Friday night loot

Last Friday in the game club, my friend Igor delivered me a lot of stuffs:

Elven spearmen regiments (from Kings of War): we’re going to use these miniatures for the speed painting in the miniature event that we’re organizing – the JFJ2012 (click here for the official link of the event).
By paying a full ticket for the event (10€), you can inscribe to participate of the speed painting, and take one of these miniatures to paint in less then an hour (the painting material will be supplied by the event). Also, that ticket let you participate to the others painting events, and also of the tournaments that will be take place in the event.
But attention: the places are limited, so you’ll have to buy the anticipated ticket to assure your participation.

Still in the JFJ2012 spirit, I got three exclusives miniatures from the passed editions of the JFJ: the charming sniper Artémia (JFJ2007), the sexy ‘lady’ Angelface (JFJ2008) and the feline warrior Léhéna (JFJ2009).
As soon as I finished painting them, I’ll post and add their companions from JFJ2010 and 2011.
Also, by paying the full ticket, you get the exclusive miniature of Ikiria, the Red Angel..

For my Christmas present, I got the foams to keep safe my Dreadfleet and Space Hulk miniatures.

Smells like fish spirit

To celebrate the Halloween (even if it has already passed), here come the monsters.

The Seadrake, one of the most beautiful ship of the fleet, with his dragons.

On the other side, the hideous, stinking, rotting and infested carcass of the Skrabus. I take a lot of time to paint the interior of the beast, only to discover that it’s almost impossible to see it when the miniature is closed.

Also, to finish all the painting of this collection, the mini-mes: the little scout ships of all the fleet.

Now with all the ships ready, I’ll try to take a photo of all the ships… wait and see.

Material and immaterial evil

To face the elemental reinforce of the Great Alliance, the evil side responds in the physical and ethereal world.

From the deep comes the iron terror of the Black Kraken, and from the death’s veil, the Shadewaith.

Air, Water, Fire and …. Iron?

The four elements join the battle in the sea.

The elemental ship of the Golden Magus comes with the speed of the wind, the flow of the water and the rage of the fire.

For the earth, none could represent that as good as the dwarves in their iron clad.

Password: Swordfish

The next ship leaves the harbor: Espadon (Swordfish).

As the hull and sails are all black, it was fast to paint it. The details in gold have good relieves, so it was easy to paint without messing the hull color.

The Dread and the Cursed

The Dreadfleet does his first appearance, and leading the bloodshed is the mischievous Cont Noctilus, in his ‘Naufrago’ (Shipwreck in English). I like the french name (Naufrageur) more them the English (Bloodreaver), and I translated it to Portuguese.

The Curse of Zandri.Joining joins the force of evil.

It took me 1,5 days to paint ‘Naufrago’, and about 3 hours the Curse of Zandri. I think that I paint the hardest ship first (Heldenhammer), so the others are going easier. I specially enjoyed painting ‘Naufrago’, because of all the different wreckages and components.

Curse of Zandri was fun to paint also, as it is very different from the others more ‘shipish’ ships.
