Here are first 3 of Norse adventurers warband from RedBox Games. I used similar colors (greens, browns and blue) so they all look coherent.
Ullr the Red:
Tradkarl:
The third one – Egilhard the Peacemaker – I already presented some time ago.
Lions of Alahan WIP – Standard bearer
Not much here today, just a few WIP pictures.
Queen Medb – long forgotten…
Do you remember that I posted some WIP photos of Queen Medb from Morland Studios that I’ve been painting? Well, I almost forgot about her…
Some of you may remember her and the unfortunate glue accident that she suffered from… Well, I actually finished her quite some time ago but again due to the problems we had with the website, she was never presented here. But now she is 🙂
About the Queen Medb model:
Some of you may not be familiar with the model, so let me explain that it was released by Morland Studios. It’s Sebastian Archer’s sculpt, based on Howard David Johnson’s artwork.
Of course my interpretation is quite different, because who would like his painting to be compared to Sebastian’s? 😉
And if you want to know more about the character that inspired the original model, here’s the Wikipedia article about her.
OK, it’s time to return to my current project, the Emperor’s Children.
Cheers 🙂
Incredible example of well painted skin
While browsing the website of our friends from the Massive Voodoo jungle crew, I stumbled upon this example of incredibly well painted human skin. It was done by Luis Méndez Juanola, and it looks more or less like this:

Arachnork spider
I finished painting this Arachnork spider in May 2015, but I didn’t have the photos until now. Better late than never, here they are for you to see. 🙂
The text on the base says:
»Live on then, and yet hang, condemned one, but, lest you are careless in future, this same condition is declared, in punishment, against your descendants, to the last generation!« Departing after saying this, Athena sprinkled her with the juice of Hecate’s herb, and immediately at the touch of this dark poison, Arachne’s hair fell out. With it went her nose and ears, her head shrank to the smallest size, and her whole body became tiny. Her slender fingers stuck to her sides as legs, the rest is belly, from which she still spins a thread, and, as a spider, weaves her ancient web.
It comes from The Metamorphoses by Ovid. I think the connection is pretty obvious. 😉
Official background for Arachnork spider:
Here’s what the official Games Workshop narration says about this monster:
In the darkest depths of the most sinister forests, even Giants and Cygors can fall prey to the colossal Arachnarok Spider. Towering over houses and settlements alike, this gargantuan creature can be goaded into battle by Forest Goblins who worship it as a living god. Bedecked with shanty towers, altars to the Spider-god or even crude catapults, the Arachnarok Spider will terrorise the Warhammer world.
I hope you like it, and I will soon post some more WIP photos of my Alahan models.
