Nick's painted minis

[annihilate]

Well there doesn't seem to be too much activity here in the Warzone section, which is a shame, so I figure someone has to commit and it might as well be me. Thought I'd start posting my painted Warzone models! All of my models I bought many years ago when the game was new have been stripped so I can paint them better, so I'll post more as I finish them.  

Here are a couple I painted a few years ago. I don't plan on painting their bases like this anymore, and I certainly don't put the effort in taking pictures like this anymore haha! 



A Desert Scorpion hero with the best sci-fi weapon ever, the Deathlock Drum! I promised to paint this for a friend, because it was actually his figure, but I liked it so much that I bought it off him instead. 



A Free Marine HMG specialist. I wrote "HATE" on his shoulder because I had a really hard time getting the right shades of green for his pants, so I thought it was an appropriate slogan. The "VI" on his knee is a bit of a trademark of mine, it ends up on a lot of my models.

I have a Bio-Giant that I painted recently, so hopefully pictures will find their way on here next. After that, I have about 100 or so Warzone figures laying around that I hope to start painting soon.

As promised, the Bio Giant! It's the original one too. A friend of mine got it in a trade years ago, and has just been sitting on it unpainted and unassembled ever since. I finally managed to pry it away from him haha!

I really thought because the model was so big, it would paint so much faster, but I was wrong. Because of it's size, all of my painting tricks didn't really work; I had to add another layer and colour or two for everything. The only thing I didn't like about the model was that the resin was really hard to drill pins into for the spikes and because it's really just one solid piece, it was hard to hold and not rub paint off. Other than that, I LOVE this thing!

Here's my stockpile of Warzone (and some Chronopia) models that's going to need to be painted. I think the only force not represented is the Dark Eden stuff, but that will come in time.

It's been awhile since I've updated, so here's Ragathol! I finished this model awhile ago, but almost ruined it when I sprayed it with a matte varnish on a hot day. Luckily I was able to save it by spraying it with a gloss varnish on a colder day, and then finished it with a matte varnish. I really enjoyed this painting this model, I think it has fantastic character, but it really took a lot longer than I thought it would. The model itself is fairly large, so it took a few more shades to get the skin to wear I liked it (just like with Bio-Giant.) That being said, Warzone models are wonderfully simplistic, and are a real joy to paint.

You’d never know it from what I’ve posted so far, but Bauhaus is my first love. I think it’s time I started painting an actual working Bauhaus army, but Dark Legion is just so much fun to paint! I just might paint some Necromutants next...

Beautiful painted minitures mate! Keep up the awsome work
I would really like to see some Bauhaus since they have always been my favourite faction ^^

Thanks a lot! I really enjoy painting random one-off models, which is why Dark Legion is so much fun, but I'm really warming up to the idea of sitting down and working out a Bauhaus force and starting work on it. It's a big task, but I love the models so much.

This is awesome. I joined the forum to say excellent work. I'm looking at collecting Imperial again. Such a cool universe...

Hey thanks a lot! Glad you liked them. I love Warzone and Mutant Chronicles, I was so happy when I found out you could still order the stuff new from Prince August.

Oh man, I came back to find out that my pics were no longer working (d**n Imageshack!) so I re-uploaded them! Need to start painting some new stuff!
