Last part of the Star Wars lot painted

These are the last figures I had to paint for Max, the rest of the starter set will be painted by himself and Doyle, so my job is done.

I didn't mind painting them they are nice figures, if a little on the big side for my taste.

The storm trooper was an experiment, the idea was to spray paint it with a gloss white and then use Tamyia panel liner for the shadows, but the spray can I used was probably bad because it didn't dry properly and the paint re-activated when in contact with the panel liner, so I ended up sealing it with matt varnish and then highlighting it with white paint, not a great result, but I salvaged it decently.

Star Wars legion part 2

The second part of the Star Wars commission is done, I only have a few more models to complete the whole commission.

Star Wars Legion

 Recently Max bought a starter set of Star Wars Legion with a few extra figures. We tried the game once and it seems to be pretty good, so we might play that for a while, all the younger players are big Star Wars fans, so they enjoyed the game for that reason too.

I agreed to paint a few models to start, the characters and vehicles, the others should take care of the troops.

These are the first two models painted.

More RPG models

 This week we have a PC and a few monsters I painted for one of my D&D players.

RPG models

 This week a couple of simple RPG models.

The goblin was an experiment, I wanted to make sure I could safely use Army Painter Quick Shade on Reaper Bones figures, the answer is: yes.

This means I can get unimportant figures done quickly and cheaply.

A couple of dragons

 This week we have a pair of dragons, one is a Reaper Bones cristal dragon, the other one a huge red dragon from Wizkidz.

Some D&D monsters

 This week I have a bunch of D&D monsters I painted for members of my gaming group.

Cyrus had a box of 40K Fenrisian wolves kicking around that I was trying to convince him to paint, I ended up assembling them for him as an incentive, but I still had no luck in convincing him to do any painting, so I asked him if I could paint them, he hesitate for about 5 seconds and then told me to go ahead.

Since these models are absolutely gigantic, I decided that they would be used as chaos hounds or specific variants of wolf monsters for D&S, so two ended up being painted with a normal brown fur, two as winter wolves and one as a Hellhound/Fleshhound of Khorne.

I also painted a bronze dragon for Doyle, it might be useful in our current D&D campaign, we will see.

World War II German armour

 This is a trio of German World War II armoured vehicles I recently painted for Dave, a Hetzer and two half tracks.

I used an airbrush for the base coat, then an oil wash and details, a simple, but effective, paint job.

Champion of Nurgle on Palanquin/Campione di Nurgle su Palanchino

 This is the last model I needed to paint for Max in order to complete the small Nurgle force we will use for a game in a week or two.

Rummaging in the Reaper Bones set he recently got I found a suitable Nurglesque looking sorcerer type and a few small monsters to hold his Palanquin, overall the looks is pretty accurate, even if the little guys carrying the palanquin are not very Nurgling looking.

Questo e' l'ultimo pezzo che dovevo dipingere per Max per completare il piccolo esercito di Nurgle che useremo per una partita tra ua settimana o due.

Sgattando nel set di Reaper Bones di Max ho trovato uno stregone con un aspetto abbastanza Nurglesco ed alcuni mostri di piccola taglia per trasportare il suo palanchino, nel compless lo stile e' abbastanza corretto, anche se le creature che trasportano il palanchino non assomigliano molto a dei Nurglini.

RPG and Warhammer monsters/Mostri per GDR e Warhammer

 This is a bunch of Reaper Bones monsters that I painted for Max.

Their first call of duty will be to fight in a Warhammer 3rd edition battle in a couple of weeks, we are running a loose Realm of Chaos campaign based on the siege of Praag and the next battle will see the outskirts of the city assaulted by a small contingent of Nurgle followers (2000 pts).

These are stop gap figures since we don't have all the right ones, but I feel using whatever is around that kind of looks right is a very Oldhammer thing to do.

Questo e' un gruppo di mostri della Reaper Bones che ho dipinto per Max.

La loro prima chiamata alle armi sara' in una partita di Warhammer terza edizione che giocheremo tra un paio di settimane, stiamo portando avanti una campagna di Relam of Chaos basata sull'assedio di Praag e la prossima partita sara' un assalto alla periferia della citta' condotto da una piccola forza di Nurgle (2000 punti).

Questi pezzi sono una soluzione di ripiego per sostituire i pezzi "giusti" che ci mancano, ma usare qualunque pezzo disponibile a patto che abbia un aspetto piu' o meno corretto e' uan cosa molto Oldhammer, quindi siamo sulla strada giusta.
