Harpies

 These scantily clad girls are from raging... heroes. They are vey detailed and statuesque and easy to assemble to boot. I'm painting them for a dark elf comission
  


For these elfs I'm going for a Dejah Thoris vibe

Battle of Ancona

 In this ancient battle the forces of the republic under consul Atilius Vulsco face the nefarious epeirote invaders commanded by that sellsword, Pyrrus
 Pyrrus leds his elite companions
While Atilius commands a roman legion 
 The romans move against the enemy left
 Companions and tarentines move forward
 Equites clash against light italians
 Routing them from the field
 The Legions move ponderously forwards
 An ill concieved move spreads confusion through the ranks
 While the companions charge
 And are pushed back
 Another charge of the cavalry kills some romans
 Some cretan archers are run down
 The combat against the companions become a slow grind, with the epeirotes having the upper hand

 The left equites destroy a second unit of peltasts

 The tarentine cavalry is caught between the equites and a legion and destroyed

 However a legion is also routed by Pyrros
 Two legions led by Vulsco charge the phalanx. destroying one half
 The unstoppable companions smash the depleted equites, these guys are tough as nails!
 Fruitless roman attempts to destroy the cavaliers

 The romans have a slight edge and with a final impetus, Atilius Vulsco rallies his men and destroys the last phalangites, winning thus the game
Boy, was it close...

Hot Stuff

 I've made some volcanic terrain for the Signus campaign, the craters are made with insulation board with cardboard for the ava and putty for the joint. Escher for scale

Nighthaunts 2

 In the day of the conmemoration of the resuretion of Our Lord I've finished the last spoops for the Signus campaign, now I've only to paint a bunch of plaguebearers and an unclen one (sigh). These are really detailed models and the second iteration looks better than the first as I did the highlights on the ragged robes followed by the light effects. I'm gonna go to the comission backlog for now.

Nighthaunts for Signus

 My next project is the Signus prime campaign from the Heresy, I need some daemons and my friend Costa has lent me some AoS spooks and nurgle stuff. These will have rending and flight.




Inquisimunda rules drop

I've added some Inquisimunda homerules to the present Necromunda: Underhive to spice things up for an upcoming campaign

Slann Mage-Priest

 The leader of the lizardmen, this is a model that has aged well and has a surpising level of  3D detail for the sculpts of back then. Painted in striking purple and gold plus turquoise for the temple guard as per the client's request
