So here I am, I've decided to get on board the Frostgrave train after many years with Warhammer. I really like painting small groups and warbands so Frostgrave is the perfect excuse to paint more I guess !
As any frostgrave team has to be lead by a good wizard and apprentice I think it's only natural I begin with them :
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YUDi6WiY4ps/Vo602uvZBlI/AAAAAAAAfLo/8zZUHZZz5Gg/s1600/DSC02200.JPG)
The wizard was first intended without tattoos :
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nQhBhPHekEw/VolJyX1raZI/AAAAAAAAfJ8/dONSArvU9kM/s1600/DSC02187.JPG)
But to tie him with the apprentice I've decided to give both Woad patterns :
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QtjTFrLK4pc/Vo601IK3qTI/AAAAAAAAfLY/rGwX8UPAKBQ/s1600/DSC02197.JPG)
I'll be adding models one after the other whenever I feel like it in order to avoid any pressure. The painting is willingly quick and easy without trying to overdo things or spend much time.
You can read more about the wizard HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/01/frostgrave-wizard-from-asgard.html) and more about his apprentice HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/01/apprentice-and-wizard-from-asgard.html).

Wow... :o Excellent!

Wow... :o Excellent!
Cheers ! There's a few more of those to make it to 10 ! I'll be painting them whenever I feel like it ^^
-
You as well sir!
I started at the other end and have been busy making snowy terrain!
I guess we are looking at a witch or a summoner here though to be honest you could go with any of the schools and make it fit particularly because you get spells from so many other lists.
Great pair painted to your excellent standard.

The more I think about it the more I think he'll end up being a witch indeed. Terrain is always my weak spot hence why I didn't base them on a snowy ground...

When I saw your minis I said wahou and then I saw your name. I love your blog l'homme qui a pas de cul ;)
-
Those are SPLENDID miniatures, BEAUTIFULLY painted. VERY WELL DONE!

Cheers, you can never really be disapointed with Jes Goodwin can you ?^^
-
I really like your choice of minis and your earthy painting.

Indeed.

Good job on some classics, JB. I like the minor conversion! I think the wolf pelt clad guy feels more senior though, or am I completely off? Pretty painting, as always!
-
Nice pair of minis, no school like old school! I particularly like the pale skin tones, really suit dabblers in the occult.
-
Haven't posted this one here already and I'm about to use it in a campaign of Mordheim this WE. They are the Champions of Law based on th eold Warhammer lore when Chaos still had Lawful opposites. I've based this band mostly on Jes Goodwin sculpts to provide a strong coherence between sculpts from very different origins (Chaos, Eternal champions, Dwarves and all).

This group has evolved from a single test model to a full grown warband and I'm still working on a Greater Demon to add to the bunch.

Phenomenal brushwork and I adore the simple but elegant palette.

Cheers, they're really only speed paints, if you look at the tutorial you'll see there's nothing fancy in them, it's just the colour scheme works very well (beyond my expectations actually) !
-
I agreed. They look tremendous. Colors are a wonderful choice.
cheers-
red
-
What a great idea that "glowing blue eyes" thing is! I might have to steal that for ... erm ... something at some point. If I can pull it off, that is. Good to see an appearance from Lord Aquila and Gladius too - was just looking at mine the other day and thinking: "I really should paint them at some point ..."
-
Cheers guys ! If you want to give the glowing eyes a try, I've put the link to the tutorial to paint these guys, nothing extraordinary really ! The heroic fighters of the known world really are a great set and iconic like no other !
-
Not often I can claim that but I actually finished a model in a night (from primed to fully based) !
This time it's a low level wizard for my champions of Law who will conviniently play the apprentice in my frostgrave games as well !
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ag4-W0xSHRY/VuCdJMoM7gI/AAAAAAAAgF0/s8sJO-siYB4/s1600/DSC02715.JPG)
He's rather small when compared to the other members but hey, he's a rookie after all !
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mcUQLQDsjJQ/VuCdK09xxoI/AAAAAAAAgF0/ZJqOGzBrGbY/s1600/DSC02717.JPG)
Mor about him in the associated blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/03/wizard-apprentice-of-law.html) and I'll soon have a little more to share about him and his companions so for now I'll just leave you with a teaser ;)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qYukS2-aMWc/Vt1F3WYPLyI/AAAAAAAAgB0/Wdr97Mvvu4I/s1600/12834571_10153631316074775_279227598_n.jpg)
-
Cracking job as usual JB :)
I love the muted tones with the bronze pieces :D
Did you use Lensfx for the lightning bolt?
Cheers
Gary
-
Cheers, you're kind !
It's LensFX yes, My mate Colin made us some pretty nice modified shots for a coming blog post. ;)
-
Lovely stuff! I'll echo others comments about the great colour palette on these and I've always had a soft spot for hex bases! :)
-
Hex bases are the only way to go now ;)
Cheers, it was a pleasure coming back to that warband after a pause, I have one final model to add (maybe more who knows) which I'm eager to start working on !
-
Looks good, and I like the action photo too!
Just out of curiosity, what's the concept behind the hound?

