I'm not really a fan of the sculpts but your painting is excellent, good work.

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm quite happy with the armour. The trick was to use Ratling Grime Contrast as shading, it has a nice brown tone and works well for this type of armour.
And for the sculpt...he is about the size of a trooper model, but then very wide and on a 40mm base. So it's like somebody bonked him hard and now he is half the size he should be. The new Stalkers from the Kickstarter (https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/861/944/1ccc5d4b62f6f2dd41ccd884c5f3fb38_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1683473302&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=2df3f57fe315f1be26b1a720ef987d0c) are so much better and reflect their monstrous prowess perfectly. Can't wait to paint these!

Some years ago I won several sets of the cathedral scenery in a contest by Archon, awesome plastic scenery! I assembled it quickly, but the project stalled during painting. But I now I pushed on and finally finished the painting and adding tons of moss, turf, grass and vines to it to give it a nice jungle feeling. It will be great scenery to use in Warzone Eternal (Venusian jungle!) or in my dark fantasy games.

That's all the shades of awesome!

And the money shots are simply awesome. You've amassed quite the horde by now.

How many minis go into a typical game of Warzone anyway? I was always under the impression it was a bit like 40K 3rd in respect to scope?

[DalyDR]

That's some excellent scenery, nice work.

[Malebolgia]

Cheers lads!!

Eternal will start as a skirmish game, so probably with 10-15 models a side. About 2 leaders, some specialists and the rest you fill up with the soldiers from the various famous unit types. So a bit like Infinity or Deadzone in scope. It's played on a 3'x3' and plays in 60-90 minutes. Excellent as a starting point for the new version of Warzone. Rez Nova wants to scale it up later (with things like Biogiants or Grizzlies), but this will require a solid start with enough players and also a altered rules set to make sure larger games will play smoothly too.

Stunning! It all looks incredible 

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

[Malebolgia]

Thanks guys!
And the preparation for Warzone Eternal continues...now with some scatter scenery. I'll also use it for Deadzone. It's a mix of Deadzone scenery and pieces from Fenris Games.

Great stuff; that should prove pretty versatile in deed.

I really like the colourshifting lights on the gun

Cheers! And fluorescent paints are excellent for such lights or when doing OSL. Love the stuff!

Sir, this is beautiful and very inspirational.

I think I complimented your work somewhere else, but one time is not enough, even if it require necroposting

[Malebolgia]

Thanks man! Also for bringing this topic back, so I can repair the links from my old webspace.
And I think we've 'met' on Facebook, I've seen your insanely gorgeous stuff there.

[Basementboy]

Only just discovered this thread, so much gorgeous stuff on here! Who else is getting Bolt Thrower playing in their head seeing those sculpts?

[hubbabubba]

Wah, hadn't seen that cathedral terrain, that's beautiful, and it looks very playable. The scatter looks nice too, good jorrrrrrrrb.
