More Weird WW2 miniatures

What a week, I'm really chuffed with the amount of progress I've made. Though I must ensure I don't burn out pre-painting competition.

Tonight I managed to get a couple of mastiffs done, I went with a fairly classic cream coat with black face and ears and I think they came out rather well. These will be great for guard dogs in both our WWW2 games and for more general pulp gaming.

I also finished off and based one of my FeuerSoldats, I would have painted 2 but the other one has mysteriously gone missing so for now I'll just have this guy.

Sine quite a few people commented on the poor photo's from last time I snapped a couple of repeat shots of the miniatures from last time. Firstly the Doom Trooper, still appearing quite green but much more representative of the paint job I did.

Then we have the armoured panzergrenadiers, the main group with experimental assault rifles and an anti mech rocket.

Then the second group with Flamethrowers. 

I've managed to finish an NCO miniature but for some reason on every single photo I took his face was blurred. Clearly there's something mystical going on and I took it to be a sign that he wasn't going to make it onto tonights blog.

Thats the lot for the moment, I started on a couple of heavily armoured suits in classic German Panzer Grey, they should be finished by the end of the weekend.

Yet More Progress

What a week, I'm getting a good run on finishing left over projects and managed to kick out a monstrously large creature tonight in under 2 hours.

First up are some Westwind Armoured Panzer Grenadiers, I'm not totally happy with the shade of gray for these but as I'm in a hurry I'm going to leave them as is for the moment whilst I finish off a number of other projects. The Squad includes a couple of flame throwers and a lovely anti-mech panzershrek. This'll make my brother think twice about fielding armoured suits.

Next up we have a Wolvensoldat, originally painted for modern horror the camo isn't quite right for WW2 but I don't think it looks too off. I was aiming for the darker skin colouring of films like underworld, not sure how well it works as there is very little difference from shade to highlight. Again I may revisit this when I have more time. 

Finally I have the Doomtrooper, a genetically engineered super beast, in real life he's a lot less green than this picture makes out, I'm quite impressed that I managed this beast in around 2 hours. For anyone who's spotted it it's actually a warmachine Trollblood miniature, I spent a long long time sanding off all the spikes on his back and rebuilding the muscles. I'm pretty happy with the final result.

Next up I've some Battlesuits, other bio mechanical monstrosities  a couple of specials and some guard dogs. Then it's back to terrain if the parts arrive in time.

Oh and I ordered the wrong bleeding Jarvis mat which has left me a little peeved, got a spring one rather than a summer mix so it doesn't match any of my bases. New order placed for the right one this time.