Cheers, well I built this warband by converting chaotic model into laful ones and then I started adding other elements like Menilboneans and all. I wanted to represent every possible entry so I needed a beastman or a demon. While I was looking for bits I found those and thought it would be a cool concept to have "elevated" animals who have achieved a higher form of existence (sort of) thanks to the powers of the gods of Law to reward them for their service to hunt Chaos. That or maybe it's just a plain old lesser demon, I don't know exactly ^^ I thought it was funny to play with the beastman/demon ideas a bit !
-
Man those look good! I wish I could paint in that old school style.
-
All the creations since last I commented are GLORIOUS...VERY WELL DONE!
-

Pretty simple, I've written a tutorial (link HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2015/11/fresh-blood-and-tutorial-for-champions.html)), nothing really hard in it really. The phots are flattering but this is just a straightforwad speed job
Thanks guys, I have one last model for this warband that will take a little while but which should be great ;)
-
OK, this is a commission I made in exchange for an illustration. The Ogre is an old ogre hero from the Fantasy Warlord range (circa 91) and the goblin is from Redbox games but the pair just works wonderfully I find (not my choice).
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JZF3yIwOffk/VvrJUtVTk1I/AAAAAAAAgQc/eeFT4MfgOy8eu88gN2v9jx2zFkx28lgfA/s1600/DSC02823.JPG)

I strongly advise you to go check the illustrations, backstory and musical inspirations I used for this pair on which I had to push my limits a little. (Blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/04/an-odd-couple-ogrynn-and-goeblynkynn.html)).
-
Pretty awesome those two :o
Extremly well done :-*
Is that Ogre still available somewhere?
-
Blimey, that's good. Like a Paul Bonner illustration stepped off the page.
-
JB! You have painted a most impressive vision of how I see Ogre/Goblin/Orc skin tones :) I love the greenish/brown hues so much better than the green and the blending on the noses of the models, couple with Tartan and the blood/mud overlays is a beautiful vision ;) c'est bon mon ami :)
Gary
-
Cheers all, it's nice to se eyou like those as I had termendous fun working on them !

SHQ miniatures are meant to have them but couldn't find them on teh site, you might want to send a PM ;)
Blimey, that's good. Like a Paul Bonner illustration stepped off the page.
Can't please me more than that, I did try to put as much Bonner and Froud as I could into them !

Wow. :o Just wow. What a fantastic pair! Absolutely stunning.
-
The Ogre & Goblin do make a FINE LOOKING duo...from the noses, drinking buddies might be the term. Your choice of colors, brushwork & basing are as WONDERFUL as always. VERY WELL DONE!

