Escher Test Model

I havent had much drive to paint lately, quite a few things going on, but I did manage over the course of several nights, to sit down and paint this converted ganger. The conversion was just a weapon swap, auto pistol for a bolter.
As far as painting goes, my main reason for the test model was to see if I could paint yellow decently enough, and well I think Ive managed it, though the pants need a bit of extra work and maybe her hair....

Mechwarrior Repaints

I picked up a box of Mechwarrior clixies a few months back, and final decided to have a go at painting them. Gravedigger.

Mortis.
Exhumer.
All were from the Undead lance set, and had a terrible blood splattered theme throughout, luckily, undercoating covered that and it was a simple matter of slapping some red and white upon them.

Space pirates







Been a while since I posted anything, but Ive been busy with my house, and painting various miniatures but not seeming to finish anything. I finished basing these Chronoscope figures today and figured I might as well get them up here. Generally nice sculpts, though the girl has massive lips, and the cyborgs fist isnt molded correctly...And they took two months to arrive from Reaper US....

EM4 Merc's


Havent been posting on here for a while due to my computer dieing on me, and having to work extremely long hours 6 days a week.
Anyhow, I placed an order with em4 Miniatures the other week and decided to try out thier range of pre painted mini's...yes I know, pre painted, yuck. But this was the only way to get hold of these sculpts that on the website looked decent enough for the space pirates project I have planned.
For £12 you get five metal (not plastic unlike some companys) Bob Olley mini's and 4 12 sided dice, in a nice window box. The problem with the packaging however is that instead of foam, they use plastic, the crappy soft kind you get when you buy an ipod or something, as a result, the slots werent big enough for two of the miniatures (M16 and radio guy) as a result the thin parts were pretty bent.
The paint jobs themselves werent to bad, much better than say, Heroclixs, but the faces could have used a little work. They also required to be based, though they came with 5 slotta bases. A touch up with some washes and they were ready to go.
All in all, not a bad little set for some ready made henchmen.

New Model Daleks

I think Im one of the few people in the world to like the new look Dalek's. So when the BBC released thier kids Dr.Who magazine (A joke of book, even if it is aimed at kids) with five free plastic Daleks, I snapped them up, 5 miniatures for £2.25, damn right!

I only have the white and yellow Daleks left to paint.

Some More Commissar's



I managed to get hold of these two Rogue Trader era Commissar's (though they have Chaplian on thier tabs) from a fellow (Eastern Barbarian) on the Lead Adventure forum. Im not sure how usable they are with the current rules, as Commissar's cant carry lasguns, though they could work as Overseer's for a Penal squad, hmmm.
I may have to go back and sort out the gray drybrushing on the coats ans they look rather well...crap to be honest.
