Lizardmen for Bloodbowl


Blood bowl Lizardmen
 All of them lined up
 A bit closer up on half of them. Second attempt on painting eyes. I have yet to actually try on a smaller human figure

Extra tokens that come with each team. Not sure what these would be worth.


Repaint of one of my First Miniatures ever



 I have always been fascinated by miniatures. The dioramas people create and of course the figures. I finally picked up my first paint brush and miniature in 1993-94 I think? Might have been 95. Not having any idea what I was doing and none of my friends interested I just started slathering on random paints I found at the hobby town USA where it all started. Now they don't even sell Minis last time I went in there. 
 Over the years I stopped painting and lost all my stuff. To this day I have no idea what happened to the tackle box I had everything in. This however was the one Mini I remember the most from those days. I fell in love with the shield. However it was a love hate relationship. I painstakingly tried to paint the interwoven parts on the shield. I remember messing up and repainting that damn shield at least 50 times.
So when I found this guy on eBay I bought him immediately.So I could enjoy some nostalgia while painting him up. The shield this time took me no time at all. I am also baffled at how it took me so long to paint the thing years back. It does represent at least to me my intro into the hobby and all the memories and fun I have had since.

Another set of Figs from this Years Analogue Challenge

For some more figures painted up for this years Paint challenge
We have a famous captain who only needs one eye to be a badass

 First time I have attempted actually painting an "eye" usually just do a wash and leave it. Couldn't do that on this model. I think it turned out great. Might be because its such a big eye though lol

I have been painting on this group off and on all through the challenge. Finally all finished up! So here we have these Natives from Firelock games.

 All of them grouped up
 Decided not to do any shade on the feathers. Left them very bright.


 Thought about basing them differently from the other blood and plunder guys I have. Ended up just going with the same base as the rest of the guys I have.


 the "leaders" from what I can tell.

See you on the beach

Some D-Day tanks and landing craft. At somepoint I will put on a big D-day battle with all my Flames of war stuff. I am not sure if I have enough of these minis to make it look epic enough yet.

I enjoyed painting these and probably the quickest things I have painted in a while as far as from when I started to when they were completed
Think the commanders that came with the tanks look more like Brits than the US Commanders. Guess they could be either though. I haven't put any decals on them yet for this reason and not sure if I am going to. May just leave them how they are.
Do I need more? More than likely I do...

Now onto the landing craft.



I already had 3 boats painted previously, However I never did paint the infantry for them. Since I was painting these other 3 boats and infantry. Just painted them all together to knock them out.

Always torn on whether I should base tanks on bases or not. So far I have not, and leave them as is for the tabletop. I think I will always question myself on this anytime I paint any vehicle smaller than 28mm
