Lead Painter's League 2018 - Round 7 - Meeting the Maasai

This is my LPL round 7 image, "Meeting the Maasai". The figures are all Copplestone Castings- the flag carrier is a conversion based on a standard DOAG askari with a brass rod and freehand painted foil flag.

Lead Painter's League 2018 - Round 6 - Bakemono Banzai

Round 6 of the 2018 LPL was more Bob Olley orcs and goblins with a samurai vibe. I think I've been working on these since my first LPL (roughly 2011).

Lead Painter's League 2018 - Round 5 - Upside Down

This LPL entry was inspired by the Netflix series 'Stranger Things' (which I enjoyed very much).

 
The Hazmat troopers are Copplestone Castings, the monster of course is the epic Demogorgon originally made by Grenadier (now Mirlton).

Lead Painter's League 2018 - Round 4 - Enemy Sighted!

Round 4 was a themed round, which was to include a support weapon and crew. I had a couple options for crew and artillery, and settled on the Hinterland crew I'd had on the burner for a while. The gun and limber (made by Askari) had been assembled a few years ago. I prepped and based the horses along with the women, primed the lot and painted them to match my Leibhusaren No. 2 force.

Lead Painter's League 2018 - Round 3 - Planet of the Worm Men

This is my round 3 entry for the LPL. "Planet of the Worm Men". Another loser- I'm getting spanked this year!


The Worm Men are stock from Hydra Miniatures, the woman is a 'Valkeeri Leader' but I swapped her head for one from Statuesque Miniatures. The skimmer is from Pulp Alley.

Lead Painter's League 2018 - Round 1 - Pig Tickler

This is my first entry for the 2018 LPL.


This is a full set of miniatures for the game 'Pig Tickler' produced by Eureka Miniatures, plus two extra stokers from the first variant of the game. The pennons are thin foil from a wine bottle, painted different colors so that players can identify their piece. I stole that idea from Matakishi. I've had these minis for years, and they probably wouldn't have gotten done at all if not for the 'British' theme on round 1.

Haven't played it yet, but it's a game of mayhem as players try to maneuver around scoring points for 'tickling' the steam powered pig, all the while dodging stokers and the pig itself.
