Oldskool Warzone Dark (Sept. 22 '25: Shadow Walker)

Fantastic painting

Great job on these, I love old school sculpts painted to modern standards.

You’ve given these old lovelies a new lease of life.  Look forward to seeing pics of games.

New Warzone Kickstarter...new paintjobs! This time a Necromutant with Tormentor Flamer and an old Undead Legionaire with Plasma Carbine (old Mutant Chronicles miniature). Fantastic models to paint, the sculpts are so absurdly oldschool it makes me happy every time I paint one. The Necromuant is in my collection for almost 25 years, how cool to finally paint it. And of course, the colours were inspired by Paul Bonner's art.







Probably doing more Warzone the coming time!

[Malebolgia]

And since the Praetorian Stalkers were unlocked I just had to paint one of them! This time one from Prodos, I think they did a perfect job of translating Bonner's art to resin. Such a perfect model.

More great work! The metals of the armour are particularly nice

You're amassing quite the amount of Dark Symmetry forces. Are you trying to tell Humanity something? 

[Malebolgia]

Cheers man! And I am really enjoying painting the metals, a lot of fun to got some texture on them. And of course humanity is screwed...

And a new day, a new model! Now another Legionaire, also inspired by Bonner.

[Malebolgia]

MOAR ZOMBIES! Or in other words, three more Undead Legionnaires. All three super old models and I think for about 25 years in my collection. And all three were really cool to paint! Of course totally inspired by Paul Bonner's art, so I followed his ideas. And took photos, using my new Green Stuff World Maxx Darth photo backdrop. Apparently it absorbs 99.9% of the light, giving a pure black background. And DAMN, it absolutely does. I only had to use Photoshop to get rid of some dust specks.










Next up will be 2 Centurions.

Great work again on those posessed, undead, alien and whatelsenot baddies!

And going full black will also eliminate any shadow problems 😁

Nice work , both painting & pics.
It does bring back memories .
My personal favourite warzone minis are those
which were sculpted by Werner Klocke.

That black background looks great .
Did you take the photos with
a mob phone or a Dslr?

More Dark Legion...this time the Centurions. With their infamous red+yellow camo pants. Great models to paint, as always!









Next up another Praetorian Stalker!

[Malebolgia]

And the final model I paint during the Kickstarter...a second edition Praetorian Stalker. Maybe a bit derpy sculpt and too small, but still cool to paint.
That makes 10 models done during the Kickstarter project, great additions to my force. I can't wait for the new models to arrive (Mishima!) and to paint them to face off against each other.

[Daeothar]

Very nice, as we've come to expect actually

I especially like the slightly warm tones of the metal armour.

And to be honest, being also a fan of nineties miniatures, I don't find the sculpt to be particular derpy. Or your photography skills are just truly excellent and you know how to bring out the best in your subjects of course
