Commission Complete

Well after a week and a bit of furiously painting genestealers for my friend I'm finished.

All twenty two of them and a broodlord.  Some close ups

Even closer close ups

this one confuses me its almost as if the sculptor forgot one of his arms

he's got the shoulder joint but no arm... and there's two of them in the box.



and the boss beastie the broodlord

Now he also wanted me to turn this chaos lord into an iron warrior

Now its an nice conversion, but was unfortunately was super glued together.  Everything I've tried to strip that's been super glued together has fallen to bits.  So I had to try and paint over the top of it.  There is a few bits poking through but its not that noticeable with the naked eye.

 I think he turned out alright.

I've got a couple games of batman lined up at the club tomorrow.  I might take some pictures.  I'm going to start painting my Joker crew up this week, expect pictures.


Well that's it from me.  Until next time happy wargaming.

Zulu!

Well after a very crappy couple of weeks (my car's engine died and need replaced) I'm back and I've been painting up a storm

First thing's first is The Hero's of Rourke's Drift set from Warlord Games.  My mum bought these for my dad's birthday and got me to paint them.  I have a set of my own that I bought along with Warlord's Rourke's Drift set a couple of years ago that I've never got around to painting but I had so much fun painting these that I've set myself a challenge.  To finish painting all my Anglo-Zulu war stuff by the end of the year.  For those of you familiar with the film Zulu (I watch it several times each year) you will recognize these four.  Starting on the left we have colour sergeant Bourne (Nigel Green), private Henry Hook (James Booth), Lieutenant John Chard (Stanley Baker) and Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead (Michael Caine).

And back to my dungeon delving usual

some more old school night goblin netter clubbers

some plastic grave guard.  These will serve a dual purpose, wights for warhammer quest and grave guard for my vampire counts army.

and some plague censer bearers.  Again these will serve a dual purpose of being both adventurer fodder and elite (if you can call any Skaven elite) troops in my Skaven army.

I've also taken on a painting commission for my cousin. 

I'm painting all his space hulk genestealers.  Here's the first four.  I think they've turned up quite nicely.

I'm going to get onto the next batch of genestealers so until next time happy wargaming.
