Greetings fellows, I have three more Eru-Kin to share with you today – these are the last three basic troopers. These guys share the same body as the second set of three that I painted up, but have bare heads, so they add more interest to the group. I persevered with purple, blue & a khaki green skin tones:
I love how they look amused when viewed from the right, and evil when viewed from the left :-) I just have some sergeant types to finish and then I’ll call this phase done with three squads of five, but don’t worry, I have many more to add to the spawning in the new year!
It hasn’t all been about the Eru-Kin since my last post – I also did a bit of building for Azazel’s ‘Painting Decemb-uary’ challenge. The aim is to finish up a ‘big thing’ that has been sitting around waiting for paint. Trouble is I didn’t have anything suitable in the queue, so I had to delve into the lead pile for something to tackle. The choice was made for me when I spotted my Death Dragon from Grenadier Masterpiece Editions… I’ve been putting off getting started on this wee beastie for ages – it is a huge piece of lead, and quite the challenge to build. I bit the bullet and put the dragon together over the weekend – much pinning and gluing required! Here she is as of Sunday morning:
Obviously the elastic bands will come off once everything has set :-) Next stage is to give her a nice scenic base and a new converted rider, (the one that comes with is a teenyweeny mage type who might well end up in my planned chaos gnome army… yeah, that’s another project for the future). I’ll be running the completed piece as a counts-as Arkhan the Black, Mortarch of Sacrament in my AoS Death legion… Mwhahahah!!!
Peace out dudes!
Looking good mate – especially liking that purple guy, who knew a creature with that colour-scheme could still look tough and threatening?
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the dragon. Oh and Chaos Gnomes? Yes please! :-)
lol – cheers mate – he’s a bright chap isn’t he? Chaos Gnomes are just too cool not to do ;-)
The purple one is my favourite. The dragon is going to be epic man
Nice work my friend! Yep I’d say you have your work cut out for you with that hunk of lead. What a monster!!
Cheers Brother, and too right – I’ll probably pick up a strain injury when I paint it!!
The striking colours work so well!
I can only wish you good venture with that lead monster!!
Thanks mate – yeah, I’m going to need some luck I think!
Absolutly awesome dragon. Looking forward to seeing that one painted. And your Spce Frogs are great as always.
Cheers dude :-)
Those Eru-Kin are so cool, and the different colour schemes go really well together.
Cheers mate – harmony from chaos :-)
Seeing these makes me happy! Great work and get these in play soon!
Cheers mate – they will be seeing action over Christmas I am sure ;-)
Great work on the growing army of Frogmen, and the dragon looks very cool so far.
Cheers dude :-)
