basically, i'm just doing a quick paint-up to get everything playable in a tournament setting. with 'paint or die', if you ever go back over you models at any time while you're still working for GW, then you will still count as losing the bet. (and thus suffer the unimaginably evil consequences!)

the real 'paint or die' challenge in insane - if you lose, you don't have job at GW anymore... that's why it's called 'paint or DIE!'
mind you, two of the three guys from gw burlington have at most about 50pts worth of stuff done! (and that's between the two of them...) mr. kraatz though is now over half done his chaos marine army!

cheers!

thanks hairy! anyways... UPDATE!!! mainly the same as before but hey, they're nearly done! (for me, that's awe-inspiring!) plus the termies. they're primed and ready to go for a first coat of paint...
so here's some more photos for everyone to enjoy;











(the one you've all bee waiting for... i hope it turns out okay this time?!)







whew! i haven't had much painting time sadly. still, i've nearly got the 1st squad done and the 1st half of my devi squad now have the armour fully highlighted...
as for the termies? i still haven't decided how to paint them??? i'd like to add in some deep reds & oranges to really bring out the sinister nature of the chapter... (they're bloody arrogant in the pursuit of their ideals and have occationally been mistaken for renegades!) any thoughts??!

and now, because they've been asked for, here's a couple last teasers; my lamenters libby and... ... ...
little devius!!!





enjoy! and please continue on with the beatings as i really need a good thrashing seeing as i still haven't even finished building 'stampy' after 5 days or so...

cheers!

preeettyyy piiiiiccctuuurreeesssss!!!!!

the termie poses look truely awesome! as for painting them, the scheme on the marines loks kinda redish already so maybe mix iin some/some more red at each stage and orange for the highlights? or start with dark brown and highlight up through red to orange in 6-7 stages? might be a bit too time consuming for this particular project though

lastly...would you mind posting that assassin pic in your assassin thread?

i believe it's mainly the light as i've gone over the termies with a light coat of black already to hit the spots the primer missed... either way, it'll get hit in the end as they're be a layer or two of ink washes!


hairy; i think i might go for the brown on the legs, and then red/orange on the torso??? maybe the crux terminatus shoulder pad too?!

i'll also have to ask my mate if i could perhaps 'borrow' his digi cam for the astro event... my stuff isn't anywhere near the 'best' that shows up! (ie: we have multiple golden demon winners coming who show the rest of us up because they can!)

oh well, back to painting now!
cheers!

can i perhaps talk you out of this? please?!? i very seriously doubt that this will look good. two tone schemes really need to be quartered imo, halved left/right at a push, but never ever halved top/bottom! it just doesn't work. try it if you must, i've been wrong before , but not on anything you value too much.

i still say as i did before, start with brown and highlight up to orange in stages.
