the empire armie (so far)

i have painted some more units for my empire army, 2 handgunners and 2 pike units. starts to look like a real armie, doesn'it? almost ready...

ogre comparison

as promised, a comparison between the splintered light ogres and the caesars orcs. what do you think?

ogres

some ogres for the orcs and goblins... splintered light miniatures. very big heads,but i guess that is also very ogre-like

new empire units

some new empire units. a wizard stand and a cannon. at the moment painting some handgunners.

empire pistoliers

finished some empire pistoliers for my empire warmaster army. mostly miniatures from revell

Rhino left-side printed

Got my rhino left-side from my 3d print service. LOVE IT!! don't know if it is perhaps a little to small? should I make it just a little bit bigger? Anyway, it is all a big experiment, so le't's see where it ends ;-) . Going to make a mould for it so I can make more of them. Never made a mould, so I guess it is going to be a messy bussiness... keep you informed.

and the rhino (digital version)

and the rhino to transport my marines. The cad-model it is. just have to 3d-print it and make a mould... sometime in the future.. soon. to be continued!

space marines on workbench

wanted to show you what is on my workbench now. painting a bunch of space marines. body's are from the starcraft boardgame, the heads from dark dreams space battle box, combined with some parts from games workshop space marines...

I'm back

sorry guys. long time no news. summervacation, painting my house (now that is a painting project!!) and my work for the organisation for a bluesfestival took all my free time. hopefully the autumn season will bring more miniature time! In th meantime enjoy this Russian Napoleonics command stand I painted a few years ago.

leman russ (cad model)

much to warm to do any painting, just relaxing in the garden with a cold beer and my family and friends. there are worser ways to spend your time... but I did some cad work in my spare time at work, (it has airco). it is a leman russ tank from the 40K universe. I'm not going to print it at the time. waiting on the new material at my 3d printing service, wich makes models with much more details possible. but imagine a battle with lots of 20mm imperial guard and lots of leman russ tanks against my 20mm tyranids!!!

the empire army (so far)

it's to hot to paint, here in the south of the netherlands. 36c yesterday. so a perfect moment to show you the empire army so far....

empire general on griffon

finaly the empire army has a worthy leader. the griffon is a metal miniature from splintered light. http://www.splinteredlightminis.com/dragonsgiants.html
the rider is a knight from dark dream studio, see http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1618

and all the hero's of the empire together

hope you enjoy...

french napoleonics

my first try at french napoleonics. nice figures from italeri. but I'm afraid the whole army has to wait until I finnished my empire army (and romans, and orcs and goblins, and germans, and russians, and undead, and........)

steam tank painted

I've painted the steam tank. pretty happy with it. maybe I have to give it some highlights...

volley gun painted

painted the volleygun. won't win a model competition with it,but it looks good on the battlefield.

steam tank arrived

My steam tank arrived today by post. This time I printed it in white detail material. Much, much better. Can't wait to get it painted. Hope you like it... (I do)

See the article below how I did it....

empire flagelants

Empire flagelants, made from caesar undead with zvezda's medieval peasants heads...

easy but effective...

3d concept steam tank

finished the 3d model for my 1:72 scale steam tank. sent it yesterday to the 3d printer. Now we have to wait 10 days to see the result, if the model is approved by shapeways (the 3d print company) that is..... keep you informed.

also painting a unit of flagellants for my empire army. hope to show you some pictures soon.

1/72 empire volley gun

is this our model future? I wanted a volleygun for my 20mm empire army, but how?
the answer I found on the following site: http://www.shapeways.com/
3d printing for a realy acceptable price. just under $ 5,-. a piece. I got these today. the detail is not as crisp as I would like, but I think it is acceptable. I painted one with silver to show out the details better

and in the original white material....

I'm going to mount it on this undercarriage

this is the original cad drawing. I work with Bentley Microstation. It is a 3d cad program I also use at work.

working at this steamtank at the moment. more to follow soon....

pegasus rider

painted my pegasus rider this weekend, it will be a command unit for my empire warmaster army

more elephants

painted 3 more elephants for Hannibal. more are not allowed for a 2000 pts. army. should I paint for 3000 pts. ??......

pimped my panzers

hello there,

long time no posts, but with my children and my partner and finaly myself having the flu, there was not much time for painting. Did some pimping up my panzers and painted some more elephants for Hannibals army. that's it for now....
