Battletech: Dawn Guard

 It's been almost a year since I expressed interest in painting up a new Battletech unit for Alpha Strike called the Dawn Guard. A House Davion unit. The color combination really grabbed me.

So I have painted up a whole company this past week and I did them in a quick slap dash dirty look. Just wanted to get them on the table. They turned out better than I thought so I can't wait to get them on the table.

I had a little trouble taking the pictures as my light setup caused the yellow and white to reflect back and made it hard to focus. I muddled through and got them pretty decent. 

Twelve units done for the company, plus the awesome Rifleman below!!!

As always thanks for looking.

Age of Chivalry: Condottieri Army Italian Crossbowmen

Another group of dudes done for a friends Condottieri Saga Army. Just a few more to go and I will have the project completed.

Here are 18 crossbowmen. With all the assorted dress and no uniforms per say for the period it was hard to come up with a color scheme. So I decided I would break them up into three 6 man color groups and add some variation within each color group to make it appealing yet not drive me crazy trying to paint umpteen colors. 

I think I succeeded. Now he will be able to break them up into 6 man units, or combine the different groups to make a nice looking 12 man unit. 

As always thanks for looking.

BLKOUT UN Raid Force Alpha but this time for a friend

 A buddy of mine who doesn't have the skills had me paint these up for him. I didn't mind since it was a small group of figures, plus the fact I told him he had to play this game with me;)

So I painted these up a bit different from the ones I painted for myself, but I think they still do the job.

As always thanks for looking.

BLKOUT: Manticor Borz Group

 It's been about four or five months since I painted any BLKOUT models. So it was refreshing to come back and do something a little different from my last few projects. BLKOUT is an Ultra Modern, Science Fiction type of game. 

These models have been painted for me, just me. That always feels satisfying to say that. Not for this person, not for that person, just me. 

Here's a little extract about them.

"Manticor prides itself on physical strength, and their combat tactics mirror this. Implacable in their attack, layers of ballistic armor let the soldiers of the Manticor Borz Force shrug off hits that would incapacitate any other force. Practical and methodical, Manticor Borz may not be flashy, but they'll put you in the ground nonetheless."

You can see why I chose to paint these lads, they are my kind of boyz!!!

As always thanks for looking.

Age of Chivalry: Condottieri Army Italian Heavy foot

 Another installment of troops for my friends Condotieri Army. Figures are 28mm Perry's European Armies line. Have just a couple of more units to go. Chugging along.

As always thanks for looking.

Star Wars: The Spectre Project

 So the last few weeks have not been the greatest. Family events caused me to not feel the painting vibe and that's okay. Then May 4th came along and I decided to let the Force take me away from the real world events in my family and drift off into brush land. It's incredible how soothing painting can be.

So I've had these Star Wars Legion models, like forever, and decided to finally paint them up. Not using the rules Star Wars Legion, but instead Spectre. Will see how that works. I've quite a bit more to do but I'll get to them one day as I say I will... hopefully.

I present my first ever Storm Troopers, Some Rebel Pathfinders done in US Army ACU colors, and lastly Rebel Troopers in Jungle camo. 

As always thanks for looking.

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon.... The Broken Men

 I've added to my Border Wars collection today with 6 mounted Reivers. These are from Flags of War Border Wars collection and are called the Broken Men. Back from the war, destitute, and perhaps no large family name to lean on. They would rustle up horses, cattle, etc. to make a shilling here and there, or perhaps pick up a writ from the Warden to hunt down someone like themselves that have been causing to much trouble.

As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
