Well that was the quickest renegade i ever painted. I posted the imagges in the Renegades Thread. If you are going to use the pictures for your avatar then please say in your sig or something that i painted it. If you are wanting different pictures then tell me and i will get them tomorrow. I have to finish my maths homework now.

That sure was quick. And don't worry, I was already planning to mention you in the sig. Man, you've got great skills! I wish I could paint like that.
Oh, and I was serious about the math ;) I graduated from university recently and I've had some math there (although I specialised in electronics). BTW what kind of homework do you have in the middle of summer? :)

Its not summer holidays in Scoltand anymore. I just finished my first week back. It a bit embarassing about the maths. It was the Straight Line topic that i was stuck on. Its sounds esay but its been made ridicolously hard. It doesnt matter about it now. I handed it in today. Thanks anyway.
Heres the sorcerer that i started to paint last night. It should be finished by the end of the day. I need to make the base and finish a few details on the model.
As you can see i am missing his back banner. They are quite hard to come by but hopefully i will find one on ebay at some point. The model just doesnt look complete without it.
Even without the banner he still looks awesome! Have you considered creating your own banner? I see that practically every mini in your collection is not converted, so maybe you want to keep it that way?
Nice color scheme. I think that someone (somewhere) said that blue doesn’t look good on CD, but I like it on this guy.
I would have a go at making my own but i dont think ive got the skills to really make a good job of it. Ill hand paint what banners i can but i will wait and see if any banner poles come up on ebay.
I tend to use blue for my Sorcerors. The guy on the lammasu is going to get a similar paint job.
I told you it would be sweet painted and it really is! As said before, I think the blue, which doesn’t normally work on CD complements the model nicely.
It says in my first post about my army being completely not converted.

Indeed. {free slave if you guess who said that :) } Sorry for my mistake, the overwhelming amount of pictures keeps me away from text in your first post :P But I've read it carefully this time.
About your question - maybe it's time for a missile unit? You could either paint the crossbow-dwarfs or do the bases for Blunderbusses.
The finished sorcerer looks great! How long it takes you to do the bases for your heroes?
Yeah i was thinking about doing the small unit of Crossbowmen. BTW the blunderbuss arent anywhere near finished. And remember there is also a unit of BUll Centaurs. I dont have a picture of them up but they are in the background of another picture. The bases only take me a few minutes. All i do for the lava is a basecoat of Red Gore, the some Blood Red, then blazing orange, fiery orange, sunburst yellow and then bad moon yellow. Some times i dont use all the colours. THe sand is just sand inked black then drybrushed a dark grey coloud with a lighter highlight.
Well i tried to paint the swivel guns a while ago and i just ended with loads of crew and i got sick of them. They are practically done. I think i wanted larger bases for them (40mm bases or something). Ill try finish them off after the Crossbowmen.
I haven’t had much time to paint over the last week or two so ive only made a little progress on the crossbowmen unit. Apologies for the poor photos. I shouldn’t take such close ups because it does the model no favours haha.
Coming from someone who hates painting red (cause I can never get it to look right), I love the richness of their red armour. Mind telling me how you did that?
For their red armour i pait it red gore, ink it brown ink, paint over most of it with red gor then go over that with blood red. Sometimes it gives quite a thin looking paintjob but it still turns out quite well.
update: 17 year old me thought this was a brilliant technique but i realise now it was atrocious haha. Nowadays i use mechrite red undercoat, drybrush blood red, wash gryphone sepia and drybrush blood red again.

Thanks a lot Pyro, I'll have to try that when I start painting my warriors!
I have a few of the 3rd edition guys myself and was thinking of painting them in a ‘Khorne’ style colour scheme (red and brass) so I hope you don’t mind if I rip-off your recipe for red :cheers
