I can't stand HALO, but those models look well done, and brilliantly painted.

Wow! Lovely painting.

I can only imagine what ODST stands for...

Orcish Damsels (with) Sexual Tension?

hmm...

Love that camo.
One question though :
did you paint it on the visors too ?
It seems like there are dot's of grey and wite on 'em.  ???

Love them as usual, Dwartist! :-*
But that piece of flash on the leftmost figures left foot is a but of a downer...

From now on I'm sending all my figs to Dwartist to paint.  ;)

Great as usual.

Makes me want to stalk eBay for old metal scouts.

Hadn't noticed that the first time.

However... this discovery proves that Dwartist is in fact a mortal who can make a mistake just like all of us.
Although, it could be the devil playing tricks on us, pretending to be human by deliberately leaving some flash to mask his supernatural painting skills...

Will we ever know ?

Everyone's a critic!  :D


Mark's fault! ::)

Sod off! ;)

Anyway very very pleased with the work David's done for me on my Orbital Shock Drop Troopers from my halo project. Yup metal space marine scouts with head and weapons swops, extra nades and removal of all skullz and eagle bits. Thanks again David, awesome work.

Great job!!!

Cheers. One pistol from an old void mini the other from a little resin seller hidden on eBay some where.

OH my....Those are incredibly nice!!


I'm not sure why the folks above dislike Halo.  I like everything about it.  I've really immersed myself in the 'fluff', and it's quite enjoyable.

Thanks for the gun, commander. I recognized the gun from void (scotia grendel still sell it on the web store), and for the other, i'm gonna spend all the day on EBAY to find it...lol...

Those are some of the best sci-fi figs, I've seen in a while.  Great work.

Now, that's a very good excuse.
Bad craftmanship, Vyper. I hope that the shame forces you to send them to me :D

I totally agree with you here! I've been listening to the HALO WARS soundtrack for the last couple of weeks while working on a project- great stuff.

As for people disliking the games, I think the new game may have some people re-examining their opinions.  ;) Check out this video review:

Such a shame that they didn't go with Martin O'Donnell  for the muscial score, but then again, new trilogy, new protagonists and less focus on the convenant and more on the forerunners so all good really.

Read a few reviews, all sounds very promising. Can't wait till Tuesday, let's hope amazon are true to their word with the limited edition set I've ordered.

Finger's crossed.
