Dragon Ogre

A few photos of a really classic model here. I love the way he is stalking forward, his massive axe raised. At any moment he is about to start sweeping it from side-to-side, cutting down lesser creatures like corn. It’s no wonder this would cause fear in creatures under 10′ tall.

Zoat with multi-melta

Next week I’ll be meeting up with some Oldhammerers at Warhammer World for a bit of Rogue Trader skirmish. Nothing says Rogue Trader like a zoat (well, maybe slann), so I’ve dusted this one off and cleaned up a few details. Along with some Eldar renegades, he’ll be taking the field against whatever the 41st […]

Basing technique evolution

I’ve been going back through the collection to find things of interest to photograph, and I thought I would quickly document the changes in my basing technique. Pretty much all my fantasy models are based like one of the samples below.

Evolving basing technique

Technique 1 (1986-1987) – On the far left we have […]

Cultist sculpt – WIP

I have been sculpting a set of cultists, and here is the latest. He is getting very near complete. A little more work on the feet, and a few details – I’ve been thinking about giving him a set of throwing knives attached to his belt at the back. He has been made on an […]

Fairy for the forum challenge

The Oldhammer forum is having a challenge where people have to post a newly painted model of a type that they have never painted before.

I had to think quite hard to come up with something that I hadn’t painted before (and I had a model for). I got this fairy as one of the […]

DBA I/52b Early Hoplite Spartan Army

About 5 years ago I fancied trying out De Bellis Antiquitatis. This is normally played with 15mm models on 40mm wide bases, but these seemed a bit small, and many of the manufacturers sculpt in a style which is too ‘blobby’ for my test – oversized heads, thick limbs etc. In addition I was impressed […]

Dragonborn and Tiefling

Quite enjoyed a bit of D&D a few years ago. Really liked the combat under 4th edition, and wanted a few figures for that, but struggled to find some types so resolved to covert a couple. The pre-painted plastics are really good for gaming, because they can be carted about easily without getting damage, but […]

Foundry Vampire – 1st for 2015

Wargames Foundry Vampire

Just finished the first model of 2015. This is a vampire from Foundry. The purple robe came out a bit lilac at first – so not very sinister, so I gave it a dark wash to tone it down and redid the shading. Great model, I like the hunchback and the strange […]

Shambling in the moonlight

I’ve been experimenting with my brand new camera. The flash didn’t go off for this one, but what it lost in clarity, it gained in atmosphere. Imagine peering out of the window one frosty night and seeing this lot shambling towards you.

Mutated Minotaur Lord

This is an unconverted 80s minotaur lord, which I painted a few years ago. I used not to like the model very much, but after I had worked hard on this one, it’s now one of my favourite minotaurs. One of my favourite bits is the dark bronze metal, which if I remember correctly is […]
