A return to an old love: painting Clanwar NEW: Mantis Clan

[bandit86]

Real nice!  I did a few more last night couple of Wizard and Geisha's  Clan wars are really fun to paint some very challenging

Thanks for all your comments they are really welcome  

At first I wondered how much attention this quite old system will get, but should not have been surprised here on LAF  

Here now some units of the second clan painted:

The Crab: The defenders of the wall

The Hida House Guard I did twice, first the grey white pattern which was inspired by an old Clan War poster I found. But this looked surprisingly boring to me   so I decided to do the second unit with some blue and red colors. As I am pretty happy with this color scheme, I have used it for more units.

Wonderful!
A question: where are the arch trees seen in the first picture, from? Is it home made?
Thanks.

[powerfrog99]

Thanks for all your nice comments 

Euthanasor: I don't understand the term "arch tree"?
In the first pic the pine trees are from the German manufacturer "Noch", the Bamboo is a recent pucase and made from 2 colored soft platic and just coated to reduce the shine. The big broadleaf tree I made ages ago from a kit by "Heki" another manufacturer based in Germany.

I hope this answers your question, if not just specify a bit more.

cheers Thomas

[Euthanasor]

Tank you. They are noch models.

Great job! Brings back good memories.
It reminds me that I also have a ton of these to be painted...
