After a couple of days of gaming, today I spent a bit of time with the paintbrush again, and tidied up some figures that were all finished but for their bases.
 |
| Star Wars Legion Rebel Specialists |
The 2-1B Medical Droid simply had to be painted in that Turquoise colour that I remember from the old Kenner Action Figures.
 |
| Craig's second lot of Imperial Snowtroopers |
And, in keeping with the random fantasy drop ins, I repainted this High Elf Chariot for my Elven army.
 |
| Pulled by the White Lions of Chrace |
 |
| Blue and yellow will be the theme throughout the Elven army - when I paint it. |
I was going through the old 4th edition Army books, and remembering how much I loved that old school 90s style of painting with bright and vivid colours. Hence the chariot makeover. The banner has been repainted white because eventually I will be painting it with a 90s style banner.
On the painting tray at the moment, having pushed the Macedonians out of the way, is the second part of a Dwarven army, the first two units now being complete as of this morning. I am just waiting for the bases to dry and I'll have pictures tomorrow. I'm on a bit of a fantasy kick at the moment, but the Dwarves are really to enable me to play a mega game with Humans and Dwarves vs Chaos and Orcs. THEN, I'll get back to the ancients.

Very nice brushwork on all these Nate - now fantasy, like high gloss paint, ain't really my thing - but the chariot is pretty cool! And I do have a collection of female fighters for Frostgrave, so I am not totally immune to the draw of imaginary realms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. I have to admit that the current crop of Games Workshop offerings leave me cold, but I do have a bit of an Oldhammer bent - 90s nostalgia really.
DeleteMore wonderful Star Wars goodness!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I admit to wanting to go into the attic and dig out my old 2-1B Action figure for inspiration - 80s nostalgia!
DeleteThanks Rodger.
