Orc Chariot

Well I’m still scraping and assembling 40K figures (onto my third week now, it’s terribly tedious and I haven’t even puttied them). Anyway took a few more photos so I have something to chuck up here over the next week or so.

First off is one of my two Orc Chariots. Painted many years ago, about a year or so after 6th edition came out since I got them from Potts (who had the orc compliment of two 6th ed box sets) and financed it by painting both his Dark Elf and Vampire Counts army, which took like more than a couple of days.

The chariot looks ok, even if the orcs could do with a bit of highlighting.

Wardancers

Five of the twenty old style wardancers I posess. Most of them (16) are one of four poses, which is .. unfortunate. Later I picked up a blister which had several different looking dancers (eg the first and last of the pics above) which were painted a year later. I have something like 16 new wardancers and a similar problem. In an age of plastics with interchangeable multiposable parts, it looks a bit silly. Like a lot of my old stuff, not that fussed on the paint scheme which is mostly GW standard. But back in the day most figures were painted rather gaily, it’s only later that Warhammer took a turn toward a more gritty and dark nature.

Dryads

Here are my five old school Dryads. Since each is quite individual and there is only five of them I thought I’d post them all up. Back in the day they cost a fair bit because they were bigger than your average man and were metal, so only had five. Anway since they were essentially just little treeman I was able to take what I learnt from painting them to the Dryads. Which is to say I painted things then drybrushed, which on such a heavily textured figure is very effective. These are some of the first warhammer figures I ever painted.
