I've recently been painting some Toyhammer figures as a palette cleanser. They are great for picking up and splashing paint on when I have a few minutes here and there ( usually about 3.30am). So far I'd only painted good guys, so it was about time to do some opposition.
I had so much fun block painting over a white undercoat I am seriously thinking about doing more figures in this style. With these cheap plastic figures above it doesn't seem so sacrilegious, but on valuable old lead I have been thinking twice about it.
Fantastic work. Love the skellies especially.
ReplyDeleteThey are from the game Heroquest. I've never played it, but it has some fun minis.
DeleteNice, you are making me seriously nostalgic!. It's great to see these old plastics given a new lease on life.
ReplyDeleteI despised these plastic "toys" when they were released, but live 'em now.
DeleteFantastic! The necromancer is a great figure
ReplyDeleteNot a very original paint job, but he's undoubtedly based on the villain Skeletor.
DeleteVery smart , I like the rather cartoony poses , I think they have stood the test of time .
ReplyDeleteThey are very charactatured, one of the reasons I didn't like them at the time, but they were designed to be fun and easy to paint, which I know now they are.
DeleteThose marauder archers are lovely sculpts. :)
ReplyDeleteHa....it's the monstrous haircuts which spoil them for me.
DeletePerfectly punk. :D
DeleteSomething of an oxymoron :)
