[Malebolgia]

WOW! This topic is full of epic paintjobs and pictures. More!

[sundayhero]

These dwarfs are  really great  ! Please post more pics of other armies if available !

[DeafNala]

COOL STUFF! The figures of various types are FANTASTIC, but, with paint jobs as BEAUTIFUL as these, even minis of a lesser quality would look WONDERFUL.

Very colourful and nice, these miniatures of yours. It's a pity they don't produce them anymore, I would have like to put my hands on many references.

Hi!

Absolutely amazing work on those sculpts! Chronopia is a fantastic setting and the game, races and miniatures range that went with them deserve to be kept alive and you're doing a fine job doing so with all these beautiful paintjobs!

What are these guys called? They are bitchin' way cool! 

[Barganrecon]

Those are ogre elite guard. they where sculpted by a talented Italian sculptor named Francesco. He has an online store called Ghamak.com but currently it is being redone. You can also get these from his Ebay store as well. Here is a link

As you can see he did make some changes to the models since the picture in the Ebay store was taken and they are made of Resin.

Are the trolls some proxies, or late official models ? I think they are better than the original one I know.

Great work on all the figures. You really make the chronopia range shine !

[Barganrecon]

They are unofficial 3rd party models once again from Ghamak. They are very well done and very large. Here is a picture of the Trolls and Ogres together.

Here is a picture for scale.




As for the painting they are quit spectacular and as much as I would like to take credit these where painted by a friend of mine who does contract painting an if you ever need figures painted he is worth the cost and great to work with. Between him and I we will be painting up the entire line of Chronopia figures.

these are spot on  I'm slowly building a  similiar "complete" Collection,only with Warzone Minis 

[sundayhero]

Wow, really nice Warzone army too  !  

Your 2 armies are really well painted. I also have tons (litteraly) of warzone v1 minis, and a few incomplete Chronopia warbands (devouts and stygian),  waiting for some paint !


Concerning the warzone army, do you have any detailed pics somewhere ? Especially the v1 necromutants


edit : concerning chronopia, I just saw the orcs on this pic :




the trolls are really huge  , since the chronopia orcs are already quite tall !

[Barganrecon]

Yes the size is actually a correct scale for what they should have been. The line as a whole had very interesting figures and with a little love they look outstanding. The fact you can pick them up relatively inexpensive and the rules where great gives them a nice appeal.

The same goes for a the Warzone figures I also own/owned a Mishima army. Some people saw a figure over sized with not much detail I saw them a clean design and a canvas for creativity. They really lended themselves well to painting. The new ones look really good but I think they have too much detail and went too far for the realistic look.

[sundayhero]

I also prefer "simple" designed figures. Modern 28mm figures (not speaking of a particular brand) often have some kind of "increment" in details and dynamic poses, finally making them look a bit "too much" for my own taste.

It's why in 25-28MM scale, I prefer old school (oldies or "humble" modern ranges) 25 or 28mm figures, usually.

For chronopia, I've got a good warband of stygian figures. Like the point of view Chronopia had with orcs, Stygians are a very original vision of fantasy lizardmen. The only issue is that some individual references became hard to find.

 Oh the memories!
