[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.

[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
An der Fähre Village Guard¶

It took another flu laying me down before I found the time to continue on these models...

I slightly changed the background part:

What is now called "An der Fähre" (At the Ferry) started out as the cottage of Karl Ruderer, who operated a small ferry business at a infrequently used travel route in the Hegemony. When the neighbouring barony imposed taxes on the trade of pigs (any connection with the baron's son marrying the daughter of the largest pig farmer of the barony were of course purely coincidential) more and more merchants dealing in pigs started to use this route, circumventing the tax imposing barony, soon small queues started to build on both sides of the river, which soon let to inns being opened; shortly thereafter smiths settled there, food was needed so some farmers joined... and very quickly a village formed - named after the place it is situated at - the ferry.

The Bürgermeister soon was forced to spend money on a permanent village guard, as drunkards needed to be arrested, disputes between merchants needed to be deescalated (especially when the merchants employed caravan guards) and raids by bandits needed to be stopped.

The core of the village guard is a company of halberdiers.

The flag of the village is

showing the animal on the ferry that made the village. The colours of the two halves of the flag as well as the uniforms will be pink (representing the pigs) and blue (representing the river).

There is a mix of uniforms currently being worn, the old one (left in the picture below) consisted of pink trousers and a blue blouse. As the guards were often teased with wearing their pajama trousers, the uniform was changed to both trousers and blouses being halfed in blue and pink (right model). The company is in transition of style of uniforms, so you can find both variants among them.

Current status is the blue and pink having washes applied.

I started to practise the coat of arms freehand, but I still have a way to go...

[15mm IABSM]¶
South of Cherbourg¶

I started to paint the US Army miniatures. With the Brits and Germans I used techniques I usually use on 28mm miniatures, and it took forever, including, especially with the Germans, painting burn out. For the US guys I plan to use a much quicker approach - base colour and black oil wash.

The miniatures are now drying, having had a gloss varnish coat applied, tomorrow I will see if the simple wash will satisfy me.

Colours used:

• 70.846 Mahogany Brown (boots, pistol holsters, helmet straps, knife scabbards)
• 70.873 US Field Drab (trousers)
• 70.988 Khaki (jacket)
• 70.821 German C. Beige WWII (anklets)
• 70.886 Green Grey [50%] + 70.820 Offwhite [50%] (webbing, backpacks)
• 70.818 Red Leather (rifles, spades)
• 71.073 MM Gun Metal Metalizer [70%] + 70.521 Metal Medium [30%] (rifles, spades, canteen top)
• 70.815 Basic Skintone (skin)
• 70.887 Brown Violet (helmets)
• 70.975 Military Green (grenades, binoculars, radios)

[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
An der Fähre Village Guard¶

I painted the flag, basically using the same colours as for the uniforms.

I then tried to paint the coat of arms onto the flag of the trumpeter, as well as the bodice of the two leader models. Well... this is the third try and I will leave it at that, but I am not really happy with how the pig turned out...

Last thing was to give the bare brown weapon shafts some grain. I painted medium brown lines lengthwise, leaving about the same amount of the dark brown basecolour. I then painted light brown lines within the medium brown lines. Finally I touched up the dark brown basecolours and disrupted the medium/light brown lines here and there.

Only the bases left to be done!

[15mm IABSM]¶
South of Cherbourg¶

I applied a black oil wash, the result is basically fine and I will go with this simple base coat / oil wash procedure, but I need to make it thinner, this first batch is way too dark. I removed some of the wash with a cotton but, but the overall effect is still too dark.

Current status:
