A few poieces of sci-fi terrain

These are a few pieces of sci-fi terrain I recently finished.

The Battletech buildings are made with orange juice bottle caps, I saw some similar ones online somewhere and it seemed such good idea, they took very little work and are very nice.

The pallets are from some note pads that a freight company gave us at work as promotional material, I just stuck some pipes and crates on them and gave them a quick paint job, pretty nice result.

More Warzone goodies

 These are a few more Warzone figures I finished recently.

The Cybertronic Chemiman was disappeared as a unit between the first and second edition of the game, I don't know if it was re-introduced in later editions, but I figured I could make up some rules for it or just use it as a Cuirassier, it is big and intimidating enough to pass for one.

The Sons of Rasputin are a nice faction from the Earth tribes, but I only have 5 models for them, let's hope I can find more in the future.

French Foreign Legion in 1/72 scale

 This is another set from Esci from those that my friend Felé gave me some years ago, it is not complete, but I still got two decent units in different styles of uniform.

These were a lot of fun and gave me an excuse to ready the Osprey book about this famous unit of the French army.

Another project completed

 This is another project I am glad to have completed, it is not big in size, but it was a lot of work.

Samurai are, in my opinion, one of the most time consuming thing to paint, even if these guys are done with quickshade, they still took a long time to paint, and in a bigger scale they would be even worse.

Anyway, I'm happy to have completed them and now I have two small forces to play One Hour Wargame with.

A couple more characters of Slaanesh

 This week I have two more models for the forces of Slaanesh for Warhammer. Our Warhammer warbands campaign just concluded, these were the last two models I needed for the final game, so they skipped the line and got painted.

Another Warzone figure

 This week another small step forward  in the Warzone project. I'm starting with the few loose models I got in my last trip to Sentry box in Calgary. I picked up all the models I didn't previously have that I could find, some of them, like the Lutheran of last Warzone post and the Imperial Head hunter of this post, were the only models I found of that specific faction, so I'm getting them "out of the way", before I start painting the units I will actually be able to use.

I happened to previously have traded a lone head hunter, so the model in this post will be part of the same squad, if I ever find more to add.

Reinforcements for Slaanesh

 I recently painted a few more models for my Slaanesh force to use in our Realms of Chaos campaign.

Last year IlVJ was given a few sprues of Mantic figures that he passed to me, the elves I found really ugly, so I tried to give them to someone to paint, but that person returned them to me since he didn't feel like painting them.

After leaving them in a box for a while, I decided I could use some dark elves for Slaanesh, to add more troops to the forces assaulting the city of Praag in our recent games, so the idea of painting these guys in the simplest possible way struck me and I thought that dark elves in black armour with brightly coloured shields would take no time to paint and look decent as Slaaneshi followers, so I forced myself and got these knocked out as quickly as possible.

The result is decent, as a couple of units they don't look too bad and, considering the very low effort required to get them on the table, they were worth a few nights of painting.

The other entry for this post is a special beastman or mutant of Slaanesh, a mix of spare parts found in my bits box in true old school Chaos style.

New year, new Warzone

 Hello everyone, welcome to the first post of 2024.

It probably won't be a surprise, but Warzone surfaces again.

I said in the past that I had painted all I had, but in a way or another, old Warzone figures keep reappearing on my painting table.

I mentioned last year how I traded about 30 old Warzone figures with a friend, but last spring, I also happened to go with a friend to Sentry Box in Calgary, where I found a bunch of old Warzone figures they had, probably from the 90s and they also happened to be half price, so I couldn't afford to leave them there.

So now I have a new lot of about 45 figures to paint, they have all been prepped and will hopefully be appearing in the following months as I paint them.

Most of them are first edition Tribes of Earth which have a very big charm, even back in the days they were not very popular, so if was kind of rare to see them on the battlefield.

The rest is a handful of Brotherhood and other random models, plus a few units and character models of the Dark Legion, an all time favorite of mine, I'm looking forward to work on them.

In the next few weeks you sill see other stuff, fantasy and historical mainly, because I am in the process of closing up some other projects, but then I think I'll start working on Warzone.

For now I just completed a single model.
