Chronopia Firstborn Swordmen (Some old pics added)
« on: December 08, 2014, 04:05:58 AM »
Hurray! After 10 years, I finally finished ONE unit of Chronopia's Firstborn Swordmen!  lol








We are being surrounded!  o_o


Old stuff
I painted up this Blackblood army 10 years ago.

Fantastic! Seeing these always brings me back to reading the Chronicles magazine and desperately wanting to play Chronopia :)

Chronopia is one of those games that I have only heard of with no idea what it was all about. The minis are BEAUTIFUL with some WONDERFUL brushwork & basing that only makes them more so. It may have taken awhile, but they do look SPLENDID. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks for the kind words!

I forgot to post earlier how great that painting is!!  I've got a match this week, but none of my forces are painted as lovely as those.  I'll try to take some pics anyway.

So glad I got some models from Four A to use as proxies for my Dwarves!

That's another proof that Chronopia or Warzone ranges were underestimated. With a pro painting like you did, the figures are FANTASTIC !

the only "issue" is the fat rounded lip base  :D That's just a matter of personal taste, the basing itself is very well done.

Not to party crash but here are a couple of mine that where finished recently. I have heard mixed reviews on these figures but I think they are awesome painted well.

For Chronopia and Warzone, I like Chronopia more.
Too bad they never get resurrected.

I didn't recognize some of your collection, are they from Chronopia?

Your stuff is fantastic and yes they are all from Chronopia. The green ones are Blood bones and the Red are Vulture Clan. The ones with Hammers are converted Tunnel Fighters that where done by Excelsior. The Red one with the sword and crossbow is from Four A minatures. The rest are standard models. I have some Dark tusk done as well if you want to see them.

I have managed to hunt down most of the lines and will be painting them up for a while.
