Throwback - Mongoose Judge Dredd Models

Continuing the inventory of all my painted models.

This is the collection of Judge Dredd Models from the Mongoose game range. I painted most of these 3-4 years ago, so the paint job can be a bit off.

The Mongoose models were a bit hit and miss with some of the sculpts being a bit meh, but they were what we could get so it was good enough.

Throwback - Inquisitorial Retinue

Continuing the plan of documenting my old models.

Back in 2000 or 2001, whenever either the Inquisitor game or the 40K Witchhunters Codex was released (i think Witchhunters), the local GW had a painting comp to do a retinue. i did not have money for the new range so kitbashed my own. I wont it with this retinue.

WIPTW - First proper update of the year 2020 #1

Sticking with the plan i set out for the year, here is the first proper update.

So i will probably do the images for this post over the week, as it takes ages to edit the pics.

This is the compilation of all the models so far this year (well since Christmas break). Means i have a head start on the year. Most weeks wont be this exciting, especially once i am back to work fully in a couple of weeks (though i am doing some work anyway, even did an impromptu meeting at wargaming yesterday).

Throwback - Frostgrave Warband

In an effort to have a record of all of what i have done (for viewers and for evidence in case the house burns down), i am working back through my models and uploading them. I figured i would do this in themes.

So for this first post, lets look at my Frostgrave Warband.

What I Painted 14/09/2019

So my plan got a bit derailed since last time, i was busy with work and getting ready for baby number 2. And then Baby number 2 arrived 4 weeks early on the 28th. Keira (is her name), spent the first two weeks in NICU with her mum so i was full time dad with my other daughter Mia, so painting was low. But i actually got a bit done when the nanny had her and when she slept and i was not at the hospital.

What I painted this 'week' - 18/8/19

Trying to keep track of what i painted each week, so i dont forget and its easier to take small batches of photos than lots at once. Reality is it wont be weekly, and this post is for what i finished last week, but this week is the post. essentially everytime i post i want to post what i have finished since last time.

I am only posting whats finished, so sometimes it looks like heaps as i finished off lots of small things that were 90% done. and we will definitely go through phases as i work on different games.

Shipping Containers

Shipping Containers

I got inspired by watching the Black Magic Craft video on making Shipping containers and remembered the ones i built over 10 years ago.

I had realised you never really want just 1 container and i always wanted to play a game that was set in that awesome scene in Batman begins when he is taking down bad buys in the container yard.

So i decided to make my own. now back then my ex wife and I ran a painting studio (well she did the painting) and we also sold resin bases - business was Ironhalo Painting. the business is defunct now, but i have all the molds and originals if i ever need anything.

Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago - The Monsters

And now on to the monsters. I had bought some specifically, i had some older bones models and during our campaign Bones 4 arrived, so i had a lot to paint. i also picked up models as we needed them, and from Northstar - the official models. it also gave me motivation to finish some half done models i had sitting there waiting.

the good news was that during the campaign, Citadel contrast was released, which made a massive difference, and i was able to blitz out a lot of models, probably painting more than 40 models in the 2 months after contrast came out, as compared to about 30 in the 4-5 months previously.

I also painted a lot of terrain, and heaps of the Mantic Terrain Crate stuff which i will post later.

so here we go, a lot of photos to come.

Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago - the Warband

Its been a while since I have posted but i have not been idle. We have been playing Killteam a lot this year, and then around Easter (i think) decided to finally get into Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago.

We had played original Frostgrave before, but with Richard rejoining the club, it was a good opportunity to get some new games going. the good thing about FGA is that you dont typically need many models although i ended up painting close to 70 and a bunch of terrain. I will post the full pics over the coming weeks.

Below are the photos of my crew and Heritor, and the next post will be the monsters. as part of my new philosophy on painting, i want to paint the characters very well, but the main focus is to get things finished, so not be as thorough on lesser models, as i have a massive backlog and play many games.
