Weeeeell, yeah he's fanart, and I rarely do that, and yeah, he's Sci-Fi rather than Fantasy, but I'll just put him up here in the Wood until I've actually got enough stuff to justify an entire SF gallery. 'Space Marines' and 'Tyranids' are copyright by Games Workshop, by the way, and Zeno is basically one of their miniatures I've painted...

Woo hoo!!! I love the expression on the Genestealer's face! I've seen a similar model of this in a White Dwarf mag...I thin either no. 193 or 194 but it was of an Imperial Guard....still rocks tho!In fact, I remember that model, although it wasn't really what I had in mind when I did Zeno...(frankly what I tought was:'Let's just hope nobody notices the basic similarities to "Watching The Border Marches..."') I also wanted the mood to be slightly different, considering Zeno had to chop up the Warrior in close combat whereas the Catachan girl had a Heavy Bolter (that cheater!)

Actually to refresh your memory it was a female Imperial Guard in Mike McWays masterclass, Im at school so i dont have the chanse to see which one it was in but i believe it was 196 or 197... If it helps but i think it is a wery good picture, you should send it in to Games Workshop maybe you`ll get a position among the Painters...

Wow, looks great! His armor really looks lik eit's taken a beating, him too judging by that leg. Great rendition of a space marine, the warhammer 40k universe is a great one to take inspiration from I've found.Yeah, sometimes I think fanart like this is kinda cheap, but then the 40k universe is so visually exciting... Hieroneymus Bosch plus SciFi ... you can't go wrong with that!

This is by far the best 40K work I have seen up (including my own). I love the armor paint scheme. You should upload some pics of your painted mini's.

Yeah, great. You should actually see the miniatures. They have all these little details (the wasp and other insignia) painted on them.

A whole army of them is standing in a display in our local gaming store.

Now I only have to take his miniatures painting workshop coming up in November and I will be as good as him. He says. Because it's just so easy. He says.

10Hehh - so you've seen the light by now, I hope! It *is* easy. Or at least a mere matter of technique... Hope you've been busy painting the last couple of weeks, eh?

What chapter (well, obviously a DIY one, but beyond that)?Fire Wasps; unknown founding, Salamanders Successors. Veterans may remember a Titan Legion from around 1989 of that name (now defunct, I guess). I liked the name and logo; though I reversed the trangle in the badge as that looks somewhat slicker...

Great picture even though id prefer if it was the humans head on the floor. Poor genestealer.

XLent drawing, and as beeing an artist too (even if i've never too much drawed about WH40K), I say it's really great. Good colours, proportions, etc ... Maybe just a little bit flashy, but it does not "kill" the art. The only thing that disturbs me is that the head of the dead is a "tyty"!!!!

Very impressive, he looks tough.
does he have anny powers or so?