Quick one today but I've managed to make a set of tokens for use in Frostgrave and other games. Those are rushed jobs with little money, time and energy spent but with efficience in mind. I 've tried to stay away from classic treasure trunks and tried to give some variety to the set.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rEf8uz8owlg/Vw_TDzJgRkI/AAAAAAAAgaA/DyLqg2qqBbo2nKMIc8V_qfzHc29RvkTHACKgB/s1600/DSC02871.JPG)

You can see each of the tokens in detail with some explanations in the blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/04/frostgrave-tokens.html).
-
Those will make some lovely additions to your Frostgrave table - nicely done!
-
OK, back to the champions of Law with a heavy weight this time. I needed a little punch so I though a Titan (Greater demon of Law) would be more than welcome !
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i7MtzpRiZ0E/VzTHjAMGMVI/AAAAAAAAgtA/BbnUxxFxB9UMu3ALs5Dr_eREfBT5fRRGQCKgB/s1600/DSC03187.JPG)

The conversion work was minimal apart from the belly plate I sculpted from scratch. He's been an outrageous pleasure to paint (base parts from Bibby and Goodwin).
You can learn more about whys and hows in the associated blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/05/champions-of-law-season-2-titan-of.html).
-
Where are you getting these big hex bases? :) Lpvely work!
-
Awesome conversion and interesting backstory, never heard about the Lawful gods of Chaos in WH universe.
-
Cheers guys !
Awesome conversion and interesting backstory, never heard about the Lawful gods of Chaos in WH universe.
Interestingly they're mentionned right from the start in the first Realm of Chaos books and you do get mentions of them in many books, Bryan Ansell did mean to take them further than the chaos gods but given how painful the RoC books were, it just didn't happen I guess. Too bad because it would have been awesome but on the other side; it leaves us room to play !
-

Painful? Did they have production problems? I still think they're some of the best work GW has ever produced.
-
Blimey JB! I should pay more attention to the important things in life. :) Jolly good show, love the lawful lads!

There was a huge time gap between the release of the 2 books because of the tremendous amount of work involved and the other projects ongoing at the time, I guess that this sort of crazy period is part of what makes those books iconic.
-
:o :o
I love these fellas.
A great and eclectic choice of figures that really come together with the limited palette.
:-* :-* :-*
I particularly like what you have done with that classic minotaur which, in its original state, is one of my all time favourite miniatures from the era (mine is still shamefully awaiting attention....) but I would never have thought of taking him in that direction.
Bravo, sir!

Stupendously nice painting!!! :-*
-
Thanks a lot to you all, he was a very pleasant model to work on really !
No here's a model I made as a reward for my 200th blog follower and the winner wanted me to use a battlemasters knight and give him a taste of Nigel Stillman (of GW fame) and Frank Frazetta.
I ended up with this weird looking guy who I hope manages to capture all the vibes !

That has to be the best miniature I have seen lately - an awesome combination of creativity and excellent painting!

You're too kind, the photo and varnishing are flattering really ! It was a speed paintjob to keep the nervosity of the concept and (somehow) fit with the style of the person it's destined to.
Thanks !

OK, here's a new model getting me back on chaotic shores ! It's a limited edition model designed for a meeting of the french Oldhammer community and it has of course a strong link with the models of old. ;)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xYCYASW8VtY/V0sSqQorigI/AAAAAAAAg3o/I3frpMs6vbERPPAFICbyXEqLGvu-ClTVgCKgB/s1600/DSC03284.JPG)

You'll find explanations for the background and colours in the blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/05/french-oldhammer-event-model.html).

I'm sure you've all wondered about what Judge Dredd would have done against chaos in the warhammer world. If ou haven't , i'm very sorry for you but I find important matters need to be adressed so here's my answer in the form of a model.

