Something unusual

 This week I have a weird model for you, a Japanese ghost that I got during one of the very first trips to Japan, over 15 years ago.

It sat unpainted on a shelf for a very log time, I finally decided to rectify the situation and gave it a few coats of paint.

Now it will go back on a shelf, but with some colours on it.

Warzone Brotherhood elite troops

 These are the last Brotherhood troops I had to paint, now I have a small, but usable force, with a little bit of options for list composition.

Dark Angel captain

 This model is one of the 6 MK VII armour Space marines captains that were released in 1990, it is a super classic and, even if my paint job doesn't make it justice, I'm happy to have it in my collection.

I still have the Space Wolves one to paint and then I will have all six done.

Battletech Comstar mechs

 I am slowly completing forces for the different factions of Battletech I have.

This is the turn of Comstar/Word of Blake, I had a few mechs painted the classic white of the militia, but I wanted to complete the level II of 6 mechs.

Since Comstar is known to still have functioning old tech, I included a couple of LAM mechs and other classic mechs that would have been kept in good state of repair over the centuries.

Warzone Dark Eden tribe, Crescentians

 I always had a weird fascination for the Earth Tribes, I got in to Warzone towards the end of Second Edition and models were not readily available at the time, even more so the Earth tribes ones.

Last year during a visit to the Sentry Box in Calgary, I found out they still had a bunch of Warzone figures, so I proceeded to get as many as I could and it turned out that most of them were Earth Tribes models.

The Crescentians were the tribe I manage to get almost everything of, I will only need a Prophet and 3 Martyrs to have one unit or character per type, but I am pretty satisfied with what I found.

I started painting these models just over a month ago and it turned out that they are very intricate sculpts with a ton of details, so it took me quite long to complete them, but here they are and I am really happy to have completed them, not I only have to find an excuse to field them in a game or two.

Few random Warzone models

 This week just a few Warzone models that I recently painted.

I am currently working on the Earth tribes, specifically the Crescentians, but since they are very intricate models with lots of details, I needed a break and I painted something simpler.

Battletech is back

In my effort to finish painting all the Battletech miniatures I accumulated over the past few years, here are 2 more mechs I just finished.

They will complete a lance of Draconis Combine 4th Arkab Legion I started a couple of years back (or more). I think these might be the very last Draconis Combine mechs I had to paint, the force is pretty huge by now and I doubt I will ever need more mechs for the DCMS.

Warhammer 40,000 Blood Angels chaplain

 This is a model I have owned for over 20 years, I figured it was time to paint it. 

It is a very simple model, but I really enjoyed painting it, it brought back memories of 40K second edition, the one I played the most and the one I have the best memories of.

RPG animals

This week I only have a few little animals I painted for RPG and maybe wargames.

These are the kind of models I keep on the side of my painting area and when I have leftover of colours on the palette I paint parts of them, at some point I find they are done and I have extra bits and bobs to use in games with little to no effort, they might not be the best, but they get the job done on the table top.

A few poieces of sci-fi terrain

These are a few pieces of sci-fi terrain I recently finished.

The Battletech buildings are made with orange juice bottle caps, I saw some similar ones online somewhere and it seemed such good idea, they took very little work and are very nice.

The pallets are from some note pads that a freight company gave us at work as promotional material, I just stuck some pipes and crates on them and gave them a quick paint job, pretty nice result.
