I can't believe it's been almost ten years since I've painted any figures to my undead collection. There was a time when that army was the most important and expansive army I ever had... But I've been lost in Bretonnia and the Empire and Chaos and sports and D&D and Zombicide for the last ten years that I guess I just couldn't squeeze in the time. Anyway, the undead standard bearer is the latest addition, a figure I absolutely didn't need but just wanted to paint because I always admired it but never had it until now. I really thought this figure was the best figure I'd seen to date when it was released in 1997, and I still think it captures something that its descendants have yet to capture...

For the second unit (of three) I decided to put in a little more effort and outdo the previous knights and I htink it went well. Inspired by the Swedish colours their shining barding is definitely a bright eye-catching contrast. I also took a picture of the knights along side some 5th edition Warhammer Bretonnians for scale comparison. Check out the images in the Bretonnian Image Gallery.

These ones I spent a lot of time on the shields, pants, and armour and I'm happy with how it turned out for sure. They look great, better than the previous unit I did, but will still look good beside them if I ever create a full unit of them for Old World or something... in any case, check out the images in the Warhammer Goblins Image Gallery.

This week in the Battle Masters gallery I've added two more units: the second unit of Imperial (Bretonnian) knights, and the second unit of Orcs. I spent a lot of effort on both making them look better than the first of each types of units. I'm pretty happy with the final result too! Check out the images in the Battle Masters Image Gallery.

These Chaos archers from Battle Masters are really Chaos Maruaders; back in that time the Chaos faction was made up of drop outs and derelicts of the human empires, and really modelled after punks from the punk rock era. That changed later when they reimagined Chaos as a Norse-inspired faction, which kinda makes sense when taken from the perspective of the Christians in Europe during the early middle ages. So before Chaos marauders were turned into shirtless, horn-helmeted, Viking-inpired warriors they wore mohawks and were also still mostly shirtless... Anyway, it was with the release of the new Darkoath Marauders that really that I decided to paint these archers for Battle Masters. Before that I was going to replace them with goblin archers... but then when GW went back to the punk-rock inspured mauraders with the release of the the latest AoS Darkoath faction I remembered how awesome punk-rock Chaos was and here we are! The next batch will have LGBTQ+ pride inspired hair. In the mean time, check out the images in the Warhammer Chaos Image Gallery.

Working my way through the green skins for Battles Masters, I finally finished off the wolf riders and started the sword-wielding goblins on foot. It's been years since I started this project and it has inched along... but it's turned the corner and we're on the other side of it... Only a few more units to go! Check out the images in the Warhammer Goblin Image Gallery.

In Battle Masters game there are four units of knights, and three of those look a lot like Bretonnians. Technically that game was created at a time when Bretonnia and the Empire were kinda conflated a bit, and so it's not too surprising that there were early-medieval barded horses along side the Renaissance-era armoured soldiers and horses of the standard Old World Empire faction. But I digress... I have finished three of the 'Empire' Bretonnian knights from Battle Masters and uploaded the pictures to the Bretonnian image gallery. I enjoyed these more and they were easier than I remember Bretonnian knights being! Check out the images in the Bretonnian Image Gallery.

I also updated the Battle Masters gallery with the latest Bretonnian unit. Check out the images in the Battle Masters Image Gallery.

I wasn't looking forward to painting orcs to be honest, I don't really like the Warhammer style orcs, and these old Battle Masters ones seemed to be the worst of them... I get it though, I know that some people really love the Warhammer Orcs, and hold them dear, but they're not for me. That being said, that doesn't mean I can appreciate them for what they are and enjoy the bright colours and rediculous proportions! I decided to go with an old-school inspired colour scheme too! Check out the images in the Warhammer Goblins Image Gallery.

I also updated the Battle Masters gallery with the latest units that I've completed! I'm well on my way with this project! So far it's only about four years in the making! Or maybe five... Anyway Check out the images in the Battle Masters Image Gallery.

Loving these figures from Battle Masters and Hero Quest, and also painted up one from Khagra's Ravagers because I liked those ones, they really are a modernization of the old-school plastic Chaos Warriors. I'll use these figs for Battle Masters and also Warhammer the Old World for sure. Check out the images in the Chaos Image Gallery.

I was totally dreading painting these of all the figures in Battle Masters - arguably worse than the Chaos archers - because they seemed so uninspired and poorly detailed and also tiny compared to their later Warhammer versions. When I started painting them tho I realized how great they are! The detail is so crisp on these, nice lines, great sculpts if simple. The detail is great, just too shallow for GW's current contrast paints, but still good even for drybrushing! I also love the blank shields, so much opportunity for free hand!