Well he IS the law, isn't he ? ;)

I'm super chuffed to be able to present you no less than a dragon this time !
I've never painted such a huge model before so I was a bit scared to begin with but as always a good sculpt is helping a lot and with Nick Bibby and Jes Goodwin at my sides, there was nothing to be afraid of !
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B3Y9CkzJSMo/V3vnckbfx4I/AAAAAAAAhqk/326R3cBXoA0f3mZsJabAs1wSn80eY9tmQCKgB/s1600/DSC03423.JPG)
This guy s quite a nightmare to photograph but would you want to see more about the WIP, everything is in the associated blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/07/the-dragon-master-champions-of-law.html).
-
Nicely done. :) I'm fond of muted, natural colours, and I like the colour change along the crest.
I have one of those in storage, somewhere. If I drag it out, I might perform a little dental surgery on it. lol
-
Cheers ! The teeth do look kind of weird but when you have it in hand it doesn't feel as stupid hence why I didn't alter it. It's a very enjoyable model so treat yourself !
-
Don't mind the double post ;)
Here's a special model converted for me by Gretchin (her blog HERE (http://greenstuff-gretchin.blogspot.fr))
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EXkyvMpfFBs/V4U9R8DsF9I/AAAAAAAAhxY/2iJdi_PaIRUCRITCGurhgmqTAZxxHMRHQCKgB/s1600/DSC03489.JPG)

More about this little guy in the blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/07/warpriest-of-law-champions-of-law.html) as usual

That's truly fantastic! :o
-
Here's a little sorceror of Nurgle to get back into painting after the Holidays. It's a commission job so I had basically little choice for colours chich is sometimes very nice !
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTox3WmjW5s/V571xOxuToI/AAAAAAAAiGs/aCK_TQ2LGE0G2nam3Tp6mqKvUB3E-7SRQCPcB/s1600/DSC03686.JPG)
This is always a pleasure to work on Goodwin models. You can read more about him in the blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/08/hess-poison-breath-take-2.html).
-
That is a very nice miniature and great painting too.
-
OK, because I felt a little nostalgic, I decided to repaint the first model I finished (not started) back in 92). I honestly didn't try to push my limits here but just went for a laid back aproach and he thus was a very enjoyable model to paint (quite surprisingly).
Here he is next to his 24 years old counterpart.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xD5NKej6lqo/V-d4orlnWJI/AAAAAAAAi6M/RFtLXzYJyZIZaU3_BeVYSyNr5dkpVOwGQCPcB/s1600/DSC03887.JPG)
You'll learn more about him in the associated blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/09/25-years-of-painting-or-so.html).
-
Looks great - I love the belly plate!
-
Nice. All I'm thinking is there's hope for every one of us if that was where you started from. (I believe I still have 25 years of painting left in me...)
-
Cheers folks !
Honestly it should take less than 24 years to getto that point, most serious people get to that in a couple of years, I only started painting seriously 3 yeas ago, before that I was lazy as hell. ^^'
-
Yeah, you made the best out of a really BAD figure!
good job!
Cheers
GS
-
It's hard to believe those two are the same mini ;D Brilliant work, I'm amazed, you made the most of it!
-
Well, while it's clearly not the best model out there, I wouldn't say it's a bad one either, it did paint easily after a few putty work and there's room for textures or freehands which some painters appreciate really, I always think you have to paint a model before knowing it fully.
-
Brilliant work! 8)
It must be really rewarding to see how much you preogressed through the years, seeing them side by side like that.
And your original paintjob would actually be a pretty ok tabletop standard with just a quick wash with Devlan Mud or equivalent!
Obviously you wouldn't though. I still have my first painted miniatures, which unsurprisingly are also Hero Quest ones, and I'm keeping them in all their glorious, blocked-in enamel state as well. ;)
Coincidentally, your ogre was mentioned in an after-game conversation yesterday evening, when we were discussing painting skill progression, and my humble Hero Quest miniatures came up... :D
-
Hats off!
You have actually succeeded in making a bloody terrible miniature look real good. Great painting.
-
I like the stubble on his chin.
-
So I take it the fella on the right is the one I can buy on eBay "pro painted" right? lol
-
Thanks a lot you all !
@ Daeothar : The feeling of progression is important to fuel the mojo I think. I only started to make real progress about 3 years ago with the blog honestly. How many pieces of my youth I wish I hadn't stripped !
@ Steam Flunky : Cheers !
@ Steam Flunky : You've got to add a little funk where you can to make those work I reckon ! ^^
@ Elbows : and RARE + OOP + L@@K. ;)

