Great Grey (Capitol)

While waiting for Warzone Eternal project to be launched I decided to bring another oldie from pile ov shame darkness to light: Capitol's Great Grey skimmer. Back days, when the first edition was still alive I've never seen in action but I accidentally got the model a month or so ago. I am no sculptor, so try not to judge others' greenstuff jobs (like: don't like it? No problem, but instead of b!tching about it grow some balls and sculpt better 🙄) but this one with no doubt is one of the most screwed up models in the original Warzone line. Actually the vehicle is acceptable but it's operator is just abomination. 

It's almost as horrid as infamous Imperial Barracuda... 🤢

But I have lots of heart for such pieces therefore I think every model deserves nice paintwork - no matter the sculpt. At first there was an idea to replace the head with closed helmet but all in all decision was made to leave it in original shape. No matter someone likes it or not.

As for the color choice the combo is result of mini poll I put on FB a while back. It's clearly based on "Flanker" color scheme. Pretty striking, especially over Mars-style base.

Hope you like it. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you: the war dolphin! 🐬😁

I do not like the way exhausts turned out - they were much brighter but in the end I decided to hit it with yellow filter and that's the result:

But I definitely like the scale shot. The Capitol skimmer below is either evading patrol of undead legionnaires or about to gun them down with on-board weapon:

This time it's something wet and nasty...

But before you get some miniature-pr0n here's something much less juicy: Capitol hero.
This ugly... eee... I meant classic piece of sculpt was painted as another member of the Doom Troopers team I'd like to see sometimes in the glass case.
I tested different camo colors here and it's acceptable for my rotten taste. There's no punisher blade on the back because I fu**ing lost is somewhere: I had just a single blade, got it primed and the next day it was gone. Main suspect is one of my cats but since there's no evidence so far...
I will find that piece or find some replacement shortly.

It was nice to cross that model off the 'uuge-junk-pile list, and it's always pleasure to see Warzone model painted. After I find the missing piece model will be sent to one of guys we started the whole Warzone deal here. The old chap was once wargamer and RPG player and now he's a monk =|

And no - nothing cool like monk from Diablo game. Oh well...

Now it's tome for something nasty and for adult wargamers only!
That's right, tell the kids to watch tv, play football or just get out ^^

I felt bit weird while starting painting the Carronande.
I know some old Warzone models look silly or funny but this one is just one big, fucking disaster. The only bits I like are original crewmen - they are now part of another undead legionnaires squad.
The cannon spent many years in the junk bucket since our Warzone group fell apart so I feel even bigger satisfaction it's finally painted. No matter how ugly it is. As you can see I replaced original wheels with resin ones. Despite my whole tolerance for ugly... eee... CLASSIC (gotta remember about it) minis I just couldn't stand the original parts.

At first I wanted to paint is similar to original artwork (dirty browns) but since the obvious reference to penis of Algeroth I decided to use more organic choice of colors. So here it is - ready to bombard mortal armies with pure semen of Evil.

And since there's never enough hobby pr0n here's another something.
Wet and nasty something which should probably come from Ilian (Warzone speaking) but which actually came from Navarro - if you ever had anything in common with Tyranids you should hear about the guy.

Some time ago I was trying to build a drop pod for my pretorian stalkers - according to some unofficial rules we use these guys can start the game deployed behind enemy lines. Since my sculpting-fu is really weak I asked Navarro for some advices about creating alien tissue - there was a cool article about it on Chest of Colors by the way.
So after exchanging some emails he offered to send me his drop pod, which was Santa visiting me in the summer!

What I got was a cast of pod sculpted for Secret Weapons. And it even came painted!
Check this and feed your eyes.
Thank you Nav, thanks a lot!

Till the next time!
