the League of Thousand Sons

-

to coincide with my Knights of the Crescent Moon,
i ordered some Gripping Beast Arab spearmen and archers
plastic sprues from Ebay.

i painted a few with firearms,
but in the future i might go with some bows and hand weapons.
i do want to create some characters.
i did make up one but the miniature is not it's final model.


even though there is not much to guard above ground,
appearances are deceiving.




ladders are used so it isn't easy to enter the area.


the proxy of a character i created called
the Black Scorpion.
once i get the proper miniature for this character
i will reuse and rename this figure.


with each plastic sprue there were two hooded head options,
all of the members of the League of Thousand Sons
have their faces hidden.


atop of the main building,
statue of the mythical Manticore.

operation MotU: wave 1

 so begins a great adventure.... when i bought the CMON Masters of the Universe board game i knew what i was getting myself into. but over time i didn't realize what kind of pile of shame i would have. so i thought instead of being overwhelmed with what i should paint first, i thought i'll paint what the original toy-line was back in the '80's starting with wave 1. wave 1 consists of He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Stratos, Battle Cat, Skeletor, Mer-Man, Beast Man, and Zodac.  i painted them like the original cartoon or close enough to it. Heroic Warriors He-Man is the alter ego of Prince Adam and also the twin brother of She-Ra. He-Man and his friends defend Eternia, the secrets of Castle Grayskull, and the entire universe from the evil forces of his archenemy Skeletor. Man-At-Arms is the primary title of Duncan. The role of a Man-at-Arms was to advise the ruling planetary monarch and the Royal Guard on military and police affairs. Teela is the Captain of the Royal Guard a

continuing working on my orc warband. once again i continued using the slapchop painting method just to get several more painted in a short amount time. since i am using two sets of the Wizkids orc box sets i will have multiple orcs with same armor sculpts and weapons. when i painted these guys i mainly used a red and green for any cloth on their armor. i did convert some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another figure armed the same way. with several of them i used a lighter to some what melt and soften the plastic to either bend wrists/hands holding weapons or even clipped some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another. the orc warband lead by the self proclaimed king of the orcs, Grishnug. which was the name of my orc hunter from back in my days of World of Warcraft. ( edit: several days after i made this post i got the rest of the Wizkids orcs finished. in all of their glory, the entire w arband. ) the orc king leads a few into battle against a huge spider

pulp heroes and villians

 here are some pics of several miniatures i have been working on these past few weeks. a mixture of rugged heroes and sinister men of the Ahnenerbe. i bought several packs of the Gestapo from PulpFigures.com and wanted to do something different with them instead of making them like normal Nazis officers and soldiers. so i thought since i'm gonna play a lot of sci-fi material i'll play them as a secret agency of paranormal research within the Ahnenerbe. and then along those i acquired several unusual miniatures that would fit perfectly in either my Nazis soldier set or my pulp heroes i had going on. when painting the Nazis miniatures i did the red armband but haven't gotten to the white spot and swastika symbol yet. some of the members of the Parable Custodians are about to ambush a few of the Nacht Jagers. Stahl Mask escorting a few members of the Fuhrer's council. members of the Knights of the Crescent Moon patrolling the streets. Günther, a member of a "successfu
