very nice work there.
The chaos dragons are exquisite.
I also like the dynamic poses of the marauder heroes.

This is a quick way of making a empire artillery redoubt
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Empire%20WM/Reductoartillero.jpg)
-
Can you post the instructions please?
-
Hi,
The base is an expendable cd, cover with modelling plaster (not green stuff, the white one cheaper) to make the slope in the back. The wooden parapete is made with bits of an old set of esci called "battle field accesories". The reference is here
http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=536
The bits were part of the watching tower, fixed to make the redoubt. It is very simple.
Painting, and some grass fixed on the top, varnished. Easy, quick and i think effective.

Hi I would like to share with you a spanish Tercio formation.
I sometimes use pikemen unit with empire, because I think it goes with the mood of empire. But could be fit also with Dogs of War. Anyway it is not important the army or the rules but the formation.

Trolls!! I did not like to much these figures.... How wrong I was!! I have enjoy a lot painting these little monsters ;D The sculpting is superb

Imperial steam tank.
So the reinforcement to my orc and goblin are prepared,
enjoy them
-
Yeah, I tended to think the trolls were a little goofy -- but it took painting them to really enjoy their sculpting.
Somebody had a good time detailing these guys -- the earrings, etc. are just nice touches that surprised me as I dug into the painting.
-
Yep absolutly!
and all colors fit them well !!. I painted one of them orange (the pic do not reveal all the highlight work) and it is really funny paint a guy of these color :P
-
Great work.
I loved painting the trolls ages ago.
I did mine to match all 4 chaos powers.
The red unit look very unique :o

These figures are a glimpse from our egyptian army, bronze age period. (old glory figures)
so enjoy them.

6) sherden guards, also unreliable (but not for Pharaon RamesesII) but dreadfull in combat. Better keep this guards to defend positions, they know when they have to attack

Yesterday I finish a orc warrior unit and a orc hero, from Pendraken this time. Here are some close ups. The last pictures is (I tried) a size comparison between pendraken orks/ coppleston orks/ GW goblins.
The orc army is very funny to build/paint up. I like the idea of the Waaagh and the gathering of different types of tribes, and grotesque critters to make a huge army. I try to build up my army with brigades of orcks from different manufactures to represent the diversity of tribes.
I Know GW had a range of savage boyzs, I didnt buy because I was younger and stupid and poorer :) and I think this tribe is not going to be in my army :'(,
anyway HAs someone a pic of these discontinued savage boyz?
It will make me happy see them in close up ;D

Well my orc and goblin army still increasing,
This week I paint a giant in a goblins style. It is a vintage from my childhood 28mm figure from Granadier unpainted until now, (I remember he was the goblin king/chieftain or something similiar) and I think he fits very well to make a giant for my goblin army.
I use another figure for the giant in a orc style that I will post someday.
The figure for size reference is the elfking, that I also paint this week. They are not based but I take some pictures for you.

Thats my last painting work. A little randomize, but it does the way I like :P
1) Saxon Houscarl infantry. It have more uses, for Middle earth makes Rohan infantry, and also makes Orlanthis warriors for Glorantha setting.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Dark%20ages%20WM/saxonhouscarlinfantry.jpg)
2)Viking Bersekrs. They have strongs stats, and I decide to base few figures to represent the ferocity of these little dudes. They are not too historic, but I can not resist to include a berserker unit in a viking army. They could fit as northermen in the Middle earth, and orlanthi colymar tribe in Glorantha setting.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Dark%20ages%20WM/vikingsberserkers.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Dark%20ages%20WM/berserkcloseup.jpg)
3)Skeleton Bowmen. To continue my undead army project, so last week I open a blister of skeleton bowmen for first time. I had seen the figures, but never paint them and I get shocked while paint them for the quality of the scultp, they are beautiful :-*. The pic is not very good.

Nice job on these figures.
The interesting question for me: how well would the skellie bowmen work as converts to skellie pikemen?
... Though it's more likely that I'd put my masses of Elf bowmen to that use....
-
Thanks Carrington,
About the conversion of skellie bowmento pikemen I have made some pics close ups. Maybe they could help you to obtein some ideas conversions.
I had been thinking in the matter and I don't see the conversion easy because the skellie bowmen have sculpted the arrow, so if you remove the bow to attach a pike there still modelled an arrow in the chest of the figure. Also some of them are have the arrow integrated in the body of the frontal figure, so if you remove it you are loosing the detai of the frontal figure (in the pic 2 you can see this case).
I wish you could see a effectie way of convert them in the pic that I have not realise.
There are other options, if you are interested in skellies pikemen pendraken and irregular have a range of figures that maybe have an easier conversion.
If you are interested in pikemen (and it doesnt matter for you if they are skellies or high elves or humans) there is wide range of historical figures with different uniforms and different periods that could fit your necessities.
Good luck with your pikes formation, ( pikes are always impressive in the table game 8) )

Last weekend I finish a orc boar rider unit from pendraken. The figures are a little grotesque, and the boars are a little wierd when the first sight. But I like this vintage look of pendraken orc range.

I always like to have space marines in 10mm scale.
So, a year ago I tried some "space paint conversions", but yesterday I dare to take some putty over the figures to make up some of them like space marines. As you can see the results are little poor and their similarity to space marines is uncertain. Anyway I enjoy the afternoon in my very first attempt to "putty" 10mm.

To apply it 'properly' you need to do so through a plastic sieve. It's called 'static grass', because when statically charged it stands on end, which of course I hardly if ever bother to do. Hmm, I could buy a small sieve though, that might be a good idea...
BTW where are you? As if you're in London I can recomend a very good architects modelling shop which is great for supplies of different kinds of flock, static grass, pink and blue foam, and some trees that really need to be seen to believed, bloody marvelous they are...
-
Great stuff as always.
As for the modelling supplies can you post a link please Stomm?
-
Nope, but I can give you directions. For some reason I can't remember the name of the flipping shop. I'll see if I've got something in one of their bags later, or if my memory comes back. But I'm sure that doing a Google search for: "Model shop, Old Street, and Morgate Eye Hospital" would get you somewhere...
-
Thank you for your nice comments,
I live in Madrid, Spain, but thank stomm for the advice! I will search for the sieve.
I still have lots of figures in bare metal, so I'll keep posting :)

This is my last character. It is a troll painted for middle earth. This little dude will be the general of Empire of the Lord of War, place in the lost realms or Cardolan region (Home made list). The general is a half troll half elf :o (those people of ICE has a crazy imagination), and it is called, of course, the War Lord.
But I think I also used it like a troll character in the orc and goblin list going with the stat of goblin chiftains (this troll is very very smart)

This summer I have been very busy to paint anyting, so I decide make a experiment. I use the paint service of a local store in one unit of almoravids. I have never used this service so I was quite excited. On saturday I recover my unit painted.
I like the paint a lot!! but I am not very satisfied with the prize. 1 euro per figure --> 30 figures per unit --> 30 euros. My economy can not afford even 0,5k points with that price, so I will still painting myself.
I share the professional painting with you.

-
Those bases look nice but I wouldn't say they were really any nicer than your own stuff.
As for the price - on the one hand I paint so slowly that I'd have to charge far more than that to make a living, but on the other hand (and the one that counts I think) that's going to make for a very expensive army!
-

Thanks pw, that is kind

Well here I come again,
This time more empire
- Sorcerer carring a ceremony

- A hero knight with polearm elite soldier
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Empire%20WM/heroandhelberdier2.jpg)
-
First a unit of shiny elves uncompleated. It is a shame that I have start painting this just 5 days before Swordmaster tells how to obtain beatiful shiny elves. I think I finished them with that scheme but the next I will follow Swordmaster instructions.
Maybe you could help me.
- First: I have a empire horsemen in my bare metal box of empire and I can not remember where I get this figure... (maybe from the war altar...) Do you recognize it?
(it seems a german doctor visits me last week. His name was Dr. Alzheimer)
- Second: I have lost a strip of wheel from the war altar (nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :-[ :-\ :'( :'( ). I have search it around a year, and now I have to face reallity. It is gone.
Do you have some ideas of how I can do something to make a war altar honorable? Greenstuff is not my strongpoint. Where I can get some similar wheels?
(fast option: buying another war altar is not avaliable (desirable) GW prizes and my economic situation)
Thanks in advance
-
The knight is from the character pack, he's a mounted hero. Basically one of the Reiksguard Knights, but with different details. Needless to say of got quite a few of these sitting around unpainted, I think I may have around four or possible five Empire character packs for some reason...
As to replacing your War Altar wheels. Short of buying a new one, the only way to replace them would be either via ebay (unlikely), or to drop-cast yourself a replacement. But to be honest if you don't already have the kit to do this, then buying a new one would probably be cheaper anyway...
-
Thanks stomm!
It is wierd, I have few character packs but only one figure like this.... Maybe rest of the Reiksguard Knights still with the lost wheels of war altar (what a mess). I can not remember this figure from character pack... anyway, your opinion is more reliable than my brain these days. Thanks
-
I have a spare set of the wheels if you want them.
Just PM me your address.
Mick
-
I think the War Altar came with some useful characters as well, perhaps that Reiksgard Knight as well as some 'elite' halberdiers.

I would like to show you my nurgle great deamon. It is a flying bulk of stinky matter and evil pretensions. It was painted a long long time ago.

That Greater Deamon is really cool! What model is it? Can we have a few more pictures of it please?
-
These are disgusting ;D which I suppose is the idea ;)
-
Thanks for the comment
That Greater Deamon is really cool! What model is it? Can we have a few more pictures of it please?
It is from Granedier. I think the model was sold only in a pack of demons. I could make a picture next week of the box (I still have it) if you are interested.
Of course you could see more pictures!, I am glad of sharing ideas, if you ever need/want/would more pictures (or comparision) of every unit I post I will be glad to post them
The really cool thing of the deamon is that when it is attach and fights, you could put the model on the rear with long edge of the base and it seem is going (flying) over the unit attached to attack.
The last picture is from a game it took place in christmas in 2008. I also like the other deamon with the whip (it seems like hit with the huge whip the hordes of chaos to lead them into battle ;) cruel but that is what chaos plays)

Thanks M4jumbo
I show you another vintage miniatures, painted by my brother more than 10 years ago (uuuff, better not make math with the years... it is scary). Well here is the thing, she represent a kind of creature who live in the depth of the caverns. Night goblins feed her and call her the Spider Queen. When the battle will be of big proportions, the Queen crawls to the surface to support her greenskin people.
I use the stat of the sphinx, and only use her in the goblin army (not in the Orc and goblin)

