Title: Warzone and Mutant Chronicles by Manu Miniatures
Post by: Manu Miniatures on February 06, 2024, 11:45:19 AM: Old Warzone stuff were the first minis that I ever had and first Warzone Eternal Kickstarter aroused in me the need to paint some old metal chunks.

Post by: Westfalia Chris on February 06, 2024, 12:36:00 PM: Positively glorious. :o

I absolutely love the vibrancy of the colours and the metals in particular really evoke that classic MC/Warzone illustration style.

Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on February 06, 2024, 04:01:48 PM: I'm an old fan of Mutant Chronicles and Warzone, and I've painted several miniatures too (old and new).
Your paint job is really superb. Excellent Non Metallic Metal and Freehand technique. I suppose you will use these miniatures for collection display not for play.

@ Katsuhiko JiNNai
I notice your work, 54mm MC minis look pretty cool.

All minis are properly varnished and with little care they should survive ocasional game. I have plans regarding stuff I paint, that not exclude gaming. It will take some time before I'll be ready to reveal a little. I need to prepare at least two small forces and my hobby activiety right now is dominated by painting a lot of Kingdom Death: Monster.

Soon I should have everything that I want to start painting two full squads of Sea Lions 1ed.

Your painting is excellent.

Some of the best painted Warzone miniatures I've seen :-*

I've been a fan of these sculpts for some years now, after finding them fugly to the max back in the nineties, and your painting does the sculpts a lot of favours. I've got a largeish squad of Sea Lions painted up myself, but not as Warzone miniatures, but rather as generic corporate troopers for use anywhere where I need the presence of an Evil Corporation^©.

Can't wait to see what you do with yours and your superior painting skills :)

Post by: Malebolgia on February 09, 2024, 08:55:32 AM: Simply the best paintjobs ever on Warzone models. I'm a huge fan of your work and I hope you will continue your epic painting on these lovely sculpts.

You have most definitely joined them.

Trencher is actually entirely painted right now but I need to make a base.
Title: Re: Warzone and Mutant Chronicles by Manu Miniatures
Post by: Westfalia Chris on March 02, 2024, 02:59:28 PM: The helmet and shoulder pads on the Trencher must be the most convincing metal effect I have ever seen, positively glorious.

As for the Stahler mini, is that actually the old Target/Heartbreaker figure? I have a used one lying about unpainted somewhere, and I don't remember it being so imposing. Magnificent painting on that one as well, obviously.

Fantastic! How long are you spending painting each of these?

No idea, around 20h maybe. I jump a lot between projects and spend 1-2h in a week on Warzone minis.

I obtained proper Sea Lions Sgt and Cpt, so small squad becomes small platoon:
