Thank you  Yeah I am trying to work something out so he won`t fall over again. Its not a normal giant anyway and even if played like one there are possibilities. Thanks for the ideas, I think I will do something like the things you mentioned. Looking forward to your giant!

Beautiful work - they both look great!
I love the look of the water for your KBeast - I just got one for Christmas and think I might pinch your idea on how you have based it. The colours looks sweet as well.

The water effect on the Kharibdyss's base is outstanding. Love the Manticore too.

How come I haven't seen this yet? The kharibdyss is so awesome, especially with the base and all. Love it.

Hehe thx again!  Seeing those pics again I am not sure why I painted the edges of the Kharidbyss base brownish.... I will make them dark blue to match the whole base.

Wow! You are an incredible painter! If you don't mind me asking, what colors/technique did you use for the mirror on the bloodwrack?

Really nice! I love your painting style, very crisp and clean. It is the kind of painting style that looks really great on the table top and up close. Great work!

Thanks so much guys (and gals of course if there are any  )!! For the water effect I used Vallejo Water Texture (the transparent one). I do not like the colored ones that much because then you are stuck with a certain color scheme. Using the transparent one you just have to paint the bottom the color you would like to have (go from light to dark where its supposed to be deeper to create some depht) and apply the water effect on top of it. Be careful tho, if you put too much on it it will take ages to dry. Better put on a thin layer and let it dry, then put on another layer. To get a bit more "texture" into the water I paint the surface (the top of the "waves") white. The mirror was painted using an airbrush. Its rather simple, I first painted the whole mirror dark blue, then I applied some drakenhof nightshade on the whole mirror. Once that was dry I used three different blue tones with my airbrush and sprayed layers, getting lighter the farther I got to the left of the mirror. In the end I applied some gloss varnish on the mirror to get some additional reflection

Super work - love the mirror, thanks for explaining how it was done. The Manticore is awesome - love the use of the chariot sword, which always had that epic feel that suggests it should be in the hands of someone mightier than charioteer #2. Thoroughly applaud the drowned H*gh Elf too, whatever the propaganda says nowadays.

Amazing model and superb paint job ! Its a shame they don't build the same model without the dragon and goat heads for our manticore. I was thinking about buying one a year ago but pricetag + amount of green stuff needed stopped me. How easy is it to remove the other heads ?

Thanks guys  @Lord Drakon The other heads are not attached to the body in the first place, there is only a "stump" there. It actually took some Greenstuff to close the gaps betweend the neck and the heads. I think it wouldn`t be too hard to get rid of the necks and smooth out the surface with Greenstuff. If you google Terror of Fortriu you can see a picture which shows the model as it comes in the box.

Oh my god, your painting skills are just awe-inspiring And the warlock being taken by Slaanesh has to be one of the most creative conversions I have seen to date. But I love every piece you showed. The manticore rider is very impressive (the manticore model is so much better than the goofy looking one GW put out).
