LargoW Painting Gallery

Please excuse me for using English, but my French is rather rusty. last time I spoke was in school, about 10 years ago

Short introduction to myself, I am from Hanover (Germany) and I really enjoy painting small scales, like 6mm and 10mm. Some of my work also includes 28mm skirmishes like 7TV, Malifaux or MERCS. My main forte is Epic Armageddon. I started with Epic 40.000 in 1997, switched to greater scales, mainly WHFB, and came back to Epic in 2010. Since then I never really switched my "main tabletop", just some minor "disturbances" like Beneath The Lily Banners or In Clouds of Glory. I never tried to reach a "Master class level" with my painting, I simply don't have the patience.
If you are interested in my work, please feel free to visit my blog, but be aware that it's written in German. Luckily, pictures don't need any translation

I recently stumbled on your forum and wanted to share some photos with you. I am currently working on a Tyranid force. These are the first finished miniatures.







There are more pictures in my blog, for those interested.

Using English on this board is not a problem for those who don't speak French.
I see that Onslaught miniatures can be mixed with official Tyranid ones. Especialy if they are painted like this. Congratulations !

L'utilisation de l'anglais sur ce forum n'est pas un problème pour ceux qui ne parlent pas Français.
Je vois que les figurines Onslaught peuvent être mélangées aux figurines officielles des Tyranides. Surtout si elles sont peintes comme cela. Bravo !

Willkomen!

Well, you're not so far from this level...

Ganz (oder gans ?) Gut & pretty awesome  
 

Hi Largo could you please show us some pictures of your tau army please? I really live them and I'm sure I won't be the only one   

Thank you for your kind words!

I was on vacation over the weekend, so no new painted stuff since last time. But I will try and at least paint some bases this week

The Tau army is still not finished, this is the most up to date photo:



More photos here

Some work in progress pictures. I am not as quick as I would like to...   

Don't you think that your stands could have more bugs ?

There will be five bugs on every normal stand and three Overseers on the Warrior stands. I just paint them on little popsicle sticks for ease of paint (you can see them in the back on the left). If I would glue them on the base already, I would fail miserably I glued three per base since this is the maximum of miniatures, for me at least, to paint on a single 25mm base without hassle. The only exception is the 4 winged-stalkers-base. I don't know how to fit in another one without it getting messy.  

Ok, I did not make the link.   

Eh ! C'est mon schéma de couleur.... en mieux   

Nice job.

Welcome.

Nice job.

Welcome.

Zuerst, Willkommen. Es macht mir spass, mit jdm deutsch zu reden.
Ich finde, dass es wirklich gut gemalt ist. Ich hoffe, dass wir noch anderen von deine figuren sehen können.

D'abord bienvenue. Ca fait plaisir de povuoir parler allemand avec quelqu'un.
Je trouve que ce que tu fais est bien peind. J'espère que nous pourrons voir d'autres figurines que tu auras peinte.

Mort de rire, il va nous manquer un caractère pour écrire dans la langue de Goethe...   Ou alors "SpaB"?

ce caractère n existe plus depuis plus d une décennie en allemand

Woputaing! 10 ans! Ich gehe hinaus...    

I am not really sure if I can grasp the discussion correctly, but IF I do you are discussing the character "ß", correct? It is still used in the german language, there is for example a difference between "weiß" and "weiss". The first is the colour white and the second is "to know something" Some years ago there was also a difference made between "daß" and "dass", both meaning the same ("the") but depending on the structure of the sentence on or the other had to be used. This was abolished some years ago.

Back to topic, I managed to get the first paint on the miniatures and I am hoping to get the batch finished this week. We will see   

Slow and steady I am making progress. I hope, that I will manage to finish the current wave over the weekend

All that we see on this picture in one weekend ?! You're not slow or I don't understand the meaning of this word...

The whole lot so far:


...aaaaaaaaaaand todo:

J'adorerais affronter cet essaim ! Il est vraiment superbe !   

Thanks!

I was really, really ill (and I still am). Apart from trading some stuff I didn't get anything done. I went to the Tactica, the biggest German Tabletop convention and hosted a participation game in collaboration with two Danish game designers. We hosted In Clouds Of Glory - a true 3D WWI Air combat game. It was a real blast and I highly encourage everyone to give it a go: http://www.icog.dk
See the thread at TMP http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=337124 for more details


Anyways, have some more Onslaught stuff and a Lictor (i want 2 formations of 3 each and I am a cheapskate )
