Painting updated - many unknown brands painted :-)

As life event forced me to take a long rest, I used this opportunity to paint some miniatures. This was also a time where I discovered models I had completely forgot about.

Here are some of the latest addition to my pile of painted models.

First of all, a 3D printed miniature of Deux, a leprechaun for the game Agone. Deux (means Two in French) is a wildness dweller and has a limited understanding of clothing. One of the particularity of Deux is to travel with a small bag containing 2 unused underwears and being very particular that everybody should have 2 underwear available, just in case.



Next is an evil master for Weird World War 2


Next are some commanders from Games Workshop. Painted with Navy colors in mind, they can be used for objectives or any story. The miniature in the middle is supposed to be a tank commander, so it had no legs. I added legs from spare WW2 Russian miniatures I had.



For my birthday I received from my friends GW terrain

Mantic gave casualties in their dwarf armies. I had limited use for them, but I found they looked perfect as tomb markers.

And 2 additional dwarves got painted to join the army I painted earlier. One of them look like a junior chief, ready to split some heads in 2.


Next some unknown miniatures, where I have no idea where I bought them and when. They look like the Bugs Bunny Martian.

Moving on, Prince August Tribes of Terra, the Templar horde. I broke one of them at the foot level, so instead of 4, there are 3. Perfect the day I play some fallout or post apo type of game.


Another unknown. An android looking killer. Faceless and deadly.
The silver of her face did not really render good on the picture though.

During the Easter vacation I outsourced 2 viridian miniatures (Urban Mammoth) to the kids.
My son went for a camo based sniper.


My daughter went for a commander and very neat painting.


A Void miniature, before it became Urban War. A big sword, likely to compensate for a small brain.


Last, some Westwind Night Ranger, from their Road Kill range, Nice models with a decent level of details.

Misc miniatures- painting

 Sometimes, you paint miniatures without a project in mind. You're visiting a city or a website and you see an unusual miniature and tell yourself it would be a great idea or fun to paint.

This is their stories.

The first one is a CPModel, Plague Doctor

The next miniature is a Pit Beast, from Urban Mammoth. From the Gladiator faction.

Here comes the Sumo gang

 The beauty in confinement is that you start taking to much time looking at your miniatures and sometimes, talking to them.

I'd say, in rare occasion, they reply back, but usually after glasses of whisky (to drink with moderation of course).

I had a group of Urban War triad sumo telling me it should be great to be painted. And I agreed.

They came in a single VHS box, with 6 of them. 

One of the club guy (tetsubo) was coming in double. I cut the hand and replaced it with an ork axe I had in my bits box.

Une figurine pour Emie. A miniature for Emie

kindness has no border.
La gentillesse n'a pas de frontière.
Emie, even here in Hong Kong we heard of you.
Emie, même ici à Hong Kong, nous avons entendu parlé de toi.
Of course, here, we see you Emie as a fearless girl, facing her sickness onboard your mech.
Bien sûr, vu d'ici, on se représente Emie comme un fille sans peur qui fait face à la maladie à bord de son mécha.

To be honest, for such a task I was helped by my wingwoman, my cuttest painter.
En toute honnêteté, j'ai dû demander de l'aide à ma plus mignonne peintre.

Work in Progress... 
ici, peinture en cours....
Belle réalisation avec une attention au détail de mon aide pinceau. Commentaires donnés pendant la peinture: Je vois Emie comme ayant des cheveux blonds. son pistolet est un peu abîmé parce qu'elle l'a beaucoup utilisé. 

the finished product.
et le résultat final.

Fresh from the bench: Westwind Brotherhood, Viridian, Space Marine and Teutonic knights and using battlesystems

While waiting for Morikun 1,000,000-views competition, I decided to slow down on PUBG and start painting.

I have done a good progress by my standard, by painting the whole Brotherhood gang I planned to use for EoD or Dracula's America.
Brotherhood Boss - Road Kill from Westwind, perfect for any period
EoD Brotherhood - Cool minis, not much needed to trim

The miniatures are very characterful and dynamic
They are all grey beards, because they have nothing to lose
 Long time ago, while trying to revive my Space Crusade board, I bought a Space Marine apothecary. I have finally finished him off, and he is ready to join his friends.
I have decided to go for a more crude visual on the armor than the usual space marine
His job is to butcher gene seed, not to be the prettiest of all

The Viridian (here) had a girl pilot, likely because women can do multiple things at the same time. I didn't have the mood in the past to paint her, and she has been painted over the past 12 month.
Finally, here she is.




And here are the Teutons. Perfect for paladin, or any fantasy setting. Cutting the metal base was a pain, and after 1 test, I decided to keep them like this and paint the base darker, as if it is their shadow.




We worked also on structure with the kids, using their units of inquiries at school to make some fallout/necromunda board.
Orlosh settlement with a 1-floor, a 2-floor and a 3-floor building
The Claw Store. Vet store or pelt trader?

If it is fallout, here is the way to the Vault
Any settlement should get their table and chairs for chilling out.
Arm dealer, mandatory
A good weapon is a heavy weapon

We added a tower to help protecting the settlement.
