Finally I managed to base some miniatures that were painted already a few months ago. These will appear in future skirmish to full scale battles inspired by both Greek mythology and the Warhammer universe. Read the full story (so far) on my blog. Visitors and comments always welcome!

No more yackety-yak, just the pics for you:

Humble beginnings of a herd

Gortyr (right) and his bodyguard

Beastmen Braves

Lesser Sartyrs

Lovely 'old school' Perry sculpts, many more to come.

I really like the bodyguard... who makes him?

Thanks everyone.

The bodyguard is one of the Bestigors from GW's Mordheim range.

These skin & hair, they are perfect !
But strangely, it's the bronze effect I like the least...

Really beautifully paint minis! I especially like the bronze shields, great stuff!

Great work Mad Doc. I really like that Bodyguard.

Wonderful face on that mini. I've always considered getting some Foundry Greeks and doing some sort of Harryhausen type adventures. This makes it even that much more motivating.

What's the trick to your bronze painting? It's turned out perfect.

Some beautiful bestmen! Love them! The shield's are extremely great.

Now that's the ticket

Many thanks, dear fellows.

bc99, there's really no trick. For convenience, here's my recipe: I cover the shield surface with Foundry Burning Gold 44A (a copper tone), then I apply Vallejo Sepia Shade Wash (a dark brown). After that I paint in patches of Foundry Teal Blue 24A (any turquoise will do) and mix in some liquid white to represent areas, where the verdigis is still 'growing' (especially in cracks and scratches). Finally, I add dots of Foundry Burning Gold 44B (bright gold) so that it looks like metal that has been hammered onto the wooden shield corpus. Hope that helps.

Great painting.A very nice collection of miniatures.The shields are amazing.

When I saw the title I thought the subject was going to be the Gor fantasy books.

Bloody lovely but where is Tarl Cabot?

I was expecting naked slave girls from the title.

Shields are excellant. They're all excellant.

They're wonderful, but those bronze shields.
