I found these fantastic minis at Warlord Games in the Ancient Britons range. I’ve always fancied painting some and the Ancient Britons range fascinates me, but two things have always stopped me from buying any. 1. I don’t have any interest in any of their oppononts, except maybe the Picts but I don’t have enough [...]
Judge Painting Guide
I won’t be painting up large batches of Judges, so I thought I would make this quicky painting guide for myself, so I can remember the colors I used and gain a bit of uniformity for the boys. Thought maybe someone else would find it useful. All colors Vallejo except the Boltgun Metal that is an old [...]
Foundry Judges (1)
I have wanted these figures ever since I first saw them on the Foundry website, but the prices always stopped me. My interest in Judge Dredd goes way back. I was a big time comic reader when I was younger, it helped that my mom had an uncle with a news stand that used to [...]
LAM London Bobbies
I didn’t plan to paint these lads so early in the VSF world, but due to an order mix-up I became the proud owner of them. They really grew on me from the start. My original plan for my VSF forces involves defending Britain from Zombies and fighting Prussian spies, so the muscle is going [...]
Dredd – WIP
I’ve been reading old Judge Dredd comics this summer and it’s got me thinking about painting them for a while. I’ll write more about them when they have the final touches done. I had a problem where Dreddy was bigger than the bases I use, so I hit him with a file and shortened the [...]
Mantic Zombies (1)
I’ve been plugging away at these for a bit and I’ve shown a few here and there over the past few months. I own ninety of them at the moment and I hope the grow the number even further as I get towards the winter months. I’ll leave the reviews to other blogs that [...]
Trouble in Ireland – IRA (1)
I’ve had my eye on this period for some time and the Paul Hicks’ figures finally pushed me into getting started. I also bought the original VBCW book for some light reading and to get more use out of IWI figures. I thought the IWI offered some engagements with low model counts and few specific [...]
Lead Adventure Miniatures – Guns with many barrels
This was my second lot of LAM figures and I found them even easier to paint than the first set, they have much larger areas to paint and still wear the fantastic top hats that I’ve come to love. Not much to comment on, I followed the LAM paint schemes for the most part with just a [...]
Lead Adventure Miniatures – Bonnie and Clyde
I’ve had these folks for about six months now and have been looking forward painting them for even longer. At first I was intimidated by the level of detail in the sculpts but it didn’t turn out to be daunting at all. In fact, it seemed a perfect level of detail and with some [...]
Copplestone Partisan Fighters
This is the second lot of Copplestone figures that I painted for my Dead of Winter project. I really like the rag-tag look of these guys, they are the Partizan Fighters pack. I tried to use some recuring colors to keep them somewhat cohesive as a unit, but making them look like they wore whatever [...]
