30k Space Wolves Contemptor

 

Contemptors are just fun to paint. 

Punic Wars Models in Epic Scale.

I've really fallen hard for the Warlord Games Epic scale Punic Wars game. I have the Warlord Games plastics as well as great STLs from Cromarty Forge. At the moment I'm treating them as separate projects. 

DKoK Russ

 It has been a long time since I've painted a russ. This one comes equiped with the DKoK air filtration resin and DKoK commander. 

Death Korps of Krieg Hades Assault Drill

 I reached into my ancient pile of Forgeworld and came out with this. Behold! A drill with a melta gun attached. 

Primearch Lorgar

 I've had this guy sitting around for years, but finally decided to give him some paint. I tried using speedpaints as a pin wash rather than my usual enamels. I think I'll stick to enamels next time, the workability is just much better. 

British Highlanders WIP

I'm really pleased with how these turned out. Normally during painting there is an ugly phase where it just doesn't feel like the model is going to look good. For these guys that phase lasted almost up until the end. The models are old, but the poses are great and characterful. I'm not sure I'll get around to painting the other half of the box, but I just might after seeing these. The next step is grass. That will have to wait until I have another unit ready and queued up. Flocking sucks.

 

Vixtrix War Elephant

 

I'm really enjoying painting all these historical models. They have so much character, which I think offsets the lower quality plastics. GW definitely makes the best kits. It is a shame they never made historical ones. The only problem with my 28mm army is that I bought into the 15mm boxed set from warlord. I'll be painting all of these miniatures again at a smaller scale. I guess that is what happens when you take years to complete a project. 

Victrix Numidians for Hail Caesar

 

Rounding out my Punic wars force is another unit of Numidians. They were more famous for their cavalry, but I'm fond of these heavy infantry models. Shield transfers are from little big man studios.
