I have a dozen of those guys! I got them to use in a Forces of Law WHFB army that I never got around to building.

Is the other model a crossbowman?

We'll go with definitely maybe had to convert him into a standard bearer though and I'm hoping it looks alright when everything is said and done.

Welp, I finally did it, I finished the regiment! and it only took me 6 months Starting off with the standard bearer.



Wilhelm Strauss the Eye of Doom! This is the other half of the black prince's guard pack that I used for a standard bearer. He had a feather but it snapped off so a battle damaged helmet will do. just pretend the rock has the magical property to move with him lol.
I attempted the "lidless eye" as was tradition for anything evil related at least according to ye olde tabletop hero articles from early white dwarfs.

Next up is the first vintage Chaos Warrior I ever painted that inspired me to do the whole regiment,



Dar the Face of Doom. From the original C series line and probably my favorite Chaos Warrior of all time!(minus Harry of course...)

I painted this guy up last year but wasn't happy with the cloak and visor so I redid it. Unfortunately when I got him he was in a pretty sorry state so some detail has been worn off through age, but hey! that gives him character 👌

And finally...



The Legion of Doom (tm) is assembled! If you're wondering why there's a lot of wiggle room in the tray it's because I hand cut all the bases so the inside is like 105.8x79.8mm instead of 100x75mm for a 4x3 25mm tray.
This was also the best angle I could get and maybe I'll retake this picture when I learn better photography 🤔

I thank everyone who stopped by and joined me in my overly long journey to get 12 minis painted Either I'll be taking a break from vintage minis or I'll be doing something small instead.

Thanks for stopping by!

That's a sweet unit. I love that every model is unique-- very Chaosy!

Just gotta do it two more times and I'll have 1/4 of the army done. It still astounds me from the book of battalions and 2nd ed
army lists that 4000 points was the "standard" points game size. Was it really back in the day or was that so Bryan Ansell and Co could sell more minis? Edit: Sorry it was 3000 points but still lol.

Great looking unit! NIce job on the standard bearer. I love the idea of the lidless eye. You should definately continue

Very inspiring! I hope to have some similar units painted up one day.

Welp my break is over Switching up genres though and heading to the far future...



Sergeant Krod of the...er uhm er...Omega Troopers This guy is an Imperial Space Marine from the 1984 Traveller minis series by Grenadier.

It's been forever since I've painted the ultradork scheme but remember how much I liked it lol. If these guys were about 15% bigger they'd make pretty great Gue'Vesa stand ins 🤔

Poor mini had a really bad mold slip but eh, I'll call it battle damage!. May return to fantasy after this or work on a little side project that is vintage adjacent.

Thanks for stopping by!

Well I had another mini lined up but after recent events I felt the urge to paint this guy lol





The Broo Gladiator from the 1984 Runequest Monster Coliseum by Ral Partha.

Poor beasties, they've been with Warhammer from the start but always seem to get neglected lol.

I got a regiment planned out for these guys for the forces of evil army I just need to cobble enough vintage beastmen to get it done.

Thanks for stopping by and hold your beastmen minis close!

Been a bit eh? I got some more stuff prepared for friday but will just post this in the mean time. Behold!



The first skaven...In my mind atleast lol. 1982 Wererat from the Fiend Factory line sculpted by uhhhhhh, I'm gonna guess one of the perry twins 🤔 Feel free to correct me on that!

I do wonder if Jes Goodwin had any hand in this or if it was just a coincidence. Just need about 79 more of these and I'll have a tide ready

Thanks for stopping by!
