This little Piggie...

The last batch of figures from MSB Toys.  I don't know what they had in mind with these guys, but they were pretty funny. :-)  I painted these way back in 2005.

A piece here and a part there...

Pieces and parts.  The story of my life.  Typically spending most of my life painting jigsaw puzzles with no picture of what it;s supposed to look like. :-)

This particular puzzle was even more tricky!

Here you see the main hull, rudder and weapon with the freehand...

And then the ventral section with more engines, prow, grav whatever, and so on...

Gotta have a crew!

This was good training for figuring out how to paint the Kabal Warriors.

And now for some images of the whole collection.

After it is assembled, it will be time to do the finishing touches.

Is it wrong that this is making me super hungry right now?

An MSB TOYS collection from the vault

Here's a set of figures from MSB toys that I painted between 2005 and 2006.

It is certainly a very eclectic collection! ;-)

Some of these were still fun to paint, though...

Gotta have zombie pirates!

And zombie Firemen!

And Angels...

Getting there...

Some more images of the third Venom so far.  More stuff to do yet.

This is definitely starting to look like an actual army now :-)

I will be really happy to be snapping pics of all three Venoms together once all the little stuff is done!!!

Stay tuned for more!!

High Strung... more Fenryll

Or should this be called "No Strings Attached" :-)

In these wee hours of the morning we have some more Fenryll figs...

I did not realize just how many of these that I painted back in the day!

There was certainly a wide variety.

More to come tomorrow!

A base for the Raider...

Unlike every other army I have done, this one is pretty unique in more ways than one.  It hit me about a week ago that none of my other armies had transports that needed bases!

Normally, I can base my infantry in any method I choose, and just paint the transports.

Instead, all these skimmers have their own bases, and I figured that I should at least try to make them match the infantry that they are carrying somewhat.

Here, you can see that I tried to make the base for the Raider as similar to the Grotesques as possible.

There are a few Grotesques with this kind of base, so I think it should be pretty neat!

I am looking forward to the group shots of the Grotesques with the Raider!!

If possible, I am trying to get one Grotesque painted which will look like it is jumping off the Raider.  This will really let everyone know exactly what unit is on board :-)  It will be magnetized, so that he can join the rest of the unit if I have the points to include him in future games.

A lot of hot air?

Any time I get to do non standard flesh tones, it is always fun!  When freehand is also involved... even better!!

Here is another one of those Fenryll figures from back in the day.  This time it is an Air Genasi.

Contrasting those cooler fleshtones against the much warmer armor and clothing was a blast.
