For the past few years I have been painting up some smaller scale figures for Chaos in Cairo and general pulp wargaming. A fair amount of them are from Foundry and Rafm. I ended up adding some undead from Eureka, and before MegaMiniatures went under I scored some Arab swordsmen and mummies. The pictures aren't the best, they are taken on my new phone, as I can't seem to get decent photos off my digital camera these days.

Foundry WW2 German Officer. Happy how he turned out.

I forget what line these guys are from. It was some sort of archeological team complete with diggers.

More Arab Swordsman, I like how they turned out.

One of the diggers I mentioned before, and two foundry figures. I tried to tie the color scheme of the riflemen to the swordsmen, they are intended to be part of the same warband.

Victorian Adventurers from Space 1889. I may revisit their eyes at some point.

Space 1889 figures. I like how the Priest turned out.

A MegaMiniatures mummy next to a Reaper mummy. I like the detail on the Megaminiatures mummies.

I think the Ghost is from the Megaminiatures line. The fellow with the sack is from Old Glory.

The pugilist is from Space 1889, I am not sure where the young lady with the gun comes from.

Some Foundry WW2 German sentries painted up as Afrika Korp. Not 100% happy on their uniforms. A bit too yellow.

A couple of thugs from the Old Glory line.

Two more German WW2 figures from Foundry. The one on the left is from the officers pack I think, the one on the right is a sentry.

I think these are Brigade Games (http://brigadegames.3dcartstores.com/Evil-German-Zombies-Neubelebentruppen--Reanimated-Troopers3_p_1014.html)

You've got a great collection there, very nice!
-
As above, and I'll add an interesting unique painting technique. Looks like the use of an ink wash. ;)
-
Yes, can you tell us how you painted these figures?
-
I really like those Eureka Mummies. Cool minis.
-
Wow. :-* :-* :-*
Chaos indeed! That's a recipe for fun right there. :D
-
Believe the young lady with the gun is from Brigade Games:

The majority of the figures were primed black, then drybrushed white. That way I only had to use a couple of layers of color. This was followed by a GW wash and then a little more color on top of that. I finished it all off with a couple layers of gloss finish, and then a layer of matte finish. The new washes react really well with a nice matte finish, it takes away the gloss of the wash leaving nothing but color.

That's cool. Thanks for sharing. ;)
