WWW2 Vampire-Hunter with no name
I have painted another WWW2 German character, I´ll use him as vampire/zombie-hunter. The miniatures is Krungen from Avolak Castings. I have included a comparison picture along with the other zombie-hunter (from Avolak Castings too) I painted some time ago, and some West Wind zombies. I´ll use them with Pulp Alley, Strange Aeons...

Alexander the Great
I don't think he needs introducing with that helmet and the leopard skin, but here we go, he is Alexander the Great from Warlord Games.

Philip II of Macedon
I have really enjoyed painting this miniature. It's one of my new
favourite figures. I have plans for one of these for my own collection,
not as Philip but as a Mythic Hero fighting Cyclops, Harpies and
whoever dares to stop in front of him. I think the pose is
fantastic. I haven't got any comparison pictures but when I paint mine
I'll take one. He is based on a 20x20mm base. Philip II of Macedon from Warlord Games. I'll leave his son for another post.

Recycling IKEA cardboard
I had to switch
rooms last week: That's good if you go to a bigger place, the problem was that
I moved to a room three times smaller than the previous one. The thing was that
there wasn't enough place for my paints and I needed a very fast solution so I
could start to work again. So no room, no money, no time... but a lot of IKEA
cardboard from some furniture. I decided to try to make some paint racks in a
very fast and cheap way, and as you can see in the pictures I think I got it.
The first one took me more time than I had planned because of all the
measurements and such but with the other ones I only spent one or one and a
half hours each. There are very nice commercial paint racks on the market but I
hadn't got any time to wait for delivery, and I couldn't justify spending £200 on
them.
Costs? Cardboard for "free" and 3 hot-glue sticks per paint rack. So if you have a bit of time and some raw materials you can do these.
I´m posting some WIP pictures and the final result.
EDITED: I forgot to post a picture showing the rear view. Please note that there are five vertical supports, that way the racks are strong. Another thing is that the cardboard corrugation should be vertical in the supports – that will make a sturdier structure. I think three supports would work well but I have preferred to use five because it holds 100 paint pots and that’s a considerable weight.

Caesarean Romans
I painted these Warlord Games plastic Caesarean Romans some weeks ago. There is material for several posts but in the end I decided all to go in one. I found them easy to paint
and I enjoyed it a lot. The scorpion and the command group wearing the pegasus
standard are metal miniatures. I have included a comparison picture with
another three Romans from other companies. Left to right: Aventine,
Warlord Games, Foundry and Wargames Factory.
