Fantastic model and very well painted!

[Dyvim tvar]

Wow! Awesome job!

My only issue -- if it's Death Night, shouldn't the witch elf be holding up an elven head?

[D.e. warrior]

very nice conversion dude really!!! wich model did u used for the khaine model? Like the painting of the sword and also the little scenry piece around the couldron!
great job bro!

[Kreol]

Yes, but this was human slave that was stupid enough to cross her way that day.

Khaine model is Avatar of Khaine from FW.

It's been while my last paintings. I had couple years focused on my career and studies with little playing and even less painting hours. Lately (around May) I started back paint my army.

I will post in this week couple models I painted for this 3 month to my Army.

First: 5 models of shades, this is first unit of three. This one is a little conversion from bits I had collected for all of this years:
Heads,legs, cloaks - from Wood elves glade guards
torso: - Dark Elves Warriors
arms: - Dark Elves Corrsairs




hope You like it. soon more photos.(preview in my avatar;) )

*Speechless*

Very nice models.

[cultofkhaine]

Love that cauldron conversion - that has got to be my all time favourite conversion of that unit! I have not seen anything else out there that can top it - and the painting is pretty good as well.

I look forward to seeing some more of your work - have you thought about entering the Masters painting comp.

[xFallenx]

Some seriously good looking stuff here! Would love to see what you could paint up for the painting comp.

[Kreol]

Thank You for all kind words. I'm happy You like it.

I have already enter "RAGING HEROES PAINTING COMPETITION". I'll painting my sorceress, it was only female model on foot i had to paint to my army . Progress photos after the weekend.

Today photos of 9 corsairs I painted. 10th was used for my hero conversion in my next year golden demon project. He will be replaced in unit by Lokhir. He's painting progress is about 95% right now, and I'm waiting for blood paint to arrive.








All comments and suggestions are welcome.

[cultofkhaine]

mmm - candy to my eyes. Nice job!

[Layne]

Very good work. Metal looks good, though you may want to add a bit of contrast to it. I think the faces look a little too red, and the hair looks a little too white. Also, the blending on the purple and the leather is a bit rough. That is, it looks great and you should smash the Raging Heroes competition, but your Golden Daemon will have to be rather better.

Also, it looks like you may have painted some parts of the sea dragon cloaks as if they were metal? You're free to disagree of course but I thought those bits were meant to be part of the cloak. It doesn't make the miniature look bad or wrong, it's just something I noticed.

I hope that is of some service to you.

Regards,

[Kreol]

Ofc, thx Layne. I want all suggestions,especially constructive criticism because this is how we get better.

Skin: weird because I used purple ink instead red to looks more cold. Maybe to much dwarf flesh. I will try more grey hair to.
Metal Collars: I painted champion's armor with similar pattern, and then I decide to go with it as it would be metal.
Blending and contrast - i know i must work on it. But I don't paint one model until it's perfect, I paint try to pick from it as much as i can, and then paint better another. That's way maybe my army will be painted in the end Please remind me in my new works about contrast's and better blending until it will be perfect.

I know I must practice a lot, and GD level is far before me, but IMO making works for competitions is best way to make Your skill better. And also this give me motivation to paint something big as dragon.

Thank You again, I hope You will visit and comment next minis as well.

This is the part where we go "OOOH" and "AWWWWW" and I go
Your resume anda portfolio better be somewhere were 'evy Metal can Get To!"

[Kreol]

Today, I want to show You first 3 models of my Black Guards. The rest will be converted but I waiting for new book to see if they will be good enough to play in a first place, because making things in green stuff is pretty hard ad require much more time. You can see, on standard bearer the same motive like on Avatar from cauldron. I want this Hand of Khaine from Clar Karond be main theme of my army.




Also I want to show You first harpy of second unit I've already painted. Unfortunately last time I was in a studio I didn't make photos of first unit.

[Lord Aenarion]

Great painting!

A tipp if you want models that deserves painting is to use something else for the harpy. Anything at all really, even dwarfs with wings workes better but a really cool conversion is the demon girls with claws

[xFallenx]

To give credit where credit is due, you made the shittiest of models in the GW range look like my mother in law. She's a beast but you put some rouge & lipstick on her and she's ready for a trip to Denny's…..the more I look at your model, the more I think I wouldn't mind being seen with her at the Spaghetti Factory on a Sunday, so you’ve one up’d her. Well done mate!

[cultofkhaine]

@XFallenx you have a wonderful way with words

@Kreol Pure Eye Candy

[Kreol]

@Lord Aenarion - I had ones harpies made from 6ed daemonettes of slaanesh with wings from furies, but it was stolen on tournament After that I bough normal GW models and this was time for me to paint them.

Today I want to show my Assassin. I didn't have idea for him, but after I seen scarf with skull in local shop I thought he would look even more scary while he would look like charging death. I hope You like the idea, I must say after made this skull freehand it was fun to paint him. I know he have very big and nice for free hands cloak, but for me assassins are born killers, and he wouldn't have ornaments with may discredit him from hiding in shadow.

[Lord Aenarion]

Probably some EVIL High Elf!!!

Cool assassin

[Yamagogimon18]

That skull mask is awesome.

Good work!

[Rowena]

That skull mask is awesome.

PS: next week I will post my newest model I made to celebrate pirate day arrrrrr .

[Kreol]

Another week begin, and with it another challenges, for better start I would like present You model I finished to celebrate last week pirate day

It's no 1 Druchii corsair Lokhir. It will be champion for the unit, or (if the rumors are true) maybe corsair hero.

I looked past painted models of him, but I don't like his blades painted red NMM because it's called "red blades", I like thought it's name was took from all the blood it was covered, so I paint that way.




I hope You like it.
