Title: Age of Violence: my fantasy warbands [22.07.13 +4 RalPartha Gobs]
Post by: William Lee on January 17, 2013, 03:16:06 PM: Hi folks! (and sorry for my english...)

I play a skirmish rules i writed myself called "Age of Violence". If you read french, you can download the rules on http://ageofviolence.wordpress.com/

These are my warbands for this game... It's a generic game, so i can use every kind of fantasy miniatures to make cool warbands. I love vintage ral Parthas minis, but i painted a lot of Alkemy and Confrontation minis too (there are french skirmish games...)

I Hope you will enjoy my painting works as i enjoy yours! ;-)

An human warband (miniatures from the game Alkemy. The knight is a warhammer)

My favourite though is the monk in the first picture. He's really mean looking!

And where did you get that sweet ass Centaur?

There is a shop in my town called "Le Vieux Paris" who sells technical toys, electric trains, rpg books and miniatures from a long long time ago... When I was a child, i bought my first Ral Partha miniatures in this shop, and 20years later, the minis are still there, covered of dust, in a box in a corner of the shop... :-*

Sometime i go back to "Le vieux Paris" to buy one or two, and that makes me feel like Im 12 again... ^^

Post by: Tacgnol on February 15, 2013, 07:44:06 PM: Great paint jobs! I had a go at using Google Translate to read the rules in English. I just skimmed them but they look interesting!
Title: Re: Age of Violence: my fantasy warbands
Post by: William Lee on February 15, 2013, 09:53:37 PM: Thanks

Im not qualified to translate it myself, but its a very simple system with fun fight rules... ;)

Post by: Blackwolf on March 19, 2013, 09:10:52 AM: Lovely painting :-*
Title: Re: Age of Violence: my fantasy warbands
Post by: DeafNala on March 19, 2013, 12:44:10 PM: The Barbarian & his Feral Friend are OUTSTANDING! You have the touch with your flesh & fur colors. VERY WELL DONE!

My only critique/advice would be to use a thinner mix on the base edges for a smoother finish.

Post by: DeafNala on July 22, 2013, 07:46:16 PM: I thought I had seen just about everything Ral Partha made...it's nice to be proved wrong. The Goblins are quite a departure from the usual sneaky stereotypes...a pleasant change & a FINE paint job. WELL DONE!

Post by: Mason on July 22, 2013, 09:54:41 PM: Great stuff, William!
Some lovely new additions to your collection.
:-*

I dont know how you can contain yourself in that little store that you have found.
I would be tempted to try and buy everything if I found somewhere like that.

Post by: William Lee on August 10, 2013, 04:12:34 PM: I can't... I spend a lot of monney in that shop since i was a kid... ^^

Isn't that a Planscape Bariaur? Lovely model and paintjob!

Pah, You're way ahead of mine, I painted around 1% or less (if I'm lucky...) Still, collecting makes me happy, so it's fine for me :)

They're called "armanites", an old AD&D monster, a kind of "devil cavalry"... I got the other one to paint.
