Warhammer Quest : Catacombs of Terror

 Hello guys!


Coming back to fantasy stuff, I bought (without my knowledge) the Warhammer Quest, Catacombs of Terror (1995), along the main game a few years ago... One of the luckiest ebay purchases of my life :)

So I have original floor tiles, cards etc, but not the book . I printed a modified copy of the book translated into Spanish by fans, and I also had most of the metal miniatures of this game, like the necromancer Gunther Laranscheld, which was painted this week.






the original tiles



Spanish fan made book, profesionally printed.




I also was in the desperate need of evil minions, like several skeletons, and had none of them, I studied the alternative brands out there, and chose plastic skeletons by Wargames Atlantic. I am quite happy with the quality of these undead minis, they definitely do the job for my games.
Their aesthetic is ancient greek, but I did not use the more bronze age or greek stuff, and used just the bows and the spears with GW shields and GW decals on them.

The painting was ultra simple; I bought the "new"  or new for me, Citadel Contrast paints, and I am happy with the result. I am a traditional painter, who likes triads, and several highlight layers in my miniatures, but for some excepcional cases, like this, I can go for Speedpainting.

After priming in white the miniatures, I splashed on the Contrast color, then when the paint dried, just did some drybrush runs with bone and white colors and "Voilá" skeletons painted !

I hope you like this little update.

Cheers!

Yet another classic 80' Chaos Warrrior

 Hello guys,


I painted this Chaos warrior of Nurgle in December, but with the Christmas holydays and a trip and other real life stuff, I did`nt manage to update the blog until now, late January 2024...

What to expect from this blog in the near future ?

Well, I am painting now some III c. Romans and I have played several games of Warhammer Quest, so some miniatures of fantasy will come here in the near future, some Sassanids too, and of course, my beloved XVII century stuff like 30 Years War and 1670-90' miniatures for sure.

Coming back to our Chaos warrior, It is a 1980' miniature by Citadel , of course.

I used Vallejo paints, Goblin Green with ivory in a lot of consecutive highlights in a "Foundry triad" style painting. 

As I don't play Chaos, this miniature, along the previous post's Chaos Warriors, is for Warhammer Quest games.

I hope you like this tiny update.

Oldhammer Chaos Warriors for Warhammer Quest

 Hi again guys,


I have just finished a couple of veeeery old Chaos Warriors from the eighties, I want them as enemies of the adventurers in Warhammer Quest. I will paint at least a couple more warriors , amongst them, the famous "Slambo" with his two axes... Here you have a catalog  with the miniatures, sadly I paid  more than the 1,95 pounds for 3 miniatures !

http://www.solegends.com/citWDAds/citwd1986/images/WD818609p58CWarriors-01_01.htm

I am really having much fun playing Warhammer Quest lately and I desperately need more (painted) enemies to fighy with, and a random event card with 1D3 of 3Chaos Warriors will decide the game at certain points, or they can appear at the main room of the dungeon, protecting a Chaos wizard or something like that.

I am new to painting Chaos warriors and this kind of armor, I like more the result of the black armor using edge highlights of grey over black on the left warrior, but the full metal armor guy on the right wasn`t too bad, I painted him much quicker, also using drybrush with lighter shades of steel and silver paints by Vallejo Model Air. 

I really like the style of the Oldhammer miniatures, I know modern sculpted plastic Chaos warriors are bigger, better sculpted, with a lot of details... but I still love these models, maybe because of nostalgia or becuase they have a special flavour that modern 3d designed miniatures lack.. I don't know, but I will stick to these kind of models for my games, as long as my pocket can hold!


I hope you like this little update. Cheers!

Warhammer Quest: Witch Hunter & Heroes

Hi guys!

After painting the Warhammer Giant, just before the summer, my mood turned into a more "historical"manner. This changed last weekend, I had a miniature laying around during months, and I really wanted to paint it but never find the right moment, until now ;)   Warhammer Quest Witch Hunter, a fantasy XVIIc. style miniature, with a lot of detail and crisp details. It has been a joy to paint, and I'm pleased with the final result.  I used mostly Foundry paint triads, Vallejo model color, some Citadel paints ( I tend to use lesser and lesser Citadel paints, due to their tendency  to dry in the pot...) then I applied matt varnish from Ammo Mig and Voilà!









