Forgeworld Mortarion

Been busy recently painting up Mortarion from Forgeworld. Bit of a change for me as i don't play 40K, but i do like some of the models. The detail on the model was amazing and great to paint, i particularly like the idea of a display base and a gaming base on these centrepiece models, think it shows them off well.

Tried out using some weathering powders on the armor and base to age it, think it turned out rather well.

The Blackadder Commission

Just finished a Blackadder themed commission. One of the things i like about painting minis for other people is that sometimes you end up painting minis you would have never bought for yourself. These were a blast to paint.

First up is Blackadder and friends from The Assault Group.

Next is some WWI characters from Scarab Miniatures.

Early Saxon Warlord

Just finished the early Saxon Warlord and Standard Bearer from Musketeer Miniatures, although i think they are now Footsore Miniatures. Beautiful sculpts either way.

The flag is printed and then painted over. I have it blowing in the wind towards the front of the base to line up with all the sculpting  and hair on the models. I usually always seem to have my flags flying backwards, which i think most gamers do.

The grass tufts are the first homegrown ones using my new flock box.

WW2 Germans

Another side project i have been working on when i have a bit of time and feel like a change is some opponents for my 82nd Airborne, some Late War German SS.  Figures are from Warlord Games. Not sure if my camo is 100% accurate but i am happy with the result.


Samurai - Wave 2

Completed some more Perry samurai for an ongoing commission, this time Spearmen.

Samurai

Latest commission has been a group of Samurai by Perry Miniatures. Lovely miniatures to paint as you would expect coming from the Perry's. Now just have to resist the temptation to start my own samurai project, I have enough on the go as it is.

I have tried to make them look like a group while giving them individual tunics, trousers etc. The Mon is the clients own design.
