A fistful of 15mm cowboys and girls ready for action
I experimented with the usually overly strong GW "Orc flesh" Contrast paint by mixing it with Contrast medium (after a light tone wash). The weakened contrast paint was excellent and I'll be trying it again with some of the other super-saturated colours in the future.
Having recently purchased Two hour Waragmaes\ Rebel Minis "5150 Company Commander - Total War" I found myself in need of a second 15mm army.
A trio of extra characters. On the left is a figure from the Stargrave sprues. The head had reminded me of Duke Nukem so I tried my best to copy the style. A bit small alongside to the more heroic JD figures but fine.
The other two figures are from the Judge Dredd Ganger Heroes box set, with a big thug and a heavy gunner. Excellently themed sculpts as ever.
It may have been more than a couple of months since the last post but there has been some painting at least going on in the background. This batch are all for Mega City One (amongst others)
First up are some Fatties, bought from an Etsy store (sculpted by Papsikels). The set has 11 figures in it, 7 all wearing these jumpsuits and 4 who are dressed as clowns. These last 4 still need to be coloured, but the main gang is done. The colour scheme is a vague nod to the outfit worn by Arnie in "The Running Man". A great addition to flesh out the Fatties gang, which lacks numbers of different sculpts.
Sitting alongside my paint area I've had a few Alternative Armies 15mm adventurers. They've not been concentrated on until near completion, but whilst I've been waiting for paint to dry on the main projects I've been dabbing spare paint onto them to try and bring them forward. Well it must have worked as they are finished!
Not the most complicated paint scheme in the world, but any finished warband is worth celebrating!
Ral Partha Europe Demonworld\Blighthaven Skeleton Warband for the main part. I've given them a masked Necromantic leader from the Necromantic Southern Death Cult pack. He's in tatters as by the OLD Warhammer Fantasy RPG describes Necromancers as hiding away to practice their art and becoming affected by their studies. So the mask to hide his disfigurements is perfect.
