White Russian Advisor

Hi all,

Another single mini painted for sale. This time a Copplestone Back of Beyond White Russian Advisor. Not sure how accurate the uniform is but hey, its pulp!

Had a blast painting this guy and its made me realise how much i love this range and how i need to get more minis from my Bolshevik army completed. The Grey worked nicely, didnt want it to look white. Not sure if it shows in the pic but i painted a chevron on the left arm, thought an officer deserved a bit more detail.

This guy is available to buy so drop me an e-mail if your interested.

Cheers

Foundry Dwarfs

Hi all,

Well my paint station has been invaded by short guys with beards and these are the results. Not my best photography but you get the idea! These are Dwarfs from Foundry's ever expanding fantasy range. Lovely little sculpts with lots of appeal. I see these guys as being more useful for small skirmish games like Mordheim than large scale battles like Warhammer.

I really enjoyed painting them and using lots of colours i may not use most of the time. I'm pleased with them for the most part but looking at these pics i could have done with a starker highlight on some of the beards. I'm learning all the time! These will be shipped off to their owner this week and on to the next project.

Got lots of minis littering the table as usual, mainly commissions but ive completed a few more Star Wars re-paints and when i've got some more done i'l get a group shot posted. I'm finding it hard to stick to a particular project at the moment so i'm jumping to and fro while working on commissions. I guess it keeps things interesting but nothing seems to get finished! Oh well, life and trials of a wargamer...

Cheers

Retribution Of Scyrah Arcanist

Hi all,

Well like most Warmachine players i was pretty excited by the release of Retribution of Scyrah minis for Warmachine a while ago and yes, i went out and bought some. However, my enthusiasm died and i dont want to collect them anymore. BUT i did paint this guy when i first got him and i really enjoyed painting him. He's an Archanist ( mechanic) for the Retribution and a useful solo. I went for mute colours with Khaki armour. Im pleased with how he turned out.

As i dont intend on collecting the Retribution and they were just an impulse buy i intend to sell them. I have this guy, an assembled and unpainted Heavy jack (phoenix) and an unmade House Shyeel Magister. Let me know if your interested.

Ive been busy with commissions this week but ive had the time to work on a few side projects. A few more Star Wars minis have been prepped and undercoated and i still want to paint some more Hordes and Warmachine minis. Especially my Wold Guardian...

Cheers

Star Wars Miniatures Re - Paints

Hi all,

Something a bit different for you today. I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and so the idea of gaming the Star Wars universe is right up my street. Now i know not everyone is a fan of pre - painted minis but i think some of the sculpts are quite cool. Of course the painting is questionable and heavy on some but a little scraping and a decent undercoat and you have a good start for re - painting.

So here are my first three efforts (left to right) A Commando Droid, an R7 Astromech Droid and a Senate Commando.

These are from the Clone Wars Era and feature mainly in the Animated Series "Clone Wars". Im quite happy with how these guys turned out considering how thick they were painted before hand. I'm painting more as and when and will post pics when they are done. My friend and I are currently play testing some rules based on the GW LOTR set.

Heres some single pics

Circle of Orboros

Hi all,

As promised, here are a few pics of my growing Circle of Orboros force for Hordes. I don't have that many minis completed yet but i'm chipping away at them gradually. First up is my Warlock, Baldur Stonecleaver. He is central to the 'Constructs' theme of the force because he is the guy that creates everything then holds them together. I have a pic of him on his own and then with a few Wold Stalkers (I havn't finished the whole unit yet)

I'm going with the wood and stone look with lots of mute browns and a deep blue. Simple but looks cool on the table. The next pic shows the first beast for my force - A Wold watcher. He is a light beast and so a little smaller than the Wold Guardian ive just picked up.

So just a few minis to share but hopefully more completed in the coming weeks. I'm waiting for the MKII rule book to be released so i can start gaming again. My buddy has trolls and they are great fun to play against - except when they keep making their tough rolls...

Ive had the terrain bug over the weekend and ive been painting some buildings and making some generic terrain tiles. Not a huge fan of making terrain but i get the urge every now and then. Hopefully i'l be able to post pics of games now that i have something at home to play games on.

cheers

Old West Pinkerton

Hi all,

Another Artizan mini today, this time from the old west range. Ive had this guy for ages, part of a pack of three. I completed the other two ages ago, i think there are pics on this blog? Very nice to paint, very simple and kinda sinister looking in his long coat. Should make an excellent addition to any ones old west collection.

Oh and guess what arrived today...

Really excited to make a start on this guy. Seeing him and some of the other new Hordes releases has really got me interested again and i cant wait to start rolling some dice.

I'm going to take some photos of some of my Circle of Orboros minis in the next few days, havnt got many completed but it will give you an idea of what i'm going for.

But enough of this - I've got a Wold Guardian to put together!

Cheers

Tau Pathfinder

Hi all,

Still waiting for my Wold Guardian to be delivered :(

But on the plus side I have another mini to share. This time something from GW - a Ltd edition 40k Tau Pathfinder. I really enjoyed painting this guy, made me realise how much I like the Tau range. Shame I don't like the game... The yellow was GW Foundation Tau sept Ochre, a very nice colour to work with and i used P3 Menoth White Highlight for the highlights.

I'm working on some more single minis for sale. Got some Artizan and Copplestone on the table so looking forward to sharing those. Other than that just working through commissions.

Cheers

Rob
