Yarr!
(Click for larger image.)
I think it was 1994 when I first got the Man O' War starter box. Now, 30 years later, I have finally finished painting all the models that came with it.
Elves are still in progress. |

| Thanks both. For the Iron Fist, I wasn't a fan of the second sculpt. The first sculpt is pretty rare though, so I ended up converting mine: https://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?p=484976#p484976 Yes, I saw those when I was looking around for pics of other painted fleets to gather ins... |

| Thanks, guys. And now for something completely different. I have to admit that my painting has slowed down quite a lot lately, and part of the reason is that I'm a bit burned out when it comes to painting Eldar. So in order to give myself a break and refresh my pallette (as it were), a few weeks ago... |

| Well, I've been a bit quiet on the painting front recently, but I have at last managed to get that Guardian Warhost done: http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/images/epiceldar/2022/guardians2-s.jpg (Click for larger image.) Probably a third warhost of Guardians next, although possibly I might do somethin... |

| Thanks, everyone. Well, as I observed in my last post, last month was Orktober, so it was time for a break from Tiny Space Elves: http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/images/epicorks/mekboygargant-s.jpg (Click for larger image.) This was essentially a test piece for the Ork army that I plan to attempt on... |

| Thanks. Yeah, I'm still pleased with how well the colour scheme came out on this army. Up next it's a Warlock Titan: http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/images/epiceldar/2022/warlock-s.jpg (Click for larger image.) This is another forumware piece. It also means that I've now painted all of the new stuff... |

| Thanks, everyone! So, as promised, here's a Guardian Warhost, with assorted weapon platforms: http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/images/epiceldar/2022/guardians1-s.jpg (Click for larger image.) I think I have five Guardian warhosts in the old version of this army, but I will probably limit myself to ju... |

Hmm. It's been a while, hasn't it?
However, I promised Striking Scorpions, and so here they are!

Next up will be Guardians. Hopefully before the end of the month! |

| I've only recently tried using contrast paints but I've mostly been pleased with how they've worked on 6mm infantry. Techniques like drybrushing, washes, zenithal priming and contrast paints all tend to be very effective for creating the high-contrast look that suits models at this scale. |

| I've been a bit quiet lately, but I have not been entirely inactive. I have been a bit more focussed on my BFG Eldar, but the Epic army has also received some love. Last month I painted up a third troupe of Falcons: http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/images/epiceldar/2022/falcon-troupe-3-s.jpg (Click f... |

| In theory, they should be quite poseable. The feet, shins and thighs are separate pieces and the hips, waist, shoulders and neck are all ball-and socket joints. However, if you wanted to put it together in a pose other than standing fairly straight upright, I suspect you'd have to do quite a bit of ... |
