Just thought I'd share with you pictures of what I'm working against, here's my stuff that's almost ready to get to the painting table:
Everything in here should be based up and most of it is undecorated ready to go it's just a case of me ever the time to paint it. On top of this I've got a crate of un-based treasures that I keep adding too:
The most recent additions are these old citadel goodies
All the old school action over on the awesome Realm of Chaos blog http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/do-you-have-miniatures-wish-list.html has re-sparked my old school citadel love and currently this lot is winging it's way to me from ebay:
There's just something about the old school citadel stuff that has wonderful character that I feel most of the current Games Workshop stuff is lacking, it's probably partly nostalgia but the new stuff doesn't have the same soul... Anyway moving on, I just scored these awesome tomes at the charity shop for £1.50 each:
I've mainly bought them to look a the pictures as I have no intention to play fantasy roleplay and completely lack the space or a castle to play siege games but still they are still nice things to own and will be added to the pile of unused rule-books
Moving on from old oldhammer I finished up some more zombies, first up are some foundry plague victims:
I've tried to keep them time period neutral so they could be used for modern systems along with fantasy settings. I went for different base colours and washes for them all to give them a different finish and look.
Next up are a couple of Alpha force mutated zombie's
This update took about ten times longer than it should have as I kept getting distracted by the awesome BBC documentary 'Punk Britannia', if you can get on the BBC iPlayer and give the three part series a go it's well worth it.
Holy shi-...........
ReplyDeleteWell you do not have a time limit on when to have them finished!!!
The logic I'm using on my wife is that whenever we get round to having kids I won't be able to afford any mini's as all my money will be going on gifts for the child so essentially this mountain is a stockpile that will hopefully cover the first 18 years of it's life and keep me busy until we manage to kick it out :)
DeleteDrooools. Nice storage and wow what a pile!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the storage is made up of trays for keeping beads and jewellery etc I found in hobby craft.
DeleteAt first I thought that case was a bookshelf, and a little part of me died. Great zombies.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That would be amazing though, a whole bookcase full of mini's...
Deletegreat work on teh zeds! more please!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a zed break at the moment as all I've painted for the last couple of weeks is rotting pink flesh :) I'm trying to fly through a couple of old citadel orcs this week but I will probably have some more zombies done next week
