Few very Oldhammer models donated to IlVJ by our good friend Tino

This week we have a quartet of models that IlVJ finished recently in his new found Oldhammer phase.

He is starting a Realm of Chaos warbands campaign with 3 of his friends tomorrow, let's hope that it goes well and that he finds more motivation to keep painting.

Chaos warrior of Khorne. This model belonged to our friend Tino who got out of gaming many years ago. He found a handful of figures lying around his place recently and donated them to my brother. They were all somewhat broken, but IlVJ repaired and painted some of the, the rest will, hopefully be fixed and painted later. 28mm, Citadel, painted by IlVJ

Chaos spawn of Khorne. This model has also been put together with some of Tino's old miniatures, the Bloodletter body was left over from a conversion Tino did years ago (the piece is now in our possession, you will likely see it in the future), so my brother decided to make a spawn by adding a spider as the head of the monster. 28mm, Citadel, painted by IlVJ

This is another of Tino's rescues. It actually belonged to me over 30 years ago, I traded it with Tino for something else because he wanted to use the (now missing) wings on its helmet for some conversion. IlVJ filed the helmet smooth and fixed the sword to make the model worth some paint, I think the result ir pretty great. 28mm, Citadel, painted by IlVJ

This is the last of the repairs IlVJ performed on one of Tino's figures, this poor skeleton champioh nad lost its sword and needed some minor repairs. Now he can go back to slaying the living with impunity. 28mm, Citadel, painted by IlVJ

A miniature from a friend

 This week I have a special miniature, it is the general of my brother's elf army. 

I probably mentioned this previously, but IlVJ stripped his entire elf army (which he had painted as a teenager) and is now (very)slowly repainting it.

As it happens, our friend Dave Perry (former 90s GW heavy metal painter) has, at the same time, gotten back into painting after years of hiatus. So he kindly painted this figure for my brother (Thanks mate!).

Needless to say that it looks fantastic.

You can see more of Dave's current and former work at his website Lost Decade Miniatures.

Few random RPG figures

 This week we only have a very small post, as I mentioned in past posts, I'll be moving back to Italy in the summer, so I'm not painting as much these days, mainly because unpainted miniatures are easy to move than painted ones.

But a few here and there still end up under the brush, so here you have something for the weekly post.

Hopefully IlVJ will be more productive than me and we'll have more to post.

Epic orks Evil Sunz clan

 Once in a while I always end up painting more Epic stuff, this time a clan of Evil Sunz Orks that I traded recently with a friend.

I had a lot of fun painting these boyz, now I have 5 of the 6 clans available, as soon as I get back to Italy I'll probably put together a Blood Axe clan and complete all the options.

Evil Sunz clan, I painted some war wagons years ago, they will be re-united in August this summer. Citadel, Epic Scale, painted by Ginzio

A small addition to the Badab War collection

 I painted a few more models for my very long term Badab War project.

As long time readers might know, I decide, years ago, to paint whatever space marine model I still had kicking around, in the various colours of the Rogue trader article concerning the Badab War.

The idea is to paint a few models every year to end up with at least one each of the various colour schemes, including the camo variants.

Below is the latest batch of figures I painted.

Few RPG random models

 This week we have a small collection of random RPG model, mostly cyberpunk-ish and near future.

Oldhammer Elves

 This week another small unit from IlVJ, some Marauder sea elves he painted quite a while ago, but never got around to take pictures of.

He will proceed with the re-painting of his old elves army, with some new additions. The plan is to paint the models in colours that will allow most of them to be used as wood, high or sea elves.

This is the first group of 6, some were released as sea elf wardancers, others as sea elf warriors, he is grouping them all together since the sculpting and details are common and work well together.

A couple of old school RPG miniatures

 Today we have a couple of figures that IlVJ started probably two years ago and he finally got around to complete.

They are both pretty old miniatures, one from Ral Partha, the other from the Conan TSR range.

The TSR miniatures are famously ugly, but they have some kind of old school charm.