I will use this guy, apart from Warhammer Quest heroe, as a hero for my Oldhammer Empire army, and my future Mordheim  Witch Hunter warband :)


And I found out a couple of Heroes painted last year but not yet photographed and uploaded here, so sorry for this, here they come, my Dwarf hero and Barbarian!

The Dwarf iron breaker is from Warhammer Quest core set (1995!) in plastic, a nice little miniature that painted up quite nicely.



And regarding the Barbarian, I simply did not like at all the Barbarian included in the core game... I may paint it in the future, but for gaming purposes, I painted a different Barbarian, a guy from the mountains of Norsca, similar to the Barbarian featured in Warhammer Quest pc game (or IOS game), with more agressive and mature look. I tried to paint some TMM (true metallic metal) In the sword, but, as you can see, I am very far from master that technique haha, I am not very used to paint with those fancy styles, but sometimes I like to try "new" things. I hope you like it!

Projects for 2019!

Hello all mates,

9 months have passed since I started this blog, In these months I have been posting miniatures painted by me, either recently or in the past few years.  In 2018 I have painted 77 miniatures (horses included)  in 28mm scale, plus scenery and some vehicles in various scales... (compared to 68 painted in 2017) This year I will try to beat my record!

What can you expect from this blog in the next months?  Well, I have several "active" projects (and several inactive too !) So here you have a little preview of what is going to come.


HISTORICAL

- I will finish a Spanish Tercio, the "old Yellows", Tercio Amarillos Viejos or Tercio of Burgos, so my late XVII century army will be expanded.

- I want to base a couple of units painted for me by the very talented Toby, from Artmaster Studio;  The French Guards/Gardes Françaises (circa 1667-1680) and the Spanish Trozo de Extremadura/  Extremadura cavalry "regiment".

- Base and make "playable" my 30 years war armies, Spanish and Protestants.

- Weather my (half painted) Stalingrad Flames of War German Panzers! (I go to Stalingrad this summer, so my "hype" is increasing!

- Start painting any unit for the "War of Devolution" 1667-68 project, although I have already some valid units for this project. I want French King's Musketeers, more Spanish horse and foot for 1660', French/Scottish Dillon's Regiment, etc...

- Maybe starting a Portuguese army for their Restoration or Independence War, painting command groups for my existing TYW units with interesting English regiments from their Restoration period.

-Post more pics from my Late Roman and Sassanid Persian armies, and expanding them.

-this is an open list, probably I will add a high number of random posts of historical miniatures!😉

-Byzantines ??? When Aventine Miniatures decide to sell them, I definitely will buy them for my Army of Belisarius !



FANTASY


-Continue with my Warhammer Empire army:  War Wagon, Knights, Pistoliers, more infantry...

-Start an Oldhammer Orcs & Goblins army

-continue painting Warhammer Quest miniatures.

- Mordheim: finish my Reikland Warband, and start a new one!

-Painting more scenery (Tabletopworld!!) and scrachtbuilt.

-Warmaster 10mm miniatures? I had enough miniatures for at least an army of Orcs, and some Empire troops...


Some random preview pics of some things to come :

Old school Greenskins (WH/ Warhammer Quest)

Hello everyone, I am still in a "fantasy mood", I have played two games of Warhammer Quest and frankly, It was veeeeery fun, we played with the role playing rules and we liked it a lot. So I have painted some examples of Orcs and Goblins for 2 purposes; Playing  Warhammer Quest with painted miniatures, and besides, starting an Orcs & Goblins army ( 5th or 6th edition).

In the previous post you saw one of my heroes, the Wizard, and now some of the evil guys. I have used early 90' plastics, some of them included with the boxed game, but I am collecting more miniatures, metal ones from the same period.

´ere we go!

common orc boy


common goblin


Black Orc


arrer boy


night goblin archer


plastic goblin fanatic



my first ever painted orc (some years ago) Big 'Uns in metal



Non GW orc, this is a Black Tree 28mm Orc, good value and nice miniatures.


My orc "army" So far... they will become an army, I hope, and a Mordheim band too !
