Lycaon Faction finished

Had a lot of fun painting these guys up especially the Beastlord, Packmaster and wolves not having painted fur before it was something new to learn and research. I really like the background to this faction.

From the depths of ancient forests the Lycaon are rising. No longer able to sit by and watch as their secretive world is menaced by the march of technology, they have stirred their followers to find and destroy any who threaten them.

They are neutral faction seen as neither good nor evil.



The Beast Lord


 The Pack Master


 The entire pack together.

Empire of the Dead Lycaon's part 1

Spurred on by the need to clear some of the miniatures that i've started i've managed to get my Lycaon faction finished for Empire of the dead. I finished the Wolves ages ago but kinda stalled with the Wolfskins.

Any after a few sessions this week I managed to get them all finished. Work is still on going with the Beastlord and Pack Master, but they are also nearly finished.  Hoping to have them done by the weekend.


Annoyingly I dropped him whilst attempting to photograph him resulting in a bent wolf claw and having to repaint it again after straightening them!







The Wolves I did middle of last year shows how long they've sat on my painting table lol.

7TV Pandora King MKII

Not satisfied with my first attempt with this lovely figure. The release of Hugo Solomon and Pandora King in a pack together gave me the excuse to pick up another Pandora. Decided to stick with the black cat suit this time and had a lot of fun painting her up. Grrrr eyes I really hate eyes!!!!!!!!!!!

7TV Female Agent

It was the littles one birthday yesterday and we had a build a bear party which they both and there friends all really enjoyed. Exhausted but managed to find the time to finish another miniature that has been sitting under-coated on my paint station for a long while is this lady. Another member from the Copplestone Castings Future Wars Corporate Babes 2 pack. I've now finished four out of the five ladies just need to decide on what colour to the clothing/hair on the last one.  I'm certainly going to pick up the first pack just because they are so nice to paint up and everyone likes choice for gaming.....

I had a bit of play and tried to some blue eye shadow it looks OK. I need to invest in some better brushes any recommendations?



Some pics of the other three girls. I may strip and repaint them at some point though.

7TV KGB Hitman

Still undecided on the 15mm Exterminators, I'm thing dark green, In the mean time Decided to paint/convert some mofre figures for 7TV. I Got this guy free from when The Assault Group did a free give away via a Facebook promotion. This guy is a Chechen Sniper from the Special range normally you can get them if you buy £39.00 of there products in which case you can choose a free figure. There was quite a lot of great choices but I decided to pick one I'd get the most use out of.

For a list of all the figures available click here.

My main use for him is going to be for 7TV as a Hitman to go with my KGB faction. Saying that though I think he would work with any modern setting and would make a good survivor for zombie games as well.

I thought at first the Dragunov Sniper rifle would be to 'modern' for for 7TV but after a look at the wiki it was first manufactured and put into service in 1963 so would fit the era well. Not so sure about its availability on the normal market but I'm sure there are plenty of Russian weapons in peoples personal collections (not in the UK obviously) that I could ok it use in zombie gaming.


As You can see he mixes in well with Copplestone Future Wars and Copplestone KKBB range

Paint Scheme Dilema

Now I've mentioned in previous posts and on various other peoples blogs that I'm going to be doing a 15mm Sci-Fi project this year. I've probably already said its going to be an Aliens Vs Predator themed one following the PC game more and the books so there will be quite a lot of stuff that perhaps different to what expected from the films.

Anyway my dilema is I have these lovely figures from Khurasan to use as 'not' marine's however I'm stuck. I can't decide on what colour to do the guys webbing or gloves.

Here is what I've done so far on a handful. The black bits will be metal eventually with the same camo green gun casings.

Any suggestions folks?
