Abyssal Dwarfs

From Mantic Games. I was hoping to use them with Fanticide.

Hoplomachus I

Hoplomachus. This miniature was a Black Tree Design hoplite but I though he would be a good gladiator.

Gone with the Wind VI

And the last one from  Blown by the Breeze, as they call this miniature set at Architects of War, "the Woman". And a Group shop. I enjoyed a lot painting them.

Gone with the Wind V

The fifth one from  Blown by the Breeze, as they call this miniature set at Architects of War, "the Man".
 

Gone with the Wind IV

The forth one from  Blown by the Breeze, as they call this miniature set at Architects of War

Gone with the Wind III

The third one from  Blown by the Breeze, as they call this miniature set at Architects of War.

Gone with the Wind II

The second one from  Blown by the Breeze, as they call this miniature set at Architects of War.
 

Gone with the Wind

Or Blown by the Breeze as they call this miniature set at Architects of War. This is the first one of six miniatures there are in the set. I'll post another one tomorrow.
 

Changes and more changes... good I think...

As the title says things have been changing very fast these last few months (hence the lack of pictures of painted stuff). I'm about to move house and city. I'm getting use to a new lifestyle being a father and such (a crying baby... and that sort of thing). With all this the inevitable has come - I'm going to stop taking on commissioned work, so I'll finish the already commissioned stuff and I won't take anything else (at least for the time being). The good news is I can paint more stuff for myself not just one miniature from time to time (or that's the plan anyway).

To celebrate that... here are some more pictures of my Martian Invasion project. There are eight more of these Martians from Red Planet Miniatures on the painting table.
 

Japanese officer on Mars

This is the first of a group of miniatures for my Japanese Mars Invasion Force. He is an officer from the very nice Boshin Wars miniature range from Bac Ninh Miniatures. When they release infantry packs I'll be sending some more troops to Mars, but for now I have the officers.

Thraex I

Thraex from Crusader Miniatures.

Roman Marine I

Or my first ludus guard. He is an Aventine Miniature Legionarie. There are some more on the painting table.

I'm ready to go shopping now

Today I wake up in a Samurai mood and I think I'm ready to go ASDA/Sainsbury's (as Lone Wolf used to do, although his trolley was cooler!!). I’ll take the baby out of the trolley before putting the food in.

This is one of the Kingsford Miniatures heroes from their Samurai Heroes set (featuring Zatoichi, Yojimbo and Lone Wolf and Cub). They are very nice miniatures to paint. I had the chance to paint the whole set, and if you were lucky enough to be at Enfilade last May, maybe you played with them (DeanM, did you see them in person? I read on your blog that you were there!!).

Murmillo II

Another Crusader murmillo.
