Painted Kommandos

I finally got the first half of my Kommandos painted. I was a big fan of the metal Kommandos right from the get go and I enjoyed converting some plastic guys to match. The guy with my rokkit pistol is my favorite but I like the guy holding the pistol with both hands and the S.A.W. big shoota too! Five more to go including a Nob...

 

Eldar Smeldar

I'm still working on my Kommandos, so here are some older models tide over Mr. Blog. I painted up this Iyanden-ish Eldar Army for the Adepticon Team Tournament a couple of years ago. My teammates and I were of course, summarily stomped by various flavors of Space Marines all day. Fortunately we brought beer. I would like to add another 1000 points or so to these guys at some point, maybe when the next book comes out. There is a box of Dark Reapers calling to me from the basement.

 

 

 

 

Nimh-rods

I just finished these guysup for Joe at Mantic Games. He'll be using them along with the Corporation Marines to Demo Warpath at various stores and conventions. He'll be doing demo games at the Grand Opening of Dropzone Games in Glen Burnie, MD on June 23. Tom Gruhala, the former Manager of the Glen Burnie Battle Bunker, is opening Dropzone in the same space the bunker was in before it closed. "I'll show 'em, I'll re-open it my damn self!" He didn't actually say that, as far as I know, but I like to imagine he did.

Goin' Kommando

I put together a bunch of Ork Kommandos a while back and I think it is time to paint them... as soon as I finish these pesky space rats.

 

Dystopian Wars - Covenant of Antarctica

My buddy Jake and I started messing around with Dystopian Wars this spring. The rules have left us scratching our head a little bit, hopefully we can find some patient soul to explain the game to us. Painting the li'l boats has be good fun though. Here is my Antarctic fleet thus far:

Bottom Gun

This little Grot Fighta-Bomma is the other entry I brought to the Crystal Brush Competition. It had been sitting around half finished for a year and a half, it was nice to finally finish it. It was completely scratch build from assorted GW bits and styrene and painted in the same scheme as the killa kan I did for the Golden Demons a couple of years back. This guy didn't place in the Sci-Fi category, I brought a knife to an A-bomb fight. I actually built another one of these in sort of a MiG-21 style, some day I will paint it!

Greens and Grays

This is a bit out of order, but here are a couple photos of the first Shart I built. I also included a crappy iphone photo of the unpainted mangler squig.