Yesterday I paint my first attempt of converting warmaster 40K. The pics are not too good (neither the sculpting :P) but I share it with you
- A space ork
- A tactical ultramarine
- A White scar
They are suit in the old power armer. I do not like too much the modern helmet.
As always any comment will be appreciate
-
The old "beakie" style helment could probably use a little less beak, but other than that it definatly looks like power armor. Are you just experimenting or planning on doing a whole force of Space Marines.?
-
Are you just experimenting or planning on doing a whole force of Space Marines.?
Yes I was experimenting because is my first total conversion and yes I am planning see how far I am going into 40k conversion to 10mm. If I get medium-satisfied with the scultp then I will like to make 30 marines of a chapter. I consider 10mm the perfect scale, and always love 40k but the 28mm do not satisfy me completly for a number of factors as size, the look of the battle -not a skirmish neither a real battle- size of the gametable, etc... (the scultping in 28mm figures is super I am not saying they are bad figures)
So I made those little marine inspire for the great work of DaveC and Clinabarum only as a personal challange. Now I will try convertions little by little. I have some ideas in mind of possible conversions.
Thanks for the comment of the beakie helmet, because I am just starting (and why not saying, a little bit lost in the modelling world) all the opinions/criticize/comments are treasure like gold for me. Also thanks for the power armor identifications, i believe the effect is more a paint converstion than a really modelling convertion, but If you have identified it I think I am going into the right way :)
-
I've always fancied sculpting a few 6mm SM's and Praetorian Guardsmen. Obviously there aren't any PG's for E40K, and the SM's are a little bit limited pose and weapon-fit wise. I suppose ideally you'd want at least five different Bolter Marines (ideally ten), at least two sergeants (ideally three), and one each of every heavy and special weapon option available in 40k.
Saying all that, a 10mm version of 40K would certainly be interesting. You could even use single figures and the 40K rules directly, just convert the inches to cm's on a 1:1 basis, and there you go 'Travel 40K'... I've seen and played a 'Travel Space Hulk' before, and it was a bloody good idea...
-
Yes would like to have all the special weapons... but the point is that I am not sure if I can make the weapons similar to 28mm, to get the power armour I will be satisfy. It is true only that I only have one season scultting by my own, but weapons seems difficult to build.
About the rule set my initial though were using the rogue trader rules. For firefights in modern era (1:72) I use the Smell of Napalm ruleset. So easy and fast. So I will try this too, but I am open to any experiment.
You could see in the illustrating art of 40k huge battelfields, with massed space marines against masses of space orks with one or two huge mechanical robot in the background. I always loved this art, It recall my the napoleonic warfare but in the future.
Epic40k seem the right scale, but for the pics I see the games are masses of vehicles and a little few space dudes in squadron (modern tatical warfare). I have never palyed but seems like a vehicle engagement. (If someone of you are reading it and play epic is my personal opinion not a criticisim fo the game, also I am very interested in seenig pictures of the game during a battle).
When I discover warmaster and 10mm scale I thought "Hey, this kind of massed figures basingwill work really well with american civil war, napoleonic... and of course will be delicious 40k like the original art of rogue trader" just masses of imperial guard and marine in units of three and a "giant = dreadnough" of two special vehicle-giant-guests for 1000 points. The idea was forgoten until 2009. But I realize my capacity of sculting so I will cannibalize 10mm figures to make single figure total convertion base individualize. Maybe in the far future I could base them as warmaster do and try a ruleset like warmaster (that is a dream).
-
@Jchaos. I'm a big fan of Epic and while I haven't got any 'in-battle' pictures perhaps this picture of my IG army would give a sense of things:
(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h291/Levinas/DSC02912.jpg)
In total I tend to use 34 bases of troops in a 3000 point game (so 170 individual dudes). I have to admit I've not played in many games where there have been more than that fielded.
If you've not tried it I'd thoroughly recommend giving it a go.
-
Hey pw, beatiful army!
Yeah, I am quite sure that if I give a oportunity to epic I would love the game!
Even I leave a good oportunity of starting orc army when I found very old material for sale in an italian (rome) shop last year. I think it was not called epic in the box. But I finally buy a 6mm Montrose army and other Scottish army (ECW), then, I ran out my money. I am thinking that because epic is a wierd stuff they could still have the the boxes. And maybe you are interested in email the store http://www.strategiaetattica.it/
(Lex/moderator: is this publicity? is this correct in the forum? if you are not too happy PM and I erease it, I do not have nothing to do with that shop)

Well my undead army is taking me a lot of effort. But I have a little time to going on my other proyects. Here is a chaotic Dragon Snail for the Glorantha one. The paint is made by my brother.
The second picture is a size comparison with a strip of high elves that I paint last week. Hu-Ho These elves had problems! The critter could fit also with a spawn deamon in the chaos list.
enjoy the pictures

Here are some orcs. I paint it some time ago, and I did it for the Middle Earth. The shield tries to represent (without too much succcess) a red fortress with black background, one of the Angmar motives. Well the fortres painted is very rough but because they are orcs it is acceptable for me :)

Now its time for some Renaissance. In particular for the game of Pavia 1525. The figures are a little later Elizabethan 1560-1610, Musketeer marching with rest and bonnet, but their are good for my game. They also makes perfect Empire (fantasy) handgunners.
They are part of the detachment of Del Vasto in the Imperial army. They are the regimment of Alonso de Córdoba.

The central stand came for free in a exchange. So I only have to make some highlight, then buy some pendraken figures, paint them in the same schudle of color and one more unit for the dwarfs :)

-
Great stuff.
Do you not find that you struggle to rank up your halberdiers like that though?
-
Yep, that was a hard fight :D
Finally to solve the problem I base only 3 strips in the central base, to make the weapons of the base before and after to fall in the hollow of the missed central strip .... ( :-\ :-\ :-\ how difficult is to explain me in english.... hope you understand). (4strip + 3strips + 4strips)
Just count the number of strip per base and I think my trick will be clear. Also you there is a strip not being used that is perfect to make some commander bodyguards :)
This is other picture that show how I base the halberdiers

More units for the Almoravid army. I had a project of building up the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212) using El Cid army vs Almoravid. It fit quite well, although the chronology do not fit perfectly. In the Peninsular crusade were the christian kingdoms vs Alhomades (islamic religous reform). Also I could reuse the Almoravid army as the fantasy Arab army with little effort painting some fantasy command and some flying carpets. Anyway here are the pictures of some units:
First Almohade infantry (Almoravid spearmen):

Great log JChaos79- I've been watching it for some time.
How do you paint so quickly but still manage to pick out individual models for different paint schemes? Doing this is really slowing my Orcs down, even though I am batch painting them as well as I can.
-
I must say JC, your standard of painting is definitly gettin better !! (either that or your picture taking 8)) comparing the current pictures to the earliest ones
-
I agree with Lex, this stuff is getting better and better. :)Keep sharing.
-
Thanks for the nice and encourage words!!
these days I have the evenings free and I take some hours of paint daily. I think the improvement is due to spent more time painting and being rested. It is different painting at 5 o clock with the sun of spain some cigarrets and a beer, than painting after a day of work at 23:00 and tired. As I said also in some thread before, my paint depends a lot of my mood also, do you guys feel the same?
-
I had to say that Azrael is ofr me a great great source of inspiration and keep my will to paint very high!!
Thanks pal!
-
Dude, those warriors are ace :)
Great work.

Nice! I'm really impressed. I'm also in full agreement with you over the difference between painting in a relaxed style and painting late at night after a long day. Right now I'm left with little painting time after work/family life, and finding painting rather frustrating. These things go in cycles for me though, hopefully I'll be enjoying it all again soon (though sadly I know I won't have the Spanish sun to cheer me along!). Seeing your pictures, and those of others, certainly helps the motivation.
-
thanks pw, building up my undead army for Tale of warmaster painter gave me lots of satisfaction (and you are the responsible of that ;) ), then I went to the cycle down and now I am up again. When the cycle is down I usually avoid to paint commanders or oop units, and go for the bulk army.
about the sun... could be, but living in the Island cheaps the shipping cost of ebay ;D :P so there is not all bad there :D
-
Today unit is Andalusà Heavy cavalry ( Hasham Guard Cavalry in the almoravid list) with the upgrade of shock cavalry

I love your chaos sorceror diaroma.
Also good to see you upping your output.
Got to say I have seriously lost my interest in painting of late.
Hoping for it to return soon :(
-
Great horses. How did you do them (the white one and the third (brown) one are particularly nice). With the painting coming on so well I think it's time for me to wheel out my traditional suggestion that you work on the bases a little more. At present they look ok but adding some fine sand under the static grass would hide the metal strips better and make for more interesting basing. I'd also think about adding less grass and maybe trimming it a little once it's down. I think the effort would really help set off your figures nicely.
-
Thanks azrael and pw!!
The horses are painted with Rackham - Earth syhar. The dark one diluting the paint to thin it and makes it transparent (black coated undelayer).
The white with 50:50 Rackham -Earth syhar : Vallejo - ivory, and then highlighting with pure Vallejo ivory.
About the bases... I do not wish to slow with elaborate / texturize bases. High grass is ok for me. texturizing bases is a little boring for me and if I start doining it I am afraid of loss enthusiasm. If I start I should do it in every unit. But I recongize that elaborate /texturize bases are deluxe!!! I love seeing them :)
-
New advice from me: Don't change the bases! :) If it'd slow stuff down then it really isn't worth it at all. Keep the good stuff coming, I'm starting to think about some painting! (which is a good news as I've just bought an orc and a dwarf army to add to the unpainted chaos and empire ::))

2- Knights of the blazing sun

It left me knights of the white wolf and the Reiksguard... But... Is there any other main chavalry orders?
-
Those are the big four. The two so far are looking very good indeed. How on earth are you painting so quickly, you're fast becoming the new Azrael!
-
More great work, as PW says you are picking up your pace.
A bit of friendly rivalry might be just what I need :)
-
I am far of being as azrael with post of 4 o 6 units :) ;D
I will stop painting for a couple of days cause a memeber of the forum and I are preparing an scenario for the contest, ( I think is a good reason ;) )

More great work.
-
Thanks Azrael, I am really enjoying painting those little slected champions, now they are ready for basing ;D
-
I did a similar thing for my empire army, but went down the colleges of magic route.
I ended up with 8 wizards with only really the potential to play 3 at the max :)
-
I know :), I love your magical collage! they are superb.
My idea is make one base with the emperor, page and chambelan in the first row, and behind all the champions representing the major orders, as bodygaurds or parade knights. Quite Big (8x4 or 10x6 still thinking in that), but the general do not often came into close combat, so in big games/tables could be very aesthetical.
-
That sounds great. Measuring command from the centre of the base does away with any base-size issues and if he's in combat things may not be going well anyway!
-
Yep, I think in the rulebook the oversizes bases for commander are included. it says (even if they are mounted on 10cents coin) that always is meseaure from the center of the base.
Today unit, Bone Giant

Actualy you nominate A point on the base and measure consistently from there !!

Your basing is gettin better too..... 8)
And it is VERY nice to see figures from other manufacturers painted up ! to often there is no or bad pictures on their websites
-
They are manily from Irregular, with a loose figures from old glory and also pendraken. My idea is to recreate a very famouse spanish medieval battle, Las Navas de Tolosa 1212, when the christian kingdoms allied each other to fight back the Almohades.
I have bought some magic carpets, the command and a little few figures from GW araby army, to reuse the bulk of the Alhmoade army as a proxy for the fantasy araby.

Today morning I made a Empire list for a game on sunday, and then I realize that I needed another painted Xbow unit to fit my list!! So after spent all the evening in a poker game I had paint very rush a unit of Nuln's Crossbowmen.
I choose Nuln for two reasons: 1) a lot of black parts is good when painting fast and 2) I like the idea of a brigade coming for Nuln compose of 2 cannon and 2 Xbow as "bodyguards", 280 points the combo. The pity is not though these before paint my cannons... so I will paint an estra two of them... but not yet.

