Ratskin renegades #2

Preparations for Oldhammer Weekend 2026 continue!

At this stage I am going to participate in Friday night Necromunda roleplaying game, Saturday mini-campaign and Sunday mega-battle. Also I am covering all 3 categories in Oldhammer painting contest, so it's gonna be busy weekend for my little people. Recently bunch of Ratskin Renegades got paint slapped so driven by nostalgia for Necromunda I decided to follow the rodent-vibe and paint some more of them - hopefully to get whole gang painted soon. In fact all signs on toxic sky of Dead World say at this stage I am about half way done 🐭

This time 6 more bases were crossed off the list. The gang got proper shaman and also rat swarm. Cannot remember that unit was available in Ratskin army list but it definitely fits the gang. Giant rats models are brilliant sculpts from Highland Miniatures range, which I've gave a try before. Just like in case of skeletons - these are very fragile prints, in fact so fragile most of models which I have arrived with snapped off tails or paws. Looking at them I think I cannot make more then 2 complete swarms so rest will most probably end up as terrain features or something like that. So here here's the vermintide:

More spam after Oldhammer Weekend I guess...

Great Unclean One

Long time no see. Again... 🙄

For some mysterious reason painting stuff takes me more and more time - my guess the reason was that goddamn summer so Cthulhu be praised for there's autumn ahead.

Anyway today I've finally managed to finish oldie Great Unclean One model from early 2000's. It's probably 4th or 5th G.U.O. piece I painted so far but somehow working on versions of this rotting dude is always ton of fun. Since I had absolutely no gaming use for this model I decided to paint it kinda different way - blue is pretty original tone then it comes to Nurgle stuff. Looking at painted piece I must say I like that color combo.

Like I said I have no use for it so at the end of painting progress decision was made to make a souvenir of this chaotic blob. It's pretty big and eye-catching model so it should look decent in any self respecting office 😎

So here it is: charging troll mutant, straight from rad-zone:

And here: about to devour whole NBC suit squad!

And finally solo session - after eating everything and everyone:

Take care 🦟

Talisman's Troll

This time it's something quick and easy (more - less...): the troll from Talisman boardgame.

It's a gift model for my buddy and looks like it's the second paintjob-gift in a row!
Time to leave do gooder's path and paint something from my own the pile ov shame...

Anyway I used to play Talisman's 1st Polish edition in mid-late 90's and back days it was just supercool. Despite the fact there were cardboard characters instead of miniatures. I was curious about quality of new models but after getting it done I am sure I prefer metal stuff. 

So at least at this poin it's nothing new 😁

Hope the troll is going to have lots of successful clubbing now, having fresh colors. Maybe this one will encourage my buddy to paint rest of miniatures from the Talistan box.

Rad zone troll

Recently post-apo killa kan has left my hobby desk. Since it was supposed to be start of home skirmish game the plan was to paint squad wearing hazmat suits, but paints I needed dried out so had to find some new target while waiting for the delivery...

I wanted another generic creature for gaming so decision was made to repaint oldie Moria troll. The model is pretty simple - not much more above bare flesh and crude melee weapons, so painting was quick and easy. To make it look modern wrecked M3 Stuart tank from Bolt Action range was added on the base. Me likey, although looking at the pics I think flesh should have been highlighted stronger 🤔

Picking the wrong battle 😁

Hope the paints arrive any day now...
