Gunslinger/Desperado

Cowgirl1

I painted this beautifully sculpted model so that she could give Inquisitor Verhoeven and my other 40k skirmish types some close range fire support, but the model is suitable for use in a variety of games and settings. Continue reading

Every so often I see some miniatures and I decide that I have to have them.  That happened when I saw these goofy guys a month or so ago. Continue reading

Tau Test Piece

Tau Fire Warrior test Piece

Tau Fire Warrior Test Piece

I have been promising myself some brightly coloured, vaguely anime inspired tau models since 2001 when the range first came out.  I have been picking up a few models here and there ever since (not forgetting a large donation from theottovonbismark last year) but this is the first tau that I have actually got around to painting.

Rupture Farmers – DreadBall Judwan Team

The Rupture Farmers

The Rupture Farmers

Judwan are a disenfranchised pacifist alien race circumstantially forced to play DreadBall.  Their game style is a fast and nimble one that is exceptionally well suited to passing plays.  While judwan can wrong foot opponents with Feint/Misdirect, they cannot slam, foul or use the ball as a missile: judwan cannot inflict harm in any way.

Mongoose Judges Recap

Mongoose Publishing have moved the production of their Judge Dredd range to Warlord Games.  I just joined their forum and wanted to put up some photos of my Judges which come form a few different manufacturers, but they only want photos of Warlord/Mongoose models, which is fair enough.

So I took a couple of photos of the Mongoose Justice Department figures that I have painted and am putting them up here, again.  I did actually modify the basing slightly since the last time, but to all intents and purposes this is a repost.

Mee-kel is the MVP associated with the judwan teams in DreadBall.  His name is a terrible pun relating to a famous basketball player. Continue reading

Inquisitor Verhoeven

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Verhoeven

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Verhoeven

This retro looking chap is a late eighties/early nineties GW inquisitor miniature that I picked up on Ebay a while back.  I painted the figure for use in skirmish games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (as discussed a little here). Continue reading

Gyrinx #2: Rampage

GyrinxRed

Gyrinx number 3

Not actually the second gyrinx, but the second post about gyrinx (whats the plural of gyrinx anyway?  “Gyrinx” surely, like “sheep”).  Its probably not going to be the last post about space cats around here either… Continue reading

Commissars Headroom & Trude

CommissarsF

L to R: Commissar Headroom, Commissar Trude

While they didnt feature in the original Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader rulebook, commissars showed up as part of the Imperial Guard soon after.  They were a defined part of the 40k universe quite early, long before second edition came out.

The first White Dwarf that I ever saw (#108, December 1988) featured an article that introduced both Space Marine Chaplains and Imperial Guard Commissars to 40k.  It has taken me a quarter of a century to get around to painting any commissar models. Continue reading