While painting the commision I paint a tomb guard unit for me (in my fast and table top game standard). It is quite of colorfull because I like the idea of this guys were bright paladins and heros in the old days

They all look very good. Congrat!

Well I think during the worldwide campaing I am focus in undeads and high elves, so I am glad this is time to kick off and end the armies .... I think, because I still have some loads of these two armies.
Undead cavalry, the Ta-skorpion regiment

High elves usually love high grass gardens :D
-
Looking at your pictures over the last page it's really struck me how good your style of painting looks from a tabletop distance. Those Dwarfs en masse look excellent and your bold (compared to mine) contrasts really work wonders. Mine, which don't have the 'black-lining' effect of yours tend to look a little flat when viewed in a game situation. I think these dwarfs are my favourites so far in this project log. :)
-
Thanks very much pw, your comment is very appreciated.
Those dwarfs were a comission so I do my best, as I usually do in the commisions. Focus in painting exclusive 10mm for years give me some tricks to look good at distance rather than superb painting in 28mm.
When painting for myself I usually use a low standard of my painting to gain speed, and I found it acceptable for my games. Painting for my own armies is just a matter of have fun instead a big effort of perfeccionisim.
Anyway thank you again for the comment
-
Just got some of my elf army undercoat in white... mmmh never dominate those technique really, so I decide to experiment and paint with washes and quite flat quick colors. The result is those silver helms (not really confortable with white undercoat)

Just moved to another city with a new job, so I guess I am installed so I could start again painting. I do not have flock here, but my today unit is chaos hounds

JChaos,
Good to seeyou posting stuff again. The figures look great! Congrats on the new job.

Lets go with some beastmen. They act as marauders in my chaos list. I know I have no flock around here, but I will finish the units as soon I could get some

A unit of Ogres, I had lot of fun painting this bad dudes
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Chaos%20WM/Ogros2.jpg)
-
Those ogres look very nice :).
How much stuff have you got painted now? You seem to have shown us loads of stuff on this forum already and I'm guessing there might be more...
-
Yep I have more stuff painted, because I only show the here the staff I paint since I join to the forum. I have not pictured the staff painted before. But I am sure around here are people with more stuff painted than me.
For telling the truth keeping this log open, sometimes helps me to keep painting, and the feedback also is welcome and sharing pics keep the hobby alive. Recently I moved to another city and around here I do not have regular (or any)players, so I only can paint, or travel 600 km to meet my old player mates.
By the way, "the warmaster painter challange/tale" was a beautifull and golden time :) thanks to you pw

-
Those look great, I really must paint mine up (though I've been wondering if I might collect together the greatsword model to make a unit of them...). As for the tale of WM painters, thanks, I enjoyed that too (the first one really). When the second one fizzled out I actually found it demotivating and my painting really slowed down (it's been rather quiet on here generally I suppose). When I've got a little more time for painting I'm thinking that it'd be fun to run another one although I was wondering about finding a couple of keen painters and taking the thread to either Warseer or TWF to try and spread the Warmaster love around a little (obviously posting here too).
-
If you are making another tale I will be in. ;)
Now some black nights
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Vampire%20counts/blackknights.jpg)
-
The week unit is: Almoravid (Almohade) spearmen
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/spearmenalmohade2b.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/spearmenalmohade2a.jpg)
-
Another unit of marauder to my chaos army
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Chaos%20WM/marauders.jpg)
-
Very nice mate, you want to paint my 8 units ;) ?
-
Thanks azrael.... 1 maurader is enough for me ;)
It is curious that marauders is a blister that makes me spend a lot of time and also feel specially difficult to paint. Always I paint this unit they stuck my pipeline of painting. Could be only coincidence, but...
Another almohade unit
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/spearmanalmohade3.jpg)
-
I've always dreaded painting the marauders. They have a lot of detail, and should be fun to paint as a result... but they're also the "chaff" units in the Chaos army.
Kind of odd to lavish more attention and time on them than on the Chaos warriors.
-
Oh yeah!
I painted up 4 units of Marauders myself and then decided I would pay someone else to paint up my other 4 they took so long to do!
I spent a long time doing 4 units of Marauder cavalry too.
The knights and the Chaos wearriors took half the time!
Dave
-
That said... those Marauders are great!
-
Thanks, marauders are a challange (in time anyway)
This is my first unit of my Christian kingdom army (same list as El Cid army) to fight against my increasing almohade army (same list as almoravid army).
The unit is a templar unit. Knights from Santiago order. They have the early cross of Santiago order instead the more popular evolution of the cross.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/Santiaguistasycalatravos.jpg)
knights of Santiago military order of XII XIII century

This unit will be too in the bretonian army, of course ;D
-
Time for some archers
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/ALmohadearchers.jpg)
-
Great work as always :)
-
Very nice! Where are those miniatures from? Are those Magister Millitium?
Warmaster Ancients looks very interesting, sadly I lack a fellow player whos interested in ancient battles in my area.
-
Thanks for the feedback. The miniatures are from Pendraken, a highly competitive price 10mm manufacturer. I know, I know... the sculptor of the fantasy range is not the best of pendraken (neither their cavalries), but they have a wide range catalogue. They have 20 new references releases every month, so it is a very active firma.
I do not like the sculpt of Magister Millitum too much, but is only my personal opinion.
Maybe I will make a break in my araby style army and start a Viet Nam project. And still have in mind a warhammer 40k conversion to 10mm!.
-
Yep, nice minis. I like the way you painted the orange. Not too bright to make them look like clowns and still colourful. I hope I can copy this look to my empire army.
-
Thanks the orange colour is the direct application of Games Color 72008 (orange fire) over a black imprimation base color.
It also work great (I think) with black imprimation, then apply GW blood red and highlight with orange fire. At first sight, while painting seems to be a very abrupt jump of colour, but when finished, the it makes a hard contrast good to see in the table in a 10mm game.
The next unit is a chaos chariot. They have some humble conversions. The pics are not too good, a shame

The two heros together:
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Empire%20WM/DSCF0875.jpg)
The figures are from irregular miniatures (except the empire squire). They are nicely sculpted, maybe with a bit of lack of detail but very stylized
-
Great work! I really like those chaos chariots.
-
great stuff indeed!
-
Bold color choice on the chariots, really like it!

Nice work.
What ruleset you using BKC/CWC?
-
I am using CrossFire adpatation to Viet Nam. Never use blitzkireg commander, do you recommend it?
-
We like Blitzkreig a lot.
But then it is just glorified Warmaster ;)
The issues start when you play WM, WMA, BKC and FWC cyclically and the rules all begin to merge into one :)
-
Then I should get a copy and read it ;)
Meanwhile more Greens are coming

Btw I think the preferred term is either Viets or Vietnamese

uups, thanks Fracas, and sorry for the bad spelling.

More Viets,

and a concrete bunker
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Viet%20Nam%2010mm/concretebunker.jpg)
With this figures I end my viet nam mini-project. Now I have a core of figures and I will expand it with little advances in the future. Now it is time to move on and get back to my araby project.
Hope this break of warmaster fantasy/historical updatings had enjoy you also.
-
What game system are the Viets for?
They look interesting
What other factions besides nva, rsvn, and USA?
-
I will base them and use Crossfire. A very fast and simple game (you do not need even a scale to play).
Pendraken has australian faction, do not have the range and I think will be like USA faction. Also have a wide range of figures for Indochina (french and viet factions). I do not have also the figures. Could be great to make some house rules, but by now I am not focus to this.
WWII in 10mm also tempted me, Azrael has a beutiful british army for blitzkrieg commander shown elsewhere in this forum. I have some WWII odds half painted.
Another old project never build it enough is sci fi 10mm. I do not have an apropiate set of rules, but maybe crossfire is what I was searching to start the project.
Fracas, do you wargame in post war period or sci fi? if so, which set of rules do you recomend?
-
i play BFG, LotR, Wm, FB, 40k, DW, US
i have looked into FoW but that seems expensive and restrictive (historical accuracy and all)
intrigued by Gruntz
working on my own rules
i only ask because i am Viet :)
-
I never read Gruntz ruleset. If you develp some ruleset could be nice read it somewhere. I am from Spain.
Pendraken has some viet civilians figures really nice
-
I haven't got a chance to play Crossfire, but like the thinking behind it. Let me know how it goes.
-
I am not playing too much lately, since I am in Galicia and have no regular players. We did some playtesting this summer and crossfire works great. A lot of scenery is needed to work properly. We playtest with plastic 1/72 WWII. But no Viet Nam by now.
My last unit is another almohade archer, here it is:
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/DSCF0933.jpg)

Very good!!
-
I'm glad you like it Ed!! 8)
-
I love those new Araby figures! The paint jobs are awesome!
Are those GW figures or from some other maker?
-
I'm glad you like it too, Ed ;D
The horsemen are form GW araby character packs. The infantry is made by different references from pendraken:
- Imams from the range of afghan wars (XIX century) as civilians
- Each imam is followed of:
a) two spearmen (arab range) spearmen
b) a swordman advancing (arab range) command
c) a swordman (arab range) sudanese ghulam swordman
d) with lance (this guy is from irregular miniatures) from renaissence japanese, I think is a warrior monk. He is paint converted, his naginata becames a spear and his lamellae armour painted as clothes from desert.
-
Another unit of andalusian swordmen. The unit is painted by Mchaos
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/andalusianswordmen2.jpg)
-
My last unit is a caravan of camels. Could be great as an objective to defend or attack in a game.
Any other ideas about some rules or utility of this unit?
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/caravan2.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/caravan1.jpg)
-
Nice arabs! I especially like the idea with the caravan. Are these also Pendraken minis? They are much cooler than the empire cart wagons.
-
Yep, the miniatures are from pendraken form Afghan war range (XIX century), civilians and camels. The fellow with the sword is from arab range (ancients) command.
Thanks for the feedback!
-
Those camel riders are fantastic, really great colour choices, thanks for sharing.
-
Excellent choice of figures and colors. :)

Thanks AndrewChristlieb, in fact the models are great and the sculpting helps a lot with the paint
-
Damn those are fine carpets
-
A unit of sandorcs. They use to ambush and assault caravans in the desert. Also act as mercernaries for the araby army in times of war. When they are hired in the arbay army they have the stats of Guards.

-
Ooh, harpies is a bit of a break from your arabs and knights! =D
-
Nice harpies, and scenery on those bases!
-
Thanks!
@stormwind, just make a break for some chaos, and a little of dogs of war and go back to end the christian and arab army. Only left some light cavalry, a unit of archers, a unit of black slaves for arab and three kings for christians.
The lists are made to play Las Navas de Tolosa battle 1212. This year is the 800th anniversary of the battle, so I should have all of them painted for the summer! Maybe Edmund and myself could go to Jaen (where the battles was fought) to see the museum, the battlefield and drink a good wine there :)
-
I like the mix of colors on the harpies. The skin tones look good. And the nipples look right too!
-
Thanks for the comments, guys
Here they come some centaurs for the chaos army. They represent the pose B for marauder horsemen or to mark some magic sword or banner in marauder horsemens

Very nice idea to use chaos centaurs as pose B! cool.
The Tuska is great, too. Very fantasy-renaissence paint job... :)
-
Are those the centaurs some people use as Chaos Dwarf bull centaurs in Warmaster?
-
Are those the centaurs some people use as Chaos Dwarf bull centaurs in Warmaster?
Don't think so. I guess people use Eureka mins to represent the Chaos Dwarf bull centaurs.
Mine are from Pendraken, and the central one is a conversion using the horsebody of one centaur and the dwarfbody of a pendraken berserker.
The banner is also a rough putty modification.
-
New troops on the way,
Firts a unit painted by my wife, some medieval infantry (full of color)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/soldiers.jpg)
Then two units of jinetes painted by me:

Another unit from Mchaos.... wow I have to be aware or she is going to end with my all my bare lead mountain! ;D ;D
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Chaos%20WM/Harpias.jpg)
-
Well. as she is turning out production AND there is progressive qualityin her work, I cant think of a good reason to mind 8)
She is even doing the niples on the harpies !
-
I like the mix of colors on the harpies. The skin tones look good. And the nipples look right too!
She is even doing the niples on the harpies !
Am I detecting some popular interest in the details of these models??.... ;D
Good painting work for a newbie in the hobby!!
I Like the rocks, and (ehem....) yes, nipples too... ::)
-
Go Team Chaos! Join together in the fight against the evil bare lead mountain :)
But now that you are both painting, doesnt that mean you need to buy more miniatures?? :D
-
Two more units:
A tribal infantry painted by MC
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/Tribalinfantry.jpg)
And some archers painted by me
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/GWarchers.jpg)
-
An now a unit of Dellis, they were bulgarian, servian and east skirmish cavalry. I painted them to be used as araby knights, so I base them on the short edege.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/delis.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/delis2.jpg)
-
They look great. I Like the poses and the colours
-
They look very serviceable as Araby knights, nice and dynamic!
-
I am just preparing some saxon to be painted with army painter. Here is paint preparation, it is really fast. Any critic, comment or suggestion for a newby in armypainter will be appreciated!
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Dark%20ages%20WM/archers2.jpg)

Nice to see some Empire cavalry. Nice, bright scheme and good detail.
Dave
-
The Dellis and the Empire Knights look really good.
I am eager to hear more about your army painter experience.
-
Thanks for the comments!
@BlackEd, I am going to prepare several saxon units, and when I came back to Madrid on holidays I will armypainter them, but I will put pics around here.
But now another unit painted by Mchaos, a goblin raider pack,
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/goblinraiders2.jpg)

-
Nice work from the both of you!
Really like the 3 riders per base setup, makes them look very dynamic, especially with nice poses like your Araby proxies.
Looking forward to see the armypainter test, I am thinking of trying it in the future as well, so I am always looking for reviews!
-
I love the WhWolf knights, great colours!!
Goblins' poses are great, and are very well painted.
@BlackEd, @Guthwine: after Jo's thread showing his Army painter work I decided to give a try, here I put you a picture. IMO figures look really great, not very shine, but is very fast and enough good results for me.
@JChaos: excuses for posting a pic on your figs and work thread, hope you don't mind...

@Edmund, are you kidding?, its a pleasure to see those kislev armypainted. Be very welcome to upload some pics
-
A long time ago since the last time we paint.
Here a high elves archers painted by Mchaos. Skirt-Robes are painted with a mix of blue+mithril to get a colour similiar to silk material. Expousing the minis to direct sunlight gives a light metallic gleam.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/High%20elves%20WM/arqueros2.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/High%20elves%20WM/arqueros-1.jpg)
On the other side I manage to base a couple of lizard with laser weapons. Still preparing a mini saxon army to be army painted. I post the pics when they will be finished. Also I could compare pics with the preparation paint coat to get the effect of army painter... but this will be in the future.

-
Arent lizardmen already powerful enough, do they really need lasers? :D What scale/company are those from?
Nice work, I like the obsidian look of the bows.
-
Are the lizardmen for Epic maybe? Tarellian Dog Soldiers for the Tau? =D
-
Thanks, they are 10mm from pendraken miniatures. Toying with the idea of future commander, not have the ruleset but very interested in.
-
Nice work, I like the obsidian look of the bows.
Mchaos: Thank you very much, and coming from an skilled painter as you is really inspirational :D
-
Yeah, it's an interesting idea for the Elves to have non wooden materials for bows, a bit like how people have "glass" or "obsidian" weapons in The Elder Scrolls!

I really like those sand orcs! The Ogre leader is a nice touch.
-
Now a unit of undead infantry. They are some sort of Anubis guards. I will use it to represent a veterany in undead troops.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Skeletons%20WM/Summonguards.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Skeletons%20WM/Summonguards2.jpg)
I have finished my Almoravid and Christian kingdoms army, so it is time to start new projects. Great moment. I decide to expand my orc and goblin army. The goal is to been able to play with Grimgord black orc army and also with a goblin army.
To get this I only have to paint a few units, but I think my proyect will be paint more orcs and goblins that I will need to reduce my bare metal mountain.
-
I LOVE those undead Anubis guard. Lovely figures and cracking painting!
Dave
-
Hey Dave, thanks for the comment, glad you like it!
-
very cool Anubis unit! It reminds me a high rank Hero with his own bodyguard troops :)
-
Long life to inmoral troops!
-
They look really cool, a very thematic unit.
-
Simply, awsome!!.
The revenge of the mummy, very soon in your tables :-)
-
Anubis guards are awesome! Where did you get them?? And the standard bearers??
-
Thanks pals,
Anubis are from pendraken miniatures and standard bearers are from character/chariot pack.
-
Here it is the first ever dragon painted by Mchaos.
A goblin raider makes it suitable for orcs n goblins. I will use the stats of the wyvern.

Here it is the emperor command stand. Karl Franz stands between his eralds and a dwarf advisor. At his side also the Emperor champion, and at the back a row of the best knights from the different orders (reiksguard, panther, blazing sun, white wolf and kislev).
This command stand is quite big but suitable for big battles.

(http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p522/Edmund2011/Figuras%20pintadas/ImperioImperator4.jpg)
-
Nice painting but the character selection and the whole base design has no rival!!
-
Dude that is an amazing idea / composition for a base. Especially love the dwarf advisor. Wish I could have given you an elf hero to join in in a LOTR alliance style.
-
Fantastic stuff, the war altar rider (I think Ive got that right) is perfect as an advisor too. Bravo!
-
The original sketch did not have the dwarf. Including it was an Edmund idea (I have some dwarves painted for the anvil but never based), you know Empire and dwarves always had good relations.
-
Great idea, i agree with Stormwind and PW.
I'd like to see this unit in our next meeting (if you don't mind), because your miniatures are much better in person ;-)
-
A base worthy of an emperor! Great work. :)
-
Here it comes a Zombie Dragon
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Skeletons%20WM/zombiedragon2.jpg)
-
A unit of Inmortaluz. This black orcs are the bodyguard of Grimgorg. They are so fierecly and strong warriors that they laquer their armours with bright colours in order to take the attention of the enemy and have more fight for them!
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/Inmotaluzunit.jpg)

Grom the paunch - general 95 points
chariot +10 / +1 attack
Sword of destiny +5 / +1 attack first round in battle
Total 110 puntos --> command 8 attacks +4 first time in battle / +3 in succesive attacks
-
That's brilliant, and the rules look spot on for the character. Is the gobbo on the wolf Niblit? I hope we'll see Grom in some 'historical' re-enactments at some point, his career was pretty impressive!
-
Thank pw, I will do Niblit as a goblin hero in a different stand.
As we are trying to carry out a saga/narrative campaing using WMAA campaing rules, I am starting to paying attention to personalize commands. If the army of Grom wins a battle breaking the enemy he will gain a command bonus.
As a house rule if Grom's army wins a second battle breaking the enemy then a hero will gain a bonus (and that will go for Niblit for sure :) )
we are running it in the spanish forum http://warmaster-acolytes.mforos.com/2065015-campana-viejo-mundo/ is in spanish language, but is open for everyone who wants to join.
More than a conventional campaing is an impulse to paint and play.
-
Beautiful, i love those spiders, Jchaos and the goblin hero on chariot, gorgeus!!
People, you have to leave posting so many wonderful painting jobs, i have a limit of english glossary, no more good adjetives in my list :-(

Just thinking in making a thematic army of chaos from the Blasted Wastes. Inspired by mesopotamian/bronze age mood.
Here it comes some figures:
Chaos hounds

Sabre-girls as chaos hounds from the wastes
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Chaos%20WM/sablegirls.jpg)

I dedicate the paint of the war altar to Azrael, because he generously help me when I loss one of the wheel strips. Thanks mate!
-
They are looking really sweet. I like the Saber girls. Very Creative!
-
Thanks Black Ed!
-
JChaos, I'm following you on Photobucket. I saw a picture on photobucket of 3 griffon riders set side-by-side as if they were a unit. Can you post the picture here and tell me more about it? Somehow I got to think about Griffon Riders standing in for Pegasus Knights (for the Brets), but I am wondering if you have some other idea in mind.
-
Yep, there is an idea of making a unit for the empire with the three griffons. I do not like too much invent new unit as I think the list are great as they are, so I will use it as a veterany of knights.
If the griffons are dispose on the squares of the stands it is possible to fit them. It is needed:
- 1 griffon as it is
- 1 griffon with the wings bend (I use a round pllier tools)
- 1 griffon with putty/pinned hole attached wings in a up position. My intention is to round the top of the wings to give them more movement to the figure. This griffon also could be in the center position.
The pics are here

Here it goes one of my generals, Grunburg the greedy, Warlord of the Yellow Eye Tribe. During his battles, he had earn the title of Empirez Builder, so Grunburg can demand fealty from the enemy army. 1 to 4 enemies units could be affected, and they had a -1 command penalty until such time as one of the grunburg's units has been destroyed.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/Grunburg_zps80e532d6.jpg)
One of the veteran units of his army is the Grunburg's looters, a warband known for his brutal manner of loot and goldthirst impulse in battle. They have the following: the last stand of the unit is given a bonus of +3 hits. This bonus is only activated once the unit is reduce to a single base

Good work on the River Trolls - are they converted?
-
Thanks Stormwind. No, there are not conversion in them. They are as they came in the blister. The figures are awesome sculpted. They are an alternative figure for stone trolls. But I have seen blisters mixing stone and river trolls... interesing, it is a pitty ohter references with alternative figures do not do the same.

In the far Uthulan, Queen Ithassel has birth to triplets, an extraordinary event in elves races. When they became mature they fight in the same regiment, known as The three storm hawks regimment. The princess fighting side by side is represented as a veteran regiment or with a magic item.

The paint was an experiment. Just take some odds of High elf army to build the unit and paint it with no undercoat, no washes, no paintbursh. Only flat colours and some coarse highlights. Paint as fast as possible. Surprisingly found it acceptable for me as a battle top standard.
Then a hero on chariot, paint also very fast but with black undercoat and highlight only in few colours

Ooh be careful, pikes bend easily. =-<<
-
Yep, they bend easly and can suffer of paint chips, but I never seen a pendraken pike broken, and that really relax me. Could be difficult to straight but well.... I have a looot of time between games :)
-
I really love the idea of an orcish war altar.
-
Thanks all of you for your feedback...
... you could see the orc war altar soon (more or less) in a battle report: Diadorks wars! 8)

Thanks, There is other knight in the workbench, probably golden armour, and green/white banner, black horses and the feathers brown with the tips black.
A very dark combination (horse and feathers) but hope golden armour then makes the effect of bright knight.

