not sure, maybe floedebolle can answer this question, because he created this modell about 10years ago.

I updated 4 pictures. Especially the marauder henchman are loking very well now (Because i used a matt finish on them )

Definitely the best warband of yours! First 2 minis - amazing. And I like also those henchmen marauders - skin is really nicely painted. But try to do something with their eyes. I've seen other your warbands. You made big progress with painting everything but eyes. They're too big. It's not easy but I'm sure that you will manage Try maybe to buy a very small brush. Even now you can still make it better - some of those big-eyed models would look better, if you'd paint a brown line around the eyes.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your tips. I saw your models and now that your painting style is way in an other league.

You are right to paint eyes it is so difficult for me.

Three of these minis are not painted from me:

The seer, the dark elf assassin and as mentioned before the Spawn (by floedebolle).

The seer and the dark elf was painted on commission. Unfortunately the artist is not in buisness any more. On the good side this brought myself to paint them on my own. And so i discovered painting as a really relaxing evening activity.

The beastmen will get some mor attention within my next rework. I think they are playable but not really finished.

But nevertheless, thank you for your tips. I will buy a thiner brush for the eyes. the black, brown and blue dots i already paint with an artist pencil, maybe it is also possible to paint the white bigger dot with one of them too.

I will try it and show you the results.

He does the same mistake I was doing in my debut. For eyes, you should never paint a white circle with a black dot in the center. This give an awry look (like the mini is on a full dose of Mad cap mushroom).

Man, for eyes, you should first do a black oval, than smaller white oval an finally a small black dot.
You should check for tutos on the web. There are plenty of them.

Good luck.. you show promises !



PS: Personally I often simply dont do the eyes on some miniatures because I often ''scap them'' because its really hard to do !!

Just wanted to add what a brilliant job you've done on the barbarians.

I've got some of those miniatures stashed in my draw or cupboard someplace...

The spawn has a Lammasu head from the Chaos Dwarf range. That is a crazy conversion. Very cool idea.
