LOTR wargs

In this post we have a couple of wargs from Games Workshop Lord of the Rings game. I never really liked the game, but the models (the metal ones especially) have always been really good.

I never collected any, especially for gaming purposes, but I enjoy painting some here and there.

As mentioned in the previous post, a former coworker of IlVJ passed away and his wife gave him some models, these two are from that lot.

At the moment I'm still waiting for the pallet with all my painting tools and as these two figures were already built, I gave then an undercoat and a coat of paint, just to keep the brush moving.

These will be used in RPGs and random games, they might not see much use soon, but they were a lot of fun to paint and are one more step in the project of painting all of Tsuchiya San figures.

Some unusual models

 This week we have the first of a few posts that will irregularly appear.

As readers might already know, IlVJ worked for Games Workshop Japan for some 7 years in the early 2000s.

After he left and the Japanese branch was restructured, most of his co-workers also left the company.

One of them, Tsuchiya San, ended up opening an independent store with another guy from GW Japan.

Unfortunately Tsuchiya San recently passed away and his wife donated his collection to former co-worker and friends in the hope that his miniatures would find a new home.

My brother sent most of these figures to me since he does not have much space in Japan and I am (at least I was before the move) a more prolific painter, so that we can honor the memory of his friend and fulfill his wife's wish.

So far I managed to restore some figures he had already painted and get to us chipped and a bit damaged. More stuff will come in the future without a plan and whenever I manage to complete something.

I will make sure to point out which are Tsuchiya San figures every time I post some of them.

The first little bunch are some Warhammer Fantasy Skinks.

More refurbishments

 This week we have more refurbished models.

The first three are Warzone figures, specifically Tribes of the Earth Templar horde troopers. As before they had been dipped and I went over and highlighted them a bit.

The other one is a Dark Eldar figure. I was never a fan of the concept of Dark Eldar, but this was a model I was gifted by a friend half painted for a Necromunda game. 

She was used as a Necromunda hive scum, after more than fifteen years I decided to quickly finish it and get it done with.
