What is all that red stuff?  I see a Red Skull in there, very nice.  Still no Cap yet though?

Wow, better then under the Black Flag?!  That was my first book into the age of sails and it was an incredible read.  Bummer ending but isn't most true history anyway.  Look forward to it then.

The most vivid part is when they tun over the boat to scrape all the barnical and replace all the wood infested with sea worms.  I couldn't fathom using ropes and island trees to tip over a ship in my wildest dreams.  Great stuff.

January's production

Matakishi: What a production ... impressive!

I like the ogre and the tortured victim chained to the rock  :love: Perhaps the color of the blood is a bit too red - but the rest WOW  :o  

I have not been able to paint for quite a long time now - too much to do at work and in the evenings, eyes and hands are too tired.  I just have one piece to show -- bear with me, it is the first attempt after many months ...





I am quite happy about the face expression ... comments are welcome  :oops:
Yeah. I'm saving the world from vampire bats ...

It's like you're trying to make me feel bad for not having painted anything new for months! I'll just go sob silently in the corner, shall I? :P


I'm with Rhoderic on this one. My output was a fat zero during january! The mind was willing, but somehow lethargy took hold during January, must be the psot Christma blues. So with Matakishi in mind for inspiration, here's to a productive february :)

Ah yes, well spotted. I knew I'd forget something. As you can see from the photo the gloss varnish on the blood wasn't dry so the chestnut wash hadn't gone on yet.

All fixed now and matches Killjoy's bloodied base.

I like the rust on your troll's weapon very much.

Captain America is half done, as is Bucky. Both have to wait awhile until I finish my Somalis now.

The red things are my Blood Ghouls who infest the Deadside wastes in Shadowman. They are also Red Russian Ghouls who will be driving hordes of reanimated German zombies back towards Berlin in my Weird War II games (backed up by Russian troops and walkers obviously  :) )

This is what I painted in January. (Also includes making those hills and building a ship on the side. The ship still might get finished before the end of the month.)

I saw the Iron Giants on your site, very nice, I may have to get more although I have Hydra robots en-masse so I ought to use them instead.

Were do you guys find this stuff? Can you tell me where the Iron Giant is from?
Excellent painting, by the way. :)

Edit: Ok, to busy looking at the lovely mini's, lol. eBay what a place. :lol:

No where near the level of Matakishi's work but I did get some painting done recently.
Two units of Red Martians converted from Foundry Aztecs.
The conversion work was done through December but I didn't start painting until January.

Quote from: "Captain Blood"

Mine will probably only get revealed when LPL comes round again... (Unless the Prof decides to relent on the proposed rule change for season 2 which says only entries previously unpublished anywhere on the web will be allowed... Perhaps a special dispensation for figures which have only previously been reported on the LAF 'what I painted this month thread'?  :mrgreen: )


Actually It's allowed to put entries previously showed, no problem at all, but you won't get any bonus points for newly painted team. The fact is very many entries of the Season 1. were just old stuff people put in and got bonus points. All what I try to reach is to reward all the efforts of the people who really paints something new for the LPL. I think it is just fair isn't it?

Well, I almost finished 3 copplestone plague zombies  :(

I may just get the 3rd one finished this evening..... and maybe start the 4th.

I like that fat ogre with the cleaver. Reminds me of 'The Butcher' from a certain hack'n'slash video game  :wink:

Where did those ghouls come from? Heresy?
