Charge!

Just finished painting this guy, my last fantasy figure for a while I think. He joins the other fantasy figures I've painted on a shelf probably never to be used for anything other than looking at.

Helmet or Skull?

Painted up another fantasy figure. Bits from a couple of different sets so I can add this guy to my small (and slightly mental looking) Mordheim warband. I decided to paint the whole helmet to look like bone.

A not so loyal retainer

I spent this evening painting up this model. He comes with the Games Workshop Giant model. I added the sword and bags to the belt and he will eventually end up as part of a small Diorama that I'm working on.

He's painted up as the peasant retainer of a knight or similarly important individual. I was really pleased with how he turned out as I do not paint fantasy models very often. I was particularly pleased with the face as I took the time to paint the little boil on his face and had a bash at the eyes, which turned out okay if I do say so my self. Although my rather shoddy camera work doesn't really do the model justice.

Bromhead, sort of.

Painted up the cinematic figure of Michel Cain as Bromhead, from the Empress Anglo-Zulu range this evening. I decided to paint him up to fit in with the regular/royalist elements of my VBCW force. Top model and I think he looks just like for a royalist force.

A few more men

I Painted up these four guys to add to my VBCW force this afternoon, despite some camera problems I manged to finally get some decent pictures. These guys finish off another 10 man VBCW Squad.

Had a good result today though, I popped into Hobby Craft and found they had a 70% sale on. I picked up two big 225ml tubes of brown Daler-Rowney Acrylic paint for 89p each! not bad considering that they usually cost £7.50 each. Top savings and they will be very useful for groundwork etc on terrain.

Not really suitable for chopping wood

I was going to paint up four more WW1 infantry figures for my VBCW force but I got a bit distracted when I  found this model in a cupboard. I knocked him together a year or so ago, undercoated him and never got round to painting this model up. 

So like yesterdays model I decided to paint him up to fit in with my Mordheim Warband. He's a conversion of a GW Empire bowman and some High Elf parts. All in all I like the look, especially the rather large Axe which I doubt is designed for chopping fire wood.

An old sword

I was at a bit of a loss this afternoon and put this guy together from some bits in my modelling cupboard. I wanted this guy to look like a grizzled fighter so he's got a badly notched sword and a shield taken from a fallen enemy. This guy will go in well with another 5 guys I have previously painted up in a similar style as part of a Mordheim Warband.
Back to painting up WW1/VBCW figures on Monday as I have another 4 guys to paint up as part of my force.
