Painting Troopers - Stargrave

 I had some remaining troopers to paint. As I currently have no projects left, I decided to paint them.


I used some Contrast Black Templar and Utramarines blue for three of the troopers and Warp Lightning for the forth. I lightly dry brushed some Citadel Leadbelcher on the weapons. The belt was done with Cygor brown and snakebite leather. I also used flesh tearers red for the air tank in the back of the models.

Here are some pictures.

Painting Ju 87 Stuka Flight - Flames of War

I needed to buy an additional Stuka, as the new version of flames of war uses two planes vice one. Unfortunately they now come in pairs. If anyone just needs one, let me know.


Here are some pictures.












There were only enough decals for one plane.

Painting Stargrave miniatures Space Pirates

 Part of the Stargrave game is the random encounters. So I had to paint some Space Pirates.

I bought these from Wargames Atlantic. I ordered end July and got them early September. The bright side was they only cost $35 for 20 miniatures. The bad side is that they are in about 10 pieces.

The good news is that I have an extra box. (Anyone interested?)

Here are the Pirate Troopers. 













Here are the Pirate Shock Troopers. Basically better armour













These are the bounty hunters













I also painted some objectives and terrain


Here are the physical and data loots















and some sewer grates for one of the missions
