Blood bowl sideline figures

This was a really cool batch of minitures to paint and offered a welcome break from some other projects I have been working on.

I have been trying to get hold of "Orc from Bilbao's" referee figure for quite some time and was lucky enough to see one for sale on ebay recently. I really love this figure and not just because I am a massive batman fan but because it captures all the fun and character of the game.

He is pictured alongside Heresy's Deathball coach and GZG's "Gentlemens collectables" nurse figure. I will be using her as my teams apothacry.

Thanks for looking

Khurasan's painted APC

When I first saw this model on dropships blog I knew I had to have one. It was exactly what I was after and really captures the feel of the movies and looks great alongside my figures.

To do the miniature justice I bought some of forge worlds weathering powders. This being the first time I have used powders on a miniature I would appreciate any views or tips on how you feel the effects have turned out. FYI I used the rust and dark mud powders.

I was quite happy with the end results but it's always nice to get a 2nd opinion.

15mm painted "Alien" comparison

I've seen some very helpful blog posts giving comparisons on the scale of the various 15mm Alien figures available out there, but thought it might be nice to do a compariosn on how they look together when painted and based in the same theme.

Hope this post is of use.

Figures from left to right: QRF's Large Alien bipeds (2 figs), GZG's xenomorph, Khurasan's Space demons, which are my personal favorite (2 figs) and finally QRF's small Alien bi-ped.

Pendraken Alien eggs

Hi guys, been a long while since my last post but let me asure you I have not been idle and have a number of project updates to share this time.

First off; Pendrakens 10mm Alien eggs pictured alongside some of QRF's Deep space marine casualty figures and small alien bipeds to give you an idea of scale. Although they are meant to be part of 10mm collections I still feel the scale fits with the rest of the 15mm figures in the picture and am pleased with the end results and quality of the Pendraken figures.

Thanks for looking.

QRF marines with GZG head swops

After seeing an excellent heads swops tutorial over on Mark's blog "Dropship horizon" I thought I would have a go myself. I am really pleased with the results especially as this is the first time I have tried any level of miniature conversion in the decade plus I have been collecting models.

The GZG heads are awesome and I can't wait to find a use for the rest as this is just a small selection of the two packs I bought. I only used a few just to add some personalisation to my marine squads.

Have ordered some of Khurasan's superb new APC models which I will be getting stuck into as the next part of this project. 

Feedback and comments welcome.

Painted GZG Xenomorphs

Hi guys, just the one pic of my weekends progress painting some of GZG's Xeno's.

Really nice figures. Will look good alongside the rest of my Aliens horde. I also bought some of GZG's 15mm sci fi heads last week which i'm going to be using to do some head swaps with QRF's deep space marines. WIP pics to follow, hopefully by next weekend.

As always thanks for looking.

Finished Star wars miniatures Fringe collection

Although these are pre-paints I thought this still warrented a post.

I started collecting the WOTC's Star wars miniatures shortly after the Clone strike set came out. As a huge fan of the films and multi media I have been trying to complete a collection of all my fovorite Bounty hunters, Jedi, Dark jedi and other Dark side characters from between the Phantom menace era right through to Return of the Jedi era.

I had been quite happy plodding along buying a few miniatures here and there from ebay until I heard that WOTC are discontinuing the line so they will be oop come August this year! Since hearing this news I have been franticly trying to complete my collection before they become harder or more expensive to get hold of.

With this is mind I have just completed the set of Fringe characters I want, failing any cool new releases coming out in the Masters of the force set due out next month!

Thought i'd share a photo with you.

Characters from left to right; Maris Brood, Komari Vosa, Aurra Sing, Zam Wesell, Boushh, Greedo, bib Fortuna, Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, 4-Lom, Dengar, Zuckuss, Bossk and IG-88.

I think they make quite a formidable squad!

As I complete the other parts to this collection I will post a few images. Hopefully I should complete my Seperatists squad by the end of the month.

Cheers

Chris
