Painting update

It's been a while since one of these, but I've had two weeks of not doing much painting, so it balances out.
First up, the next installment in the campaign to have two ready forces when Mortal Gods is unleashed. These Spartans certainly aren't as colourful as the Athenians, but they'll do as an opponent.
Lambdas to the fore

I used sunset red on the tunics - it gives them a pinkish hue.
 Next up, progress on the Great War figures for Battlefront's re-released game.
A German platoon including rifle grenadier option

Close up - look at those moustaches!

The British opposition - a full platoon.

A few less moustaches in these close-ups


Next we have some fantasy figures. These are old GW plastics that are being repurposed for Dragon Rampant. The strength points are tracked by mini-dice, which enables me to put a variable amount of figures on the bases.
The second unit of human handgunners, in red and black. The others are black and yellow.

Gobbos next to their mushroom homes.

These guys were easy to paint - completed in an evening.
I've also completed some figures for Craig. Star Wars Legion (some were painted a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't posted them in between):
Scout troopers ready for combat.
Leaders to oppose the Scout troopers

I was quite pleased with how these two turned out.

And some WWII British snipers in ghillie suits.
Last week was extremely productive, and I'm hoping this week will be similar.

  1. Wow Nate - you say you have not had much painting time, but there is quite a smorgasbord of different scales and era's here! Pleased to see the Spartans have their long hair included in the sculpt!

    1. Thanks Keith. The output for this week has been accelerated by using more washes and painting less eyes! The Warlord Spartans are very cool with their long hair and pilos helmets.

  2. Great work on an eclectic mix of genres. If I had to choice a favorite, it would be your WWI work.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. I have a soft spot for the Great War work as well. The Battlefront painting guides are excellent.

    1. Thanks Mark. Variety is the spice of life, and I'm certainly not getting bored with the same old thing all the time.
