Avatars of War - Lord of Wrath!

Avatars of War does have some very cool looking miniatures, and this one is one of them.  I did convert it with a different head, as I actually have two of these miniatures, the other one is in work and in a blue paint scheme.

The fur cap is the only real let down to me.  I think if I was building a gamer convention army, I would likely dremel a bunch of that fur off and resculpt it myself.

Some of the ornamentation on the armor is a little funky and hard to paint.

I love the detail on the chest, the weapons, the greaves.

As always more to follow.
 

Scorpion......FIRE!

I've been hard on Warlord Games for some of their Roman stuff, but this is a model that they absolutely got right in the plastic construction.

I like plastic and have painted a number of these already to add to my Roman collection, and these are always fun to paint up and look good. 

So if you are in need of some scorpions, they are certainly a recommendation from me.  I do like the crew especially.

I often change out the kneeling plastic model and use it in the rank and file for a different look.  Its a cool model.

At some point, I'm going to do some photos of my rather large Roman and Viking collections.  They have gotten large.

Sometimes you are Chosen! Chaos

I've always thought this was a rather cool looking figure, but I never liked its left hand.

So I replaced it with this 40k chaos bit, instant improvement that made want to paint this model.

I painted him the same time as the Khorne Lord, hence the paint scheme.  The chain cape is cool looking as hell, but certainly not practical, but cool nonetheless.

Mark another one of my list of wanting to paint.  Don't have a use for him, so it will go up on Ebay.

Much more to follow.
 

Gaius Marius - Foundry Painted Model

 This is a model that I wanted to like, until I had one and started painting.  Don't get me wrong its an easy model to paint, it is just not a very appealing model.  

I like the pose, but the sculpt is too short and squat.  And quite honestly its showing its age as well.

The head is almost chimp like in appearance if I changed up the paint scheme.

But I do think the miniature turned out pretty good.  I have a huge amount of Romans in my collection, but I don't plan on keep this one.  There are better models out there.

Much more to follow.

Harry the Hammer - My version

Chaos miniatures in a fantasy setting from Warhammer always have this cool look about them.  They are just barbaric in appearance.

This model has that look.

The cape and sword sheath are really the only major let downs in my opinion.  I have had this model for ages, and have no real use for him since GW got rid of their game.

That's alright, I really don't have time to play and many of the places make it hard for me to play with some of my physical impairments nowadays.

As always more come....keep painting.
 

Khorne Lord - Sangre para el Dios de la Sangre - Bloody Painted

I seriously do like the Khorne characters in a fantasy type setting.  They are truly brutal figures and cool looking.

I have had this model for a very long time.  Certainly wanted to paint, even though I no longer have a use for the model.

I think it turned out alright.

Tons of skulls all over him.

That axe is just brutal looking.  Love the look of it.

Much more to come.
