Citadel C07 Ranger - "Hunter"

Citadel C07 Ranger - "Hunter"
 
 
Painted earlier this year, this old miniature of mine which I purchased in the 1980's. It came from the Citadel C07 Rangers range, circa October 1985. With Frostgrave been popular, I had to paint it with a winter, snow theme & racoon tail on head gear.

Citadel Runequest Box 4: Beast Men - Minotaur with Battle Axe

Citadel Runequest Box 4: Beast Men -  9.Minotaur with Battle Axe

Bought on eBay last year. Always wanted this minotaur. It came from the Citadel Runequest box set 4, Beast men & it was No.9 in the set - Minotaur with Battle Axe. Sculpted by one of the Perry twins in the 80's.

Citadel C04 Thief - Rownald Byggs

Citadel C04-43 Thief - Rownald Byggs. Again bought on eBay.

 
 



Used Grant's house colours of purple & black, which I think suit the miniature. I also decided to paint a mole on his upper lip & give him an unshaven look.


 Really happy with this.

So this bring me to the end of 2016 which hasn't been a great year. So I thought better upload most of the miniatures I painted this year.



Citadel C02 Evil Wizard - Necromancer

Citadel C02- 02 Evil Wizard - Necromancer. Real old miniature bought on eBay this year. Really happy how it turned out.


Appeared in the Citadel Compendium 1 as a drawing. Second on right top.



Taken above to show first use of cracked earth medium which I think enhances the miniature. Lovely miniature & a pleasure to paint.




Harlequin/Black Tree Skeleton from the mid 1990's.

Harlequin/Black Tree Skeleton from the mid 1990's. I'm sure this is the manufacturer of this skeleton.


I haven't painted a skeleton in a very long-time, so this was my first foray into painting bone. Also used a bit of khaki in the bone paint. I also wanted to have a nice rusty armour & mace. Think both rust & bone works. Happy with the results.



Harlequin/Black Tree Skeleton is now available in a horde from Northstar figures. Here is the link

Games Workshop Fenrisian Wolf

Games Workshop Fenrisian Wolf.

After seeing this wonderful tutorial: http://paintbard.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/dire-wolf-aka-fenris-wolf.html.



I though lets copy this with a few adjustments. In addition I used my airbrush. Didn't realise until now that my camera picked up the dust on this miniature. Need to retake some photos without dust.






Got to say very happy with the paint job, I achieved. Excellent plastic miniature from Games Workshop Warhammer 40K range.

Reaper Miniatures Ranger 02918: Mason Thornwarden

Reaper Miniatures Ranger 02918: Mason Thornwarden. This is the second version of this miniature. I think it's larger than the standard 28mm. Took me ages to paint this & I don't know exactly why. In the end, I'm okay with the paint job I did.
