Xander:
Awesome stuff, love the Great Weapon conversions. 
Corker:
To start with, absolutely great job on the conversions, and painting, and everything. I have a couple of questions. First, on the blue, particularly on the shields and armor for the guys you posted first, did you use non-metallic metallics on it or was it just reflecting a bright light that you took the picture under, because if you did all of that light sourcing yourself, it was absolutely phenomenal. Also the highlighting used to do the inside of the wood shields was exceptionally done, it really has that real life wood pattern to it. And lastly, I’m not all that familiar with the Warriors of Chaos sprue, so I was wondering if you freehanded that banner. Because, once again, even if it wasn’t the paint job on it was just amazingly done. Also, I gotta say, I absolutely love the little blue flames on the bottom of the robes. Overall, this is an exceptionally painted army. Good job sir. :cheers
Loki:
Once again great work on the army its really coming together, how many points are you up to now ? also what else do you plan to put in to it ?
Fequiil:
one word: totaly awesome! err…wait a sec…
Nicodemus:
Stellar work, fantastic conversions, mixes of models, staging of units and paint scheme/colour choices. My Dawi Zharr would ally themselves with your forces any day!
PsychosisPC:
Thanks again guys.
Answers to some of the questions: I�?Tm not big on the term NMM, (its one of those odd miniature painter terms imo) to me I call it painting. That is paintwork on the armor and shields and not the photography lighting. I try to do that and the armor with a bit of light sourcing involved and semi-reflective-ness etc, it�?Ts a very similar style to the way I draw and do 2D artwork to highlight all of the geometric shapes in a simplified manner. A lot of it I just use a real creative license on to put highlights in locations that I think they would look neat and maybe occur at. The best way to describe what I�?Tm doing is go and look at car or motorcycle with a nice shiney paint job.
The wood is something that I started doing back on beastmen a long time I go and just kept doing, sort of helps give that extra pop when people really start looking at the armies. When I paint armies, I keep in mind that I want to attract people�?Ts attention from 2-3 feet away, but when you do that you need to keep their attention, so for those people that continue to look at it they see more and more details. This stuff is far from Golden Demon level, but I do consider it to be my Table top standard, which is probably a much higher standard than what other people think. Since associating with the likes of Chris Borer, Joe Orteza, Dragonforge Jeff Wilhelm, tkkultist, Dave Pauwles, Dylan Gauker, Bennet Blaylock Doan, and numerous others over the past few years, I�?Tve really come to understand the differences between a high level of army painting and Golden Demon quality. Often times in my opinion Golden Demon quality army painting does not show up well on the tables in the dark gaming rooms.
On my banners, I freehand quite a bit of it. The one shown with the old beastmen happens to not be a freehand, but I am planning on replacing that banner with something else, as I�?Tm going to be marking the marauders as Slaanesh.
I�?Tll show some examples of some of my freehand banners from past armies later today as I am looking for some ideas on what to put on the various banners, which will be Undivided, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and Khorne marked. The color scheme will be the same throughout the entire army no matter what the mark is on the units.
My army is at roughly 1200 pts right now, and will probably need to be about 2500 pts. As to what is coming for additions, we�?Tll you have seen some of the expansion of the marauders, I have to do an exalted or three, I have two units of knights and probably a third in the works, a unit of chosen, a sorcerer on foot, & spawn that I�?Tm building. In the future I will be building a unit of warriors with halberds and shields, a hell cannon, war shrine, a number of show pieces, and maybe some marauder horse. Once that is all done I will build a war mammoth using the mumak from LotR. This army will probably be never ending in scope�?�

Not sure this model will get used much in my new warriors of chaos army, but I like the model none the less. Not sure how exactly I plan to use him, but I wanted a test piece that was smaller than a chariot sitting on my desk for painting the knights, chosen, and chaos warriors that I’m building and preparing for paint:
And the banners, what I’ve done in the past for my Khorne armies. Thinking about painting the banners for this army a bit more elaborately than what I’ve done in the past. So I’m kind of searching for some ideas. The chaos symbols will show up somewhere on them, and each banner will be painted up with the marks in mind.
Dino:
I see no reason you couldn’t use the hero for a chosen unit champ. He looks so nice I see no reason to keep him side lined.
Corker:
Holy. . . That’s a really nice job on the banners. And with the hero/champion, once again the highlighting and shading were great. As you said NMM is a bit of a funky term, I just got into the habit of using it when working with my friend while he was getting his models ready for the young bloods competition at the Baltimore Golden Demon, (where he got bronze). But whatever you want to refer to it as, what you’re doing looks absolutely stellar, and I think that your light sourcing turns out just fantastically. I’m just envious I can’t paint like this. 
PsychosisPC:
I'm just envious I can't paint like this. :-PI have been teaching people around here to paint, but there are some things that are harder to teach than others, the light sourcing is one of those things. One trick I have used in the past was to shoot a pic of your model with a light shining overhead in black and white and then sort of study that and exaggerate it.

Bassman:
Fantastic army here! I remember to have already seen most of your stuff here and there on the web. The marauders unit with cenatur, your fantastic Khorne army.
It’s time to tribute y ou my compliments! I love your painting style.
speedygogo:
That is a spectacular chaos army. Everything about it is awesome! You did a great job!
PsychosisPC:
Much thanks for the compliments.
Next update:
A pair of WIP spawn. I almost always try to run a pair in my armies, mainly because they are fun to model and paint.
I really dislike the chaos trolls model, but I do think they make a nice spawn body.
And the other just your run of the mill spawn:
Corker:
Just wondering, what did you use for the bases? It looks awesome, I’ve only really seen people use sand and static grass.
PsychosisPC:
Its Italian Seasoning. I sprinkle it on then, I use a super fast/thin superglue over top in the areas that I want it stick. This super glue is like water is so thin, that it essentially saturates the seasoning, and makes the leaves hard enough to handle a dry brushing. Its the only thing I really use this glue for.
The side benefit, is I store my minis in air tight tubs and when you pop the cover they smell like an italian bread.
PsychosisPC:
I finally got to spend a bit of time on the maruaders and got a bit further with the paint on 35 of them.
Here’s an update. Still not done, but getting there, pretty much left is detail work and washes.
First up one of the Red Box Games minis. I’m really liking all of these guys, they are so cool, have some much neat stuff on them and strong detail work.
I love the backside of these guys, great detail with the bones and skulls.
I did not forget the shield backside:
I’m liking this guy, Conrad the Crazed is what I think Tre Manor named, good name in my opinion:
Shown this guy before, made good progress on him since last posting:
Dino:
Very nice. Love the spawn. it’s always fun to see you make them. Marauders are comming along quit nicely.
Corker:
I gotta ask, are you taking these pictures with the flash on? Also, once again, I absolutely love how you did the highlighting on the metal for these guys. The light sourcing is superbly done.
PsychosisPC:
Thanks dino. I love making spawn. At some point I need to make a couple more just for the heck of it.
No, just two 60 watt incandescent GE Reveal bulbs over the minis for lighting. I paint all of my army stuff under them on my desk, and throw a robin’s egg colored piece of construction paper in for the back drop.
Loki:
Once again great work on every thing thoses standards are very cool
