Warhammer Quest Snotlings

I love painting fantasy figures and Green Skins is something I haven't painted in a long long long time.  I must say I loved painting these little pests!  It was also great to use my Goblin Green pot of paint!

Continuing with the theme of basing for Warhammer Quest, I trimmed the extremely boring and ordinary looking pudding bases away and recycled some plastics to create a dungeon/ruins cross over effect.

I actually love the 1990s Citadel Miniatures Monopose era!  Each snotling has an individual paint job.  There are 4 variants of their loincloth and subtle variations in their clubs.

Afghanistan Compound for 20mm Moderns

Adding to my 20mm Modern Warfare project is this 3D printed Afghanistan Compound by 3D Print Terrain.  This was available from one of their many kickstarters or can be purchased on their website.

I will be doing an article for Paint all the Minis that expands on how this compound came to what it is in these photos.  I will put up a link to the article once it is published on their website.

This thing is huge!

Games Workshop Middlehammer Skeleton Kit Bashed Archers

Inspired by Warlords of Erewhon I have revisited my Games Workshop Skeletons. I had a mixture of kits from the original plastics to the more Middlehammer era kits.  Interestingly and to be expected I found the Middlehammer components to have more pronounced mold lines.

This aside, I used a variety of the components to create these archers.  I really like how they turned out.  These are fantastic figures and I love the look of them.  Old school Games Workshop beats their new stuff hands down!

These will be used in a variety of Games systems.

Foundry Downed German Aircrew

I return to one of my favourite subjects, WW2 and 28mm.  Something I haven't painted in a long time!

Its good to knock over some more figures.  This pack is by Foundry Miniatures and is sculpted by the most talented Perry Twins.  They were entered in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge "Fellowship" bonus round.

I am pretty happy with how they turned out.  These can be used for a variety of scenarios in a number of rulesets.

A copy and paste as why I see them as a fellowship...

The miniatures depicted here tell the story of our fellowship's most desperate hour.  They are shotdown, they survived and now they are behind enemy lines.  Are they in a lush field in England? Rural France? or is our fellowship desperately avoiding capture from the Soviets somewhere on the Eastern Front?
