MAY PAINTING SHOWCASE

Hello and welcome to May’s painting showcase, where we have a bumper month of hobby related awesomeness as painted by the nerds at the Spartans. There are lots and lots of really well painted mini’s for you to enjoy and remember you can always click on the pictures for a closer look. So without further ado lets get cracking…

First up we have Dunk with a mega collection of entries from papa nurgle. The skin  looks fantastic and seriously necrotic with some nice blends from the greens and pinks on the tentacles and around the wounds. Along with a very nice and crisp Abaddon on a great looking base. And to top it all off he’s started on some Malifaux with a sexy samurai senorita looking lovely in red! Seriously high quantity and and high quality!! well dont Dunkers you are defo completing with Paul for that Mass production title now!

Next we have Matt and a rather odd looking chap that s cross between deadpool and the lass above for the new game all the cool kids are playing down the club, which means I have no idea what the game is called but i think you will all agree its looking rather dashing and the leather straps have been very well done, all in all top work Matthew!

Next we have Rob and a merry bunch of Hobbit miniatures with lovely painted mounts and bases. These look like they have a really cheery paint job and the horses look fantastic. Along with some more mini giant robots for his adeptus titanicus maniple, which are looking hot as tits! well done Honey Monster!

A continuación tenemos al Sr. Marlow y una gran colección de entradas. Ha estado trabajando en sus personajes de respaldo para D&D. Me encantan los tonos de piel púrpura y los ojos se han hecho bien en los soldados. ¡Las habilidades están literalmente mejorando con cada mes! ¡sigue así compañero!

Next we have Luke with a weird collection of minis, which i have no idea where or what system they are from but they look really cool and i love the uniform muted brown and earthy colour palette.  They almost have a motion animation feel to the models in the realms of Nick Park. Lovely stuff Luke they have loads of character, well done!. 

Up next we have Si who has made a start on his 30K Solar Auxilia allied detachment, which his take on the 142nd C’Thonian Headhunters loyal to the Warmaster Horus. Since Forge World have discontinued the transfers he decided he would try to free hand all the symbols… needless to say he’s sick of the sight of skulls!

Next we have Paul with a very lowly model count for his usual output but it looks absolutely stunning! Such a lovely brass effect that even with such  a close up of the model it still looks clean and crisp! Fantastic work Mate!

On to the next lot which is Neil and some marvellous ghouls and ghosties. First off the colour scheme is absolutely sublime and i just love how the deep rich blood red contrasts against the ghostly green and they take a lovely picture against the black back drop. I especially love the horse mounted chap and the bases look fantastic! Neil has also continued with his stormcasts which once again look very splendid! a very top month of work here Neil lad, well played!

On to the next lot with Joel and his Heresy era Imperial Fists heavy support with a dirty 10 man Volkite Culverin squad, which are absolutely brutal in game and will look absolutely stunning while they are removing your models! Lovely yellow offset with the MkIII face plates of a different colour it really gives the unit character and uniqueness and look great! Lovely stuff mate!

and last but not least we have Greg with a might fine recommissioned Imperial knight looking all knightly! A lovely clean paint job with some fantastic looking lenses and good use of transfers to create the image of a battle hardened veteran! Lovely stuff Greggles!

So there we have it, another fantastic looking collection of mini’s, we hope it gets your creative juices flowing to paint something up during June so until the next time i shall leave you with the immortal words of Snr Marlow.

Si te falta dinero y quieres hacer menta barata después de la cena, ¡simplemente congela un tubo de pasta de dientes y córtalo en rodajas finas para que tus invitados disfruten!

APRIL PAINTING SHOWCASE

Apologies for ANOTHER very late monthly round up of hobby goodness from all the geeks and gals in at the home of the Spartans. Remember you can always click on the pictures for a closer look so lets get straight into it in alphabetical order this month..

first up we have Angel who seems like she hasn’t painted anything for a while and then steps up and knocks it out the park with this little number. Great work on the fabrics and the wooden trench work behind, You have managed to create a great sense of character in this little piece, well done hun!! hopefully we start to see some more entries in May.

Next we have Dan G and a mix of some heresy era space wolves and DnD characters. Love the grey colour scheme for the heresy wolves offset nicely with the red and black shoulder pads. Love the fellhanded model as well great power claw! look forward to seeing more of these soon.

Next we have Dunk and a mammoth collection of fantastic looking models from the chaos marine range. Great OSL on the plasma guns along with the nice crisp finish to the metallics and black armour… in fact there’s so much goodness just go and have a rummage through and enjoy the pictures! i’m sure we are in for another bumper month in May as well… lovely stuff Dunkers!

On to the next with Greg with some lovely looking fallen Thousand Sons with a really bright striking blue which looks so vibrant and contrasts nicely against the red and the gold. The finish is nice and crisp and the termies look really nice, all in all a very nice paint job all round. good work Sir!

Next we have John who has managed to do some hobby 2 months in a row!! wowser! he’s made a start on some titanicus models and they look like they’re coming together nicely with some nice mettalics. look forward to seeing these finished up and on the table top!

Next we have Luke who has also been working on some black legion chaos marines and these also look very nicely done. the gold looks especially nice and has a real depth to it and really makes the models pop.  Awesome work Luke

Next we have Max with a strong debut to the showcase with his World Eater Khan model mincing his way through his enemies along the crimson path and has the blood stains to prove it! Really nice blue on the shoulder pads to contrast the white and the blood effects. We look forward to more seeing more entries!

Next we have Neil and a cracking looking ghostly gang of AOS models. Really love the green spectral effect he’s created with the green through to white with such smooth blends. I also really like the silly ghost who has managed to confuse himself by getting his head stuck under a blanket and can’t stab his way out… really top work on the fabric and the bases!

Next we have Nick and some rather dashing and weird looking chaps that have been painted with a variety colour pallets that have created to generate a real interest ot each model and makes them stand out to snap, crackle and pop!! These are a loverly looking bunch of models Nick!! top work young man!

Next we have Rob and some heresy goodness starting with a very crisp jet bike squadron that looks really nice with the clean blue and white and metallic trim… give them 5 minute and they will be covered in blood, gore and filth!! He has also painted up some very cool iron warriors complete with hazard stripes and gold trim against the silver works very well. And the final piece is a mad looking chaos riding dark mech creature thingy… very cool Rob very cool!

Next we have Paul and some angelic looking models with a great collection of sisters of battle and the new St Celestine model. What i really like is the crisp white set against the lovely gold and scrolls of the armour. Love the white stripe in their hair too for a little touch of character. Great stuff Paul lad keep it up!

Finally we have Steve with a lovely dark elf witch that really jumps out at you not only with the pose but also the pastel pale flesh tones that have been very well blended to maximise the highlights and the shadows. The black boots have a lovely sheen to them, which is tricky to accomplish to make a natural leather look. they blues, gold and reds also look lovely and frame the model nicely. top work!

So there we are better late than never… hopefully May’s will come around a bit quicker!
