I gave the Aryx a lick of paint. I still need to paint the base. All I have left now is the finishing details on 3 tanks and the Aryx's Infantry Drop Container. The Horde so far:

I gave the Aryx a lick of paint. What would these guys be worth? Ive been looking at some of these aircraft/skimmers for Chaos Navy and Im sure that would be a cool one to use for a Hell Talon. Im still trying to find one of the others that might suit the swiftdeath, would you be able to take a couple of pics with the all the skimmers together, maybe from above to get an idea of sizes?

I'll have to get back to you on price when I have some time after work but for now the comparison shots are linked. Painting fast is through simply relying on techniques to get most of the army painted then adding a few details with a fine brush to make things stand out. I do most of my painting with a big crappy paint brush my kids had, its like size 5 or 6 or something. Then I go back and pick out details like the windows and engines etc with a size 1 high quality brush, for all the details I highlight up through 3 colors with a strongly contrasting color. Basically you never really have to be neat and if you do its on an easy to reach raised detail of the miniature. That way you can paint dozens of miniatures at a time. With nice basing an army can look really good this way and be painted in a month while still going out, socializing, playing with the kids, working, taking the dogs for walks etc. Trying to paint every little detail with tiny brushes is something that should be left to the golden daemon painters who actually have hands that steady and are only trying to paint one miniature not a gaming force. My last unit. finished off basing on the Aryx.

Mate, fantastic work. I love the base on the Aryx. The fallen bits of masonary is something I've always meant to try and now I've got something to copy . I paint most Epic stuff the same way you do. Only way I can get so much done so quickly. Great stuff Mark, it's always a pleasure to see what you've been painting/creating!

I got distracted with a 40K Apocalyptic Tau Army, now I have to get stuck into the 6mm one. Now onto the junior version, with much better rule system of course.
