Introducing the progress game!

I recently painted a new Farseer and Warlock, cos i wasn't happy with any of my old ones for a competition coming up. While tidying things up in the case I noticed their counterparts and got to thinking how much progress my painting has made in the years i've been hobbying.

Enter the Progress game! The rules are simple;

Either;
- Post a picture of the first model you ever painted (assuming you haven't redone him/her/it) next to the last model you painted. Bonus "points" for similar models
- OR post 2 of the same sculpt that are far apart in your painting career

For instance;

My newest Farseer (left) and my oldest model, Farseer Mark 1. Farseer Mark 1 was the first model I ever painted. Which is why he sucks.

Tw Warlocks. Same sculpt, same painter, just several years apart.

Post your own pictures and lets see how far you've come over the years!

There we go. Not my first model, although I think it was a repaint of one of them (without stripping... I was probably about 12 or 13) and the Sergeant isn't finished. Might post another pic up when he is. Both are in the process of being rebased as well.

On right is at least second model I ever painted (if not first) and on left is the most recent ultramarine which I painted a couple of weeks ago, though base still needs to be done (: Also freehand tactical squad symbol on side of most recent ultramarines which you can't really see

Bam.
First Necron Lord was about 4-5 years ago, second one was a couple months ago.



Also, I think you missed your link or upload, Ultra.

Nice job on the freehand number on the shoulder pad.

Well, I can't do same sculpt, but I can do my attempts at painting grey/white... :)
