Welcome! The chipping away of mount Pile Of Lead continues. Painfully slowly admittedly, but still, it continues. I'm painting mainly fantasy models with the main intention of using them in a less than fantasy setting. So here's the good stuff;
Sea Troll
From Black Tree Design is this sea troll. Bought over twenty years ago, I think I was going to use it in a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game that I never did. About ten years ago I thought I'd use it as a centrepiece fore an urban fountain that would adorn my battlefields but I never completed. About three months ago I was rummaging through my bits box and found it, then I thought he'd make a grand Grotesque for my Drukhari army. Contrast paints were used and here he is, ready to muck up enemies of the Commoragh or possibly wander on to a Warhammer Fantasy Battle field. Who knows?

His spear reminds me of a weapon in Slaine; a 2000ad character, if memory serves Slaine 'threw' the Fir Bolga at his enemy with his foot. Rock n' Roll.Warzone Mutant? |
About the same time as the Sea Troll purchase, this lad was bought. Pretty certain he was going to be a knock off mutant or Scaly for my Necromunda games. Now he can be a big mutant if such a thing exists still in 40K or as another Grotesque for the Druchari, this one with a liquefier gun. He can also be one of those 'Experiment 23' type scenarios where a small team of elites have to go in and kill him and some of his mates. For those interested he's a Mutant Chronicles model that may be available from Prince August, I had a quick look but couldn't find him. I had to stop as I saw a lot of things I quite liked.

| DAKKA DAKKA! |
Warhammer Quest Minotaurs
More Grotesques that can moonlight in a few other armies. Round bases betray the fact I doubt I will go balls deep into a Beastman army for WFB but you never really know. I gave them blue gloves to looks sci fi but I didn't chop them up to give them Talos bits as I think they can pretend to be mutants, weird looking Ogryns or some other type of mutant.

| Grrrrrr! |
Hippie Tree Lover
As I've recently been looking longingly at my fantasy models I thought I might scratch an itch by trying out some contrast paints on a Dryad to see if I might do some more work on them. There have been murmurings of playing WFB again so I want to be ready with one extra painted vengeful forest spirit!

Every Race's Punchbag
More Black Tree chaps, this time halflings. These are small halflings, almost halfling children. Except for the one on the left smoking a pipe I would have thought they were juveniles. They may see a bit of table time as rural ratlings for a possible skirmish game, or perhaps Empire army archers, even though they don't exist in the latest army book. I do like these models especially the ones wearing pans on their heads.

So there you have it, more models I'm less embarrassed about. Hopefully they will help me win friends and influence people.
