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.

Gallic Warriors for Hail Caesar





 I realize that with the epic scale punic wars coming out from Warlord Games, that 28mm might be redundant, but I am so far along in this project I feel like I need to push on through and complete it. I am one warband short of having a Gallic division complete. Then I only have seven more to go. Ok, so maybe I am not that close after all.

Victrix Gallic Cavalry for Hail Caesar




 I bought into 28mm Punic wars before the epic scale was announced, so these will eventually be repeated at a smaller scale. One thing the larger scale provides is excellent shield transfers. These are from Little Big Man, and are excellent. They make the model. I'm not sure the paint job even matters with shields this cool.
