Приве́т!


They're a bit like the 'real' orks (in space), aren't they? You should try and find matching clear plastic domes to fit on their suits' rings.


If they're as large as I recall, small coin dispensed toy capsules should work. If you can still find them.  ;)

Bretons are perfect subject for sci-fi (or, better, sci-fantasy) conversions! They have their own construction difficulties, but usually it is not much of a problem.

If the rumors of no place for them in Age-of, then that's a comforting thought.  lol

Interesting painting style, I rather like that space dwarf  :-*

Oh, HELL yes! Love the stuntie as well! I've still got my small army...

He's not GW, right? Naggin' familiarity, but not placing same. From whence?

Thank you, gentlemen!

This dwarf initially was a handgunner-officer from the "Battle of the Skull Pass". Removed some parts, added some parts. I converted this miniature long ago, and recently found it abandoned in a bits-box ))

When Imperial Inquisition asks for assistance, who is a guy to say "no"???  8)

Menacious inquisitor with a passion to combat psy-powers:










Flamboyant rogue trader, requesting air support or just listening to some sports-broadcast:

Lovely stuff! I really like your painting style. Is there any chance of getting a photo or two of minis mid-game or something? I'd love to see how the painting style looks in its natural habitat!

Thank you! I'll try to make some in-game photos, if the lighting allows that  ::)

So, next in line - notorious pirate/rogue Sc'Oundriel. Rumors tell he sold his soul to some unspeakable chtonian deities, but others describe it as a dirty trick - this guy never had any soul at all.

Another great one - full of character. What mini is it based on?

Oh, whole load of different spare parts! He has a torso of Perry' zouave standard bearer, head, shoulders and sabre of a Cold One Knight, some fragments of imperial knight's banner, space marine's pistol. And a hand of Wargames Factory' american colonial militiaman.

That's awesome! I really admire the ability to take very different bits and integrate them into a coherent miniature.

Really impressive! I miss this tread so far: I echo other comments about your panting style, I love it, it's very impressionistic! Keep on sharing!

Thank you all!  :) I'm really glad to read your comments!

Speaking about tutorial... in fact, never done any kind of tutorial before, but I think, it could be interesting experience!) So I'll keep this in mind.
