Some more Banners for my Vikings.

So I have some new bannerman.  The first one is an old Saxon Miniatures now part of Warlord Games with a LBMS massive banner.  

I really enjoyed painting this figure.  Very awesome miniature to paint.

Wow this new update to Blogger royally sucks.  Not enjoying attempting to post things on it.  It is like a heaping pile of dung, to say it mildly.  Anyways back to the miniatures....

And then there is this guy.  This is a metal miniature, cannot remember from who, but its sporting a conversion with a plastic Gripping Beasts viking head.

Olaf and another Viking....

Some more vikings.  One more of them a Footsore miniature.  The one with the horn is a Gripping Beast metal miniature.  The one below is a converted Olaf Footsore Miniature using a Gripping Beast Plastic head.

The wolves on the shield are actually 40k transfers from an old space wolves kit.

I think the conversion turned out pretty cool.  Its what I was going for, especially since I already a Olaf miniature in my collection.

 That's it for now, more progress.....

Footsore - Erik Oaksplitter - Painted

One of my very few Footsore Miniatures.  This Viking is their Erik Oaksplitter miniature.

I really like this miniature.  It has a very cool flow to it.  

 

Unfurl the Banners - More Vikings

My new Viking bannermen.  These are all metal Gripping Beast models.

Banners are lightweight paper banners.  

If the banners look familiar, that is because they came from the paper insert that is sent with the Gripping Beast Plastics.  It was cheap, quick way to do some banners.  In the end I may at some point sit down and draw and paint some actual originals, but for now these are good enough.

 As always more to follow.....

Gigantic Evil Worm

 So I have had this miniature for years sitting on my desk.  Its a Reaper Bones miniature.  The first one that I have painted.  

I'm definitely not a fan of the Bones miniatures.  I really do not care for the material.  It is a cool mini though. The color scheme was more or less a haphazard affair of colors that I was just painting on some other miniatures.  I had absolutely no plan on how this would turn out.

It will make a good fantasy terrain piece for me.  I do plan to actually keep it in my collection.  As always more to follow.

NEW Chaos Spawn!!!

This is inspired by a Mike Butcher Chaos Ogre that I saw years ago.  I really loved the look of it and I had this Rat Ogre and some Tyranid pieces around and thought, this would make a cool looking figure.

 The figure is massive.  You can see the tentacles from the spawn kit coming out of its back.

 I gave it a fleshy color scheme.

 With some torn skin.

The upper part of the head was is an ogre bit.  The lower part is a Tyranid jaw. With the overall body being from the rat ogre kit.  All blended together with green stuff.

As always much more to follow.

She comes from the North and is part Barbarian....newly painted Avatars of War Figure

I originally bought this figure to be a part of my Mutant Marauders Warhammer force a long time ago.

 Its an Avatars of War miniature.  The sculpt originally looked very cool minus the paint.  But as you paint it you find the incredible flaws in it, from the weird right elbow to the spindly leg that disappears in a weird way

 The fur looks like something I'm able to sculpt which doesn't say much.

Then there is the weird hide or fur or whatever the hell that texture is on the inside by the left axe.  I painted it like a torn tanned hide color.  Not a great sculpt, I do not recommend the sculpt to anyone.  Despite that I think I painted it alright.  Much more to follow....
