Tobias' Wargaming Legacy¶

Tobias was one of my regular opponents back in the day, but real life etc. made him loose the righteous path :-( He now only has some of his painted favorite models on display but does not game anymore.

Recently he cleared out his stuff and found some unpainted minis which he offered to me. When I asked what I have to pay, he only wanted to see pictures of them painted. Thank you very much :-)


[Terrain]¶
Modular Fence System¶

I finished the last 6 straight pieces. One has an 8cm wide door (allowing 4 20mm bases abreast to pass), the other two have a 2cm wide door.

Next up are the corner segments.


[Warzone]¶
Warzone Brotherhood Sacred Warrior¶

To reward Tobias with a picture if his lot of miniatures as soon as possible, I started with a single miniature, the Brotherhood Sacred Warrior.

First, I removed the paint of the half-painted model. For this I sprayed the mini with oven cleaner.

After ~20 minutes I scrubbed the mini with a hand brush, which removed about half of the paint.

After a second treatment with the oven cleaner and a hand brush colour only remained in the recesses.

These last remnants I removed with a hobby knife while also removing the flash lines Tobias missed back then.

Finally, the model was basecoated with 74.602 Black Surface Primer from Vallejo, brushed on in two thin layers.

Warzone Brotherhood Sacred Warrior¶

I started to paint the model. I decided for black clothing and red armour with gold decorations. As shading colour for the red I decided for green, which is the complementary colour to red. The black will also be highlighted with green to tie the areas together.

Board and Miniatures¶

Some progress on the blue team, base colours are applied.


[Warzone]¶
Warzone Brotherhood Sacred Warrior¶

Next step was to paint the holy book of the Brotherhood.

It was washed with Secret Weapon Washes Sewer Water, then highlighted with the base colours.

The brown was washed a second time with Sewer Water.

A final light layer of the base brown was applied as highlight.

The metal received a final edge hightlight of silver, all as of yet unpainted areas were repainted black.

The tubes were carefully highlighted with a light grey and a fine brush.


[Warzone]¶
Warzone Brotherhood Sacred Warrior¶

The tunic and gloves I wanted to keep black, for highlighting them I choose green for the tunic (the same colour I used to shade the red) and brown for the gloves. Both colours were mixed with Matte Medium and water. I then glazed the colours onto the raised areas in 2-4 steps, slowly building up the highlights.

I am not quite sure how to do the base yet, so I just painted it grey for now. The model is done.

It always amazes me how many colours I use with just a single model...


[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Dwarf Reinforcements¶

The flash is quite easy to remove, the only problematic part ist the back where a round disk is found (I guess this is from the casting process). I cut it away then scored the flat surface to immitate the chainmail... quite rude but I hope it won't be noticed when the minis are painted.

As was usual in a certain period of Games Workshop (3rd to 4th edition), I got some metal miniatures (from Ral Partha Europe) to use as the commmand group with the single posed plastic miniatures.

I covered the slits in the bases with a paper strip before gluing the models to the bases.

From brass rod and some GW Dwarf bits I still had in my bits box I built two banner poles for the crossbow units.

As banner bearers I used the plastic spearmen.

The bases are covered in sand, these two units are ready to be base coated.