Everything here is great. A little bit dark, but maybe it's pictures effect ?
I like the infantry proxy.

Proyect: Araby Yihadist group attack
Unit: Guards from the Harem of the Mighty Sultan Mustafá al Gadafi,
The idea pops remembering the guard of the libian dictator, a bunch of fatal and beautiful women holding maching guns.
Guards from the Harem are highly skilled slaves trainned to make love to the sultan and war to the rest of the men. The leader of this regiment is Dalaila, a empire born from Tilean who was kidnapped by arabs pirates while whe was a children. Now an assasin of exceptional beauty is the most loyal follower of the Sultan.
When things goes bad for Mighty Sltan Mustafá al Gadafi in the battle, he join this unit of camel raiders and launches himself to the heat of the war.
This unit is camel raider + banner of defence
Again the base is not complete, I need to get sand to cover the base

Well that's certainly a, errm, different kind of unit for Warmaster! ;)
Where are the figures from?
-
Thanks Andy,
The figures are from Pendraken, from their Fantasy range of Amazons. You could see the whole range of (·)(·) warriors here http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4118.0
Seeing the figures there is no doubt that they belong to Fantasy category. Sometimes even a little grotesque.
-
I like the idea, anyway, grotesque or not. It suits very well the traditional arabian fantastic ambiance.
-
Great idea for a unit. :)
Good job with the veils, too

Miniproject: Kislev, Defenders of the Homeland.
Unit: 2nd regiment of volunteers from Kislev (profile archers)
Training archers means skilful and strong men and long time of training to obtain a useful unit. In times of invasion those requirements are not always achived.
Handgunners are not accurate (or safe!), expensive to produce and are useless in damp weather. But it is relatively easy to train troops to use them. The Citiy of Kislev which has a high income due to the trade with the Empire can afford to invest in handguns and can raise quickly some regiments of volunteers in times of invasion.
2nd regiment is leaded Sergei Zwovensco, the fifth son of a rich family that make their fabolous wealth with the trade of Furr.

Project: Wierd War II, British army
Unit: Desert Rats, secret arm of the 8th army.
In 1946 world continues. German and British are in a race of technology and genetic combination is appearing as a rude tool for enhance soldiers. While german collect genes beyond the Himalaya seeking for the ario- übersoldaten, british scientific search in the opposite direction. They do not matter to breed soldiers with one of the more resilient creature of the earth...rats.
Experiment 52 was a quite succeed and the subject survive its first 48 hours of life. Now they have to test the new soldiers in the deserts of Tunez. This new division belongs to the 8th army so Desert rats are back into the war.

Gaint crabs are strong lethal, not too much intelligent but with enough brains to follow the orders straigh for.
I face the problem that diameter of the base are bigger than 20mm, so do not fit in warmaster bases, so I use the third dimension. Some putty dunes were made to tilt a little bit the figure and to fit with the central base.

Unit: 5th knightly order regiment, Knights Panther
The Knights Panther was established following the wars against Araby. The crusaders returned with many great treasures plundered from the palaces of Araby, including exotic animals the like of which had never been seen in the Old World before. When the victorious knights paraded through the cities of The Empire, many did so with the panthers of Araby padding alongside them, led by a golden chain. The Knights traditionally trim their clothes and crests with whatever appropriately exotically patterned fur they can find.

I do like the fish men, and the lobsters and crabs!! Totally bonkers, but in a cool way.
I've just been flicking through the last few pages, and it's good to see that I'm not the only one who flits between projects. There's loads of good stuff, are you adding to existing armies, or building new ones, a few units at a time?
-
Thank you Forbes! I regularly lurk your paint diary in Pendraken forum, and I like really like your style.
I am a bit chaotic, so I paint by impulses. Something that kills me is paint twice the same unit at a time, so I use to keep all my armies expanding unit after unit. Sometimes when I have a game in my agenda I paint in order to complete the list I made on the paper.
I am very conservationist with the rules so I do not like to change or invent new armies (when I was younger ;) I did but then I realize that is more difficult than start writting the first think that passes your mind in a paper, then even if it properly design It is needed to be played, because I distrust of the rules playtested only in the mind of very wise people that do not need to take the dice to know what would happend... but I guess my discussion is going out of the topic....
where were we... yep, recently I am not having too much games so to keep my interest high I organize my figures to be painted in Miniprojects of 3 to 6 unit each. And it is working for me, it keeps my interest high! Also I am making an effort of thinking and writting a few lines of each unit I paint. Suprisling this exercise provokes to some kind of chain reaction and new ideas of units pops my mind. Also I think make the painting diary more pleasant for the readers.
Poseidon and fishmen army would fit in the following games:
- In a daemon army, as fomori or fishdaemons. - Use daemon army
- As part of a lizardmen army, or cool blood army (lizards + serpent men + fishmen) - use lizardmen army
- As an army itself against greeks (a kind of mythological game), then maybe I would use the ogre kingdom armylist.. do not know yet.
I am not concerning about the rules, so they would adpat to the specific game or battle I will have rather than setting general rules or armylists. I usually paint for the concept and the joy of painting.
My goal is painitng a unit per week, Last year almost did with 52 painted units. Now with a little children/baby in the house keeping the production is a real challange.

Last night was Halloween, so I decide stay at night painting and start a new project called...

Continuing the Halloween weekend I just finished two terrorific units
Project: Vampire count and all things that bump in the night
Unit: 1st Pack of werewolves
This pack is a clan of werewolves, they are all related and when the moon raises they feel the change and gather together to go wild.
I would use the stats of the gouls to represent this unit because the werewolves are alive, but probably I buy them a banner or magical item to improve the profile and fit better with the idea of werewolves.

That's some fast painting! well done

Thanks Geep, for telling the truth , werewolves and ghouls are painted without too much detail, and they were semi-naked so they were easy. Ethereal host... balck and white. Zombies were also quite monochromatic. Therefore it is possible the fast painting.
I spent more time basing than painting :) It has been a good painting weekend (raining outside).
Happy Halloween.

Project: Poseidon and fishmen army
Unit: 1st group of mermaids
Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover.
Ariel is the leader of the group. She is hungry today, so she sits on the rocks... and starts singing

=-D
-
;D
-
Those mermaids won't be diving with flotation devices like those... :P
Are you making your own rules for the fishmen?
-
;D
Not at this point, I would use them as proxies. Pprobably as expansion of lizardmen army:
Fishmen warriors = lizardmen warriors
Crabs = lizardmen on cold ones
Sirens/mermaids = could go for a myhological greek game as a special rule or umpire unit
Lobster monster = also for special rule scenario or umpire unit.
Tritons = also for a mythological greek game as special rule or umpre unit. (not made yet)
Maybe if I made a solo campaign I could playtest some sort army as Critters of the sea, or Poseidon or something. Right know rules are not my priority, because those days I am not playing at all.
Does someone have any ideas about more type of units that could have an army like these?
-
very nice! 8)
very good work with Poseidon and the sirens.
An idea could be Fomori army. Use the Chaos army with the following proxies:
Fishmen warriors = barbarian warriors
Crabs = chaos knights
Sirens/mermaids = ogres (they fit well and they are known for the human flesh hunger ;))
Lobster monster = spawn
Tritons = chaos warriors??
-
Yep I like the fomori proxi army!
tirtons are horses with the tail of a fish, like the ones of Fontana de Trevi or the water horses that pull the wagon of Neptune in Madrid. I was thinking of making a unit of cavalry so short edge. There are a sort of triton variant in medieval times that have human body... they are like a centaur but with the fish tail. I would try to make this critter the banner to mark the central stand. I do not know If I could do something with this idea, because it is a challange for me (with my scarce habilities of suculpting, but I will try). Anyway tritonsCould be chaos horse marauders.
Chaos warriors= ?? do not know... yet :)

Project: Kislev, Steppe reinforcement

Project: Kislev, Steppe reinforcement
Unit: 5ht shock cavalry, Boyars from Praag
Boyars are the landed, social elite from Kislev. They are trainedto fight as heavy cavalry bodyguard. Magic protection and a combination of horses and bears make them powerful, and combined with rigorous practice of war, they are a very effective force indeed!

You're putting out a unit a day :o
How long until the Kislev army is done?
-
Yeap, it is a little bit tricky because I just finish one per day, but It didn' meant I take bare metal and finished in one day. Also is a little tricky because they are not compelte units, they are made of 7 raiders so paint is very quick. Also I like the aesthetic of 7 raiders units and makes possible an army because the prices of ebay are now forbiden for me.
Project Kislev reinforcement is 6 units, and I have them partially based only the final snow touches (snow have two different types of snow effects).
Project kislev infantry is about 6 units, one of them were the fishmen and militia (made with saxon figures) that is complete. I have two units half painted and three bare metal, so I would like to keep the high rate.
When finished these two project then 90% of kislev figures would be painted and I would consider army finsih ;D ( I like to reserve some bare figures because you do not know what project would you have in the future)

Thanks for the comments,
Project: Poseidon and fishmen army
Unit: 1st Tritons or hippocampi
In the Iliad, Homer describes Poseidon, who was god of horses (Poseidon Hippios), earthquakes, and the sea, drawn by "brazen-hoofed" horses over the sea's surface. Sea horses continue in medieval times and appears sometimes as centuars with fish tails. Even related with sea horses is the sea goat or capricorn from Zodiac.
Anyway, this unit describes the horses of Poseidon and triton (son of poseidon) is heading the ride.

Specials thanks to Geep, who was searching some horses for his woodelf army, and provokes that dry_erase shows some spare horses which give me the idea of this unit. Special thanks to dry_erase too!
-
Nice Kislev lot
Very interesting with the sea horses- I thought it was an odd concept, but your explanation helps it make a lot more sense.
-
They actually are very common in renaissance art, in instance Fontana de Trevi in Italy and many more.
In medieval maps is easy to find them in some corner with sea.
It is easy to find them in antiquity in mosaics and therms, also in some pottery.
(They are among us.... :o)
-
So....
Project complete: Poseidon and the fishmen army
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3667_zps1b24883f.jpg)
-
I must admit, I'm surprised you've not dug out some Dreadfleet models for this: the monsters in that game were pretty good.
-
Nice work
Game rules will do some odd things to this army- like preventing the horses and various monsters from entering some water features :P
-
Like sea-horses cannot enter turmoils or seaweed zones? ;D
@stormwind, I do not have dreadfleet figures, but I could use my army in a scenario involving one or two ships and some land, So fishmens and their kind could attack the ships in the water or in the shore. Maybe I could prepare the scenario...

Project: Wierd world war II Axis
Unit: Sandbag barricades
A humble and simple barricade made of sandbags. Very common in lots of wars. Gives protection for the soldiers and block streets.

Project: Vampire counts and the aristocracy of the night
Character: Heinrich Kemmler
Heinrich Kemmler was once a great and much feared Necromancer, until ambitious rivals began to usurp his power. They nearly drove the Lichemaster to his death, and although he managed to defeat his attackers, his body was broken, and his mind blasted by the battle. He wandered the Border Princes for years, little more than a half sane beggar, until a quirk of fate brought him to the tomb of the Warrior Lord Krell. Striking a pact with the Gods of Chaos (or so he thought), Heinrich Kemmler's power returned. Allied with Krell, this despicable Necromancer has plagued the world of the living for years, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
See Kemmler summoning the dark power of the night, and quake in fear, you mortal!!

