Recently, I have been mostly doing.....

Greetings,

Here are some photos of my recent-ish efforts.

Ariadna, Caledonia: Cameronian (l) and William Wallace (r).

The Cameronian has come out looking more like a fox than a werewolf, but this is one of the complaints with the model in general. I think it is awesome, and I like the idea of it being more like a fox anyway. One of my more successful attempts at tartan and layering of orange and blue.

William Wallace is a nice little miniature. The tartan doesn't work on him though. I shouldn't have tried to put a red in with the blue. I like him otherwise.

PanOceania, Military Orders: Sepulchre Knight (l), De Fersen (r)

The Sepulchre Knight wasa lot of fun to do. I used masses of layering for the tabard and the heraldry. The blues need more work, but they are a damned sight better than I used to be able to do.

I have had De Fersen painted for a while. I tried to do a slightly different heraldry scheme on his tabard. There is an older Korean flag from the 1900's, with a different ying-yang pattern. I tried to emulate that and I think it came out well.

Black Powder: the King's Colours bearer.

This was a free miniature from Warlord Games for getting the Peninsula War book, Albion triumphant. It is a very nice model to paint, full of character.

  

Comments are welcome. Hope you like the pictures.

Something hungry....

Greetings,

I have been doing a lot of work on my Ogres recently as I felt like I needed a change to my recent spate of painting. The Cookie Ogres are coming along nicely. More photos should follow before next week.

Comments are welcome.

Rut No Mat Wa RaiZot De!!*

Greetings stinky humans!

This is the future of your worthless, pitiful lives! Death and slavery for the Glory of the Morat Supremacy!!! Oh, and the Evolved Intelligence!

The RaiZot (or Raicho, as it is called by forces from the Human Sphere) is a fairly average TAG. The main weapon is a multi-HMG and then there are two basic variants through a different secondary weapon system. One has a heavy flamer, which is never anything to stick your nose up at. The second has a heavy grenade launcher. Armour 8 and 3 structure points means you can expect similar from other no-frills TAGs in the same weight class. It is a little bit cheaper than similarly armed TAGs of the same weight class, although only by a few points.

The biggest thing it that the Morat Aggression Force can have two in their sectorial force. Taking two would be nice, but you can't have Imetrons in the Morat sectorial, so having two becomes more of a liability than a good idea. Cheap order ONLY happen in other factions. 

Lacking in any form of Camouflage or ODD (Optical Disruption Device) means that unless you are hugging cover or hiding in smoke, there are no penalties, barring range, to shoot at you.

It was a pretty simple TAG to throw together though. It did need the arms and legs pinning though. I made a mistake in not attaching the 'puppeteer,' arms on until last. This was a big pain in the proverbial... I was swearing like a sailor in Orctown trying to attach those little blighters!

The biggest issue with the model is that it overhangs the base. A LOT! Similar with the Jotums and Dragoes, it is in dire need of needing a 50mm or a 60mm base and not a metal addition.

Here are some close up shots.

No secondary weapon as I am looking at adding them with a pin and hole method of attachment.

  

Yes, I am a sad nerd who wrote 'RaiZot' in Morat characters. I think I slightly got the method of writing them mixed up though. It appears that each syllable should be written vertically, top to bottom, instead of horizontally. this way looks prettier though.

I played around with a fireball effect or similar on the barrel of the multi-HMG. It looks better in person than in these photos.

The hair was really easy to do, but it does make me wonder why all of the  Morat have 80's metal hair?

Hope you like it. Comments, as always, are welcome.
