old Citadel Chaos Snake Men

-
recently received a handful of fantasy miniatures from a good friend and to my surprised,
in the bunch were several very old Citadel figures.
these miniatures were out before i even played Warhammer back in 1996.
after doing some research, these miniatures came out in 1985.
they were called Chaos Snakemen.


 while i was looking these up on the net, was hoping to find a pic from an old Citadel catalog.
to find a catalog pic like this was really cool, knowing these came out when i was five years old.



matching the miniatures to the pic i was missing only one,
the S'lon Life Smasher.
but to be honest i don't mind. just having these is a real treat. i love old Citadel miniatures.


to be honest the sculpts were a pain in the ass to figure out where armor ended and other pieces of clothing began. but overall i am pleased how these came out and hopefully i can have them on the table soon.

    Nicely done dude! The red suits them and gives a nice contrast to the armour.

more Blightlords

was able to two more Blight Terminators completed this week and also get a game of Battlefleet Gothic in before the weekend was over. like the Champion before i gave this particular Terminator a nice dose of Nurgle's Rot paint along his hanging entrails and elsewhere. kinda messed up on the helmet eyes but then second thought they sort of look like bug eyes so i didn't really make a fuss of it. with the Nurgle's Rot i made a nice puddle of ooze on the base to make it look like he is leaking really bad.  side views of the bolter arm and plague axe arm. i only oozed up the blades of the axe and very little on the axe itself, i didn't wanna make it a total mess.  few work -in-progress pics  this fellow is my first of three Terminators with magnetized range weapon arms. this Blightlord with be armed with a Blight Launcher and then also a Combi-Plasma Gun. more to come with this project.. three dow...

sci-fi industrial terrain additions

recently i made some small walls and few larger walls out of MDF square bases i had on hand that i wasn't going to do with. i decided to glue them together and paint them to go along with my already terrain set i have for my sci-fi pulp games. several pics of works-in-progress. used 25mm MDF square bases and glued them to cut pieces of an old fabric cutting board. with the larger wall sections, i used 50mm MDF squared bases and used a disposed receipt tape spool and a glued 20oz soda bottle cap on top. with not much attached to anything else, setting up obstacles and fortifications are always gonna be something different each game. reasons why i really like how these came out. even had a go at making doorways which they came out alright i guess. another pic with a different layout.
