Blood for the Blood Bowl God

I recently converted this figure up to repurpose him as a vampiric Blood Bowl player. He’s an old miniature from the characterful late eighties early nineties Citadel Night Horrors range. 

Snipped off his hand and replaced it with one from the modern GW human plastic spruce. Job Done.

Happy Halloween all ! 

Halloween Horror Painting Challenge

Over on Facebook I run a group dedicated to the appreciation of the classic Night Horror and Gothic Horrors produced by Citadel Miniatures in the late eighties and early nineties. It's Halloween soon and in the run up to that I'm running a painting challenge for the best painted miniature of one of those ranges.

Best of all there's a prize of old lead for the lucky winner!

To enter you need to be a member of the Facebook group -

1. The mini must be newly painted and from one of the Citadel ranges Gothic Horrors or Night Horrors. Links to these ranges are referenced at the end of the post. ( from the Stuff of Legends website). If you're not sure check the links and as I'm not all-seeing and you have found a reference to these ranges I have missed then PM me.

(note: there is a large crossover between the Night Horrors and Ethereals range and because of this these minis are admissable)

Doom, Guts and the Undead.

  More grossness for you to enjoy lol.

  First up, a Vampire Counts zombie painted up with Tamiya Red on his intestines - a kind gift from a new painting friend I have made :)

 

Next up is a Cairn Wraith. Great figure even though it is so simply designed. Shroud is a simple wash of Ogre Flesh or Reikland Flesh (can't remember which) on white followed by Bloodletter Glaze and drybrush with white. A real joy to paint.

Lastly an Imp from the Doom board game. Not the most detailed of figures but pretty good for a board game standard - one day, I will paint all the figures from my board games. One day...

And with the rest of his friends. The spidery things are called Trites. There are four different coloured teams in the game and I plan to paint each with its own corresponding colour. This is the 'red' team.

Until next time! :)
