They are my second crew in preparation for the first one being killed on the Space Hulk. I am liking these so much that I might run them in tandem, a race to scavenge the most from the ship.

 

[igirisujin]

nice crew ^_^ that's an old Kev Adams Painboy isn't it?

That it is.

 

[twisted moon]

i look forward to seeing them in a future battle report, then.

Brilliant! Love the surgeon and the engineer is a favorite I'd love to get hold of myself.

This month I delved into my lead pile and decided to paint some ninjas. Not my best work, but they will do.

 

[EricF]

Brilliant colours. So nice to see brightly painted Ninjas for a change. I've got a couple of those models in my pile and am now wondering now if I should make mine similar bright colours when I eventually get to them...

 

[ManicMan]

they look nice.. model wise, look like a mixture of japanese, chinese and indian. Shinobi (later referued to as Ninja due to chinese language mixing complex stuff) has a range of colours but artisical has been seen as just black.. but since they more often then not, were disgused as civillians and stuff, a range of colours is perfect. of course, even in japanese culture, they romantisice shinobi alot.. but i fine western stuff likes to more have them as superheroes ¬_¬;

anyway.. nice work on the figures

I couldn`t face painting a load of black figures, and with this colour scheme I can use them in WFB, Rogue trader, or in my Superhero rpg gaming. I say you should go for a bright colour scheme.

Growing up during the ninja craze in the 80s means my views of ninjas are definitely on the superhero side if things. I am lucky enough to have gone to the Iga-ryu ninja museum in Mie prefecture, for a museum it does buy into some of the romantic views of ninjas.

ohh nice, Never gonna be able to travel to japan or anything, but is someplace of interest. Being that Kawakami is the worlds last ninja, it's a very interesting place. unrelated but would love to go to the Tezuka musuem too.. big fan and annoied with the lack of english language releases of alot of his stuff (though it is changing over the last few years)

 

[twisted moon]

excellent ninja.

For my next round of painting I have actually painted some pre-slotta figures.
Here are some more of my Dwarves, I have hit the half way mark 25 left to complete the 50 odd I have.

I also found a few moments to painttwo C46 villagers.

looking at the last image i need to brush off the excess flock.

 

[twisted moon]

good stuff; it's particularly nice to see some civilians.

 

[symphonicpoet]

That group of dwarves is quite fun. Love the yellow and black on the shields. Brings them together nicely without being too uniform or distracting. (Allowing them to feel like characters.) Well done!

Cheers. That was the look I was going for. I am trying to make my dwarves useful in both rpgs and wargaming without them looking to similar to each other.

Building up my militia forces.

 

[igirisujin]

A life elemental joins the death elemental I painted a while back. I struggled with the face, it is not perfect, but it looks fine from three foot.

 

[igirisujin]

Here are some more figures I finished today.

Hobb a bow man to join my mercenaries

A woodsman

A Kelpie from Oakbound studios, a lovely figure that has sat in my lead mountain for too long.

 

[inchmurrin]

An eclectic and interesting selection, I'm not at all sure about the Kelpie as fitting my idea of what one looks like. However Fimm does have amuch better grasp of these things than me!
