These are really cool models, I like that they dont have a bunch of extra bits

Yup, no assembly for these guys either, all I added was some sand on the bases and could paint them straight out of the box.

Finished the last Red Cap mini- the Crucible!



Basically this mini is the Lord of the Rings Cave Troll scene, but with its back being the uruk-hai mud pits from Isengard...



In game the Crucible not only spawns units of more Red Caps onto the battlefield once other units perish, but it can also literally throw them across the battlefield towards oncoming enemies



I do love the Red Caps hitching rides on her



She turned out good enough, great army centerpiece!

I love every single bit of it
Also really great paintjob.

Spoiler: also got a beach gaming mat!

 

[Imrahil]

That is an amazing looking pack of models. Top notch!!

Love the scenery and gaming mat, really sets the scene of the battlefield.

Grrr, !mrahil

Full Red Cap Collection!



As much as I really wanted to take my Lizardmen to Adepticon this year to be my Frostgrave warband, I pivoted to these guys instead. Always wanted a batch of Red Caps to paint, glad Corvus Belli came through for me with these guys.

Just a few more spellcaster pieces to put together for the warband and I will be ready to go.

Next project to smash out before Adepticon (its less than a week away) is some old (and a few new) Cryx models from Warmachine that have been burning a hole in my pile of shame for at least 6 years. Its been a while since I painted these guys, all the way back on page 25 of this thread!

Spoiler: WIP cryx

Cryx minis WIP, either done or yet to come.

I am doing a new approach to the faction, as much as I enjoy the look of the previous minis I painted for Cryx it was not much fun to paint. Plus I have been inspired recently to do some work based on another artist I found on instagram.

Spoiler: Cryx previous color scheme and new inspiration

Here is the previous battle-box I painted in 2020:



They look fine... but the lines were a pain in the butt and I don't want to do this again.



Inspiration came from @Wubswammers on instagram and his awesome Dark Mechanicum:

I started with the glorious Pistol Wraith, perfect 2D metal model from classic warmachine:



Next up are two warjacks, had to get these guys right and I love how they turned out. They read "ghostfleet" to me thanks to the way I painted their heads, just what I was looking for.

Erebus Helljack (Cryx Heavy Warjack)-

Spoiler: Erebus Helljack

Corruptor Helljack (Cryx Heavy Warjack)-

Spoiler: Corruptor Helljack

Turns out great. Really like the look of this guy. If anyone remembers Bionicle, his head reminds me of the Bohrok swarm.

I realized today that I hadn't updated the index on the first page of this overblown thread for about seven years........

....so today I went back and updated it! It amazes me how many projects I have worked on in the past few years. Since 2020 alone I have painted over 1000 models ... and I am happy to say that I have improved in my abilities since then!

I updated the blog scroll on the first page too, here side-by-side comparison of progress over the last few years.

You can really see the improvement! I love the samurai jack model and the blimp.
