Hi!
As promised, I've actually got something finished for my daily update in the form of Sergeant Harpy for my Flintloque project:
 |
| Sergeant Harpy |
I'm really pleased with how the Bog Orc turned out, with quite a few happy accidents paint wise and he's another figure done for the Flintloque project!
In other news, I've spent a bit of time rummaging my leadpile and getting it into some sort of order and have discovered I have a surprising number of Ork boyz lying around, ranging from Rogue Trader to 2nd Edition and more modern stuff too so I should have plenty of goodies to work on once I have my Eldar out of the way.
I also happened across some random odds and ends whilst sorting through stuff and have decided to paint them all up as an Inquisitorial Investigation team (plus Xenos tech slave!) They should make for an interesting leadership for my orange overalled guardsmen and make for an interesting mini project!
There's a 4A miniatures alien (missing an arm with the replacement being a Grendel Talos arm), A Kryomek trooper, two Warmachine Warcasters minus their weapons (replacements are being put together) and a Warzone Wolfbane Commando. Whilst they are a disparate group, I think they have some real character which will be fun to paint.
Haha, I love it! Didn't know the mini, it's a really fun concept, I think you made a nice work. More than nice!
ReplyDeleteFlintloque has some really fun sculpts amongst it and sadly some real stinkers but the original boxed set was brilliant!
DeleteI suspect they'll make a cracking ragtag team, nice work
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI've just found another Warmachine Warcaster who will be making an appearance as a zealous member of the Ecclesiarchy at some point if I can find his arms!
I like Sgt. Harpy. Is he a member of the queen's rangers? I really like how you have such a wide range of minis. I've always been so focused on GW stuff over the years, I feel like I missed a lot great stuff.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks! He's of the 95th Rifles ala Sharpe from the old tv series.
DeleteBack when I started miniature hobbying, GW was all that I could get but I discovered all manner of goodness in Virgin Megastore of all places and then my local store Macs Models in Edinburgh (sadly long gone now!) and through it I found all manner of wonderful ranges, be it Flintloque, Warzone, Kryomek or Leviathan to name but a few. Later with the internet, I got in touch with Ral Partha Europe who had a wonderful selection of stuff and Spirit Games who also had such an eclectic selection of miniatures ranges that I found myself picking up pretty much whatever caught my eye (and that I could afford with my pocket money!)
Nice work - I particularly like the skin toners. That group of random dudes is exactly the kind of thing I like to work with. Some of the Warmachine models look very 40k-ish with new guns. A suitable paint scheme should bring them together well!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI'm a big fan of your blog and there's something fun about using whatever you have to hand and coming up with a story about them as it really lends itself to narrative style gaming!
