Destroyer Tank Hunter...

Tanks... I've always been a fan. From WWI iron behemoths to WWII's powerhouses they have always amazed me.
I have built a few scale panzers but for a Krieg mobilized army what could not be more interesting.
This is a work in progress of a Destroyer from Forgeworld. It's Stug 'look' is a favorite. As the story goes... it is supposed to be some sort of archaic weapon and I chose to weather the paint appropriately. For a Krieg army I am very keen to get hold of a filter for the rear engine cover but unfortunately these are not available separately from Forge World so I may have to rebuild one from a Super Heavy Tank filter kit. Back in the day- 20+ years ago- I seem to remember GW offering a service where each white metal part was itemised and could be purchased individually, if only Forge World could adopt this.
Next stage washes and dust...

More Vikings...

More Gripping Beast Saga Vikings joining the warband. The warlord was a lot of fun with a raised base and terrain with a scratchbuilt arrow and axe along with a section of ruin. As most of the weapon hands are just sleaved sections I have been resculpting thumbs to hold the spears and axes in place. Also a sculpted grip for the shield- a minor detail but I think it is essential for the warlord. Nine down, around eleven to go.

Updates...

More Guardsmen finished and a slight update to the dragon's teeth tank traps- broken rebar. I am pretty happy with this piece and was thinking of re-sculpting the aquilas for a more generic/non GW look.
The old metal Cadian was great to paint- nice solid details and great gesture. More to come...

Updates...

More Vikings for the SAGA warband and sculpting updates from the bench...
I love these Gripping beast pieces but the detailing is quite soft and the poses very simple- I'm keen to sculpt some more detailed vikings with a view to cast in white metal or resin.

Hirdmen...

Slow painting progress but here is a quick update with a couple of Viking Hirdmen.

Gunnar Hamundarson

While waiting for my Saga viking warband to arrive in the post I thought I'd get started on a leader...
Still undecided whether to add snow to the base. These Gripping Beast metal miniatures are a lot of fun to paint.

Update...

Slowly updating the fimo sculpt and something a little different... Gunnar Hamundarson from the dark age skirmish- Saga. I've decided to use the 40mm GW style base and added a raven and tree stump.
