Traitor Scum

2018? Well, I told you this was about procrastination...

Going through the miniature gaming related photography on my hard drive,  it's become apparent that I've fallen for the allure of the larger scales in recent months, namely for those ghastly 28+mm figures. Not that I moved to a bigger apartment, or found a pocket universe in which I could store more hobby stuff in my already cramped apartment, mind you...
Bought some boxes, tried some games from some pewter dealers and plastic pushers in Nottingham...
One of those was Mantic's Vanguard, the skirmish appendix to their Kings of War. I collected and painted two warbands for that game - the Nightstalkers, a nightmare/Cthulhu lite monster faction in dark blues and purples, and the Forces of Nature, a collection of mythical beasts.

Here's some from the neighboring amphibian faction - the Bullfrogs of Barrowmaze available from Ral Partha:

And Foundry/Warmonger water nymphs:

I'm rather happy how those turned out - bright colours and bold brush strokes. Let's call it a "painterly" approach - the sort of painting I enjoy the most if I manage to get in the zone: thick paint, applied in a wet-in-wet technique.


I didn't completely forsake my smaller scale figurines though, here's some chaos knights from Magister Militum - that was the original plan: to have my fantasy in 10mm, single-based.
