Hi, I'm a new member here I left a post in the Say Hello thread telling a little bit about myself.

I guess I'll start my Showcase with these guys, I really like'em.

These are some of the Tamaya 1/35 U.S. Infantry and German Grenadiers. The destroyed building corners came out of packs of the green army men from a dollar store.

I doubt I'll ever go back over these guys and do any touch ups or anything but any tips for the future will be appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

I guess I need some help on posting my pics in the thread. I checked the facts and Mahon's thread and was finely able to post these links, but I would like to find out how to insert the pics themselves into a thread.

Fixed the links, you just usually use the http links, and insert those into ["img][/img"] (without the "") or ["rimg][/rimg"] (without the "") if you want to resize the image

Thanks Hellspawn, I'll try again soon.

Thanks Hellspawn, I'll try again soon.

You're welcome
And if you not sure how to do, just edit the post I fixed and you should be able to see how it's done

Taking more pics, getting ready for another go. But before I do I wanted to ask what y'all thought of Hans cameo pattern?

Finely started taking pics of my older mini's and wanted to share the very first 28mm miniatures I ever painted.

The Necromancer and his Ghouls from the Mordenhime, Vampire Counts box set with the Reaper Tombstones I painted to go with them.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I have over the years, they've seen a lot of action.

After I painted the Mordenhime, Vampire Counts box set I got into Warhammer Fantasy Battle Game and built a large Vampire Counts undead army. I've always liked Bruce Cambell's movie "Army of Darkness" so I used it for inspiration and used all skeletons no zombies. I used the Zombies for Zombie pirates.

This is most of my "Army of Darkness" laid out.

I won't bore you with everything but I had two units with lots of conversions and I would like to show you a little of those. Of course these were speed painted to table top quality and no where near you guys GD masterpieces!

A couple of Armored Skeletons made from the Dark Elf and Skeleton plastic sprew.

I also mad a pretty large unit of the Cursed Company from the plastic Skeleton sprew.

Just now going through the pictures I found something I think is pretty neat.

Here's a couple of rubber Halloween bats I found in a joke shop, I just trimmed the wings and used them as Fell Bats.

I know everything I've posted so far is just average table top to you guys but I would really like to hear what you think. If any of you have suggestions or tips or could tell me when I should have used a different technique on a particular figure I would appreciate hearing it.

Pretty soon I'll post some of my more recent stuff so you can see what I'm up to now.

Contrast is your friend!

I've been looking for tutorials but I think they were easer to find on the old forum.

I painted these about a year after Assault on Black Reach came out
Ork War Boss and his Nob's.
