Everyone who managed to get a miniature from the depths of "pro-painted" eBay, stripped and cleaned up and given the paintjob they always deserved, but the original owners skills were not up to the task, or it's been an old project they've forgotten about since they were a kid.
Whatever the reason these miniatures were languishing in limbo, we have rescued and reinvigorated them.
The participants were the usual bunch of myself, Chris and A Cardboard Fortress.
In no particular order, here are the Miniatures:
Chris:
Some minor conversion work, repositioning the head and changing the barrel on the meltagun (from a plastic Cawdor Flamer I believe?) And he is more dynamic.
Chris' usual gritty, desaturated painting style sells the miniature:
Currently building up an Orc and Goblin army for Warhammer Fantasy (OldHammer), the addition of some metal Savage Orcs was a no-brainer.
A Cardboard Fortress:
The is no conversion work here, the model is built as stock and painting in a classic bright colour scheme (I particularly like the skintones used), which is a wonderful throwback to older editions of the games we love:

Finally my own effort:

You've already seen Kharn from my previous posts about him, but for completeness sake, here he is again.
Finecast and with a broken off leg when he arrived, some minor conversion work and a suitable "heroic base" turn a per-loved Kharn the Betrayer into Kharn the Bloody for my 30k World Eaters force:
This panned out well and I think everyone enjoyed it once again.
Myself and Chris often set a monthly challenge to each other, and this was no different apart from the fact that I extended it to a fair few other friends, most of whom declined to take part.
So thank you to Chris and Cardboard Fortress once again, and I think we'll have to arrange for something towards the end of the year, November maybe.
Maybe something Vehicular?
Until next time, have nice day...
