Tiny Sacred Band.

With the release of Labours of the Gods I felt the urge to buy and paint a lot of Greek Mythic 28mm but after the first moment I realised I did not have time nor money for such project so I turned again to 10 mm.

Con la publicación de Labours of the Gods sentí la necesidad de comprar y pintar un montón de figuras de la Grecia mítica, pero después del primer impulso me dí cuenta de que no tenía tiempo ni dinero para semejante projecto, así que regresé de nuevo a los 10 mm.

As I did not have any hoplites around I took some Pendraken Macedonian pikemen and converted them by swapping heads and adding spears, swords and shields. The one with the red cloak is a Roman general from Magister Militum.

Como no tenía hoplitas a mano, cogí unos piqueros macedónicos y los convertí sustituyendo algunas cabezas y añadiendo espadas, lanzas y escudos. El que lleva una capa roja es un general romano de Magister Militum.

I like how they turned out and I especially enjoyed painting their tiny shields. All pictures are clickable.

Me gusta como quedaron y disfruté muchísimo pintando los mini escudos. Las fotos se agrandan pinchando sobre ellas.

Here you can see my sacred band cornering the Minotaur.

Aquí pueden ver a mi banda acorralando al Minotauro.

And here trying to snatch a treasure from some skeletons from Hades.

Y aquí intentando quitarles un tesoro a unos esqueletos del Hades.

Next I will be painting some Satyrs from Eureka and Centaurs from Pendraken.

Lo próximo que pinte serán unos sátiros de Eureka y centauros de Pendraken.

10 mm Weird WWII WIP Pendraken's "Mecha"

Pendraken's sci-fi range has Marines in battle armour which I'm using as Uber Soldaten, but it also has a walker (SF9) that I painted as a mecha for my Weird WWII project. I have only added a machine gun that can be seen next to the green windows.

El rango de ci-fi de Pendraken tiene unos marines en armadura pesada que estoy usando como super soldados, pero también tiene un walker (SF9) que he pintado como un mech para mi proyecto de Segunda Guerra Mundial Alternativa. El modelo es tal cual se ve, tan sólo le he añadido una ametralladora junto a las ventanas verdes.

When I was looking for some decals for my panzer mech I found some very old Tamiya 1/35 decals for German helmets and I decided to use them as shoulder pads for my Uber Soldaten. I think they turned out pretty neat.

Cuando estaba buscando calcas para el panzer mech descubrí unas calcas de Tamiya 1/35 de cascos alemanes y las usé como hombreras de los super soldados. Creo que han quedado bastante bien.

More to come: Allied in Powered Armour, German zombies, Red Skull, etc.

Cosas por hacer: Aliados en armadura pesada, zombies alemanes, cráneo rojo, etc.

10 mm Weird WWII (was Wolfenstein) WIP

I decided to expand Wolfenstein to Weird WWII and here there are some good guys and some Uber Soldaten that can either be used as heavy stormtroopers in Weird WWII or as bosses in Wolfenstein.

Me he decidido a expandir Wolfenstein para usarlo en Segunda Guerra Mundial alternativa y aquí tienen a algunos de los buenos y también unos super soldados que pueden usarse como tropas de asalto pesadas o como los jefes de Wolfenstein.

All the miniatures are from Pendraken. Pictures are clickable.

Todas las minis son de Pendraken. Pinchando en las fotos se agrandan.

Return to Wolfenstein WIP. (edited).

Do you remember that great PC game called Wolfenstein 3D? It was one of my favourite games.

Se acuerdan de ese gran juego que se llamaba Wolfenstein 3D. Fue uno de mis juegos favoritos durante mucho tiempo.

Pendraken's 10 mm dungeon is meant for Fantasy settings but when I painted it in grey it reminded me the walls of the first Wolfenstein.

Here there are the first Nazi Germans and soon will follow powered armour troops, mechs, zombies and of course the good guys!
All the pics are clickable.

El dungeon de Pendraken en 10 mm está pensado para Fantasy pero cuando lo pinté de gris me recordó a aquel maravilloso juego para PC que era la primera versión de Wolfenstein.

Aquí están los primeros Nazis y pronto seguirán tropas acorazadas, mechas, zombis ¡y por supuesto los buenos!
Pincha en las fotos para verlas más grandes.

The guard dogs are wolves from Warmaster. They are a bit big sized but they will do.

Los perros guardianes son los lobos de Warmaster. Son un poco grandes pero servirán.

The converted werewolf is unfinished but here we can see it learning to salute properly, although the stupid beast is still rising the wrong paw!

La conversión de hombre lobo está sin acabar pero aquí lo podemos ver aprendiendo a saludar correctamente, aunque la estúpida bestia todavía sigue levantando la pata equivocada.

BTW, can anyone tell me how to make 10 mm petrol barrels or where to buy them? TIA.

Por cierto, ¿alguien puede decirme cómo hacer o dónde comprar bidones de gasolina en 10 mm?

DBA Corvus Belli Celtiberians

I am starting a new army for DBA and here there are the first four units; all the psilois in the DBA Celtiberian army. Next there will be the six units of Warbands althought it will take a lot of time to get painted as I am doing other things at the same time.

I copied the shield designs from LBM. I think they turned out OK but I hope to improve with the following Warbands.
Estoy empezando un nuevo ejército para DBA y aquí están las cuatro primeras unidades; todos los psilois del ejército de Celtíberos. Lo siguiente serán las seis unidades de bandas de guerra aunque tardarán bastante porque estoy haciendo otras cosas al mismo tiempo.

Copié los diseños de los escudos de LBM. No salieron mal del todo pero espero hacerlos un poco mejor con las bandas de guerra.

More Magic Wash joy.

Here you can see two pictures of my HQ squad for Disposable Heroes. I will definitely be using Magic Wash to paint all my army for DH with the plastic miniatures from Valiant.

Aquí tienen un par de fotos de mi pelotón de mando para Disposable Heroes. Definitivamente usaré el Magic Wash para pintar todo mi ejército para DH con las miniaturas de plástico de Valiant.

I edited this entry to upload two more pics of my second squad for DH. Here you have.
