thanks matey!... i had been toying around with those for quite some time... pistolier heads had been a choice for these too... but then i would have made them to blend in with my steampunk army... this way... i get to paint something in a different scheme... which is quite refeshing every once in a while

To be honest I think the pistoliers heads would have been a mistake to be honest, these tie in the nicely with Red Skull origins due to the uniform and helmets design

Plus the green and yellow works surprisingly well

thanks mate... and well IF i had used the pistoliers heads... then they wouldn´t be now red skulls hydra henchmen... they would ahve been great coated soldiers for the queens empire army...

LMAO... tho never been that big of a fan for DC comics... supes and the likes never have been that cool like x-men and avengers or spidey...

thank you sir!


only work i have done is make the base of the display look even more fiery... tomorrow i hope all is cured and i can show you... maybe i even start priming it... i even have red primer...

and here is me... asking again... anyone know of a good tut for painting flames and fire?

cheers, vik

They look really nice!
Powerfull color scheme and all
The one guy in the front reminds me of a Star Wars image, when the Imperials storm Hoth...there is a stormtrooper in a very similar pose...a bit paler though

a little paler... but only just

thanks mate!...i needed to make something different for once... the black white and red scheme i usually go for is sometimes a bit tiresome...

Painted shiny silver, they could pass as old-skool Cylons too

yeah... those helmets sure fit a very old school style

Dam I never noticed the snow troopers similarity before to be honest I was never a fan of these minis, but I have to say Vik your colour scheme has changed my opinion of these.

I love that green and yellow so much I want to produce a gang in these colours for my Apoc project, you now as a tribute as it looks so dam cool.

I see your point as to superman being a bit of a corny character, but DC had some cool characters hell where would we be without the JOKER

..And without the Joker, you wouldn't have Harley Quinn

Or the riddler …… maybe that would not be such a bad thing

Harley Quinn .... now that is something someone should make from a DE mini... i bet that could be stunning!!! also... corny heros of DC...given... but DC has some epic villians... the joker is among them...




and LDD.... i am on a total no buy order atm... but damn... now i want to make some Wargames factory guys into snowtroopers....argh...

Well you should have quit a few days later then you could have bought some dumb arse stock up first,
remember next time

i enjoy the hyrda vik well done.

Sorry Vik but look at these bad boys part of the West wind Kickstarter :

Yes I have a small pledge I wish I could add more but will have to wait for the general release and have the cash

That is Fantabulous!!

 dsteingass wrote:

Yes they both are aint they I cant believe how cool they look, West Wind have stepped their game up for sure

ouch... i tried to avoid the empire of the dead thread...as i knew it would hurt my wallet... i still keep strong... but it takes much effort...

that walker is very inspiring!!! same goes for that gyrokopter...

i guess i have to give in and sub to that thread

and thanks compadre !

Thought you would like them I just cant wait to own some, even the carriages look pretty nifty I have to say.

There is some amazing looking stuff on their, but don't worry they will be on general sale after the kickstarter

Vik could scratchbuild a walker like that.

Yes but would he ever finish it LOL

I need to frequent these threads more often. Since I can't paint right now, my enthusiasm has waned dramatically. At least looking at this will help somewhat.

at valallan... well... blimey...never thought of my thread as something therapeuthical ....

i take that as a compliment^^

LDD... that is so unfair...and ... true...... tho i think my next walker will take a while to get even started... why? because....


well...my last order of victoria lamb miniatures came today!!! yay!...

no hustle with customs anymore... got my package just in the letterbox!... and i am totally satisfied... i have to tell you...nearly no flash... moldlines you have to actually search for... so only peeps with a mild OCD will have to get rid of them... (i did^^)... the casting is as good looking as you can wish for...

no i have enough for at least ten men with complete vic supported bitz... and if i take some GW arms too... then i am equipped for ten more...

here are the bitz that have accumulated...:















and this is my first assembled victoria lamp praetorian...





the lighter guy... i just had to do him first as this one is by far the most cool looking collection of bitz of the lot...

also...note that the vic paretorians stand a little bit taller than the GW ones... which isn´t so bad as i think the bigger the better and also if i mix them right this wont be much of a problem...

well... so much for now...

cheers, vik

Whoa! THose are fantastic Vik! I like all the uncommon arms.

Wowser. You're going to be a busy boy.

Nice supply drop vik - and yep, lighter guy is very cool

Look forward to seeing these guys....

thanks mates... you know... vic minis has a postage free thing going on for all orders above 10$! i couldn´t refuse such a tease^^...

and yep... busy times ahead...for sure^^

I like all the uncommon arms.

yup! the amo crate caring arm set is also something i long to use soon!

and i think in the fullnes of time i still have to get me even more arms for the lot... their guns (vics) look very cool... she has even good looking shotgun arms too... ah... decisions, decisions
