One of my earliest miniatures, pretty bad photo setup so that the picutures came out very dark and hidding a lot of Details.
I always wanted to play around with some reflective white. It's not as shiny as I thought I would go for at first, but using that style, it's more in line with my other Imperial Fists.
I actually didn't plan to paint this until GW-Fanworld decided to have a painting compo with the Indomitus box as central topic. Painted in just under 30 hours.
I painted this for the Golden Demon Winners Challenge 2019/2020. Two Primaris Infiltrators in camouflage searching for a missing Sister of Battle. One of them being an Apothecary, the other calling in via com to the mission control.
I finished this as part of my Striking Scorpions squad and won first place at the online painting competition held by GWFanworld.
I felt like giving justice to some models I started my hobby with and at GWFW a fitting competition at the same time was called 'twins' which I joined (got first place). So here they go.

The usual issue when making a photo also riddled me here: Issues I will need to fix later on. These Hellblasters may be used in a different project later on, so enough time to get back to them.
GW-Fanworld decided to boost people's painting ambitions by making a minor competition every month. So I joined and completed this within 20 days. It clocked in at about 25 hours of work in total. A rather fast paint job, but I like the outcome.
Blood runs... Anger rises... Death wakes. War calls! The title of my board for Armies on Parade 2019. Meant to represent the Biel-Tan swordwind recapturing an old Eldar-planet, a paradise burned down. It won me silver overall and also the categories Best Painted and Monsters & Machines.
I painted this one up for Everchosen 2019. The cloak offered a good opportunity to turn wild with freehands and the vines and thorns with drop-shadow. The feathers were quite a challenge as I wanted them to be highly reflective. The model didn't make the first cut in store, so it didn't progress at the competition.
I had to paint a little side-project while working on my Striking Scorpions. Something awesome and something to complete in much less time due to being a single mini. I included pictures of the entire process that I went through.
Biel-Tan Vyper Jetbikes in all their glory. I liked the idea of the pilots and gunners having these velvet soft jackets in something that might or might not be bright leather. At first I thought of painting the gems on both Vypers differently, then decided against it.
I decided to pimp up the white surfaces a little more with the same 3d effects for the thorn-pattern to look like engraved.
I finally finished my Forge World Phantom Titan for my Craftworld Biel-Tan / Ynn'eal-Tan. I started assembling and painting this model in 2012 shortly after it's release and it took more than 350 hours of work in total. The motivation to finish this model had been very low. But Warhammer Fest came to Düsseldorf and I got it done for the show and won bronce!
I finished the Exarch for my Biel-Tan / Ynn'eal-Tan bladestorm to accompany the squad in order to hand them in for Golden Demon at Warhammer Fest Europe 2018.
Finally finished this Leviathan Dreadnought in awesome Imperial Fists yellow! That thing is a monster. I wasn't aware of how big this beast actually is because I was painting the parts separately. But boy, it is huge. Equipped with Cyclonic Melta Lance and Siege Claw.
Not a Golden Demon entry for sure and unusual plasma gun colour, but I had to paint one of these guys. Straight from the Dark Imperium box a Primaris Hellblaster to support my other Space Marines. Now only the rest of the squad needs to be completed.
I really gotta get forward with my Swordwind army and that means I need some heavy hitting long-range-support. The Eldar Lynx is a pretty solid choice for that and that allowed me to practice some more green Biel-Tan marble-pattern texturing. Freehands still missing as this is heavy work in progress and far from finished.
I've finished with the green marble pattern and white panels for my second Nightwing. Next up will be freehand thorns with drop shadows and Craftworld specific iconography.
Many people asked me how I do my green marble pattern for my Biel-Tan / Ynn'eal tan schema, so I made a tutorial.
The 2nd Nightwing to support my Ynnari force. The upper side will be typical Biel-Tan / Ynn'eal-Tan green and thorns.
To support my side-project with some heavy support, I painted some Devastator Marines I got for cheap. I equipped them all with plasma cannons.
A side-project of mine is to expand on my Space Marines as 2nd playable home-army. These are some basic troops to fill the ranks.
This is one of the most basic Stormcast Eternal Liberator miniatures available and it got painted for a competition where everyone had to use this miniature. Painted entirely in NMM gold (non-metallic metal). I ranked 2nd place.
This is one of the most basic Space Marines miniatures available and it got painted for a competition where everyone had to use this miniature. Painted in NMM (non-metallic-metal) to give it a shiny appearance. I ranked 3rd place.
The last metal aspect models from GW. The hair nearly made me go mad and took me most of the time of these models. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
Still 2nd edition models, because GW had not released new versions in 2016 yet. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
Classic Jes Goodwin plastic jetbikes from the 2nd Edition with metal shrieker cannon upgrades. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
At the time of painting the most recent version of the models. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
This Farseer was the last metal model and part of the Farseer with bodyguard box. I tried some provocative colors. Won a local GW painting compo and a compo at GW-Fanworld.de.
Probably one of the first Eldar-miniatures I ever owned. It is the classic version, a very nice miniature-design I think.
One of my first models using blending techniques. Classic 2nd Edition model.
I first painted it in 1998 with dry-brushing, but reworked it in 2008 entirely.
I tried a little bit of a more modern coloring on these, but still something that was supposed to pop. 2nd Edition models. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
I painted this Fire Dragon as test to see if the colours would match my expectations. I like the firey, flamey look this guy got, so I went for a full squad.
Painted in a very 1990-style schema. Not something I'd do again though ;)
Two Avengers I painted in 2009 to complete the squad. 2nd Edition models. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
Squad painted around 1999, two more painted in 2009. 2nd Edition models. Part of my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan Swordwind army.
I started painting this in 2005, but added more thorns and a proper base much later. I won a local GW painting compo with it.
