This model is one of the 6 MK VII armour Space marines captains that were released in 1990, it is a super classic and, even if my paint job doesn't make it justice, I'm happy to have it in my collection.
I still have the Space Wolves one to paint and then I will have all six done.
I am slowly completing forces for the different factions of Battletech I have.
This is the turn of Comstar/Word of Blake, I had a few mechs painted the classic white of the militia, but I wanted to complete the level II of 6 mechs.
Since Comstar is known to still have functioning old tech, I included a couple of LAM mechs and other classic mechs that would have been kept in good state of repair over the centuries.
I always had a weird fascination for the Earth Tribes, I got in to Warzone towards the end of Second Edition and models were not readily available at the time, even more so the Earth tribes ones.
Last year during a visit to the Sentry Box in Calgary, I found out they still had a bunch of Warzone figures, so I proceeded to get as many as I could and it turned out that most of them were Earth Tribes models.
The Crescentians were the tribe I manage to get almost everything of, I will only need a Prophet and 3 Martyrs to have one unit or character per type, but I am pretty satisfied with what I found.
I started painting these models just over a month ago and it turned out that they are very intricate sculpts with a ton of details, so it took me quite long to complete them, but here they are and I am really happy to have completed them, not I only have to find an excuse to field them in a game or two.
This week just a few Warzone models that I recently painted.
I am currently working on the Earth tribes, specifically the Crescentians, but since they are very intricate models with lots of details, I needed a break and I painted something simpler.
In my effort to finish painting all the Battletech miniatures I accumulated over the past few years, here are 2 more mechs I just finished.
They will complete a lance of Draconis Combine 4th Arkab Legion I started a couple of years back (or more). I think these might be the very last Draconis Combine mechs I had to paint, the force is pretty huge by now and I doubt I will ever need more mechs for the DCMS.
This is a model I have owned for over 20 years, I figured it was time to paint it.
It is a very simple model, but I really enjoyed painting it, it brought back memories of 40K second edition, the one I played the most and the one I have the best memories of.
This week I only have a few little animals I painted for RPG and maybe wargames.
These are the kind of models I keep on the side of my painting area and when I have leftover of colours on the palette I paint parts of them, at some point I find they are done and I have extra bits and bobs to use in games with little to no effort, they might not be the best, but they get the job done on the table top.
These are a few pieces of sci-fi terrain I recently finished.
The Battletech buildings are made with orange juice bottle caps, I saw some similar ones online somewhere and it seemed such good idea, they took very little work and are very nice.
The pallets are from some note pads that a freight company gave us at work as promotional material, I just stuck some pipes and crates on them and gave them a quick paint job, pretty nice result.
These are a few more Warzone figures I finished recently.
The Cybertronic Chemiman was disappeared as a unit between the first and second edition of the game, I don't know if it was re-introduced in later editions, but I figured I could make up some rules for it or just use it as a Cuirassier, it is big and intimidating enough to pass for one.
The Sons of Rasputin are a nice faction from the Earth tribes, but I only have 5 models for them, let's hope I can find more in the future.
This is another set from Esci from those that my friend Felé gave me some years ago, it is not complete, but I still got two decent units in different styles of uniform.
These were a lot of fun and gave me an excuse to ready the Osprey book about this famous unit of the French army.
