Hosting the "Golden Tom" painting competition and giving away (producing and shipping) real trophies costs money. So far we (users Admin Tom, SerialMoM and floedebolle) have paid for this out of our pocket. Why? Because this is a great community!
But in order to keep this up, we need your help.
Every contribution matters and will go towards the production costs of the "Golden Tom" painting and modelling competition. Specifically: casting and shipping trophies.

I like these guys, they look realistic and not cartoon-like, great work!
The weathering on these guys is absolutely stunning.
You've inspired me to touch up my Assult Marines and make them more beat up (meaning I'm totally stealing this idea) :)
Thanks guys!
@Longscope: be my guest! ;)
your weathering is absolutely stunning! Have you ever considered a Golden Demon entry? they no longer look plastic but of worn metal.
Great work! you should give out more tips ;)
Hey Zen!
Haha, yes I have fatasized about entering a golden demon but I am not sure I have the skill.
I am indeed very happy with how the weathering turned out. HOWEVER, if you were to step closer and look at my marines up close, you would see that the effect is in fact quite crude. Great at arm's length, but extremely simple (and perhaps even a little disappointing) up close.
This being said, such an effect is exactly what I was looking for in this case! I had A LOT of marines to paint in a very short time, so I needed a thechnique that would save time yet look good on the tabletop.
So I experimented a little bit and came up with this.
Honestly, I have never painted up an army as quickly as this one. About 3 weeks with de-colouring, re-assembly and re-painting (you will also note the lack of fancy conversions).
Had I had more time, maybe I would have stressed the arabic theme more, i.e. replacing power swords with power-scimitars and the like :)
