These two are from Northstar if I remeber right. They were scultued after original pictures from members of CNT/FAI-militias. Never got started to paint some more minis from spanish civil war. So just these two.
For military and political leaders one of the worst things that could happen in a war is fraternisation with the enemy. As people who know eachother tend not to be aggressive against eachother – sadly exeptions happen.
Anyway – one of the best kown fraternisations happen druing the Great War at the Western Front at Christmas 1914 – unsurprisingly named Christmas Truce.
As soon as I had seen Wargames Illustrated did a vignette in their „moments in history“ series I must get them. And here are the results.
There are lots of Cthulhu-Miniatures out there. Most of them are quite good some are silly. These one is specially for gamers as it shows why some people have dicing luck.
I have taken two work in progress pictures to show how I did the painting. Or better: so you could get an impression.
I used three to four layers. Started with drybrush then lights and details. Really simple but with nice effect.
For pen & paper RPG I sometimes use miniatures. But manly I am into cool minis. So I got these minis as use in Pulp and Horror – esp. Cthulhu – RPG but manly for my own pleasure to paint. They would also suit well in Very British Civil War, Interwar espionage or Itras By.

The numbers of rebel rousers still increasing. The following miniatures could be used for games in the Very British Civil War or Resistance some for the Irish-Anglo-War, German Revolution and Spanish Civil War.
Some got some minor conversions – manly at the heads or the gear – but most just got paint. All of them are taken from different peterpigs ranges (manly WWII Resistance and Spanish Civil War Militas) and flames of war (French Forces Interiour – Regiment).

Here are now finally my first attemd to get my firm coloured. It was the first time I used a quickshade. I think it worked out fine. At least I could get lots of minis painted in a reasonable time.
You can see the unprimed minis here to see the conversions I have done.
Fantasy with magic, orcs, elves, dwarves and other people are not limited to some would-look-like medieval or bronze age setting. Urban fantasy with vampires and werwolves crwaling the streets are bestsellers – no to mention Shadowrun. Weird fantasy at WWII and Wild West are common among RPGs.
At miniatures level you get easy access to classical fantasy as well as SF-Fantasy (thanks the evil empire games). Others settings are rare. But you get 19th century Napoleon-War with lots of cool minis. I own just some small minis but these are even more appreciated.
15mm is my favorite scale for massed miniatures games – which is for me more then 10 minis a side. As I am in exotic backgrounds and settings I love Aggro 70 (german / english). Getting into fight over whos team is the best is much more fun on tabletop as on the streets.
So I have done some research to get minis for 15mm Aggro. I have found usefull minis at Rebels Minis (modern rioters, pulp thugs and pulp policemen) Khurasan Miniatures (modern rioters / zombies) and Irregular Miniatures (rioters – not in the pictures).
All had to be converted. Manly to get a football-look with scarves. Also the police got their heads removed to get an english look.
Bought ages ago the limited edition 5th year anniversary vignette from Freebooter Miniatures. This is one of my favorite vignettes as the sidkick is awsome and the captain shows elegance and toughness. Also the arrangement with figurehead and chest is very dynamic. And did I mentioned the crab?
The only problem is the poor quality of the pictures. But either I stop complaining or get enough money together for a better camera and a lightbox.
