Holiday Break

I'm about to go on vacation, so this is basically my April output:

A necromancer for Age of Sigmar Skirmish/ Warcry. Very pleased with how he turned out!

An AT-RT for Star Wars: Legion. This guy was long overdue but I chickened out doing the LED mod and airbrushing the camo pattern. Finally took my brave pills and did both last week.

March Results

 March turned out to be a pretty great (hobbying) month for me.

Played some great MESBG and Kill Team games,...

... got started with my warbands and some terrain for Warcry...

 ... and got pretty excited about the Clone Wars expansion for Star Wars: Legion.

Grombrindal

Poor Grombrindal sat in a drawer for 15 years but was very happy when he was painted this week.


Initially, I more or less dismissed this Juan Diaz sculpt as I was not into Warhammer anymore when I got the mini as a freebie in German WD 100. Luckily, this has changed again and I was very pleased when I found him among my Warhammer stuff.

"Mini Me, stop humping the laser."

I shall call him "Mini Me".
Two renditions of my favourite Star Wars villain. To the left: Julie Guthrie's sculpt from the 90s, released by Grenadier to be used with WEGs Star Wars - The Roleplaying Game and Star Wars - Miniatures Battles. To the right: Skull Forge Studios' Star Wars - Legion scaled "Cunning Admiral", sculpted by Jordan Cuffie in 2018.

I love them both.

Oldhammer (A)Elves

I rummaged around my parents' attic and dug out some treasure.


These Wood Elf Waywatchers were among the very first metal miniatures I ever bought. Playing Warhammer as a kid was super hard because everything was so expensive, especially those shiny blisters, so I had to find very good reasons for investing that much of my pocketmoney. So picked these fine Gary Morley sculpts to be the souvenir I brought home from a family holiday to Venice in '96 or '97. Cheeky...


The paint job is much younger ('05- or '06-ish) and all I did now was to touch up the rim of the base and give them a fresh coat of varnish. I guess they will do fine next to modern AoS miniatures. Might find some use in AoS Skirmish, Warcry or even as D&D or Frostgrave characters...

Sigmarines Inbound

Watching my daughter painting her Sequitors got me hooked and I bought some more for myself... If the rumors are true and the upcoming Warcry is the AoS version of Kill Team, I want to be ready when it hits the shelves.
