Tonight we have another Privateer Press Tharn infantry figure.
Siennas, browns, tans, etc., are the order of the day.
As always, they represent a nice contrast to the slate and sky blues of the snow!

La bataille de France
With a second Somua s35 complete, it's time to try out a set of comparison shots of the two camo schemes.
This second approach seems to be quite unique to the French vehicles. I have not seen this anywhere else in my research.
The most unusual version of this horizontal striped pattern saw the top color (mostly the turret), as completely painted in sky blue!
While this could be quite effective on the ground against troops in trenches, airborne assaults on a tank column like this would be quite dangerous, I think!
From here, it is on to some Renault tanks, which are even smaller.
Stay tuned! Lots more on the way!!!
Searching for Red Gold!
Meet Crazy Louie, a well known prospector in the town of Wappelville.
Only the Enemy knows his true identity, but the townsfolk believe that he's been exposed to the Red Gold just a little too long!
With nothing more than his shovel and pick axe, he is constantly on the prowl for new veins of the mysterious red substance.
I am pretty sure that this figure is from Artizan Miniatures. It's something I used for Deadlands years ago.
And, of course, he goes quite well with the Wild West Exodus RJ-1027 mining carts!
I am really looking forward to having this in our next WWX game. Stay tuned for that battle report!!!
There you have it. Now, where could Crazy Louie have gotten off to this time? He's never around when the Holy Order are in town...
Should you want to try out some OSL of your own, I do have a video which shows my approach:

The Wings of Angels
For those of you who have been following the blog for a number of years, you have already seen the introduction of the Angels Solarus, a Blood Angels splinter chapter, which was painted a few years ago.
Here is the initial introduction post:
In addition to the horde of infantry created for this army, I also painted numerous vehicles and dreadnoughts. I believe there were three Forgeworld speeders, two Baal Predators, six dreadnoughts, and five dreadnought drop pods. Oh yeah, and a Stormraven!
Apparently this post was created but never actually posted!
The format might be a little crazy, but that's because I was using different settings at the time.
There are even more dreadnoughts which were part of this massive project!
The color transitions were especially challenging on the dreadnoughts!
There are also a number of Death Company vehicles, including a dreadnought drop pod.
There are individual posts on each of the dreadnoughts and drop pods...
I hope that you enjoy this trip down memory lane!!!
Spear and Snow
Back to the Legion of Everblight. These must be the older, metal versions, since I also have several plastic/resin versions as well.
All of these will be painted in the same muted color scheme, with a small amount of the burnt seinna accents.
I have been asked many times how the snow effect was done. There are a number of different techniques in my arsenal, but here's a video which I did as part of my Painting Pyramid series.
It's one of dozens available at Kings Hobbies and Games:

One Hot Bombshell!
Another Bombshell Babe for you today! This is Delzira, Demon Princess.
As soon as I saw the figure, I just had to put that on one of my lava bases! Yes, I could not resist. :-)
The pose itself was also just right, as the arms were extended, and the metal staff would reflect colors nicely.
I have been getting a lot of questions and queries about how I have been doing OSL, snow bases, lava and such, so I will be including a few links to samples of my painting videos, which you can get directly from me or from Kings Hobbies and Games (on a USB drive).
Here's a sample of the Object Source lighting video!
And a link to KH &B:

Out in the Cold
This set of group shots shows the ten Red Box Games on the terrain pieces that have been a lot of fun!
These particular figures had a lot of dynamic poses, including the archers.
The standing stone is very fun!
This is the first chance that I've had to see 'normal' sized human figs on them.
Quite the crowd!!
The view from above...
This is OUR rock!
Fun times in the forest!
Let's play king of the hill!
