^He's probably been stuck in his little plastic coffin for such a long time. It's good to be properly (re)animated. Great work LL!

I like this miniature, too. He will be representing the Lichemaster in my Terror in the Dark quest.

Loose Loser":2lrc6ty7 said:Quick photo of my Blood Angels. Terminators and Scouts are stripped. They're waiting for better days hehe
I might put Vindicare assassin in this lot so they'll be around 1520 pts.
I don't think I'll bother too much whit these because once I paint my 3rd edition Chaos army I'll toss these in stripper ( not on one hehe ) and paint them over again in 2nd edition appearance so I can have proper fight with 2nd edition Tyranids that also waiting for better days.
But I think this year I'll paint 5th edition Undead ( practically 3rd, 4th and 5th edition Undead minis that came out before Vampire Counts 5th edition army book ) with occasional 3rd edition Blood Bowl and Warhammer Quest with monsters of level 1 and others ( I'll see what miniatures I've got so far ).
Blood Angels ( maybe I'll put banner or two and some chapter markings, I think it's fair thing to do )
Undead
What a lovely bunch. Just start to overhaul them in sense, goblin green bases with yellow drybrush. Some miniatures are missing as I didn't rebase them or I toss them in stripper ( Like Chariots and Horseman ). Next are shields and banner for Zombies. If I don't make them now, I think they got same faith as Blood Angel banners and markings hehe
Cheerio!
Where do you have the trees from?

They do need additional sealing ( at least in my case ). Seller is very honest one.

So... I did paint some minis but I didn't have enough force to photograph them. I'll do it soon. But must say related to paint stripping metal minis. I've tried nitro paint stripper, dettol, acetone, denatured alcohol, brake fluid. From all those, nitro paint stripper did the best job but had some struggles with enamels or some oil based paint. It always leaved shades of paint.
So I dip those mental metals in Rust-Oleum paint stripping gel. It's what body shops for cars ( of course ) use to strip paint from bonnets and all that metal parts. I did bought it for car related purposes but I was thinking why not dip minis in it. Results? I mean... they look like new. Mind you Dieter had rough time in Nitro Paint Stripper and he was all covered in dark shade with recces black and all that. Scrubbing didn't help. One day in Rust-Oleum and he's like new. Not to mention Fanatics and Troll. Some weird paint was there with even weirder undercoat. I even over paint some of those because it was impossible to strip paint from them, just fade it. Now they look like new.
Hope it helps to someone because I wish I knew this before. Odor is not even close to Nitro, Dettol or Alcohol. Fantastic product. However, of course it will soften/melt plastic in matter of minutes. Also reusable no matter how dirty it is.
Few pics. Next is photographing minis.

Biostrip20 looks great. We don't have it here but I should order one because it's little bit messy with oil, considering plastics ( since rust-oleum soften plastic in few minutes ).

My word! Didn't update this in a long time. Chasing me tail again with painting minis. Pics soon, just to check what's missing and all that. Got few goodies, must say.

Little bit of pics. Colours are nothing like but I do like these haha
Varag Ghoul-Chewer
Half of my Ghoul regiment.
Wraiths, few more
Of course, endless tail chasing, repainting painted minis that were painted and repainted before. Last time things like this hehe Did design shields in Zbrush and print them in resin but I don't like them. Swords also, some are designed and printed because there isn't enough swords in few boxes to make regiment of 20.
Will post more pics but these were within reach. Others are also within the reach but I'm afraid of touching them haha

Photo turned out better then those above.
I like how this one turned out. Best group of Trolls around ( Shakined Bone Bender, best Troll around ).

Was try out that Biostrip 20 but didn't have that much luck on plastics must say. Didn't try out on metals as I use that Rust-Oleum, but I'll try once I find where I put that jar.

Goblin Doom Diver is next. My brother painted but all minis are painted by him or by me, so it doesn't really matter.
Photos are better then ever haha but I do like them.
Goblin Wolf Riders
I'm fascinated with photos. This one looks like photography of the photo of the mag cut out.
Rock Lobber. I do fancy blue one.
Carrion
Now something for the sake of forum haha
Birdy Birdy Birdy. I do like this mini.
Cock-a-Trice or was it Cockatrice? But do like this one also, and casting is very interesting one. One piece except the wings. Very nice. Even I'm not big fan of bases that are souped up, I do like how this came out. Was trying to get close to that of 5th edition Chaos Beastmen. I do like those and it's the top I would do on singles and regiments.
Of course! Posting pics and not showing that many Lees? 10 More Lees but I lost the track what I photo before so I'll group them for now.
Zombie Regiment with Zombie Champion ( ex Empire Hero, of course ). Commission from Morley. Didn't paint the original green, casted in few resins.
More pics later as I have to find background for it. Would be strange to photo abominated WHQ minis on the hill with blue sky hehe

So... WHQ. I still think the best miniature in the box are those door frames.
Bases on Warriors are simple GSW round lip bases and that stone thing is "sculpted". I've used Tamiya Quick Putty, and it's fantastic. Hardens quickly. It's not elastic as green stuff, got feel that's more like Milliput but very precise like green stuff. Ones it's hard it's feather light and plastic feel.
Bases for Monsters are simple GW 25mm but I did make pawed stone 2mm caps in Zbrush and then print it and stick it to the bases. But, must say I've lost little bit of interest since I'm looking at 70+ minis and bases to paint, touch up and all that stuff.
Didn't photo all 12 of Skaven as they're all as one. Did one test Bat to see how it looks with pin in the back and I like it. My style of stone painting is something to wish, to be different hehe
Other Heroes are waiting bases, so are the Monsters. This 4x4 floor tile was made with some sort of insulation thin foam. Works nice.
Got some more but they are half regiments, unfinished and floating around this and that, so... That's that from me for this year haha Oh, will paint that Skaven chap for Golden Gobbo, but that's that for now.
Cheerio

Love that model! It was one of the first metal kits I ever got from GW. Mine is painted red, of course, as the box art cover was. My distant self was not capable of painting it half as decently as your's is looking, though.
Also like the other minis, you have a striking, bold colour choice!

Cheers,
I also like this Rock Lobber and was looking at box art and all that, always red and I do like red one but after so much looking at the red one I think I got feeling as I've already paint one haha So did the blue one that I also like. Was thinking dark green but since Orcs are green, might be little much. But must say, it was pleasant nightmare to paint it. I would also like to point out that, weight really works hehe
