Over last weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Mathieu Fontaine’s Master Class again in Vancouver. He was here around 5 years ago teaching the same class, but using a GW Ogre model. This time, the class was on the Dark Age Goliath miniature. Unfortunately, the miniature was not casted well with far too much mold release, so the paint wasn’t sticking. But, I got through it.
I chose green skin to do something different. I believe I was the only one in the class to do green (others were blue, purple, human-ish, etc). Purple shading across the skin for the extra pop. A purple glaze on the steel to tie it in with the model. All in all, a very fun class.

Almost like the Tacticals, but the main difference being the gold helmets. Also fancy guns.

3 squads of marines have guns now. Battle ready and looking sharp. There is also a rose among these minis. The Anniversary Marine. Painted similar to the box art.

This guy was fun to paint. I have finally had a chance to push myself a bit, to see what I can really do. Super happy with him. I managed to give different texture to the clothing, give his face life (sort of), and do some NMM.
I am most happy with the hat. It’s almost like denim or something. The face, I tried to paint the shadows on so I don’t need to rely ambient lighting to cast the shadows I want. The first image below has very few shadows from my lighting setup, for example.
The NMM bits include the buttons and the shoulder lapels. Feels good to do it again.

Started this guy tonight. The Tiger Ace Michael Whittmann 1/9th scale miniature bust. It took me the better part of the stream just to do the hat, around 2 hours. And I love the hat. I cannot get over how happy I am with the hat.
The texture is exactly what I wanted. Worn, sort of wool texture. A dark hat turned grey in the sun. I spent the better part of 10 minutes just appreciating my work.

Display Dreadnought Commission May 14, 2017

A single Space Marine Ironclad Dreadnought done at display standard. I chose Imperial Fist colours because I haven’t done yellow in a long time and it easily stands out. This was also a rare opportunity to use weathering powders and other techniques to make it look like it fit in the scene of destroyed urban streets. This was the first time I got to use my newly acquired stencils, being the street markings on the base.
The chainsaw has copious amounts of gore on it as well as a more-than-subtle splatter effect on the left side of the dreadnought. Almost as if the blood would be mostly on the side when it eviscerates people. The final detail was in the form of a decal on the Hurricane Bolter side denoting “V”. Whatever the viewer may interpret that as.
All in all, I am very pleased with this piece and had lots of fun painting it on stream for my viewers to enjoy. They loved witnessing the process and I loved explaining my steps and thought process to them.

The first squad complete. Tactical Marines with a heavy flamer and a melta gun. The Sergeant/Captain has a Melta pistol and Powerfist. I’ll be painting the bolters all at once after I’ve done the infantry.

A Warhammer 40k commission. The Emperor’s own Blood Angels, no less! A nicely sized strike force is on the block, ready to be painted. The completed models are for reference only and not done by myself.
