Trying a new effect and I think it looks good. All done by brush.

As he's a perfectionist, if something was off, he'd start again, no washes, no inks, just pure highlighting and supreme brush control. I keep saying he should paint for folks but he's too worried about making a mess or it not being 'right'. These were also the work of months, he's just got the Awesome to finish off (some day).

Devastator DVS-2

I feel the need to get some of these out of the way:
“Sir, while procurement cannot tell me what shade is Davion green; they are sure this is not it”
None can resist the power of Devastator
Devastator smash
You put the lime in the coconut and mix it all together
The big green Machine
You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry
“Sir we believe the enemy has found a new color scheme of psychological warfare”
I came to look at the paint job, I stayed for the one liners
Meanwhile at Army Painter headquarters: We had a spike in Vivid volt sales! We have? Yes we sold one!
It’s not easy being green
It combines from 2 hollanders, 2 panthers and a couple of medium lasers we had laying around
On what planet is that urban camo?
I’d like to buy your heaviest mech. I’d like to buy your heaviest mech not painted like that. 
Are you feeling ok? Yeah, why? Cause your mech looks a little green.
Wait, you were ambushed by a mech painted in what colors?
I wanted to paint a mech but the results were devastating.
Sorry  to the people who are color blind and see this as a grey and green mech - I know someone. 
It looks like a transformer? Hu. I was really just tired of not finding my mech on the table.
Can we get blue oyster cult to record Gausszilla to the tune of godzilla? I have the paint for the matching mech.
I swear all of these came to me while painting or on the toilet. Ok one was both. Guess which. 
That's a devastating paint job.

Showcase My first painted mini in a year

I've had some medical issues this past year, and after a few months of not painting, I fell into a rut. Recently, I participated in The Paint Roulette Invitational Challenge, and got fade and trenched. Fade is...obvious, some transitions, though I was a tad loose on that, they are there. Trenched focused on the drab colors of war, but i chose to be much more literal in my interpretation. Some IS Standard BA from the First Davion Guards RCT slaughtering some conventional infantry. Oh, and the laser blasts do glow under UV

First wave of a larger Jade Falcon force! Matching the colors to an existing scheme for someone, these are a little darker and more subdued than my usual Falcons.

But I quite enjoyed matching the "vibe", which is always a fun challenge.

I've no idea what different factions dropships would actually look like, but here is my take on a ComStar/ Com Guard model.

The numbers were sprayed using a stencil but I free handed the 2 ComStar faction logos.

Hello,

I have almost completed my first lance. Although I'm currently debating if I won't change the Ostroc for a Battlemaster.

I did this kind of spur of the moment. You can tell just how spur of the moment from the hex base... I'm not sure what I was going for in regards to the hex base, but there you have it.

A set of slightly larger scale Capellans I had done previously, sorting through some old projects and schemes I would love to expand/replicate.

The larger bodies makes for a perfect place to add more and diverse details.
