I have Ray...one of the Redoubt Acw wagons but i am on the look out
for one of the GW Mordheim Carnival of chaos ones which I think will
work better.. with less chaos in the paint finish !! What say you!

Pic from Gw webpage..



and he will have a partner soon in the form of the free
partizan spiv figure, selling dodgy stolen goods..!

cheers.

Once you've got rid of all the tentacles and bars it should look great.  :)

Would it not be easier to scratch build the main part onto the back of a Reboubt wagon chasis?

Very nice. I am looking forward to seeing the wagon.  :)  There is one made by Old Glory, which is specifically sold as a snake oil wagon.

I think without the chaos parts these can be a right figure for the wagon.

Very nice work !!

Many thanks folks.. Very pleased with these two.

Great figures full of character and brilliant for getting me back into
painting figures after so many buildings etc..

The bottle was done using GW dark angels green/ goblin green and white
added for progressive highlights.  The rest of the colours are from my new
p3 range which are excellent to use !!

cheers all

Very nice figs from the guy who claims he can't painr figs very well  :wink:

I like the colors you used and your bases look very nice as well.  I have a background in studio art (I'm a painter/illustrator) and what I really like about your figs and many others I see is that they look painted. . . they don't look photo realistic.  In art class we call it "painterly."

So yeah, I really think they are quite loverly, hehe!

That wagon is very very cool. . . forgive my ignorance, but what line does ACW stand for?  I have the Old Glory Snake Oil set oon my fig wishlist. . . maybe I'll pick it up at Fall-In using my friends discount :-P