Nop, they are some 28mm bases like http://www.ciphergames.com/smm_fan_base_round.shtml
I bought some of them in blisters and they are not cheap, but give interesting effects for characters or small ruins. Other examples of this bases are
Bronze plates of ruined high elf city

Great work with Mr. Kemmler!! I really like it
-
Ah yes, the Scibor bases! I got a few for a 40k space wolf army that I never finished.
Unfortunately, like a lot of resin terrain, sculptors seem hell bunt on putting little leaves or "bushes" bits on such bases which rather damage using them for different models scales some of the time.

Project: Kislev infantry warriors
Unit: 2nd warwagon
It was a heavy wagon given protective sides with firing slits and heavy firepower from either a cannon or a force of hand-gunners and crossbowmen, supported by infantry. Groups of them could form defensive works, but they also were used as hardpoints for Kislevites formations or as firepower in pincer movements. This early use of gunpowder and innovative tactics helped a largely peasant infantry stave off attacks by Chaos larger forces of mounted knights.

Project: Kislev infantry warriors
Unit: 4th kislev infantry
Kislev infantry are well renown for their fierce axemen. These hardy warriors are armed with deadly two-handed axes and protected by light armour, accustomed to fighting in their rugged native terrain, and will do a good job at smashing into archers and poor quality troops.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3679_zps96245f10.jpg)

Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Character: Black coach
Black Coach is a form of chariot, pulled by a pair of Nightmares, who are controlled by a Wraith. This terrible creation is protected by the arcane wards, able to stop even the most powerful of blows. Its sight on the battlefield causes great terror, with whole regiments fleeing form this abomination; needless to say, they usually meet their death under the wheels of the coach.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3686_zpsf3a3f4fc.jpg)
-
That's interesting- where is that coach from?
I thought the driver was bare metal, but now I see he's painted as a ghost- interestingly similar light effect.
-
It is the 17/18 cemtury carriage from pendraken. It is a beautiful model. In my next order I am going to take three of those to make the scenario "The scape of the countess Hogelowed"
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4261.0
About the driver, The metal effect I think is overexpouser with the camara.
The figure is painted: prime in black + blue/greenish base (the same as the hair of the skeletton horses) + highlight with pure white the whole figure.
If I get something like "non metallic metal" effect I wuold be proud, but for telling the truth it was an effect non searched, I was seeking somtheing phantasmagoric effect.
Anyway.... I admire people that control the non metalic metal effect. I have seen marvellous work of Vincent around here... This is a sort of inspiration, but start learning an effect like this could take time I think.

Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Character: Count Dracul
Count Dracul belongs to Blood Dragons are the martial vampires. He is honorable to a fault, though still mostly evil-as-hell, he will never refuse a challenge. Consummate warrior, the count lives to fight.

Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Character: The sleeping one
Some vampire are too old to awake, so they remain sleep, and even in their dreams could interact with their enviroment. This vampires are transported by minions like hunchback, ghouls, servents or young vampires inspiring to the undead troops and maybe the presence of the coffin could lead to odd phenomenas like raining blood, atract lightings, gather insects, rise undead, or spreading dead among mortal when they are close to the coffin.

Glad you like them stormwind, here it comes the rest of the characters (hope the varnish is dry when I make the pictures):
Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Character: Manfred von Carstein
Mannfred von Carstein is one of the most magically gifted Vampires in the world. His studies of the Book of the Dead have come to full frutition, mastering the entirety of these dark arts. His magical prowess allows him to push his Undead army far past their normal limits. He is also one of the most tactically brilliant of all Vampire Counts that plague the Empire and has led them to battle on numerous occasions, the most notable being in the last of the Wars of the Vampire Counts in 2132 IC where he was killed in the battle of Battle of Hel Fenn.

Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Character: Zacharias the Everliving
Zacharias the Everliving is a Necrarch Lord, an extremely powerful sorcerer, more than a match for lesser mortal mages. He controls the Forest of Shadows, being the terrifying enemy of forest people and nearby mountain Orcs. His terrifying reputation is bolstered by his ghastly mount, for he is one of the few nercomantic mages with enough power to raise and control the Zombie Dragon.

-
Interesting- is that a mix of Black Knights and Khemri horsemen?
-
Yep, only have 3 spare black nights and also a bunch of regular khemri cavalry, So I recicle all the bits to a unit. The idea of painting 3 scheme of colors came when I present the figures in bare metal on the plastic bases.
The idea one black nigtth + 1 khemri cav per base, but central should have 2 khemri cav figures in order to differenciate them because I did not have banners
-
Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Unit: 2nd band of ghoules
In ancient Arabian folklore, the ghūl (Arabic: literally demon) dwells in burial grounds and other uninhabited places. A ghoul is also a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting, demon that can assume the guise of an animal, especially a hyena. It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals coins, and eats the dead, then taking the form of the person most recently eaten.
A ghoul is a folkloric monster or evil spirit associated with graveyards and consuming human flesh, often classified as undead.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3710_zpsed40ce8a.jpg)
Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Unit: The lonely ghoule
Just a spare figure to base individually, probably used as a kind of marker (if needed) during a vampire count game.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3711_zps0c0d4df7.jpg)
one unit to finish this mini project, but too tired to start painting now. Maybe tomorrow, do not know
-
I like the idea of a lone ghoul character- maybe a Strigoi vampire?
-
I like your idea. I just jump and took my vampire count armylist. It seems Strigoi clans are in the south (borderland, Tilea, etc...), interesting. I was thinking in an army close to Kislev (because is obvious I am finishing my kislev army), and I had in mind Necrarca army in the Middle mountains.
But your idea of strigoi is now in my mind. So when I start solo players (if I ever start the game project) then our Kislevites should visit Tilea :)
Do you guys, just play? or do you have some little backgorund after and before the game?
-
It varies, I play both at tournaments (were I obviously just play) and at home. At home the battles between my Skaven and Dark Elves are part of an ongoing narrative.

Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Unit: Winged nightmare
The Winged Nightmare is a truly horrifying creation of the Vampire Counts, who use their mastery of necromantic magic to fuse together body parts from powerful creatures such as Griffons and Manticores, supplemented with deadly horns, spines, tusks and huge malformed claws.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/zfondogrisFujis29505_zps12110d0e.jpg)

Oh cool!
I've never seen a Nightmare other than the official GW one.

I modified a little bit the position of the arms and he wings of the nightmare, and also cut par to "saddle" of the vampire raider as I did not like it.

PROJECT COMPLETE VAMPIRE COUNTS AND ARISTOCRACY OF THE NIGHT
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3743_zps6edd3d6a.jpg)
THINGS THAT BUMP IN THE NIGHT + ARISTOCRACY OF THE NIGHT.
I almost finish the vampire count army, with the wolves of BOFA, the skellies of the khemri and a black night + tomb guard that I painted last year and these projects for me the army is done.

Project: Dark elves, under the spell of Motathi the witch
Unit: 4th regiment of infantry, dark executioners
The Executioners of Har Ganeth are members of the cult of Khaine, Lord of Murder. In the cult's hierarchy they come after the Witch Elves, brides and priestesses of Khaine. However even a Witch Elf can be punished and sacrificed if she is found wanting. They are specialists in sacrificing people, be it High Elves, humans, Dwarfs, or otherwise.

How is it 32 points? What game system is that?
Also, in the time I've painted a clanrat unit you've painted an army :o At this point I've concluded you never sleep
-
32 points of Dux Belorum http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/88079/dux-bellorum
The sieze of the bases is not fixed in the system, so I choose, 40x20mm. The figures are 100% compatible for warmaster.
I could use the vikings as Norsca tribes for fantasy games. Also the OG figures are very nice, if you scultp some horns in the helmet (it is not needed to have great sculpting habilities to put hornes) you obtain some norsca very close to the GW concept.
I am glad to hear about painting projects: do you have an skaven army and you are expanding it or just begining with skavens?
-
do you have an skaven army and you are expanding it or just begining with skavens?
Just starting. I should put up a blog of my own soon (finally).

If you do so, do not forget to announce your blog around here, to peep you work
-
Really nice!
I like the threating look of the axemen unit charging 8)
You're improving your basing too

Project: Kislev solo campaing add and odds phase I
Marker: Horse sacrifice marker
I wanted to build something not too much sophisticated to mark a ritual or a sacrifice. Because I had some spare partes of a horse from the triton unit I think it could work. The result is not great, but is bizarre enough to be ok by me.
Horses are very valuable for kislev and steppe people, so makes a good sacrifice for the spirits

Project: Dark elves, under the spell of Morathi the witch
Unit: 5ht of infantry, herd of slaves
Slaves of dark elves are from distant points of the world, from the deepest mines of the dwarves to the distant jungles of lustria or even raids in the heart of empire brings citizens to the dungeons. In some battles dark elves release slaves as herd conducted by executioners. The slaves fights for thier lives against dark elves' enemies. Fear makes them fanatics.

Project: Dark elves, under the spell of Morathi the witch
Character: Morathi the Witch
Morathi the Hag Sorceress is the mother of Malekith. She was the second wife of Aenarion who rescued her from a Slaaneshi warband in the days of the first Chaos invasion before The Sundering. She is also the first Hag queen of the Witch Elves. Morathi can be seen as the indirect cause of The Sundering as it was she who introduced the pleasure cults to Ulthuan.

-
What do you count the slave units as?
I can't say I'm a fan of those Amazon sculpts- the proportions are just too excessive. I do like that they're much bigger than the other models though- it helps me think of them as being more like ogres.
-
Amazon scultps are not the best. For naked warrior woman Obelisk models has some beautifull ones, but the models I bought some years ago are amazons, so I am going to use them. When I ran out my amazons then I would consider buy obelisk for sure!
Being slaves for different parts of the old world, could be ogres (good point), amazons, very tall girls for tribes from Naggaroth... all can happens.
About the unit, my first approach is "the unit represent infantry for a dark elf army" so the stats should be spearmen 3 / 3 / 5+ 60pts.
If I need to go further in detail for a campaign game or scenario, I really like the concept "fear makes them fanatic". Also I would remove the armour because fanatic option do not usually have armour and also do not fit armour in the concept of slaves. (-15 pts)
At last as being a unit of non profesional soldiers could be treat as conscripts -1 attack -10pts
herd of slaves 2 / 3 / 0 special fanatic 35 pts
-
Project: Dux Bellorum, Umeya warriors
Units: 5th skirmish cavalry
For warmaster this is a unit with lots of uses, it fits in dark ages to Expansion of Islam armylist as Skirmish Cavalry. Also could fit medieval lists in crusade/sarracene armies as Turcopoles. At last, because islam world does not change the aspect could fit (a little bit forced, but fit) in a late medieval/renaissance as Anatolian Akincis.
Because they are based in long edge this cavalry do not have to much use for fantasy games.
But I also painted it for testing Dux Bellorum, a homemade list of Umeya. They represent 3 elements: 2 mounted javelinmen and a command with bodyguard.

Oh nice! In the long run I hope to have winter themed pieces for a snowy battlemat as well!
-
It is nice the ice theme.
I prefere go to Tundra or half grass half ice.
-
Nice, but i think you should add something textured between the polystyren and the vegetation. A mix a sand and glue for example.
-
I give a coat of glue + water + paint to consolidate the poliurethane. But I guess sand + glue gives texture and is more efficient in order to consolidate it.

