Privateer press... A bunch of Cutthroats!

I think when I painted these figures, they were mostly meant for IronKingdoms RPG.  I could be wrong... it was a while ago!

More lovely ladies from REAPER

Well, not all of them are lovely ladies :-)  Once more, this shows just how much crazy variety there is in the Reaper line.  They have gotten even more elaborate with some of their figure sets in recent years, creating some pieces that make great dioramas or unit fillers for Fantasy armies.

This is actually a stowaway from Cathy's Reaper gallery.  I think she was messing around with her snow basing technique at the same time I was. That happens a lot :-)

Masque Of Slaneesh

When I saw this piece, all I could think of was the first game of WFB when she and the Greater demon of Slaneesh earned the nicknames of "Bonnie and Clyde".

This was back in the days of 7th edition.  I was playing my Lizardmen, as usual, and Rich had his Demons.  On the first turn, he had the Masque and the Demon sprint over to my lines, where "Bonnie" the Masque performed her dance, and "Clyde" the Demon did his leadership spank as well.  It caused units of salamanders to take off running.

That meant that I had to come up with ways to combat Bonnie & Clyde, mostly in the form of giant skink & Kroxigor units.  With the way shooting used to work with large targets, the demon was getting hit with 30-40 poison shots at a time.  Then the Demon went away.

Wendigoes from War Gods

I really enjoyed painting these guys!  The Crocodile Games ranges always have lots of great stuff!

Alternate Astral Claws color scheme

I did this earlier this week as a color test figure.  The idea was to ditch the usual silver & blue colors, and go black& red.

I still wanted to keep a slight hint of blue though, so the banner and base got a teeny bit of a grey down dark blue.  The insignia is a neat one, so I look forward to incorporating that into lats of areas on the actual minis. :-)

Infinity: Ariadne Highlanders

Back to the Infinity stash!  This time we have a bunch of highlanders.  I had seriously thought of using these figures for my allied contingent to my old Sisters of Battle army that was Celtic themed.  They would have made some nifty Imperial Guard stormtroopers!

Grey Knights Librarian

Now this guy was a heck of a challenge!  It would have been so even without the elaborate base (from Hi-Tech).  That is due to the hell which is Finecast.  I don't think I need to go into any details, since everyone has had their own experiences, and they don't need me to beat the Easterling war drums! :-)

I put him up on Cool Mini, so I once again ask all loyal Wappellians to vote on him (yes, that is me being crazy at 3 AM once again!): http://www.coolminiornot.com/305525
