Showcase: Crimean War Highlanders.

 

Heyhey, look, it's even more Highlanders! Again, without bases. Some of the people I paint figures for prefer to do the basing themselves. Either way, painting these here I learned something about 19th century Highlanders: People seem to be overly concerned with painting kilts for some reason. Those are pretty easy actually. It's those bloody socks and the things at the front of the bearskins you should be afraid of! 

But anyway, once all that's done, they make for a magnificent view, don't they. 

Hope you like them! Next figures I post will come with bases again, I promise. ;-)

Showcase: Sister Hospitaller

 

Heyhey, it's time for some Warhammer 40,000 again.. Here's the Sister Hospitaller, who - if I remember correctly - was at the start of the interesting release rhythm of the new plastic Sisters of Battle.

Showcase: 1940 Highlanders

 

Heyhey, here's some figures I meant to post for a while. It's a collection of very, very pretty Highlanders for the dawn of WW2 or for WW1.

These are 28mm figures by Pulp Figures and they are excellent. Lovely sculpts, flawless casts. The only thing I regret is having taken that photo before I fully finished the bagpipes. They aren't 100% historically accurate for the time (kilts!), but they make up for that with character.

Hope you like them!

Showcase. The Amazing Spider-Man

  

Heyhey, a while ago I started painting a bunch of figures for Marvel:Crisis Protocol for a gentleman from 'round here. Starting with The Amazing Spider-Man.

Showcase: Napoleonic Russians Group Shots

 

Heyhey, that's the inevitable group shots!

Showcase: Reikland Reavers Team Shots. Plus Markers!

 

Heyhey, it's been a long time coming, but here the full team's finally together. And they brought their markers too!

Showcase: Tsar Alexander I.

 

Heyhey, hre's the man himself - Alexander I. Pawlowitsch Romanow, Tsar of Russia, king of Poland (for a while), grad duke of Finland, Lord of Jever (twice!).

Showcase: Reikland Reavers Characters

 

Heyhey, here's some lovely Forgeworld characters for the Reikland Reavers.

It's a lovable band of misfits, and fan favourites throughout: Helmut Wulf, Griff Oberwald, Morg'n'Thorg, The Mighty Zug & Karla von Kill.

A good bunch. :) Sadly this Griff Oberwald isn't available any more due to the release of the GW one. I'd give painting the new one a go though; he looks pretty impressive. 

Showcase: Siberia Grenadier Regiment

 

Heyhey, last week I showed you the very dapper and orderly-advancing Pavlov Grenadiers, this week we got the Siberia Grenadiers, who I painted as a sister regiment.

As you can see, the presentation is quite different. They're all in 'action poses', and got an officer on horseback amidst the line. Much less 'parade ground', much more dynamism there, including dirt and a casualty, calling out to his comrades.

The figures are by the Perrys this time. Hope you like them!
