LOL - that is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.

You have a lot to live up to now, I expect to see a frame by frame of your next model - so when I scroll down the page it's animated :D

My progress thusfar. This is shortly after the wash. The skin and weapon handles are done. The red armour needs one final touch up and highlight. The rest is yet to be done. It's a true pleasure paintng them, but man.... So many details!

Very impressive - I love the way that the white foreground contrasts with the metallic silver backdrop, and the precision on getting the squares exactly right is breathtaking. Now, all you need to do is remove the distracting miniatures from the foreground and we can get a much better view of the keyboard.

Oh, wait, it's the minis we're meant to be looking at? Well, they look pretty splendid too :P

And finished. That went a little bit quicker than I expected. I even forgot to take pictures until the end.

Mighty lord of Khorne finished.

This Lord, the blood secrator, blood warriors and blood reavers were used as a small army in a 2v2 tournament this weekend. Much to my surprise, I won 2nd place in best painted army. The winner was uncontested (amazing work!) but I felt second place was more contested, with a nicely painted Sylvanneth list. It was a nice surprise and I wonder if it wasn't simply because the colour scheme stands out.

Congratulations on the 2nd place. Great achievement, the warband looks very cohesive as a whole so richly deserved.

For this band it will be the Khorgorath and then the Bloodstoker, if only to finish one starter box. After that, probably a second Khorgorath. I get 2 for 1 point in army size here, so it would be good to have 2. And then 10 Blood Warriors but that's probably not for March.

There's just some competition for my dark elves. I don't want to finish March without finishing one DE unit this quarter. I'll try to finish my spearmen with shields, at least.

Instead of one Khorgorath, I went ahead and painted both at the same time ;)

Superb skin indeed! And good lighting to show it off. Moooar!

My damaged studybrain first went to the board behind the models, trying to make sense of it :D

Thanks.

As for the background... Those would be graphs and calculations used throughout my theorycrafts.
- Upper left corner, depicts the cannon scatter over a square base, and the geometric formulas to calculate the hit chance
- Bottom left, binomial distribution which computes all outcomes for simple attack profiles
- center and right, Algebraic simplification (though more bothersome to calculate) and translation of polynomial coefficients to probabilities for different outcomes, used to calculate more complex attack profiles. Substitution and multiplication briefly shown.
The combination of these formulas doesn't make a lot of sense. I only put them there to look smart.

It shouldn't be legal for one person to be that smart and that good at painting. It's just not fair. ;)

Those look beastly! Well done! As already mentioned the shading and blending look amazing and the colors compliment each other nicely.

The latest addition for Januari's challenge. I have only a few more bloodwarriors left, but I think I'll spend some time painting Dark Elves instead :D
