OG Necron Lord

 

The original Necron Lord from GW. I turned his right hand around and added a small ball to stand in for a control orb. The cloak of gold panels in NMM drove me slightly insane. I also carved the crystals on his base out of old sprue.

Vampire Countess

This is Freebooter Miniatures' "Queen of Shadows," painted as a vampire countess, with pale skin and her dress in red and black and with a gold mask. I initially included the goblin hiding under her dress but found he got in the way.

Slaine the Barbarian

I got this barbarian figure out of a bargain bin loose so I initially didn't know who makes it. The good folks on Facebook helped me find he was the "barbarian king" of a three-figure set for the old Kev White Harlequin fantasy line (sort of related to the old Celtos line). I decided to paint him as the Celtic hero Slaine from the 2000 AD series in Britain. Unfortunately, his skirt is chain mail instead of cloth so I had to forgo Slaine's normal tartan.

 

Artificer Space Marine

This was a repaint of an old OOP Space Marine variant from the mid-1990s. I liked it for the Judge Dredd look. And then I remembered why I fell out of love of painting Space Marines. All the flat panels. It didn't help that I hacked up the right shoulder pad at one time or another for some reason so had to paint around that. The funny thing is, he's supposed to be an Ultramarine. When I finished him, I realized I had forgotten to paint the Ultramarine badge, instead using a unit marking because I liked the red contrast. He's the highly awarded but self-hating Ultramarine.
