Other Peoples Stuff: Pre-Heresy Emperor's Children

My first "lets look at other peoples stuff", saw us take a peak at one of my favourite count as armies I've seen, not because of its unbelievable level of skill, it was actually quite pedestrian in level of painting for example, simply table top, but more because of the thought and execution, making for an army that is great than the sum of its parts. Individually a model was flawed, though cool, as a whole, the scheme and concept was executed so well that I just instantly fell in love with it.

Now, this is on the other end of that spectrum. This army, or models, just inspired me straight away. The painter, elfatto at Bolter and Chainfist, has produced a stunning level of skill army wide, and I am sure everyone will enjoy this one.

I am actually almost tempted not to show you this, as a sort of ode to bisto, save the best 'til last. But really, I just want to share it!

Today, unlike last time, I won't be sharing too much "how to" as his painting level is a couple of notches above me, plus the gentleman has been kind enough to actually give some of his recipes, which does make life a bit easier!

Lets Look at Other Peoples Stuff: Orkquistion

Right, so this is the first of a semi-regular piece from me - call it what you want, Army Showcase, Armies on Parade or whatever, its a blatant rip off of many sites and what they do, but with a twist. Unlike most others, I don't plan on just putting up the pictures and going "look at this cool stuff", I want to present the army to you, give any insight I can offer, be it from directly asking the hobbyist from the forum he's from, or just try and give some information myself.

There is quite literally a fuck ton of stuff I could post for the first one, there are many better done, painted and converted out there than this one, but for many reasons, of which some I will explain, this one just kept me going back and looking at it over and over.

I do want to state that some of my painting tips might not be exactly how the orginal painter achieved the effect himself, but how, if asked, I would tell someone to emulate it (in this case). In some other's it would be my best guess as how to achieve the effect and how I would look to create that result.

So without further-ado, The Ork-quisition!

That's right, a count as army!
