Hetz's Irregulars - lotsa pics!

[hetz]

Inspired by Erny I thought I'd post some of my old minis. Painted ones first, then I may post unpainted ones for a look at a bit of my lead mountain - North Face only atm

Dark Elves - fastest paint job I ever did - these were for the Frothers Salute game a few years back.


Mengil's Marauders, painted at 3.30am in about 2 hours I'd like to finish these someday - well the whole army really.


Some Cold One cavalry, Marauder Cold ones behind.


Dwarves now

20 more to do...


Marauder Ironbreakers led by da Baron!  I need a few more of these shields if anyone has any


20 warriors led by King Gorrin


Orcs

I've actually done 25 of these now - 35 more archers to go 


Snortas 5 done, 5 to do. Then there's 12 gruntas...

Boss Hawg 






A few mercenaries

[Thantsants]

Lovely stuff - particularly liking those snortas!

The dwarf pikemen remind me of a dwarf army painted by Wayne England that featured in White Dwarf many moons ago - do like the marauder pike dwarves... 'cos they come with their own skewers! 

Keep getting tempted by the old Dark Elves - must resist....

[Erny]

Super stuff very impressed.

I wavered on the whole blue skin thing for my own Dark Elves but went conservative in the end. Looks great though.

The dwarfs rock and the orcs are awesome! Looking forward to the next installment.

[Lowtardog]

Nice work young Hetz me lad

[phreedh]

Awesome stuff! What's that ogre monstrosity with the teeth galore? I like him! =) Horrible proportions with the sword, but he's got a face you just got to love! =D

[hetz]

Cheers Hopefully I will keep painting, been flagging a bit this weekend after wrecking an ace mini

Big Daft Ballugathon from Foundry. I call him the Big Daft Bellend cos he's got a bell on his end    Got a couple more from the range mixed in with a couple of Marauder Ogres for my Dwarf mercs.

In all their mostly unpainted ugliness Had to post this as some don't appear to be on Foundry's site any more.

Bellend is there tho

Hetz, how do you paint your orc skin (how and what paints).
I am have a horrid time finding a color/combo i like.
Thanks

I use Vallejo Model Colour. Spray undercoat black, basecoat VMC Medium olive mixed with VMC Black. Mid coat VMC Med Olive. Hilight VMC Med Olive mixed with VMC Lime Green, up to just Lime Green.

Pretty quick after the first dozen or so... 

[Erny]

To quote the phrase of the moment, they do pop. I'm doing my current boar boys a mix of greens but trying to go for the greater contrast between highlight and shade like you have here. I'm loving Harboths boys.

I love the dwarves. The foundry ogres are cool too. I really would like to get some some day for Strange Grogge (fantasy pirate nonsense!).

[Argonor]

I think I have a bunch of those axe-shields somewhere

Marauder Ironbreakers led by da Baron!  I need a few more of these shields if anyone has any

[Tomsche]

I especcially like the (very classic) Dark Elves in a `true` Drow colourscheme (blueish skin etc).  Now paint those orcs brown 

Nice job, I wish I could still gather the motivation to paint whole armies the same uniform colours.

  Yes please Argo! I need eight, let me know what you'd like for them.

I've started doing my Dark Elves grey now  They look similar once they've been highlighted up though. A lot of the Dark Elves pictured just got a quick hilight. They were supposed to look very pale with blue shadows in the skin...
Some of my goblins will be brown, yellow, green and mebbe even blue  Inbreeding little gits.

[Argonor]

Yes please Argo! I need eight, let me know what you'd like for them.

I'll see what I can dig out - I only have a faint idea where they might be. I'll ransack the basement friday or saturday - so if you haven't heard from me sunday, poke me with a PM (I tend to be absent minded).

[hetz]

Cheers for the shields Argonor, still gotta paint em

Just done a quickie pj on Marauder Ironbreakers



Banner is a quickie too, I'm intending to do a purtier one later. Awaiting a musician to finish the unit, Hammerers next, then I'll finish some boar riders.
