Just finished the Ostrich Man from the Citadel C38 series. Seriously weird creature - just what I like 
That would be the final beastman for this unit - "just" the Minotaur Lord left which is not in progress. And well, might replace one of the current once with a new one with a banner. A BIG banner made out of two dragon wings (from the DRAG4 Great Fire Dragon) - more to follow...

Thanks Suber & Naagruz!
First finished painted miniature since June when I did the Ostrich Man. Great to be able to post something finished. Been working on several different things since then June, mainly bigger things like my Cavalry Leader and the Minotaur Lord to lead my first Beastmen unit.
Therefore, decided to paint something quicker. Went for the very simple but great Citadel Fiend Factory Were Rat released in 1982. A quite nice sculpt as well compared to many other in the FF series.
Think I will stick to painting for a while now and just started with the seriously poorly sculpted but charming Crabman. Also from the Citadel Fiend Factory series.
If you are also into these old miniature, check out this post. The full FF range all painted up.

Sublime Hans, it really is. Th enew base looks really cool too, it differs from the others but stays in the same vein. I like the feeling I'm looking at a National geographic program undre acid when I look at your beastmen (not that I know anything about how things are under acid but anyway) They are part real and part unreal and it's that delicate balance that isth emost fascinating in your work.

Finished the Citadel Fiend Factory FF4-1 Crabman.
A very old citadel miniature. Part of the very first releases appearing in White Dwarf 12 (April / May 1979). The sculpts of these old minis varies a lot and I think you would agree this isn't the best. I like it though. In particular what I like with the old and strange is that they open up to your own interpretation and creativity. I.e. A weird mini = a weird paint job

God, that takes talent to make such a sculpt look right, I'd have gone for a traditionnal red scheme with orange dots or something. Most intersting thing is you even dared paint the eyes white with a black dot to match the original concept. He does look silly but the good kind of silly. I woul dhave gone for all black eyes but aftre seoncd consideration, his smile needed those eyes, good job.

First miss for me and I love pretty much all your stuff.
The eyes, the green, the head in general aren't working for me. My dislike could also be down to the sculpt. You sublte blending continues to kick all kinds of arse but this crab guy aint working for me. Ostrich long neck mutant on the other hand is the bees knees!

Really individual style, reminiscent of Blanche with a touch of Massimo Colombari - http://realm-of-lead-addiction.blogspot ... nging.html
Your style really lends itself to the miniatures you have painted, mainly that of chaos! - Really great to look at, refreshingly different approach.
I would be interested to see how you paint a figure such as a standard space marine or human fighter - do you ever adopt a more realistic/less artistic approach?

Hi,
Porkaborg, Asslessman, Dooz, Suber, Rob_S, WhosJohnBlanche, clownshoe & skullhamma: Thanks for your comments and sorry for late reply from my side.
@clownshoe: Not sure how I would paint a non-chaos mini. Haven't done that in a while. Used to do quite a lot of random 40K minis and then I went for a really dirt battle worn look.
Thx!

Hello!
Not much online activity from me for a while. Too much other stuff at the moment I'm afraid. Managed a bit of painting here and there though and added a few more to the creature unit introduced here.
So here are four new - hope you enjoy!
Citadel Runequest: Demons, Rult: A great Runequest mini just perfect for a Nurgle army. Did it with more typical nurgle colors witch I think suited its ragged look.
Citadel Runequest: Broo / Beastman: Really cool Broo. Also added a nurgling to the base and got to paint a shield as well. Been a while since I done that. Kept the back & white approach. Quite tricky painting the shield as there where tiny reliefs on it demanding consideration. The idea for the design is the classic nurgle symbol where each relief is in the center of one of the three circles.
Citadel Runequest: Demons, Stalker: Another Runequest demon, this time a Stalker. Kept the palette very simple on this one.
Citadel Fantasy Specials: FS52 Large Statue: This is as the name suggests intended to be a statue. I thought though it would be perfect to this unit as an odd creature. Especially liked that it had a pedestal. Added something extra to the unit. Also on this one I kept the palette simpler focusing on light browns and blues/turquoise. The intention was to have a skin tone like feel with an added creepiness by the blues/turquoise. A little snake was induced as well on the mushroom (not sure which series)
Thanks!

Brilliant, as could be expected 
Love this style, simply looks incredible and unique on those old miniatures.
Your bases is something that also really sets your miniatures apart, could you share a bit of info about them. How do you sculpt and paint them
/Edit:
ok it turned out i had to look closer in the blog:
