Tiger Claw Space Marines

 

Welcome fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

This will be my final post for 2024, so fitting to FINALLY post the Tiger Claw Space Marines I have been working through the year to paint.  Not claiming they are all done (still many primer coated minis and vehicles in the box yet to paint) but I was able to get a substantial number of them painted.  I polished off the final mini for the year today, the Tiger Claw Librarian below.

The list of completed minis goes as follows:

Two Predators

One Rhino

One Razorback

One Devastator Squad (10 minis)

Two Assault Squads (w/ jump packs) (20 minis)

Two Tactical Squads (20 minis)

Two Terminator Squads (10 minis)

Librarian

Chaplain

Regarding the decals, I tried creating my own waterslide transfers, but failed epically.  So, I printed them on paper and applied them to the vehicles with wood glue over the paint.  Initially, I did not leave a large black space around the icons, but added them on later iterations, so some of them are not quite 'round' but I think I hid them well enough to pass.

Also, as far as the squad icons, I used the 'up arrow' for Tactical, the 'triangle' for Devastator, and the 'X' for the Assault squads.  Made it easier to paint them on.  BTW...the Tiger icons on the marines are all freehand paints as well. 

Hope you all enjoy!

Stay safe, have a Happy New Year and Best Wishes in 2025!

Until 2025...have some pork, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes!

GAME ON!

Just wanted to say thanks to my technical crew as well.  Sammy (Orange Tabby of Terror) on 'Scenics' and Ollie (Brown, Tan, White Tabby of Fuz) on 'Layouts'.

Stone Golems - Dragon Rampant Army of Anubis/ Scorpion King Army

 Welcome back again, fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

The clock is running out on 2024, and I am working hard to post what I've finished this year.

The latest addition to my Army of Anubis/ Scorpion King Army for Dragon Rampant is a unit of Stone Golems, made by Reaper.

Some of you may recall that I had previously painted four of these for my Dragon Rampant Stone Giant Army.  Looking at the two armies on my bookcase, I realized that the paint scheme on the Golems matched the Anubis Army colors, so I figured I just paint up four new ones the same way and base them for the desert. 

They were also a mini project to clear my head from the multitude of Tiger Claw Space Marines and vehicles I have been painting (ie. a seemingly endless project)!  I will have those I have painted posted as well before 2024 ends.

Hope you enjoy the pictures below...until next time...GAME ON!

Warzone Brotherhood Pilgrims

 

Greetings fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

Well, 2024 is quickly winding down and I'm playing a bit of catch-up posting some minis I had completed.

First up is an addition to the Cardinal's bodyguard.  I was able to find 4 additional Pilgrims to add to the squad and have painted them up.  I also touched up the previous pilgrims, adding some additional detail.  

I'm only counting four of the models below towards my count for the year, but I'm happy to have completed them.

I'm working hard to get the rest of the new troops painted this year posted before the stroke of midnight tonight!

Until the next post...GAME ON!
