I'm Painting My Damn Leadpile III: Some Finished Figs in Action

So I never really took final photos of a lot of the figures I've posted in-progress shots of in previous leadpile posts. I DO have some shots of them in games, though, so I thought I'd slap 'em up here. I really like how they came out.


Above, you can see the besuited figure which was actually some kind of batman figure. I have no clue from what range. I sculpted on some scifi nonsense and a goofy hairdo so he could represent corrupt Tanjaran official, Ludo Kranx. He's pictured here with his smuggling outfit, the Kranx Industrial Freight Syndicate.


Here are several of the eldar from previous posts, but with their finishing touches done. Pictured here as a space pirate gang raiding an abandoned orbital arcology in a game of Space Weirdos. I wrote an exhaustive battle report as well as a game system analysis based on this game for the CSW blog.


Karl broke out the club subway terrain set, which makes for some wonderfully atmospheric gameplay shots.



And above you have Ludo Kranx again, as well as space ork Hank the Tank, and the freight beast Megadoxalon. All three painted with oils over a blue-green spraycan gradient.


Hank's buddy, Gormy Driv, looking for targets to slag in a game of Planet28. Below, in that same game, Hank gets an energy sword to the back of the dome while trying to climb into a spare tactical battlefield mech.

Classic Eldar Sculpt

Holy crap was I thrilled to find this sculpt in a bin at Adepticon 2018 for a couple bucks. I utterly adore old Jes Goodwin Rogue Trader Eldar. This paintjob was done in 2019, shortly before the fall.


Not much to say on the painting process—just classic ink glazes over a grayscale underpainting (aka slapchop before it was cool) and none too careful nor precise. But I LOVE the finished look. And I made a cool animation!
