Necromutants - all done!

Heyah,

Finally, after many, many years (first blister was purchased in 1997!) all necromutants in my possession are painted and ready to serve for eternal glory of Algeroth! Bwah, hah, haaah!!!

Quite an achievement especially given the fact painting itself wasn't THAT time consuming...

I mean look at the models - rather easy to paint: 

some clothes, some armour, boots, gun, stupid faces and sand on the base. That's it.
Did I mention stupid faces? Ah yes...

Still these are, I mean: these WERE part of models I've been having since the very dawn of my hobby and even though for many, many years haven't been appreciated by getting paintjob. Partly because these were such a crappy unit during our early "powergaming Warzone" (nimrods and nazgaroths for everybody!), partly - back days I was getting many models having no idea what for. Fresh gamer syndrome I guess... 

But they are here and I am so glad I've finally saved them from the bucket of oblivion.

Looking at them I can clearly see giving a try to simple camo uniform was good idea, too bad I don't have desert game table anymore ^^ 

Still I'm quite sure Algeroth's finest will do their best in any circumstances, no matter how deadly local enviroment might be: cold alien planet or green fields of Normandy...

So here they are, whole brain dead family: three squads led by badass Nepharite.
It's actually  ~700 pts combat patrol I hope to see in action shortly...

Some close ups of the last trio.
I know why these were left to be painted in the very end - it's because of stupid faces of centurion and the monkey with open mouth. Absolutely horrible...

As mentioned in the previous post I was hoping to upgrade a bit Eradicator Deathdroid but since there's just been announced 17th edition of online painting contest on Strategie forum (warning: Polish board) I might reorganize the waiting line and put M4A3 Sherman howitzer in front of Cybertronic device.
Such events are great motivators for paint slapping especially given the fact I need that tank for my Bolt Action US force. And some dry pigments are just about to arrive for testing...

Cheers!

WARZONE still alive!

Heyah,

About once or twice a year I am getting haunted by spirits of all those unpainted miniatures stashed at my place. Mostly - spirits of Warzone miniatures...
OLD Warzone, not that placcy or resin, no character crap. 

There's only one way to bring peace to those restless souls: 

bring some models to the light and give them long awaited paintjob!

Recently I had a break between painting Bolt Action infantry and Bolt Action vehicles (duh!) which was used to finish some old Warzone bits, staggering on my desk for a long while:
centurion and two trusty necromutants.

Painting was fun.
Models might seem to be kinda cranky for modern standards, but who gives a fuck about it?
I really like working or something having history, and (old) Warzone stuff always brings lots of memories from the beginning of my long road through the mysterious world of the hobby.

I remember 2 blisters of necromutants were one of the very first models I ever got. Back days I was sooo excited to bring them on the battlefield.
Remember painting them (also with enamel paints!) just to get them prepared for combat as soon as possible and when the Big Day finally came - they were all shot dead after advancing for a round or two.

Later I realised what a shit unit it really was: each model was like 3x more expensive than ordinary undead legionnaire, which was actually only bit less useless...

Still like each and every one of those. And still should have few more waiting to haunt me...

And there's more of old stuff!

Recently friend of mine was selling some Warzone stuff from RPG. Yup, back days, before miniature game there was RPG and there were even some models released!
I got 2 really old style praetorian stalkers - at this moment the paint it being washed off.
in the end they should feel really good with the rest of the praetorian family...
