I've been using spare time (3 kids and a wife don't leave you with much!)during the holidays (10 minutes here, quarter of an hour there) to start painting some figures for a game that me and Cheetor are hoping to play at this years Oldhammer day in August. I'm painting a Pirate crew that are going to be competing against Cheetors crew (who I believe are likely to be Orks) and other hindrances for some space-loot.

I also managed to finish Johny Alpha and Wulf Sternhammer, the Gronk is next!

Back to work tomorrow. Boo!

Great stuff.
Love the old skool fellas.
:-* 8) :-*
I am keen to do some of my own that I have been stashing away for some time now.
Maybe when you post pics of this 'Oldhammer Day' (what is this, by the way???), then maybe by then I will have cleared the decks of my current projects and I will be given the nudge to get going myself.
:D

Oldhammer day is a really a weekend of old school gaming to be held at Foundry HQ in August and is being organised through the Oldhammer forum. I'm looking to take part in a rather relaxed Rogue Trader game followed by an all in attempt at the semi-mythical Confrontation that GW part published in White Dwarf donkey's years ago.
-
Wow! I'd dust off my Hive Brats and Tech Gang to play that! :D :` lol
-
Ha! I've been painting RT pirates too these days!
-
So cool. Such vibrant colours the Strontium Dog is perfect!! :)
-
Got another couple done last night, I'm really enjoying painting these old figures.

Great stuff and great pics too
-
Great stuff!!! I love the bright colours!
-
You've got to live up to the original paint jobs! http://solegends.com/citrt/rt601pirates.htm lol
-
Lovely stuff mate, exactly what I needed to feast my eyes on!
Great job on Johnny and Wulf, and the pirates are something else. Fine models and fine painting! Now, more!
-
Excellent paint jobs. Are you finishing off the bases?
-
Yeah, I'll do the whole group together once I have a idea of what kind of board we'll be playing on.
-
Lovely work :)
-
Wow. Johnny and Wulf look fantastic. Those old pirates look great too. :D
-
:-* :o :-* As stated elsewhere these pics are hugely inspiring! thanks for posting them up for us to drool over.
Cheers,
Blue
-
It's going to be fun taking these guys on :)
The colour scheme(s) on the pirates is exceptional. Great stuff.
I'm painting a Pirate crew that are going to be competing against Cheetors crew (who I believe are likely to be Orks)
Almost 100% certainly going to be Orks. It will be a few weeks before I get to painting them though.
-
I used to have those two pirates. Foolishly sold them off long ago. You've given them an eye-catching paint-job.
-
Finished the final 3 crew for my Pirates

Hey Colin, those laser cut things in the background... where are they from? As I'm just getting (back, after nearly 2 decades and a complete purge) into scifi I'm considering all options to quickly get a small table playable.
And, as always, the salty spacemen have me timbers a-shivering!
-
wait...who is that half painted guy in your last picture!?!?! I don't know him....but must add him to my wants list!
Regards,
Blue
-
Love the new crew members.
I shall be coming back to this thread when I do my own, Olly Flavored, pirates.
:-* 8) :-*

He is from the Lead Adventure Miniatures, Heroes and Villains line:
http://www.lead-adventure.com/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=197
A wonderful sculpt, just the right amount of detail.
-
Mason is of course correct! Frank "Eraser" von Stein! Great figure!
And in answer to Phreed's question, the mdf stuff is all by Sarissa. Nice stuff. I went for one of the bundle offers (scroll down the page) http://www.sarissa-precision.co.uk/store/system8/
Sprayed black, a couple of squirts of gray/green/brown - whatever I had sitting about - and then attacked with two shades of rust pigment. Easy!

Perfect! that is a great figure...I thought it looked like a Ratnik face...I'll have to pick him up when I get the chance.

Finished up my pirates bringing me up to 12
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qX9ZCPG9X9M/U2qd6E2veeI/AAAAAAAABL8/8arsghIvXhk/s640/blogger-image-7338425.jpg) need to finish four more figures for the game and then I can move on to the confrontation gangs.
That is of course if I don't get distracted by doing a load of scenery, apart from ripping off Matakishi (all credit to him!), I've also started to convert my sarissa centre point so that i can install a bar!

and I've been working on buildings for 7TV/AFoKF/dredd games as well

Nice all around!
Lovely Old School GW and some moderns mixed in as well.
I used to own a few of those old fellows.
Thanks for the heads up!

Everybody hates the fuzz!
-
That's where the traitor general's holed up!! I'm contacting MILLICOM straight away. Rogue will be pleased.
:D
-
Great stuff. I love seeing these old figures well painted in cool terrain. can't wait to see more.

Im dancing the intergalactic hornpipe in anticipation :)
The bowler on one of the new guys is suggestive of Junior Angel. Not a bad thing in itself, thats for sure :)
-
Bloody brilliant, sir.
Love it all!

Please tell me where that bar furniture is from.

An old friend popped round and we grabbed enough time to play a fast and loose Rogue trader game

A great time was had and far too many ones were rolled! AAR is on the blog if that kind of things floats your boat
-
Thought I'd resurrect this thread to post up recent bits and pieces.
First of all, you may have seen a couple of my scavvies in the 100 club but I've done another couple since. The one thats most worth posting is this guy.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dOud1qalouM/VJ8_YS2lRVI/AAAAAAAACZA/9fa7zCajUgU/s640/blogger-image--1072494201.jpg)
He is one of the original Confrontation figures from donkeys back. They came with plastic arms but I've always hated them so i thought i'd attempt to sculpt some better ones.
I started off with a gun that already had some hands sculpted on, which saves me some hassle, and made soem armatures from wire.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ygea_t2Ux-c/VJ8_k5FlcBI/AAAAAAAACZg/lO4bABcjBfQ/s640/blogger-image--368065133.jpg)
A couple of sessions of greenstuffing later and he had some raggedy arms to match his raggedy clothes, along with his three mates
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hDeJU8Wjqp0/VJ8_eXrn0AI/AAAAAAAACZQ/KzkR-szRauU/s640/blogger-image-1791861635.jpg)
And here he is with his scavvy mates

In addition to this, Antipixi came round last night and we had a game of RT. The full report can be found http://theleadpile.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/christmas-is-saved-rogue-trader-battle.html
but here are some pics to whet your appetite

That's about as perfect as it gets. :D
Love the work on the scavvies too. They really look the part. Are you going to give Confrontation a try?
-
Will do in the future but we have already had a game at BOYL during the summer, we simplified it a little but in future we'll be trying to play it as close to the original game as we can. It works pretty well.
-
Brilliant. I'm kit bashing a clan gang (inbetween everything else) with the intent of getting a few games of confrontation. I was a big fan in the day, its demise even prompting me to write my only 'but why?' letter to GW. lol
-
Great stuff!
-
Read the AAR and loved it (is that a 40k santa?). your terrain was awesome, i especialy liked "Morks Bar" lol :D :) ;D
-
These guys look great! While I like plastic, I really enjoy painting metal figures... there is something about how they're sculpted that I just like better... BWT, where is your terrain from?
-
Thanks guys, the buildings are mostly home made, you can see me building them here http://theleadpile.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/a-hive-of-scum-and-villainy.html

Splendid! Lovely and characterful bunch, old school is the best!

The first three Doctors, painted for one of my best mates who's had these mini's sitting about unpainted probably since they were released.

Lovely work. The checked trousers have turned out particularly well.

Very nice indeed :)