Looking really good!

Project: Undivided Chaos, Sarl Tribe
Unit: 3th warrior of chaos
Among the northmen there are those who feel the pull of chaos stronger than others, they are called to search the path of the gods, the glory and finally the inmortality or the death in battle. Warrior of chaos are awesome fighters which skills are improved by constant battles. They are held in fear and have great respect and authority among the tribes.

Unit: 1st Mammuth of Chaos
Some northmen tame mammuth from the tundra in order to use them in battles. Those war mammuth are quite intelligent critters able to learn how to attack enemy units and also they are very resilient critters able to withstand such quantity of pain. The difference with the cousins the elephants are that chaos war ammouth do not know fear so do not enter in frenzy mode.
I will use the chaos spawn profile for this beast

Project: Undivided Chaos, Sarl Tribe
Unit: Leader of the Sarl Tribe.
While painting the mammoth my son of 20 months ask me to paint, so I give him this characters and an old marta kolisnsky brush of 00. The general was painted by him in a randomize way. Finally I lead his hand for three strokes of paint, white hornes and silver axe blade.
He did not pay too much attention to the warrior holding the horse, I give him silver colour, and he cover all the figure and then he ask me for red and paint his head/helmet (for telling the truth I guess he only manage to get the top of the figure with the red dip brush and then I remove the figure from him).
But he love to paint the horse. The horse became silver, then blue, then green then red. When he paint the head (top of the figure red) I remove the figure from him and then I lead his hand with some strokes of yellow in order to enhance the armour.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/2_zps5c34c135.jpg)
The experience was very satisfactory for me and for him. Quite exhausted because you need to give him space to manipulate the thing by himself but being aware of not trash the water or spill the paint.
That is how the brush ended after 2 warriors of chaos + 1 horse + 3 arab spearmen painted by him 8)

Really like the feel and colour scheme . Painted shields and faces very cool .
Keep up the good work .

I have to ask- why the Burger King banner?
Thanks ;D!
To make room in the howda I chopp the feet and base of the saxon, and glue it on the banner-fish shape to obtain a banner not so historical. So I have a rough surface. When searching for my Chaos decals I found the fixer of a toy froma a Happy meal that have the mark of Burger King and have the perfect size and it is a paper fixed which hidden the roughness of the banner, so I though why not?... it is fun.
Also I saw somewhere in the net a nurlge chaos warrior with a banner and it had painted the same mark but instead Burger King it said Nurlge King, sames colour same font. It was so cool. So I guess it is ok for my unconciesness to asociate the burger king with chaos. The fact it is I see the miniature and feel comfortable with that banner (I know it is strange).

Stuart
Thanks Stuart, I painted the warriors inspiring me in Hordes of chaos pages 68 and 69.
The mammoth is from irregular miniatures, banner guy is a saxon from pendraken and marauder from GW.
About the paints I used rackham, except for metallic colors. I really like rackham paints.

I am planning a project that we had in mind for a lot of years, well for telling the truth since we discovered pendraken. Aliens !
My alien project is representing the characters of the film and base them to play some mini games with the following rulesets: Crossfire (sci mod) / Future war Commander / Aliens a mini game from Warrior company
The figures planned are:
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4158_zpsi997hxiv.jpg)
There is a modification because instead of two bases with 3 infantry marines I will go for three bases of 2 inf marines. Maybe Hudson + Hicks / Frost + Crow / and finally Wierdbosky + Dietrich
I am asking for a little bit of help: Which army list of FWC would you use for Space Marines and which for the Aliens?
-
Little advance on Aliens project
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4236_zpsgfzmhpg3.jpg)
-
Very nice. Can you get a horde of 10mm Aliens?
-
Indeed ;D. I got a Queen, loads of warriors, a few eggs and facehugers.. I will get three times aliens than marines. Marines platton compose of 2 inf + 1 support + 1 pilots = 4 inf with 1 sarge and 1 leutenat. I will need 12 bases of alien + Queen.
I am thinking in Dropship Commander APC (Bear B) and Droopship (Raven) to proxi the apc and dropship.
-
Hee, tiny aliens! What ruleset would you use for them?
-
I will use Alien rules from Warrior Miniatures. They are pretty simple (a sort of space hulk for 1 player).
I would like to use also Future world Commander .

Note about Court of Delirium, as I am painting with my 2 years old boy I am more worried about saftey than the result of the minis. So I am starting a Court of Delirum army. The base colours are painted by the child, and then a wash and in some cases I paint some more or less quick details to enhance the figure. Result is wierd colours, and strange combinations, but ....hey! they are Faeries aren´t them?
-
I like very much that you paint minis with your kid :) So nice to have a hobby together! Where are the delirium trolls from?
-
He is too young to really understood what is about the hobby, my goals are he learn the colors, how the color mix, how to spread color on 3D figure, and sometimes to point some part of the figure, and of course, hold the brush correctly, not chew not shallow, not stain. And have fun.
About the Dellirum trolls they are Pendraken Trolls, they could do even good ogres for the Old World

Great to see you back working on stuff JChaos. Will the Kislev campaign be continuing with these fresh troops?
-
Hi Geep, thanks for your comment.
I will continue Kislev campaing. The experiment of campaing rules was good, but too slow. So I will drop the rules and keep the background. My idea is tracking a sort of background to bond little games to keep my motivation high.
I already had a game of the campaing but not time to make the battle report, and not even time to record the detail. Vampire Counts had another victory. I really notice kislev is really difficult to play with... :o
But I had to say games of 750 points solo players are not really representatives

The alien swarm has arrived! ~3 per base compared to the usual human ~1 per base is kind of scary.
Do you have plans to make a board that suits a spaceship interior?
-
I toyed with the idea but finally I am reallistic and I will not have time for that, so I drop the idea.
The plan is using warrior ruleset with some papel corridors or even with plain wooden tiles. Have a couple of games and then decide if it is worth try the space board.
At the time I am more interested in building outdoors urban areas. But when I have little time I always prefere "to paint" more than to "build".
Also have my kislevite Fort from Zvedza unassambled, for fantasy games.

What game is that? I haven't seen anything like it before.
-
First I have to say that it is 10mm of course.
The game is Dropzone commander (http://www.hawkwargames.com/pages/dropzone-commander) a firefight of sci fi vehicles in urban enviroment. I won the Shaltari (a kind of eldar race) starter as a participation prize in Pendraken painting 2015 competition (notice is a participation not a painter prize ;) ).
Dropzone commander ruleset is not bad. but I am considering using Future war commander with the universe of dropzone commander.
Future war commander (http://www.blitzkrieg-commander.com/default.aspx?Area=FWC) is warmaster for science fiction.

Strange... Really strange... But nice after a second thought !
The giant "wheel" looks a little buit too much like... A wheel :)
-
Thanks,
the wheel is not official miniature, it is just a top of an empty box that I painted to scratch a homemade portal.
Eden gate, is the minature of the first picture, and it is suppose to be like a "stargate" son grav tanks can pass through and enter in the game. Eden gate is a flyer vehicle.
The haven gate, is just the same but only for infantry and is like a ground vehicle.

I have boughtr recently a Republic roman army, and this make me think about I am very close to finish my Greek army (1 hoplite to finshing it) and also my egyptian army (4xarchers to finishing it). Also I must say that wonderful Myrmidon army from Empireaddicted showed gives me the impulse to take again the brushes and paint a couple of units. Thanks for sharing it EmpireAddicted.
Project: Mythical greece
Unit: 8th hoplites
This unit of naked spartan are painted with 300 comic in mind (and I have to admit Meet the Spartans movie flashes in my mind sometimes).

Are these for Hail Caesar?
-
Nop for hail caesar
They are for my warmaster egyptian army. I am only one unit left to finish it... 8)
It was one of the firsts armies I started to paint in 10mm. I did it with old glory figures. For many years I played it using lancers as archers. But this year I bought a couple of bowmen references for magister mililtum in order to finish it.
I also bought a Newline design assyrian army to still expanding my bronze/early iron age period. I already have some references of old glory, but I still not know when I am going to paint it :)
Also have an army pack of Pendraken Amazons and I am planning to paint them in a semi historical/ mythological mood as black sea amazons of the Amazonomachia . I will use the Homeric greek armylist, I think it fits good as the list consist in warrior, archers, skirmishers and chariots. I will use the camels in short edge base as proxi of the chariot.
So that's my bronze age plan.
-
A little bit more of 10mm but dropzone commander.
Post Human Republic (PHR) elite are called Siren Corps. Woman enhanced with implants and machine affinity. They are more than blood and bones. Among them there the Medusae, the 0.0001 % of the PHR’s population capable of harnessing the power of thousands of slaved Familiars to their will with devastating effect. In battle, a Medusa will appear to 'fly', levitated on a swarming, seething pillar of nanomachines and Familiars, sowing destruction and aiding her allies in combat until the enemy is utterly destroyed.
Her transport is a special Triton ship, named Triton-X
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/medusa_zpsml8yndhx.jpeg)
-
That's a very weird concept. Well done on the painting.
-
Oh neat! Surprised I'd not seen that one before.
-
Yep is a pretty new model and the concept is different as what you see in other sci fi games... I like this manga-crazy-wierd feeling of the unit.
-
Interesting stuff. The Triton and Medusae are cool looking figs.
-
Indeed, I just bought the scourge starter, it is awesome!

Going back again to warmaster ancients,
Project: Alexandrian Greek
Unit: Companion cavalry
Elite cavalry, those nobles were the companions of Alexander te Great. Alexander rode with them into the heat of battle many times, enveloping the enemy and giving the cup the grace from behind leading to victory.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4457_zpsq4w8a6lq.jpg)
Project: A sack of bones and other monstruosities
Unit: Khemri skellies
Undead with egypt style. A sack of bones and gold. A regiment of ancient remorse. A certain doom in battle.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4462_zpss62fd0o4.jpg)
Project: A sack of bones and other monstruosities

Very nice . Who makes the Macedonia cav ? .
-
The companion cavalry remind me of Chaos Knights - a possible proxy?
-
Macedonian cav is made by New line design. Now 25% discount for Xmas :D
About Chaos knights, it is true they have the attitud and the pose to be a good proxy, but they are not wearing full metal armour.- So depending of the painting conversion then.
-
The companion cavalry are really beautiful! Thanks for showing them off!
Where did you get that undead Egyptians? The look great!
-
Undeads were a personal project from a member of the forum berzermonkey but you could contact him and ask to have some.
The sculptor is Bob Naismith, one of the original GW scluptor of warmaster ranges, so they have quality.

