Put the things together

I just moved to a new apartment, so you can imagine all the chaos, especially if there are more then two thousands miniatures to organize. After putting in place all the others chambers, I got a little time to start organizing my LotR miniatures collection.

More than put them in my showcase in a fancy way, my objective is to verify each miniature and army to see what’s missing to complete my collection, and making a photo book to show then (whatever the condition of the miniature – painted, assembled, still in box, etc.), to prove that I got then all. Doing that, I got some (undesirable) surprises, as miniatures that I thought I have but I really haven’t.

So, to give you a little taste of what’s coming, I’ll post the photos of the army that I’ve finished to check.

Boa noite, amigos do esporte!

The blood season will soon start! Two friends of my Game Club came with the idea to launch a Bloodbowl League.

As I have bought some Bloodbowl miniatures two years ago (don’t ask me why, I don’t know why I did it), I started to paint the human team, composed of some plastic lineman from the first edition and some metal blizrit, throwers and catchers.

I thought of a color scheme green and yellow, the colors of my country. I’m still thinking about the name. Maybe Cruzeiros Reais or Pau Brasil. Any suggestions?

Vampire Diaries

Continuing my small projects, I got the vampire terror of Angmar, Gûlavhar.

I have painted this miniature there’s more than four months, but never finished its base.

Now it’s done.

Lost between boxes

If you follow my blog, you’d notice that my activity is kind slow than the usual.

I’m going to move to a new apartment next week, so I’m kind lost in all the confusion, boxes, minis and painting material. Also, as I’ve just finished my current projects (all my Eden miniatures and Avalon and Aurloks from Alkemy’s miniatures), I don’t want to start a new project in the middle of this mess.

So, to not waste my precious free time playing PS3, I have to search for some small projects to keep me busy.

I just packed my Cave Wyrm (LotR), and I found his hatchling and eggs. I decided then to paint the eggs and the hatchling and finish the base.

Here’s the result. For the base, I used a wallpaper to make it look like stones.

The Lady of Thorns

The great priest Caelina is finally released, and I couldn’t wait to paint her.

I think it’s one of my best works till now.

To guard her, always my faithful errand knight, one of the miniatures that use a lot in my Avalon army (the pictures are not very good).

 

 

 

 

The age of the Trolls has begun!

Wandering in front of my miniatures display, I saw a troll lurking in the in the bottom.

I start painting him before starting with Alkemy and even Eden, and he stayed forgotten until now.

I finished him, and profit to show his brothers.

I still got three others trolls to paint: the chief  and the catapult loader (shown in black prime). The last is the jewel of my troll collection: a rare metal version of the Isengard troll (no picture of it, cause his ‘bathing’ in acid to take out the horrible painting of his previous owner).

I say that he is a rare version because I never saw his box, and I thought that it was only a conversion of the metal Mordor troll (the one with a hammer).

 

 

 

 

End of the Show

To finish the freaking clows parade, I present you my last two miniatures of the Joker’s Gang.

First Mikaïl, the mimic. I was a little sick when I painted him, that’s why the straps in his shirt aren’t very straight. But I was satisfied of his face.

Then Bogdana, with her knives and bombs.

I know that it’s till some miniatures missing (Olya for the Joker’s Gang, and Sister Gracianne and Pain-main in the Matriarchy), but that’s the miniatures of Eden that I have (still waiting for news from Taban to know if I’m going to get this miniatures after my translation work).

I will try to do the bases, to complete the miniatures, and attack the Jade Triad miniatures of Alkemy.

However, don’t think that I forgot at all the Lord of the Rings. I’m working very hard on then, but not painting and not gamming, but collecting. I found a new updated guide (it's a unofficial guide, but very complete, you can download it in the previous link), and discovered some miniatures that I don’t have. You can check-out the missing miniatures in this post (update almost every week, after the eBays bidding in the weekend).
