Twillight

Twillight - a skirmish game of muppets fighting little dinosaurs...


Ok, I admit, I haven't been reading the gamedescriptions very closely - Instead I have been looking at the miniatures, most of them sculpted by game designer Mike Thorp himself.
I painted one of Mikes early miniatures (the space pirate 'Stalks') some years ago - and liked it very mush (still do) - therfore I was quite thrilled when he came up with a new range of miniatures to go along with his game Twillight - (not the vampire-thing!)
When he asked if there was anybody who would like to paint some of the miniatures for him, I wrote him and offered to paint a couple of the cute little fellars.

Necromancer

An Avatar of war necromancer.

This paticular Avatar of War sculpt was a big disappointment :( Earlier I have painted the dwarf slayer and the gobbo, both great sculpt with lots of fine details. This necromancer looks almost like one of the old 'flats'(!). If I hadn't replaced his scythe with the astronomers globe he would have been totally 2d. All of his equipment (skulls, bags etc.) are nothing near crispy and sharp - the casting made me think of the home-casted miniature I did with Prince August moulds when I was a kid (ouch, am I to harsh now?)... no sharp edges there either.

I will not recommend this miniature to anybody. That said, I think It got better once painted, if I am to say it myself :)

A game of Space Hulk

As I don't have any new sparkling minis to show right now (Well.. ok, that's not quite true, but the photos wern't good, so they'll have to wait a little) I thought I would show a photo of a game of space hulk I had one cold winternight...

... Alas! My gloriuos legions of genestealers lost to those 5 (five! only five!?!) &/¤#&/ terminators...

Centigor

Something new! A commisioned centigor - customer wanted it to have the classic white skin I have done on quite a few models over the years (including a centigor several years ago). It did however turn out to be harder and more timeconsuming than I would have thought. My plan was to get a relatively monochrome pale look with a splash of bloody red. In the end I think I succeded ok though.

The base i a resincast done by the customer himself - it looks cool... might want to get some for myself :)

Giant Fanatic

Just a little write about last weekends Giant Fanatic - large warhammer event here in Copenhagen. Apart from all the warhammer mayhem (about 200 players total), there also was a painting competition, which used to be quite popular and hard to win. This year, however, there were only around 15 entries, and my troll dragon got second to Tue Kaaes aboslutely terrific dragonogre. That earned me this beastman-bust... I'm considering to paint it some time...

Blood Bowl skaven

Here is the blood bowl skaven thrower I spoke of earlier. He is meant to play for the same team as the black orc below. he is for a customer, and I hope he will give them some teammates to play along - it could become a nice looking team, I think.

Blood Bowl orc

Not feeling very productive these days... But none the less something is getting done. This is the first bloodbowl-player for a customer who wants a mixed team. I don't know wheter there will be more to come for this team... there might be a skaven coming up... But we will have to wait and see.
I'm quite pleased with this black orc feller...
