Some storm troopers from the 90swere finished a while back. Think I forgot to post them. My troopers got some serious support now. All I miss is a hellhound and a Griffon mortar. Bought an incomplete Valkyrie some years ago I was thinking of making some terrain of. So last month I took the plunge and built it it. The base is cardboard with wood filler covered in sand. Cut some strips to look like parts of the cockpit. Nothing fancy here just enough so I had the energy to actually finish it. The most important part. I also bought a lovely Predator box. Didn't get the Predator itself but got only the box which I really like due to the cover itself. It's adorable right?

Numenoreans and Moria goblins







 Finished my Moria goblins this week. Really basic paintjob except on the drum and the odd detail here and there. These are mostly plastics but with 3 metal archers and drummers. Had about 18 old ones I did years ago so with these I certainly have a little horde. Will add a Goblin king and a cave troll soon.
Having seen Fellowship of the ring in 2001 I always wanted some numenoreans after seeing the battle of Mount Doom but never got around painting any but all that have changed and I even got Isildur, Elendil, 2 captains and 2 banner carriers on the way. Quite easy to piant just need to vary the black a little. Got a load of 1st age Elves on the way too. They need basing and undercoat. I also ordered some Garrison of Dale and Hunter orcs on Wargs this month. Got so tempted after seeing the new Dale stuff at Games workshop.

Easterlings and Haradrims.


My evil horde grows. I finished the easterlings the other night and now have a rather large allied horde for Mordor. They truly add some colour to the otherwise brown and black units of the Dark lord. I'll add some corsairs in the future and perhaps some more elite units for Haradrim. Some Abrakhan guard and Suladan would be nice. 

Imperial Bastion


Finished the paintjob on my Bastion last night and it worked really well with just drybrushing. I could have done a ton of more details but thought I keep it simple. Some 3d printed boxes and barrels was used for details. This will fit really well on my trenchboard and is perfect for the coming plastic kriegsmen.
Cheers!

Haradrims and some terrain.


My Haradrims are finished. They look rather nice and it was fun to work with contrast. Will sure do it again on some other stuff.
Also finished a few sets of terrain pieces I built a year or so ago. They were just drybrushed with some minor washes here and there. The body is from a parfumebottle with sand added instead of heads and arms.

Afrika korps, Easterlings and Praetorians


So I've been a little productive and manage to get some stuff finished and some stuff are nearing completion. The Praetorians are finished and turned out rather nice. Very pleased with the Mortar. Always fun details on those old minis.
My Sdkfz 7 is finished and I'm not sure if I will weather it with powders or not. Quite pleased if how it looks right now and I'm not very good at uisng those powders.

Sdkfz 7 and Flakvierling



So last night I started painting my Sdkfz 7 with a flakvierling for my DAK army. The model is from Rubicon. A little tricky to assemble the flakvierling. Sadla I got a rather thick undercoat on the crew but they turned out alright anyway. Got 4 more to assemble and paint for the gun itself. I used both the crews in the set and had to take 2 arms with rolled up sleeves from the perrys 8th army set. Fit rather well scale wise.

Haradrim Raiders and Easterlings.

So started on my long forgotten lotr minis. Just went for contrast to ease the paintjob or else I'll never finish them. Quite nice minis but it would be nice to see some new ones from GW especially the foot troops. Anyhow bet they'll look great when finished. Especially the easterlings in their red and gold uniforms.
Cheers!

 Hello!

First out in this post is my Winter germans from Warlord. Did finish these last fall but don't think I've posted them here. Did try out a new face paint tone which I thought looked great at first but now I think it looks awful. Haha!
Also almost done with my US army. This army was painted in about 7 days. Mostly used washes and only 1 basecolour. So glad I painted these. They've been nagging at me at the painting queue. I threw myself at my 8th army support weapons to. Mostly washes here too as I did the other 8th army dudes with washes. I will certainly paint like this in the future. So much easier to paint.