Here's a new one, I've just finished a special piece. This is the first sculpt ever from a 17yo friend who's started the hobby a couple of years ago. For some reason, he's opted for an oldschool vibe and I find it plenty of charm. Since he's had it moulded and cast, I had to paint my own copy so here it is :

Mor ebaout the dwarf in the blogpost HERE (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2016/12/gras-doux-fresh-new-old-darf.html).
-
Excellent sculpting. Glad to see the youth sculping in a oldshool way, I don't want a future with 32mm oversized bodybuilder of chaos.
-
Very nice, both paint and sculpt.

I really like the old skool vibe he has.
He looks like a right moody, crotchety sod.

Your Ogre is a GORGEOUS piece...BEAUTIFULLY painted in a FINE array of colors. You've come a long ways in the last 24 years. VERY WELL DONE!
AND the Dwarf is a GREAT miniature once again BEAUTIFULLY painted. His expressive face really makes the mini..."wait until I get my hands on the So&So who stole my boots!". The sculpting & brushwork are WONDERFULLY WELL DONE!
-
I really rather like him.
-
Great Dwarf! Has the right level of misanthropy about him.
I like the Ogre as well. It's reminded me that I have a group of old Heroquest Ogres stuck in the attic somewhere and it may have inspired me to paint them at some point!
-
@DeafNala : Well THANK YOU ! ^^
@Garanhir : thanks you sir
@Sir_Theo : Well the BM ogre and the HQ chaos sorcerer have proven me that even monopose monstrosities can provide painting pleasure !
Now since Deadcember is upon us, I thought I'd add my modest rotten contribution to it with the most humble of undead folks : a zombie.

For a quick job, it sure is a good one!

The fact that he happens to be one of my all-time favourite miniatures from my all-time favourite Zombie range is an added bonus.

If anyone can make 'gruesome' and 'wonderful' fit in the same sentence (and make sense), that is you. Great work, hats off!
-
Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
-
The old Kev Adams zombies are lovely figures. The problem with them is that once you paint one you want to paint them all. Cracking paint job on Peck Gregri.
-
Very gruesome. Reminds me that I have a handful of the old zeds, somewhere.

Thank you all ! ;)
The old Kev Adams zombies are lovely figures. The problem with them is that once you paint one you want to paint them all.
Precisely !
-
Here's a couple of Vampires that will serve as Wizard and apprentice for future Frostgrave games and leaders for an Undead Mordheim band as well.
I'm keeping the theme tidy so I'm likely to use models from all kinds. We'll see where it leads.

More about them in the blogpost (http://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2017/01/the-vampires-from-baronies.html).

The Lady, Lord, & Minion of the Night are all BEAUTIFUL creations. You have a real flair for the subject. VERY WELL DONE!
-
Yeah, that's awesome stuff. The vampires are spot on.
-
Some top notch painting on here, really great work on some lovely minis. :)
-
Wonderful painting on those! :-*
I take it, they are GW models from within the last decade or so?
-
Well thank you all ! ^^'
I take it, they are GW models from within the last decade or so?
The female is a modern vampire (still in production I'd say) with the torso of a Dog of war character named Lucreza Belladona. The guy is older, maybe 10 or 12 years old and was part of a set of undead pirate for the Sartosa setting.
-
Very nicely painted Sir. Excellent choice of pallette. Sombre but enough colour for interest. I love the idea of painting up the minis and getting the fluff sorted before you think of a list.
You need more C18 Zombies I think!
-
Well thank you all ! ^^'

Thanks, awesome conversion!
The Sartosa setting must be from a period when I did not pay attention - just googled a bit and found some very nice fantasy pirates. :)
-
Very nice indeed.
The lady Vampire is a pretty good model (very creepy hands though), I'm now so annoyed that I sold mine!
-
Lovely, in a way that only Vampires can be lovely, of course.
:-* :-*
Trust a Vampire to have some extra skulls handy, she even carries a few spares under her dress.
:D
-
Excellent painting on the two vampires. Looking forward to seeing the undead warrant develop.
-
Seeing as you like this band, I've selected and primed the next 2 models !
Thanks a lot to you all.
-
Hi,
I really llike your painting style. Very dirty and dark.
Yours vampires are very good, they seem old.
what's next?

