Gamezone Orcs: Gallery #1

Gamezone makes a line of interesting Orc figures.  They are really not to bad.  They are pretty large, even the regular Orcs.  These are of the larger variety.  not the easiest to assemble, but they could be very useful for Lord of the Rings as captains and heroes.  All the GW hero figures are as tiny as the grunts, and it gets hard to tell in the inevitable scrum...

Speaking of Seraphim... Saint Celestine

I have painted a few Celestines, and each time a fun result ensues!  It can be a bit of a challenge with the various pieces, but it is always worth the effort.  I was able to use that special ability of hers twice in one game back in the 4th edition days... it was very handy!  She came back to life twice.

Seraphim unit for Sisters of the Raven army

Here is a unit of Seraphim which I painted for my Sisters of the Raven army.  The Calpurnia Inquisitor scale figure posted a few weeks ago also has the colors and icon designs of this army .

Some more Retinue figures for Inquisitors

Forgeworld makes some fun miniatures for Inquisitor retinues!

Gamezone Trolls: beating a dead horse

These were pretty useful miniatures from the Gamezone line.  They came with multiple heads that let you use that all important vomit option!  So much for that pretty armor...

Plus, they came toting some interesting items to the battle!

The bases were sculpted from Apoxy sculpt to get them positioned just right.

My Coteaz conversion

I just finished this guy for my Adepticon Grey Knight army.  It is a blend of an old Confrontation mini I had been saving, a Warmaster High Elf eagle, and a lot of Empire Flagellent bits.

Some pictures:








Here's the WIP:

My first Thousand Sons minis

These Thousand Sons miniatures were painted several years ago, but one thing remains the same when I paint them today.  The basis of my blue color comes from Reaper Amethyst.  It is a wonderful dark, rich blue color that can be turned into another type of color depending on what you use to lighten it.

For instance, it can assume a bit of a purple tint, even when lightening with Space Wolves Grey.  It mixes wonderfully with various seafoam and light turquoise colors.  It does not need much added to it in the way of shading if you want a very dark shade.  It is already there.

These bases were among the first of my marble/temple style.  I think this is what gave me the idea to do it for the rest of my armies, which you have seen illustrated many times.  Looking back at these, I really like the white and yellow colors.  The white makes the blue of the armor that much darker.  More recently, I have done a dark blue marble with the demon faces.  Perhaps I should try going back to the lighter bases for that future Thousand Sons army.  There is a new book coming out, after all!
