Marauder Slayers

I have had the entire range of Marauder Slayers since their release and have enjoyed each and every sculpt...they are all unique and full of personality.  IMO they are the perfect slayers...lots of interesting hair and beard combos plus great weapons and expressions.  Here are 5 of the slayers painted up as disgraced members of my other dwarf units...hence the fact that the little clothes that they have left reflect the color schemes of my other units.

These you will recognize from my header...

Cheers,

5 MM90s

The Marauder MM90 Chaos Dwarfs are my all time favorite chaos figures from the Warhammer range.  Here I present 5 of the 24 figures from this range.  I have a number more painted but need to finish up shields and get better pictures of them...so keep your eyes peeled for more here.

As you can see I'm painting these in a fairly old school style with bold individual color schemes for each model.

Cheers,

The Start of an Orc Horde!

The Chaos Dwarf warband that I am centering around my Marauder MM90s will contain a fairly large number of Greenskin allies (slaves) including, gobblins, orcs, and trolls.  The Orcs pictured here are the start of those allies...some heavily armored Marauder Boys from the MB2 Regiment and few MM25 Orc warriors mixed in.  I really like the "Hun-ish" feel of these guys and like all the Marauder sculpts they are lot of fun to paint up.  I still need to find a few more these figures to complete my unit...so if you have spare MM25s ...or those skull shields please let me know...;)

Cheers!

Here is something a little different...

In the Early 1990s Citadel produced a small range of "River Trolls" ...and I have always loved sculpts.  I've had one of them since their release date but never painted it...so for one of the Golden Hat contests on CDO I decided to paint him up.  I was so pleased with the results that I quickly went online and tracked down the other two...who are now waiting patiently in the Lead Mountain!  There a ton of fun little details on these guys that make them a joy to paint.

Here is the completed River Troll:

Cheers!

Puff and Slash...Ogres?

I recently got my hands on some figures that have been eluding me since my youth....the Marauder MM41 Ogres...to go along with the MS4 Ogre hero that I've had since my childhood.  What makes these particular Ogres so interesting is that they are dressed in the Puff and Slash style...and you know I'm a sucker for that!
Here are 5 of the 7 Ogres sculpts with the hero in the center.

Empire Reiksguard

In addition to my many classic Marauder and citadel dwarfs I also have a love for the 3rd edition Empire figures that citadel produced.  The army that I am working toward is a combination of both dwarf and human elements...brought together by a largely Puff and Slash aesthetic. 

Here are some Reiksguard Infantry...the heavily armored elite of the Human Contingent:

 

Cheers!

Marauder Dwarf Handgunners

For the July painting contest over at Bugman's Brewery the subject was "A Squad of Rank and File"...this means a small unit of 5 figures which may include a Champion.  I chose to paint up a group of Marauder Dwarf handgunners...some of my all-time favorite sculpts.  At the request of several members on that forum I also Posted WIP pictures showing some of the stages of my painting process....I thought these would be good to share here as well.

Here is a picture of the Primed Models:

here are the figures with their base colors added...you can see that I start quite dark:

Here is a mid process shot:

This picture shows the models needing just their final highlights:

This Shots shows the painting finished...just the bases left to complete:

And here are the final Completed models...ready for the table!

Now I only have 25 more of these to do!   **sigh**

Cheers!
