Outstanding work. I like em.

Please, show us more or at least me as it seems like we're running low on ppl who post much around here lately.

Excellent work.
I'd like to know what parts you used for the conversions of the oblits.
The shoulder pads I know, but the chest pieces, is it green stuffed?

As for the painjob it's mostly very good, you got the metalics nicely and worn/rusty.
The next thing to improve are the hazard stripes.

[kizzdougs]

Thanks guys

@KingOfFools: The chest piece is green stuffed.
Conversion bits:
Oblit 1. Old metal Lascannon, Chain mail from Be'Lakor, SM command squad head, Techpriest servo arm, Inferno pistol.
Oblit 2. Guitar string, Necron rifles, Maxmini head.

Just thought i'd post some updated pics of my IWs.
I've also got a Rhino, 20 CSM, a Contemptor and a landraider to get done some time. Unfortunately this might not be for quite a while as uni and other commitments are taking up most of my time. Needless to say though, a new codex would certainly reinvigorate my hobby

First of all some terminators, loaded out for tank busting.








Siege Berzerkers.
















I've got some FW weathering powders that i plan on using on this minis at some stage. Just to dirty them up a bit.

I hope you like them, thanks for looking

I love the fine detail on your models,,,,esp the chaos symbol on the head

[Drake Malice]

Holy Tzeentch! I am in AWE of your work

[jesseye]

oh jeeze i's drooling! all are good but virus your obliterators! ive said before ive always hated gw's obliterators so wanted my own but ive never had any successes i liked. ive always considered termies but sadly i wont buy any to even use as terminators. but even more than that pic posts!! thats the most i have even seen at one time since i joined!

Pure eyecandy, pure eyecandy.. I dare even to say that those mini's surpass Christian Byrne's ones.. But I have to know, WHERE do I get hold of those über-sexy shoulder guards you have used on your Obliterators?

[kizzdougs]

@The_Virus: Thanks mate. I was pretty hesitant to paint that chaos star but i'm happy with how it turned out. It could have been disastrous.

@Drake Malice: Thanks! Encouragement is always motivational.

@Jesseye: Thanks for the encouragement. I'm not a huge fan of the GW Obliterators either on account of the sculpt and the price. Plus building your own version of an existing model is alway fun and more rewarding.

@Loki: Thanks mate, thats a big compliment!
The termi shoulder pads were bought. I think they are just a little too big for termis but they turned out alright for the Obliterators. Also they are solid pieces, ie. no room for the termis arm to fit into. I just had to cut the arms off bellow the shoulder and glue them on.

I love your work, keep it up!

[Ulfast]

Wow, that was some beautyful painted IW. Specially liek your oblerators and warsmith. So well done! Hope to see more.

[jesseye]

yes for obliterators they are perfect. one thing that has hung me up on my own is no matter what i did they just looked blah. so i use minis from another company, hasbro lmao!!

[Iron Skull]

With regards to your painting and minis in general: One word, three syllables....... awesomeness

[deathmonkeymarine]

On your gold highlights, did you go all the way up to mirthril silver(or eqv)?
