Another commission under way here, this time some Solar Auxilia Veletaris from Forge World. The models are great and a real change from the usual GW stuff. Still need to finish the bases on these and then get another 5 finished.

Copied from my FB page:

Base coat mix of VMA Steel, VMC US Olive Drab and a bit of black. Then highlight up adding more Steel. Quick wash of GW Nuln Oil with a bit of Agrax Earthshade. Then some paint washes of different thicknesses. Mostly a mix of VGC Charred Brown and VGC Imperial Blue. A bit of VGC Parasite Brown for the rust. Then pick out the edges and detail with Steel again.

I think I should really try and do some sort of tutorial considering how often that question pops up.

Thank you, much appreciated and yes, a tutorial would be relly fine

Almost as stunning as the paint job, though the good sculpts could have been undermined by the usual garish colours.

Well done!

Wait. That's already been said by those who can actually paint...

Hope it doesn't offend, but these would be great as miners ala Outworld. Salvage crew ala Firefly or opening of Aliens. Colonist home guard.

Oh, hell. Beautiful AND so damn useful.

I think they're really versatile models. There's a hint of steam punk, maybe a bit of Victorian sci-fi, a touch of Fallout and even a vague bit of Bioshock in there. All good stuff.

Please stop posting ... each time I see your work I want to quit painting.
Really incredible work with a fantastic personal style which is very recognizable.

I'm a big fan.

Wow that is a stunning paintjob. And some equally good models. I didn't know them. I guess I hould take a peak at forgeworlds site. They could be used for so many things.

Beautiful metals - just top paint all round. And I really like those models too...