-
Wonderful Stuff! The goblin on page 2 is a masterpiece.
-
@FunkyBrush : Thanks, I had to go and look, I had forgotten that guy !
@bibopx : Cheers, I'll make some crewmen for that undead team I think, they'll stay in that vein I think. ^^
-
The good welcome for the 2 vampires has pushed me to continue my Mordheim/Frostgrave warband so here are 3 ghouls I've decided to add. Yes they're technically more zombies and ghost than ghouls but I have a plan... ^^'

Love the palette choice on these guys, the red really pops out on them.
-
Definite Pirate look to these three OOH ARR! Very nicely painted as always.
-
The latest Deadites are WONDERFUL creations....OUTSTANDING brushwork & a FINE eye for colors. VERY WELL DONE!
-
Well thank you folks, really appreciate it, here's a pic of the whole gang so far (more to come) :

-
As SPLENDID as the creatures are individually, as a Group they are EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE. That is a WONDERFULLY DONE Gang!
-
Really great stuff. Proper eye candy. :-*
-
Asslessman, can I ask how you paint the ghoul skin? It's very Romero! :)
-
The dead have never looked so fine.
:-* :-*
This is shaping up to be a wonderful warband.
That colour scheme really works well for them.

-
I really dig your consistent hexagon basing. Great picks for the minions. I shall like to see more. :)
-
I love this gang! The colour scheme really works (that dark red with all these grays!). Your style really captures something medieval, I think.
-
Thanks you all, I have to say the feedback on these has been a real help !
Asslessman, can I ask how you paint the ghoul skin? It's very Romero! :)
Very easy, After a zenithal spray prime (white over black), I just basecoated with stone grey from PA (ref 884) which has a green tint actually. I just thin it enough to keep the benefit of my zenithaling. Once it's done I wash all the skin parts with a 50/50 mix of blue wash from GW with lahmian medium. I then add some purple wash (GW too) thinned with water in places like under the eyes, around wounds and such, then do the border of the wounds with crimson a carobourgh wash. I just come back to pick a few highlights with a very diluted stone grey on the cheekbones, nose, knuckles, eye lids and such places just to add contrast. It's really simple and quick, undead flesh has to be quite forgiving I suppose. ^^
-
Thanks! :)
-
I needed to add a bit of (rotten) meat to this gang and cheap one on top of that. Luckily, zombies are just that, cheap rotten meat to add to a party !

They are a charming trio of Living Impaired Guys; BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. Despite their horrific appearance there is a whimsy to the trio that is almost endearing...almost. As always, VERY WELL DONE!
-
Wonderful dead people!
This is really turning into a lovely Mordheim warband very quickly.
:-* :-*

Thanks you all ! Here's a group shot of the whole group as of now.
I'm prepping some new recruits as we speak !

Here's a little break from the undead with an Asgard barbarian painted for me by a friend on a painting page in exchange for another model painted by me. It's a funny come back to the start of this page. ^^
This makes me want to scratch the Goodwin barbarians itch I have to say...

"Sally forghhhh..."
One of my favourite films, coupled with great paintwork - what's not to like?
-
A bit of tongue in cheek can't be bad (depending on whose tongue and cheek) right ?
-
Drat. I was hoping someone had finally done a set of actual Rocky Horror figs. Maybe it's just as well, painting fishnets on all the finale sculpts would drive me mad.
Well, madder. :)
-
Fishnets on 28mm models... ^^'
Now I'll have something that hopefully turns you a little les on than fishnets : skeletons
I've just finished this pair of pirate sculpted by Tim Prow and sold by Vialudibunda (http://vialudibunda.com/equipage-squelettes-pirates.html) :

@Deafnala : Thank you very much Sir !
So all these undead and vampires had to lead to thi point. You knew it was going to go this way. Wolves, Undead ones. Twice cursed animals.

