Sth ugly, sth green and sth for sale

Hey again,

This post is slightly delayed - on purpose. 
It was prepared about week ago but since I didn't want to ruin the surprise (about which bit later) the publish button had to wait. Tough life mr button!

As mentioned in title the post is about 3 main somethings: ugly, green and for sale.
The first one is something ugly. Not the ugliest thing I've ever painted but surely solid candidate for the pig party: Ragathol, nepharite of Algeroth.

I remember I got the model few years back with some other old junk. I remember this cocker had pretty useful rules and stats but when it appeared we were already out of Warzone gaming. Which couldn't stop me from painting this beautie.
Apart from the fact I keep lots of feeling for old models this one is also kinda warming-up before painting something really ugly. The model X is also from Warzone range and since even I call it ugly you can try to imagine the scale of the depravation...
Anyone taking a guess?

The colors used were taken from the original artworks so there's not much of my invention on this field. Paint was sealed with lots of matt varnish so I hope to see it on the gaming table sometimes. In narrative game / campaign maybe... 



Something green!
Or better - greenish.
This blob is one of my favorite models ever. Or to be specific - 5th ed Warhammer greenskins army is the thing which dragged me into the hobby and I think Kev Adams' gobbos is the very best of it: funny, nasty faces, evil grins. Painting is pure pleasure!

The specific one is one of few greenskin doubles I had. It was painted for Mr Bugman so the poor guy has one model less to paint for the army (hope you're already started painting, Nav). Color combo is something different than classic night gobbo but I wanted to give a try to some warm and vivid colors so I can use them for my greenskins display gang.
Hope it came safe and sound and you like it!




And something I don't need anymore.
This time there are 3 models I'd like to get rid of - preferably sale but I could also exchange  them for something. Not sure what really ^^

You've seen it already - zombie bust. 10$ + shipping and Paypal fee and you can get yourself rotting paperweight!


Another one was a train man (?) from Pulp City.
Sold while I was writing the post bus since I've already uploaded the piture...


And chaos troll / mutant / whatever.
It was scaly in my Scavvies gang but Now I play "pure" gang only so this one had to do some space for the shorter cousins. 25$ + shipping anyone?


And the last thing- which also happened while I was assembling the post.
The mailman delivered some stuff!
About a month ago I spotted some oldie White Dwarfs and rulebooks on Evilbay. Nodays you can actually get such materials pretty cheap if you are into such an archeology. Anyway I've never been big fan of White Dwarfs - most of ones I've seen are from placcy era, where all you can read about is super-duper army deals and "promotions".
But it turned out there are some articles about Necromunda and 'munda battle reports plus some other stuff from 90s' which in my opinion was the golden era ot GW. I won the auction for barely nothing, whole shipping cost was much more severe than the content.
Here's what I got, lots of painting reference materials, fluff to read and ideas to use.
Me happy. Yet still cannot believe GW stopped supporting specialist games.



Phew!
Pretty lot of pictures as for my single post, hope to deliver some more shortly!

  1. Great painting!

    If you are into 2nd edition 40K there is not better than the Warhammer 40,000 Battles book (the one with the Blood Angel on the front). There is also a Necromunda version called Battles in the Underhive which is worth looking out for if you are into Necromunda.

  2. It was a freaking awesome surprise Demi!! The night goblin is really awesome sauce, it even has a bug on its base.

    Much appreciated my friend. Keep on painting!

  3. @Nav: no problemo, glad you like that lil' cocker :)

    @classic40k: thanks for the tip!
    I am definitely more into Necromunda because there's only one reliable player where I live who doesn't really paint stuff...
    Battles book is great source of ideas, will check the other book for sure!

  4. Hi!

    Cracking work as usual on the old school Warzone goodies! It's great to see them getting a bit of attention.

    The battles book is indeed a fantastic peruse (as I recall it also has Jervis Johnston getting a thrashing in every game he plays...)

    I didn't know about the Necromunda book though and may have to see if I can snag myself a copy at some point!

    All the best!
