Infernal engine and citadel guard with flintlock axe

Finally finished my second infernal engine. You can find pictures of my first with its custom death Rolla here.

This miniature is one of Forge World's finest so is a worthy edition to my favourite miniature collection.

In game terms I have only used the steam hammer version so am looking forward to my next game where I will see how the shrapnel guns go.

What made this mini easier to paint was a strong undercoat of a copper from tamaya that combined nicely with the Hashut copper (main colour) with mithrill silver (highlights) and a flesh wash I use.


Next up is another of the zonk miniatures that I have converted to be a citadel guard armed with a flintlock axe.

The halberd is from the tomb King chariot.

Onion head Warrior B finished

I have finally finished painting up this recast known as onion head Warrior B.

The original Warrior A and B (using both hands to hold their axes) had as far as I am aware a pretty short shelf life so it's fair to say most of them floating around are recasts of the originals. 


The Warriors A and B tend to go for some over the top prices these days so my advice is be patient and don't pay more than $10 per mini.

Anyway, I was very lucky to get my hands on old onion head for a reasonable price and am very happy how he has turned out.





Warrior A and B were a little shorter than the original Perry brother's chaos dwarfs as demonstrated below. Despite their shorter size they break up for the mono pose of the other axe dudes in units.
