Are those all from the Citadel Spacefarer range, Blackwolf?
I remember a few, but not all :)

Spacefarers looks like they're posing for a movie or TV show.. one I want to see!

Wow, great entries you both! The Spacefarers are very cool and have a very definite retro Sci-fi feel about them, lovely! The Trolls look great too and should work really well as chaos trolls in your army, Braxandur, well done!

The Spacefarers are an old Citadel range from the 80s. All on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures WIKI;

Spacefarers 25mm

and a handful of larger scale..............

Spacefarers 54mm

I have some of the 25mm to trade but am looking for the 54mm - the pics on the 54mm are mine so I am looking for 1 and 3.

Firstly; nice work Braxandur :)

Secondly; thanks chaps,thought I'd add some old school plastic to the old minis (that I bought from Dozing Dragon). I had the minis back in the 80s,sold them after I painted them through the Tin Soldier,a shop I once frequented ;) rather a bit in halcyon days....

Thanks Blackwolf! Though compared to your entry I feel like a beginning painter  lol

I must say that those spacefarers are great models. They just ooze character and atmosphere. For me they look way more natural in pose then a lot of the models from nowadays, thought this does not stop me from buying them...

The troll were an experiment in using a bit more vibrant instead of natural colors, which is a normally a bit more my style. I Had to put in additional shading to make sure that they didn't completely look like smurfs  ;D

Still I'm very happy with them and it's great to have another unit finished for my ever growing chaos army :)

That's a nice looking unit, Braxandur. Although the lighting does seem a bit off? A really nice addition to your ever growing chaos army :)

The space adventurers look good. I'd like to see close-ups in the near future. Clever idea on using the space ship in the way, it's looks really convincing!

The Spacefarers image just screams retro to me. The lighting, paint, backdrop, basing and composition make the image look as if it was lifted from the old Tabletop Heroes column from early White Dwarf issues. And that's a compliment by the way…  lol
