Some recent efforts

 So this one is not technically part of the Warlocks set I've been painting through (2 more of those to go), but he is a old GW plastic figure from the 90s that came in a similar small box assortment. This guy is more of a generic imperial wizard (to me). I also painted this one about 20 years ago. It was not great, so I stripped it best I could and re-painted him as part of this set. I lost some detail because the old paint didn't completely come off. So you can see some less defined areas. 

 

At this stage of my return to painting, I'm just trying one or two new things on the minis and painting what looks fun. 

Next up is a fun dwarf that would be a great addition to a Treasure Hunters warband in Mordheim.
 

I am not sure of this figure's pedigree. He looks kind of Reaper-ish, but has a slot base and I can't find him in their web store. Anyway, I dig the sculpt. He's walking around quaffing ale bare-chested, but with axe & board ready to go.

Next is an ogre from the old WOTC "Chainmail" line. I've have a soft spot for some of the sculpts from this line, so I tend to buy up these old figs when at a con or similar. 





Last up is not a new mini paint job, but a re-basing of an old one. I love this old GW metal orc shaman. I painted it YEARS ago. It's base was horrendous though. It was a GW 1" square slot base painted goblin green. That's it. So I decided to practice making nicer bases by making him a new one with texture paint, cork, and some gravel + flock..
