This unreleased Warlock is one of 3 copies in the world. The legendary Juan Diaz made the conversion and I painted it for Olden Demon 2023.
This unreleased Warlock is one of 3 copies in the world. The legendary Juan Diaz made the conversion and I painted it for Olden Demon 2023.
I painted this Warlock from the plastic release in white thorns to mimic my very old Warlock painted in the last millenium. One arm is from the Skyrunner kit. The cacti plants are self-sculpted in 3d and then printed.
When GW sent me the new 2022 plastic Guardians before release, these were the ones I was looking for the most to paint. The green ended up much brighter than planned, but I love it. The white was my first attempt of strong white reflective material.
I had the honour of receiving and painting up the new 2022 plastic Dark Reapers early before release and got featured on Warhammer-Community with these.
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 finish my remaining two Vypers and since I have changed my style and improved on my freehands over time, these two both are painted with the usual mottled effect and the 3d drop shadow effect on the vines.
I decided to pimp up the white surfaces a little more with the same 3d effects for the thorn-pattern to look like engraved. It earned a Commended Entry card at Golden Demon UK 2023.
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. They earned a Commended Entry card!
The other side of the knee with the rune of Biel-Tan. Also painted in NMM (non-metallic-metal) with a drop-shadow to give it more defition and elevation.
I painted a rune on the side of the Phantom Titan's knee. It's the rune of Ynnead which is the Aeldari god of the dead. Painted in NMM gold (non-metallic-metal) with a fake drop shadow to give it a 3d effect.
The cockpit of the Eldar Phantom Titan with the pilot seat. I kept the armour green as the rest of the titan to fit the Craftworld. The surrounding shall reflect bright wood or wraithbone. With contrasting deep orange gems.
Because a simple vane pattern wasn't popping enough. I think adding a fake 3D effect helped massively to give it an impressive look.
I decided that going for just plain white holofins would be a too boring waste compared to the rest of the detailled body of the Phantom Titan and thus have been exprimenting with a thorns patter which would be subtle enough to still give them a white feeling.
My Striking Scorpions, fitting in shrine green and black undersuit as all my newer aspect warriors. Black areas partly done, green done.
60 more gems to do until this Wraithknight is finally finished and may serve my Biel-Tan swordwind Aeldari.
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.
My Ynnari force of the Biel-Tan splinter fleet Ynn'eal-Tan needs some heavy support. I'm satisfied how the marble-pattern and thorns turned out thus far. But I'm not finished yet.
It feels like I am painting this thing for ages. But I wanted something spectacular. So I improved my Ynn'eal-Tan / Biel-Tan color schema even more with marble patterns, drop-shadows and freehands.
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. They won a Commended Entry Card at Golden Demon EU 2018.
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. It got a finalist pin at Golden Demon Warhammer Fest EU 2018.
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.
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.
I customized the turret and added shapes to the front and back, since I don't like the standard Serpent turrent very much.
I started painting this in 2010, but I will probably completely repaint it using a marble pattern.
This unreleased Warlock is one of 3 copies in the world. The legendary Juan Diaz made the conversion and I painted it for Olden Demon 2023.