Thanks guys,
Now more three units. I had some figures painted and this days I am only basing them.
Project: Ottoman turks, the Empire of the Half Moon
Unit: 1st, Azabs
In times of war, each village and town is expected to produce, fully equip and support a number of conscripts, Azabs, meaning bachelors. These poorly armed light troops are expected to guard bridges and roads and support the heavier troops.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4466_zpsou4iww8c.jpg)
Project: Bretonnian, Lordly domains
Unit: 2nd, peasent
Life at the bottom rung of medieval society is not easy or healthy. In times of war peasants are forced from their farms and drafted into levies, and if they are lucky, given some kind of simple weapon to fight with. Unsurprisingly, peasants are undisciplined troops who are better at fleeing than they are fighting
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4467_zpsbg5yzceh.jpg)
Project: Bretonnian, Lordly domains
Unit: 3rd, peasent
These troops are enthusiatic defeading their homeland but not very usefull in a conquering campaing, unless it is a Crusade. In this case, peasent come from all around your territories and gather in a big mob ready to suffur the penalities of war in order to obtain salvation.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Character: Old Elf King and his shieldwall
In the deep of the forest there is a little kingdom dwelled by Gnomes and ruled by a cruel and old King.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4470_zps4whvaxt1.jpg)
Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: Turbo wheeled chariot.
Gnomes are great crafters and master the technique of copper, bronze and brass. They refuse to use iron because this metal hurts the faeries. Gnomes had built a metal horse able to scream into battle as fast a thunder. Only the young crazy gnomes are eager to use the Machine.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4469_zpsurhyxnv1.jpg)
Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: 1st, gnome mob
Find a single gnomes is good and an encounter with him in the forest could bring you fortune. A group of gnomes dwelling your land could cause you some minor troubles because they move the things during the night or make bitter the butter. But put together a huge bunch of gnomes and you will have a dangerous mob of punks capable to do any attrocity only to beat the one made before, they will behave as a chain reaction ileadint to evilness and grimm jokes.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: 3rd, gnome mob, elder
The old gnomes rarely go into the battle. They are not specially good in combat, they act as young ones. The skill of the elders is wisdom, self control and device knowlage.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes

Project: Kislev, Infantry warriors
Character: 2nd regiment of archers
People from the steppes are skilful archers. With hard weather the farmers can not only trust in the harverst to feed their families, so they are more than occasional hunters. These tough people are great levy for the armies of the Tzar.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4483_zpsydiyzovy.jpg)
-
Tzar... Or Tsarina, as the case may be. =D
-
Like the Kislev archers. The one in the middle does look a bit like Santa Claus. Is that deliberate?!
-
It was an accident in this case, but I have one conversion of skiing german soldiers to kislev that I had planned to be painted like santa as a character
-
Hello there,
After months of inactivity in 10mm scale I am slowly returning (in my scarce time). So first step is to complete the unbased figures I left in the draw time ago... now I am stealing time to prime a kislev wagon and some figures to make the Red Guard.... anyway... now a little bit of Victorian Sci fi or Steampunk for In Her Majesty's Name.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4550_zpsxbchgz8x.jpg)
They are Lord Curr's company.
- Lord Edward Conan Curr, a maverik, adventurer, leader and ex soldier. Armed with Arc rifle. Talents: Explorer, leader, fearless and tough.
- Lady Felicity "Two gun test", Lord Curr constant companion. Two small italian custom made pearl handed pistols. Talents: Socialite and gunslinger.
- "Mad Mick" Macfarlane, is a brilliant scotish engineer, "seriously deranged, but quite possible a genius". Arc pistol and a vaiety of granades. Talents: Engenieer and fanatic
- Mohan singh Lord Curr's loyal sikh manservant, he so strong and massive that could fire a machine gun from the hip. Machine gun Talent: Strongman
-Then the Incorregibles, nº1, 2, 3 and 4. a mix band of revolutionaries, ex soldiers & street toughs. Rifles and shotguns. No talents
Here it is the original Lord Curr's Company
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/in%20her%20majesty%20name%20los%20incorregibles_zpsyx1mq3sy.jpg)
Impressive, isn't it. One could think why using 10mm to replicate those 28mm marvelous and characterfull figures? are we crazy?
I have two resopnses: The main one is because I love 10mm. The second one, is OK 28mm are so excited, and great... but do you have time and space to build a victorian neibourghood in 28mm, a Tibetan temple and the inside of a Zeppelin? Only thoso three scenarios will collapse my real house, and the game is good, but not soo good. I could replicate this three scenarios in 10mm and keep them inside three shoe boxes.
I also finished a sci fi base. It represents two civil humans. They are painted in space opera pale blue and yellow mood. They could fit in Dropzone Commander as UCM governor and assistant (objective marker) or for Aliens games, as colonies of the Wayland CoOrporation.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4552_zpsgm5qaeuh.jpg)
At last but not least, an iron age single warrior. It is a spare figure that I painted for the Carthaginian Citizen for my warmaster Carthaginian Army. I base him alone as a Hero, but could work well for a Glorantha skirmisher game as a Lunar Soldier.

Thanks Stormwind,
now is time for some classic warfare. Three more roman unit to the vault. Triarii from pendraken old range, and 2 legion/princeps from old glory. Finally a shot of my Roman Army. With this three additions I am rather satisfied with it, so I consider it finished, more or less 1000 pts.

Very Nice - they look the business for sure. These will make nice enemies for your Carthaginian army.
I am doing republican Romans in 28mm at the moment (as well as everything else on the painting table) but I have to admit the en masse picture of 10mm is hard to beat. Imagine of you were doign shield transfer at that scale.
Good stuff - please do post more pictures.

Project: Kislev, Infantry warriors
Unit: 3rd warwagon
Just warming up for the Tale of warmaster painters for the next month. By the way, only one unit to finish project kislev, infantry warriors. I would like to finish it before starting the tale but not very confident about that.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4627_zpsnae72ghs.jpg)

Nice one :)
I like the option of snow with green grass. Cool spring bases. Time to go to war again :)
-
Great work on the warwagon - does look pretty cold which of course suits Kislev. Reminds me I need to get back to my 3 (yep 3) Empire war altars. Thanks for the update - please keep it up.
cheers
-
Thanks,
@Marell, thanks. I use a foam snow from vallejo very easy to apply.
@adamsg01 3 war altars ? wow, I thought you could only have one no matter how big is your army.
what are you going to do with three of them?
-
Hi Jchaos79,
Yeah only 1 per empire army but maybe I will have to do 3 armies :o)
Was really part of the deal I did with the Gent I bought them off of. He wasn't sure how he ended up with 3 either. Maybe I will paint up and sell off two and keep just the one, however, am focusing on finishing my High Elf for the moment, then onto empire maybe (esp the 2 steam tanks I haev as they look so cool - must be patient).
cheers
-
Empire Addicted has great ideas to make a sort of War wagon with the chariot of the waraltar. Other people use it for Coulderon of Blood or a sort of screaming bell
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4664.0
Picture of Empire addicted and colderon of blood are somewhere in the forum, sorry but I can't point to them
-
Thanks for the ideas Jchaos79. Got to say I am a bit put off wit starting given how much work there appears to be to get a war altar completed. Still I will be brave (just after I finish my High elves that is) :o)
cheers
-
It is less work than appears. Once you have glue the three WM bases, then it is quick. (Or at least I do not remember difficulties when I paint mine)

Yep, really nice army. And i like the war wagon painted with colours. It's unusual.

Since I know you like talking about the catalogue, I wonder what is the difference about the horse archers and the steppe horse archers?
Cheers ole

They are complete different figures for the same stat. Steppe horse is the pose B for horse archers.
Regular horse archers. They wear the regular uniforme "sant's cloth" as kislev use to wear
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=6708.0
Steppe horse, They are bare chest savage steppe people
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=5614.0
Regular horse archers are the originals. Later appear steppe horse. Then Kislev range was discontinued but as far as I know, Rick ask the permisson to still selling Steppe horse (included in the Empire rank) because they make great Huns for the Warmaster Ancients. In fact the picture of Huns in WMA are those Steppe people design for Kislev range.
As curiosity I clip all the "sabre charging pose" who came with the stand bearer command strip and make a cossack unit.

Congrats on finishing your Kislev army there. They look absolutely fantastic and what a sight. Hope you get lots of opportunities to use them (and maybe win a few games too). Skaven look great too - that a lot of detail to paint and you have done a top job.
cheers

I complete my army for Alexandrian the Great, but also for Succesors.
It will be an interesting army (the succesor one). Having all the units that count for breakpoint in short frontage, the army became a very low breakpoing and very powerfull. It seems a must the Pyhrrus special which make the breakpoint a unit higher. Here is a picture of the army.
If I need inf light troops I will lend some Greek figures.

Wow! That's a lot of pike! Very effective and they really give the impression of the massed pike blocks.
You must get impaled regularly moving that lot around the table!
-
jaja thanks, not really impaled as they are GRE13 reference from Pendraken and the tip is not sharp.
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=5535.0
But... when moving it is quite possible that the pike detached from the figure and that ... borke my heart.
Talking about Pendraken Grumbledook, I read somewhere in pendraken forum tha they sell 10mm armature for modelling. It is not in the catalogue but I think if you request to Leon or Dave they could sell it. I know you have a great technique creating them, but maybe could be interesting for you.

Someone on the forum with a very pretty High Elf army replaces all his spears with sewing needles. :-X
My friend Mark did that for his 28mm Normans and they were vicious. =D
-
Havent commented in a shile but I am always suprised at the rate which you can put out whole painted battlegroups! Looking good! :D

You must have quite a collection!

The picture is not good as I took it with my old telephone.
Anyway the most interesting issue for me of this unit is that I did not painted it alone, it is a cooperative painting effort (such a effort... an patience)

Nice Macedonian army!
-
Thanks Easy_e, I'm two units to finish homeric greek army, so keep tune to the army pictures to follow ;D
-
First a unit of Persian army. Subjected infantry unit with the concept of Ethiopean marines. I used Newline Persian subject infantry figures mixed with Pendraken arab tribal infantry miniatures.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/ethipean%20marines%2010mm_zpsee1ojdjt.jpg)
Then I painted some trojan, a unit of warriors and a unit of chariots
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Trojan%20infantrty%2010mm_zpsb65xf8dy.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Trojan%20chariots%2010mm_zpsnvjj0d8d.jpg)
At last some heros to make the plenty heros of Homeric legends
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Homeric%20heros%20warmaster_zps9venf1lx.jpg)

Heroic Trojan army! What an awesome idea.
Persians to against your Macedonians is also clever!
I hope we get some AARs for these forces!

If you zoom the last image in the back part you could see the following:

I wanted to do a proper Trojan horse for 10mm but I am lack of inspiration about the model. So I will skip this task until I get inspired.

Hello folk,
it has been long time since my last visit here... and I need a little bit of help:
I just see all my photobucket links seems to be broken. If I go where to update 3 party service, they ask me to pay 400 dollars for hosting the pics in a 3 party !
Haha, what a madness! can you believe that?
do you know something about it? it happen the same to you?
If I log in photobucket I can see my warmaster collection photo pictures, and I can use normally the photobucket.
Stange days.
-
Looks like they've updated their terms of service boss.

-
Yeah, same problem in several forums, halas... Fuckers !
I council you to save your stuff and change to flickr or something.
-
I agree with the above. Photobucket has grown tired of existing, and seeks to end itself (I can only assume). Other people are switching to Flickr, Imgur, and other sites. It's a real pain in the backside.
-
Haha
400 $ !
Thanks for the info guys!
I hope you are having good games and enjoing the hobby
-
Hi
Unfortunately I do not have time to migrate all my pics from photobucket to imageshack and redone all the links.
just will try to go on and continue with imageshack
-
I almost think it should be illegal what Photobucket has done.
There are things, for example even on this site, where users no longer active here uploaded loads of interesting things and now those picture links are gone forever.
All the context in countless of forums and the associated pictures are gone.
They must be insane! :o
-
Haha, links are back again ! 8) nice
