Old paintjobs

Posted by

Marchomer –

In answer to the Mortis summon up of few days ago, here some old paintjobs (that's why sometimes the quality is not good!)

A converted dark elf, Feanor my character in a AD&D 2nd edition mini-campaign (eeehr... it's a little unfocused) ^

I've painted some of my orcs in brown because I use them like hobgoblins in D&D (THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!), the symbol in the flag is plagiarized from Warcraft 2 ^

A 5th edition Slann converted to 6th edition (YOU'LL NEVER HAVE MY MONEY GW!!!) ^

[UPDATE] I forgot a self made giant golem I made for the conclusion of a D&D campaign

Great stuff there dude!

Liking Classic Citadel Ogre!

I seem to meet a lot of people who use the newer plastic Orcs as Hobbo-Gobbos in D&D, I my self have some old Citadel C-Series Hobgoblins to use, but I really need to get them painted! Personally I use the newer Citadel Orcs as Big-Un's because most of my Orcs are older Citadel and Ral Partha ones which are a little small by today's standards.

Brilliant Slaan-mage conversion, that'll show GW!

The Colossal Golem intrigues me, is it inspired by something from a Manga?

The colossal golem were the final boss of an industrial metal taste D&D campaign (in fact the entire campaign was strongly inspired by 'Destroy Erase Improve' a song by Meshuggah, that was the soundtrack of the last battle too

), it's a wire/papier-mache/DAS/green stuff mixture.

In background terms, it's a big jointed metal puppet covered with a just discovered extra-tough black rubbery stuff. It's activated with magic energy in the purest form, but takes its power and part of its will from the soul of a demon trapped in a huge crystal inside itself, this thing grant to the construct some special resistance too.

In gameplay terms, it's only a pimped colossal adamantine golem with demonic resistances

It's widely inspired from mangas! My aim was to create the classic big-bad-monster that want to destroy Tokyo (the battlefield was in fact a semi-destroyed city). The base of the miniature is in fact a battle grid where the players can move, I've done this choice to improve the 'Oh-my-gawd-a-manga-bad-monster-so-huge-he-can-walk-above-us-Waaaaaah-May-anyone-save-us-children' feeling.

I love the dragons,nice colours & details of the painting.I nearly bought some large dragons to paint in the 90's but alcohol & my RMN training got in the way & their unavailabilty................They would never have looked that good.Glad I saved the money now as they were £70 a pop.I guess wargaming is a more sociable hobby as I have been model making since the 80's & have never shown my work(except to sell on ebay or give away) & have never seen others work except at the Bath model show years ago.This is a good forum.

I assure you Wargaming is THE sociable hobby.
I could never met some of my today's friends of mine without RPG, wargames and card games. Even at present I'm recently knowing new people thanks HeroQuest and Talisman...

Agreed, I've met some of my best friends through D&D and Wargaming

I think what makes it so sociable is that unlike other some what similar hobbies (like computer games or model making) you need other people around if you want play an RPG or Wargame

I think you guys have something more special than 'needing' someone to play with.I did Karate for 10 years-we needed each other to practice 3 times a week but any contact ended as you left the Dojo.Last year I took up Archery but that was not very sociable either,people join to shoot.You cannot blame it on busy people,as a lot of your members lead busy lives.
Well good luck to you & may you long have fun!
