One thing I do love about Rattraps games....No more painting armies!! Just a handful of models and I have a playable force, ah bliss....
This latest is for Gloire, Captain Robert "Sink Like A Stone" Crookshank and friends.

:o Fantastic work. I love the details like the striped halberd staff.
-
Beautiful! Especially the book! :)
-
Muddypaw - we shall expect to see you in the next season of the Lead Painter's League! ;)
Not my thang, but lovely work just the same.

Beautiful brushmanship, the reds are stunning.

Thanks for the comments!
I didnt realized there was a competition on this forum till after joining, I might have a bash at the next one, though it has been a frighteningly long time since my last competitive effort.
I took a look at the quality of some of the entries-Stunning stuff!
The book by the way has cannon range charts on the page you cant see. Though I dont think I can quite get away with fitting in a cannon into a skirmish game, well, that is apart from the one being carried by the ogre :D
The red ties them together nicely I think. I wanted a uniform look without a uniform, if that makese sense.

You'd be amazed at what Pete can work into a game of Gloire for a special situation. I actually had some special rules for a canon run by skeletal pirates. However, it being ancient and well rusted, on a roll of 1 it exploded. And wouldn't you know it, the first time I went to use it, I rolled a 1. Blew my bony crew back to kingdom come. lol
Excellent paint work (just like all the stuff you have been showing off).

Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking of using skeletal types in my swashbuckling games. The "Pirates" movie (let us not speak of the follwing two....shudder) is damn fine inspiration. Oh and I do believe Pratchett's law states that a 1 will come up 9 times out of 10 ;D

Superb painting :o
They will make fine additions to a motley crew!

Lovely paint jobs on some fine, venerable figures. Love the sculpting of the old Warhammer Imperials (and their Renaissance Ogres) - something I can't say about the more recent Warhammer sculpts.

Excellent work :-* :-*
I particularly like the scroll work on the halberd blade 8)
cheers

Nothing wrong with celebrating lovely paintwork in old threads, but that has to be one of the most epic acts of threadomancy ever, Herr Metternich! Six years! o_o lol
Are you ploughing through the entire LAF back-catalogue? ;)

Ah bugger, didn't see that ::)
cheers
