More Odd Bits: Snipers and Cultists

I stayed up late last night and watched American Sniper… I happened to have a few half finished 40K snipers on my painting table in the TV room, so I finished them up while watching…

The Cultists… well they’re another of those items that have been haunting the workbench in an almost completely painted state that I finished up the bases on and called them done.

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):

Older Ratling Snipers from Games Workshop (the one I finished yesterday is included in the shot because this batch completes the unit).

Catachan Sniper (also from Games Workshop)

Cultists. These are figures I modeled, molded and cast myself – the cast figures look like the guy in the middle – the others I’ve added green stuff to make their robes longer. I painted them in black with a greenish-grey pallor to their skin so I could pass them off as members of the Esoteric Order of Dagon. 

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Probably another handful of Catachans – they seem to be the closest to being finished of everything that’s crowding the workbench at the moment. 

Something Fishy This Way Comes…

I can’t believe these are the first 28mm figures I’ve finished this year. The sad part is some of them were mostly done before the end of last year – I’ve just now gotten around to finishing them off!? Ah, well…

There’s something fishy going on here…

These are “Fish Men” from Black Tree Design that I’ll be using as Deep Ones in any sort of Cthulhu campaign that requires them – hopefully starting with Cthulhu Invictus (whenever I get that started!?). These ones actually took the longest. I started them in the fall and agonized over how to do the turtle shell shields. I'm still not happy with them... but it's time to say "enough" and just move on and do something else! 

These are Deep One Hybrids that I picked up recently from Brigade Games (though I think they might be manufactured by Rattrap Games…?).

Still working on some Great War Canadians of the 3^rd Division. Some more epic Eldar wormed their way onto the workbench, but I’m not sure they’ll stay their long enough to get painted – I need to sort out some priorities and get focused again…