For a quick job they look really good, and so multi-use too.
I love the way you do those glowing eyes.

I love those eyes!

Yesterday, we sat at our respective desks with friends and did a video chat. Nothing unusual so far. But we used this opportunity to paint a model each in a single session with our WORST brush just to see if we'd be able to replicate those PRO PAINTED models you see on ebay and the likes...
Here's the poor night goblin I painted and the brush I used :

Still impressive. Maybe next time with an arm tied behind your back. Blindfolded.

You know, there are people who cannot paint like that even if they got the best brushes in the world ( like me, e.g. ) :'(.

OK, here's something a bit different with a couple of Characters from the eternal champion saga : Corum and Jhary. I have to say I really fancy Corum as a character and Jhary is just as excellent. I kept things as close to what I imagine they must be like from my memories without trying to fin a totally different take on them.

Lovely brushwork, as usual, on some wonderful classic sculpts.

Well a few friends and I are going to gather many incarnations of the eternal champion on a table so you should be pleased !
Great!
I love the old EC figures and think they work really well as characters for 40K too with just a little imagination.
I am thinking Inquisitorial types, for example.
:D

Here are a few selected shots from a Mordheim campaign we played this WE. We played about 4 games each with 8 contestants and all games were linked with a bit of roleplay for added fun. Our GM did an amazing job with the tables as you can see but with the backstory as well which made the game something better than just a savage street butchery !

What a wonderful treat for us all.
Some great eye candy in there.
:-* :-*
You have gotten me thinking that it is time to break out the Mordheim scenery, especially as we have a brithday gaming day for a friend coming up soon, maybe a Mordy-Fest could be on the cards.
:D
-
GREAT minis, scenery and AAR, CONGRATULATIONS!!! ;)
-
That looks amazing! There is a story and more in every photograph. I need nice terrain or at least someone nearby with nice terrain.
-
That's brilliant!
-
FANTASTIC! Those are some of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL of Mordheim scenes I have thus far seen, AND as a Mod on Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum I have seen a lot of Mordheim photos.BRILLIANT WORK! VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks a lot !
Now for something completely different, here's Morcar from Heroquest ! The model is one of the freebies at the Oldhammer event in 2016 sculpted by Geoff Sims.

So I came back from BOYL like many people with a special model converted by the talented hands of no other than Kev Adams the Goblin master himself !
I had a scifi pirate done last time so this time I went for a shiny bright fantasy paladin !

Now a bit a marmite of a model : a Bob Olley Skeleton ! I know they're not to everyone's taste but I really advise anyone doubting to just paint one and see how enjoyable they are and how they seem to paint themselves.

The latest additions are WONDERFUL.. The Living Impaired Crossbowman is OUTSTANDING; BEAUTIFULLYpainted & based, the Deadite Lad has a SPLENDIDLY expressive face...not easy for a skull. VERY WELL DONE once more!
-
Fabulous thread, I really like the skeleton. It's got character, which is something you don't really get with skeletons - except when they have different armour. I can see how it would be fun to paint!
-
Nice one, reminds me of Josh Kirby's (Discworld cover art) Death.
-
Thanks a lot !
It is true Bob Olley's skeleton do have a very expressive face which sets them apart from the Harryhousen kind and would make them more suitable for Tim Burton's movies or such.
They're a real pleasure to paint if you just let the sculpt work for you instead of fighting it really. I'm eager to paint more.
-
Wonderful work on all those old minis ! :-*
-
Something a little different this time, I've got the Shadespire bug (have only played one game though) but I've decided to paint the model right away to get the opportunity to try it a bit more.
I've gone for the good ol' paladin look, I don't see them as real vanilla Stormcast honestly, they're just your vanilla lawful good blokes in armour.

