Craftfeld sends in his first entry ever, which coincidences nicely with rumours of historical wargaming being on the increase. Perry Miniatures are producing some really nice pieces in this field and people are noticing. But really, I'm giving it pride of place because the model is sporting impressive sideburns and a sneering pompous look. He's also done some great terrain work which can see on his blog over in the side bar but for the lazy, check
here.
Werewolf (Empire of the Dead)
The second entry comes in from
Quozl. It's a Hasslefree werewolf and it's clearly intended for his Empire of the Dead skirmish band. For anyone interested in playing what appears to be an excellent Steampunk/Necromunda/Mordheim/League of Gentlemen blend, a battle report and the man himself can be found
here. Not really a lot to be said here about the model, a eye-grabbing figurine, it's monochrome with a good example of a very clean white.
From clean to pure filthy. This comes from
Lowry and forms part of his ongoing 40K Nurgle project which can be seen in all its glory
here. The beetle effect on the boots is something I've never noticed before and credit to the sculptor, it's subtle but fitting.
The man himself
seems to able to excel at whatever he turns his hand to, at this point, even if he's reverted to not basing his models. Bad Lowry. Excellent painting with a nice dirty green/brown effect, most visible on the left shoulder pad.
Ork Blitzer (Blood Bowl)
Newbreed has been hard at work at North Vietnamese themed Blood Bowl team. He's cursing the communist predeliction for stars. For any aspiring revolutionaries out there, please go with random blobs for your iconography and save me a world of pain. Free hand painting stars on curved armour is breaking my heart.
Fallschirmjager Company (Flames of War)
Check it. A full fallschirmjager company. I worry a little that I can now spell that word from memory. These are the work of
Nosediver and display his unholy combination of speed painting and attention to detail. But more importantly, please, please tell me that someone else sees the micro-sized, vaguely terrifying child (doll?) in the top right of the picture.
