More Imperials...


Sorry for the delay.  Trying to figure out posting stuff to You Tube.  More of the Imperial Fists today.


People ask all the time, so some of the colors I used on these guys were Iyanden Darksun, Tausept Ochre, some off whites, and Vallejo Leather Brown.  There were some glazes thrown in as well, which you will have to engineer yourself, since there are no formulas there :-)




New images of the Eggshell Redeemer


For whatever reason, I could not find any images of this in my files, so I thought that I would take advantage of all the new advances in LED pure white lights and other things that were not available back in the day.


This meant lots of new images!  Yea!  I could finally get a true representation of the vehicle.


There were some color changes on this Redeemer as opposed to the first one.  You will also see the differences in the freehand.


Some things stayed the same, such as the battlefield horizon lines on the cowlings of the incinerators.


There was certainly a lot going on with these monsters!  Lots of small phrases and passages scattered about.


I had a lot of fun with the images on the upper surface of the hull.  I had always wanted to try something like that :-)


What was less fun were all the mechanisms and the 27 separate parts that had to be painted before assembly!


Plus, the Forgeworld stuff had all the usual fun elements like warping, bubbles, mould release that would not come off, scale issues, and so on.

More images to come, including side by side pictures with the first Redeemer vehicle!!!

Back to the Imperials...


Some Imperial Fists stuff coming over the next few weeks. First up, a few regulars before the characters...


Then more...


Zombicide and the Electric Slide


Fire up the music, get out your platform shoes and boogie!  Time to kill a bunch of zombies, 'cause Disco Stu is in the house!

This was one of the Reaper Bones figures that I turned into a Zombicide character.  He joined Ranger Rick in a combination that was a little bit city, and a whole lotta country :-)


Good thing Polyester doesn't stain!


Courtesy of the folks at CMON and Guillotine Games, I was able to make a character sheet for him


There's no way Stu's gonna let any Zombies get at his pile of Benjamins!  Can't get your freak on without 'em.

The Huntress


Here's another Celtos figure, this time one of the Gaels.  I am pretty sure this was a hero character.
She was sculpted by Kev White, as was most of the Celtos line.

His fantastic sculpts became Hasslefree Minis, which are just as spectacular.  As always, very clean lines, and not overloaded with 'extras', leaving that blank canvas for your own designs.  This time around, it was very simple, but the Gaels I am working on for the Slaine campaign have loads of woad!


I think I have a gallery or two of Hasslefree figures, which are just that!  I also have more galleries of Celtos figures, including a few big dioramas.


The Original "Purple Girl"


Well, if you wanted to know where the idea for the Purple Flesh Tone video came from, here it is!
This is a Celtos figure, a Fomorian Siren to be exact.  You can see the similarities :-)


This one was painted years ago.  Seeing the Raging Heroes Mantis Warriors, the temptation was too great to attempt this color on them as well!  Obviously there are a lot of differences between the two types, but that's where the fun comes in.

The 7th sign


I just realized I never got a chance to post the last Mercs figure.  It was mounted on another one of the Snow bases I made for the kickstarter video.


I was able to find some interesting Celtos minis, so I will be posting those next.  A possible "Then and Now" is under way as well.  Those are always a blast!


So stay tuned :-)
