What have I painted?!?

I have no idea what this is!

I bought this one at ebay some time ago...don't know the race, don't know the company, don't know the sculptor...

I thought it looked quite cool nonetheless and painted it up... I have even put pictures of it on Oldhammerforum, and noone there knows what it is either!? So this is your chance to proove how much you know about minis! Do tell me, if you know anything! :)

It came on an integrate base and earlier on it might have had some kind of mark beneath the base... it had been removed with a knife before I got my hands on it.

So... what is this creature?!?!

Dragonbait cleric and old lead

I do still paint...

Recently I finished this one - a cleric sculpted by Kev Adams for the dragonbait indiegogo campaign. I quite like it. It has the classic old school feel to it, that Kev Adams do so well.

 

I tried to keep the colourscheme muted for this one. Think it came out ok. It could be a cool cleric character or npc in a roleplaying game...

I have painted some really oldschool miniatures as well... But haven't got any  photos yet.

And I have been buying more old miniatures...

I have been looking for this miniature for a long time...unwilling to pay the buy-it-now prices at ebay... This one I got from Battlefield Berlin for 10 euro... fortunately the blister is broken, so I won't hesitate to  unpack it :)

GF 16

Back from Giant Fanatic 16

I have been to a real tournament, and I have actually played Blood Bowl!

Here's a snapshot from one of my six games during this weekends Blood Bowl tournament. Notice the cool field made by Sonny Bundgaard. In this match my tactics worked out perfectly: injure the oppponent and then go score a touchdown. I made 5 casulties against this proelf team... The match afterwards I managed 8 casulties and still lost 1-0... Had some real bad luck in between injuring slanns (.. ok I admit - I wasn't quite sure about how to play those slanns...and unfortunately they turned out to play quite good).

In the end I came up fourth with 3 wins, 1 tie and 2 defeats.. I did however make the most casulties (23) and won best painted team as well... (again, admitted - blood bowlers don't seem to spend as much time painting miniatures as they do drinking beer and talking footballtactics)

I played with this team - FC Tusindmus:

 

Saturday was fleamarket-day as well... and I ended up with this lot of miniatures:

 

Was it worth some 21£? I did try to haggle...

All in all it was great to see some action, some incredibly well painted armies at the warhammer-tournament, and I really want to paint some more miniatures soon :)

Jes Goodwin ogre

The c23ogres (I believe thats is, what they're called) are among everyones favourites... They are simply excellent. A job well done by Jes Goodwin...

I bought this one at ebay some time ago - great miniature. Painting it up went ok I think, though I'm not sure I understand the pants...I think I maybe have painted something like pants that weren't meant as pants... Jes Goodwin, could you please clarify to me, what the loinclothes between his legs are meant to be if not pants? :)

  

The horn emerging form his forehead is a great idea. Love this sculpt!

I would really like to have some more of those ogres... there are some great personalities among them :)

Of course I have bought lots of other stuff, which may turn up here on these pages... - I can mention an ambull, two fimirs, some sort of slann and a totally unknown (to me at least) miniature... and then I couldn't help myself and backed the Mantic dungeoncrawler kickstarter... eventhough I'm rather sceptic with the miniatures from Mantic...and kickstarters... 

Another ewal dvergar

An ewal dwergar from Clams range of multipart chaosdwarves.
I feel this one is so much more me than the chaos dwarf Sweyn some posts ago. But enough of that.


As I'm home taking care of my 1-year old  untill he can start in daycare, I  do have the time to trawl the internet for miniatures to buy, though I do not have the time to actually paint them. So he and me has been to the postoffice several times to pick up daddys packages lately... and will continue to do that in the time to come - a real daddy and son thing :)

I couldn't wait any longer for the goblinaid miniatures - and even though the complete range wasn't out at the time, I  placed an order for some goblin goodies. We picked them up this morning, and they are really nice models. I bought the 10 I liked the most, and they are surpringsingly nice sculpts.

I also found some real Kevin Adams blood bowl goblins that looked quite cool. I hope we can pick them up at the postoffice next week or so.

And I have an additon to my spacehulk collection of odd sci/fi miniatures... more of that soon.

And theres the ebay miniatures... :)

And Reaper bones... has not arrived yet...

Nor has the Otherworld adventureres...

collecting miniatures... and a painted gobbo

A little in between paintjob -  Another Kev Adams gobbo:

Looks more mad irl :)

While I try to focus and paint something, I often find myself trawling ebay and other sites for interesting miniatures... I have done that for years... And even though the mountain of lead keeps growing, there is always a miniature I really can't carry on without. I know many fellow leadheads feel the same way, and I have always enjoyed reading wishlists on blogs - Hoping to find something I already had on other peoples lists, but more often finding new minis i ought to have.

It seems to change over time which models I have a craving for... But some models keep nagging me.

One model I really would like is the limited edition Fimir... I placed a bid on one some weeks ago, but it annoys me to pay overprice for miniatures, so I didn't get it - part of the sport is getting them at a good price.

Another model I have been looking for is the little gw Jabbervocky - But again, I hesitate to pay the price ebay demand... not sure the model is actually that good :(

I have also dreamt about the zoat with the staff for many years - but isn't it really small? It seems odd and tiny next to the normal zoats... Or is it just me?

Speaking of zoats... more fantasy zoats would be nice... and ambulls.

And the mutated ogre would also be nice to have... as well as the other Goodwin ogres...

There are so many more miniatures I would love to have. Can't name them all - I often find myself falling in love with a miniature the second I see it well painted :)

Off to ebay...
