Duelling Gamers May "The werewolves" ooowwwwwww

I was in a little rush to get some stuff done at the end of April but was gently reminded to keep the pace steady. So I slipped into doing some other miniatures and clearing the desktop so as to paint the upcoming Zombies. Well it is now time to show off the May Werewolves.

You have seen these before, black undercoat over the hard resin like Mantic Plastic.

The complete unit of Mantic Werewolves, in this case used as Crypt Horrors for a Vampire Counts army.

Werewolf Number One, there is a small issue with the plastic that these nasty beasties are made from in that it is actually a little bit brittle. I broke the hand off with a drop from about 1.5m. doh.

Number 2 love the animation of these miniatures.

Number three. It is a little hard to tell but there is 5 + coats of various greys and blue greys with a little highlighting. Got to sort out my photography skill and get a cheapppppppp light box.

The Mantic Zombies. For those of you in the know there are a couple of Mantic Ghouls in here to as I want to do some very minor kit bashing. I actually really love the zombies as they are probably the best of the older mantic undead with, I know it is hard to believe but, a lot of animation. Or should that be re-animation.

Some of the May desk clearing again. 1/100 scale Zvezda  Panzer 38Ts I really like these little models and they make great editions to my new Battlegroup Barbarossa rules. I just need to find some red number decals....any thoughts out there please, as I need a few? 

This was the piece that inspired my above purchase. Second hand fully painted from CanCon around $5.00 from memory. I think it is a GaModels resin piece but I am not sure. I also picked up a 35T as well but it is not much chop really but I will use this one.

 

 

 

Well club update is a non-event this early as I completely forgot to take photos which is a pity as there where 2 large roleplaying games happening, Pathfinder and Saga StarWars. Plenty of Magic The Gathering gamers, 2 games of Bloodbowl and a 40K marine vs marine slugfest. Sorry lads that your pictures are not immortalised this month. I'll try later.

 

Duelling Gamers, what is next on the plastic pile to paint

Sadly as I have just about all the miniatures I need for the painting/gaming competition I can leap ahead and pull out of the box the next toys to apply a lick of paint to. Well I say sadly because my next foray puts me around $39.00 into next months Au $100.00 GW equivalent spend. I have some of the mantic werewolves that I bought along with their excellent Kings Of War Kickstarter campaign. These will work as ................werewolves (nice guess) in Kings of War but will have to be either Crypt Horrors or Vargeists in Warhammer Fantasy at the cool price of $79.00. With my $40.00 spare from this months spend I am now over budget, ouch. I'll leave you, the audience, to decide should they be Crypt Horrors or Vargeists?

I also have a catapult nearing completion but this must be excluded from the competition as I had built and part painted the silly thing prior to the start of the competition and well nothing like it exists in the vampire counts army list so sort of irrelevant except it is a nice model.
