Latest Project - War for Independence

In my 50+ years of painting wargame military figures I've paint many armies. Ancient Egyptian, Roman, Dark Ages, Ancient Chinese, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Samurai, Lace Wars, Seven Years War, Napoleonic Wars, War Between the States, Colonial Wars (My first armies were African Colonial- Zulu, British, Boers, Arab and French in Jack Scrubby's "N Gauge."), the Great War, the Banana Wars, Second World War, Korean War, (I lost friends in Vietnam and have never been interested, apart from a few character pieces, in painting that sad conflict) Science Fiction and Fantasy. More than 30,000 figures sized from 6mm to 100mm+. Yet I never covered the American War for Independence in large numbers. Well in honor of the 250 Anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence that oversite is now to be addressed by my new project-the 2000+ figures Revolution! from Warlords "Epic Black Powder" series.

I was impressed with the set overall, although the lack of action poses for the line infantry is kind of nostalgic as it reminds me of the limited styles available in the late '60's and early '70's metal pieces.

Bases & terrain 

Colonials

British and European troops.

First up is conversion of some British Regulars into a Brigade of French troops. Here's hoping my old eyes can hold up painting these small guys.

You Want Fire-I'll Give You a World on Fire!

I am Surt-the greatest of all Fire Jotunn of Muspelheim.

When Ragorok finally comes, I will cover the World with my unquenchable fires.

All will feel my wrath as I lay waste to Midgard in the final battle.

Ragnarok will be the end of all and the beginning of the new, so it has been written and so shall it be.

A puny 25mm compared to Surt.

Pieces painted in June

Fist piece finished in June was this World War Two supply mule team.

Finished 37 pieces in June (I got hooked into binge reading the Dungeon Crawl series with Carl and Princess Donut-it really cut into my painting).

The pieces were: 2-World War Two; 12-Crisis Protocol including the characters Sunspot, Moondragon, Adam Warlock and Shang Chi; 6-40K orcs; 8-4th of July decorations; 4-16th Century Aztec/Mexica and 5-Fantasy including the Deamon Warlord

                                                 

                                             Last piece I finished was this Deamon Warlord.

Fire to the Left-Fire to the Right-In the Emperor's Name FIRE

                    

No matter who, where or what the enemy is, they will die in a hail of rocket fire. As we pound them with our wrath.

           

For we are the Dark Angels Terminators, we hate the foes of the Emperor with every fiber of our beings! Total obliteration of their bodies is too good for them. 

These are plastic pieces I painted for Richard's growing Dark Angels Army

Happy 250 USA

 

Green is Such a Beautiful Color of Power

Moondragon (aka Heather Douglas) is a master of psychical, and mystical powers, she can even transform into a dragon.

She is even excellent in most aspects of Martial Arts.

In the more mundane world, she is an acknowledged expert geneticist as well as an engineer.

As a firm enemy of Thanos, who she blames for the destruction of her parents, Moondragon will always join forces with those fighting him.

Moondragon is a plastic piece I painted in June.

Azoga Warrior Demon Prince

In all his brutal gory stand one of the might warrior princes of Hell-Azoga!

A master of pain as well as fighting, Azoga also uses his terrifying laughter to instill fear into his foes

Claws, horns, teeth, hooves, flail and even his clothing are all used in his horrific fight skills.

Azoga has never known defeat or fear, only bloody victory for his master.

Who will be next to fall before the mighty Azoga.

Azoga is a plastic piece I just finished paining.

Here is what he looked like before I started work on him.
