Knight

A knight from the MB/Games Workshop boardgame Battle Masters, released in 1992. We never once played the game as far as I remember.







Citadel Paladin


The tab says 'Paladin', but a moment's search shows he was listed as 'Le Marquis de Sword', sculpted by Bob Naismith, Aly Morrison or Jes Goodwin, released in 1986. He seems a bit goofy and awkwardly posed, and his sword is enormously oversized. So typical Citadel.



I really enjoyed painting this model, especially the shiny yellow armour. I had never attempted anything like it before and it took several attempts, including stripping the paint and starting again. More photos:

Practice makes perfect!




Upcoming



I received these models in a parcel from my brother. Looking forward to painting these. The troll is a little daunting though.

Hillbilly





This is a reaper Bones miniature by Bob Ridolfi. His gun was a bit bent, and the flash was difficult to
remove. He started off with a yellow shirt, I quite like the blue one.

I wasn't sure what all his props and accoutrements were at first either but I painted them mostly as bones I think it came out quite well. I enjoyed doing some freehand detail on the blue sash and on the satchel.




This is a WIP shot but you can see the bag detail.


Wizard: Darius the Blue.


Darius the Blue from Reaper. This was a birthday present last year. Painted around August. The name made the choice of main colour quite easy. I went with yellow as a contrasting colour.

Grenadier goblin

  My latest project. A Grenadier goblin from 1985, I think. Not sure how I'll proceed, but I've given him a custom oval base. I'...
