After painting two rather chilling models decision was made to work on something much more warm. This time I excavated supercool sculpt from Brigade Models - Mordred the Damned.
It's the second (and actually the last...) model in my collection from the Celtos line. Don't know why this game was never popular here - the sculpts are simply gorgeous: nicely detailed and full of character, perfect for gifts. And this is the reason I chose it:
My son is getting 9 years old in a few days and because he likes playing with miniatures I try to encourage him to get little deeper into the hobby.
Yeah, yeah... Daddy's gonna turn the kid into miniatures addict... 😅
It's the second b-day model I've painted for my firstborn - the first was Aragorn from Lord of the Rings (kiddo claims he still has it and it's still not broken! Huzzah!).
Since it's a special occasion model I put it on plinth instead of standard, gaming base. Besides there is much more space on the bottom for some birthday wishes. Here is is:
As mentioned before Mordred is the second model from Celtos I've painted so far - the first was Cernunnos which was finished just before moving to the previous flat, over 6 years ago. The model still stands proudly in the display case (it even made it into Brigade Models gallery!) and I still like it enough to give it fresh photos - old ones got f#cked by Photobucket... 😠
Happy birthday, Georgie! All the very best from your oldschool dad! 🤡
That's fantastic. Not only the paintjob -which is simply so evident at plain sight; but the whole gift concept. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteThanx Sub!
ReplyDeleteLooking at pics again on office screen I am sure I gotta do something about the backdrop:
it seems to mess with the colors 🤔
Lovely work! We hosted a couple of demo games back when I worked for Borders and it's a great game with fab figures. Sadly it vanished pretty much without trace when i-Kore shut up shop and although Brigade picked up the range, the rules seem to have got lost in development hell ever since.
ReplyDeleteI really wish they could complete the range as there's a fair few gaps in it, especially the Dwarves!
That would be great,
ReplyDeletesadly I think quite hard task especially now - when there're so many games and manufacturers. It's really hard to make such a project profitable 😕
The first one is always free ;) Cool and creepy.
ReplyDeleteBoth games had something special to them indeed. Be it Celtos or Void I always like them models as if they were spiritual sucy of chronopia / warzone.
ReplyDeleteCern is simply fantastic! Love the judge death Vive the mini has even If I never envisioned him that way (on my mind Cern looks like Pan)
Looks perfect fit for dark legion tho.
@potsiat: True! I am utterly evil miniature-manimulator... 😁
ReplyDelete@javi: Had same in mind while painting it! That model would be also perfect character for Chaos Nurgle army! ☠