OK, just to take part in an excellent contest (http://gonzohistorygaming.blogspot.fr/2017/11/the-first-monster-man-contest.html), I've decided to concert and paint a rubber rooster using my left hand (I'm right handed) to provide the kind of monster Gary Gigax came up with in the good old days...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6uWTAnkN9Fg/Wh3TCzGW-6I/AAAAAAAApJk/tZsXtlzy7WICCulebodc0hel-HyvVJPWwCKgBGAs/s1600/DSC05274.JPG)
I know it's terrible and everything but if you do want to know more about it, then go check the blogpost (https://leadplague.blogspot.fr/2017/11/monster-manual-special-cockatrix.html).
I promise I won't do that again...
-
If that thread over in General Discussions needs any more proof that Gygax was trippin' balls when he came up with his monsters, this must be the most definite piece... lol
Cool that you set challenges for yourself, such as using your off-hand to paint. I tend to do the same thing (but not as extreme), whenever I start a project.
For instance, my Heresy Era Imperial Fists force is made up only of Rogue Trader and 2nd ed variant metal marines and I have not used a single drop of green paint in the entire force.
I find it keeps you thinking and creative, trying to do the max within the boundaries you have set for yourself...
keep it up; this thread is great! :)
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
-
A combination of the name of the beast and the appearance of the tentacles gives it a slightly innapropriate japanese cartoon feel.
As for Gygax's monsters I read somewhere that a lot of them were inspired by cheap chinese plastic toys. The creation process behing the rust monster was something like "Gary I need you to write some rules for this weird beetle with tentacles".
All that aside its a nice rooster model and the paintjob is good. The suckers on the tenticles look pretty cool too, but the tentacles could be joined to the body in a more convincing way :)
-
@Daeothar : Thanks a lot ! I completely agree some constraints can liberate you sometimes, Bach did use them as well as plenty of artists and the solutions you need to come up with are a great boost for imagination.
@Munindk : You should check out the contest page, it's precisely because the original monster manual was filled with cheap toys that I used them and the contest is about it too. It's also why both sculpting and painting are "crude" to say the least, I wanted to capture the techniques and ability of my youth. ^^
Thanks a lot folks !

Here's a champion of chaos from Knightmare miniatures in their Pantheon of Chaos range I 've just painted for a friend's Mordheim band.
It's a Kev Adams' sculpt from a sketch by MrSaturday and he's proven to be one quick and enjoyable fellow to pait !

That chaos warrior would make a great Aekhold le miraculeux.
Hadn't thought about it but totally !
Now here's another model I've just painted for a friend (after waiting for almost a year). It's more than 30 years old but man it still has some character ! Those C-series are just fantastic !

I know what you mean about character, as I have kept this fella in my own lead pile for years as I intend to paint him up as a Cult Priest for Strange Aeons when I eventually get around to painting him.
::)
-
Yes, that face. Gotta try this with a couple of my figures where I'm dissatisfied with my painting of the face.
Overall, really nicely painted figures here. Gotta browse some more.
-
Great collection of very well painted miniatures. I really like the variety of themes ... :-*

Thanks folks ^^

Here is the second half of the Shadespire box after the Stormcast !
These guys were like their lawful counterparts quite longer to paint than expected but I made it nonetheless !

hold on - I see now you've gone both ways (... vicar) !

Wonderful indeed. Exquisite work on the skin tones :o

That is a great wash-job, you really have nailed the use of the technique.
I tried it a few times in the past and it is more difficult to achieve a good result than it sounds.
Top job, sir.

Epic painting styles! A treat to look through.
Could you tell me where the graveyard is from? I like the look a lot.

Oh my, love the troll.

That troll's magnificent! I'm particularly struck by the mushrooms on his arms - the colours are just perfect. Beautifully understated and tremendously well done.
-
Excellent! Lovely troll ...
-
Amazing looking troll - just been back through the whole thread, very inspirational

Well thank you all really ! This one was quite diffreent from how I usually paint so I didn't know if it would be cool enough. There are things I'd like to correct on the next one like light contrasts (I find that one a bit too dark on the whole). But it's a fun thing to change habits and I did learn a few things so all in all a very good experience.
