	Renegade Legion: Centurion Closer view of the grav tanks.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion And the other half.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion Tiger stripes, ofcourse.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion The green ones in the back row are Liberator medium tanks while the red ones in the middle are medium APCs, plus a light tank in the front.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion TOG mediums were called Romulus and Remus, but I forget which was which.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion Light tanks. These colors are really boring, but the crappy models didn't really warrant much painting effort.
	Epic Eldar Eldar force. I think this is actually the entire Eldar complement in the 2nd edition starter box.
	Epic Eldar This is the real Falcon! There's a green-on-green camo there actually, but it's a bit too subtle.
	Epic Eldar And more tiger stripes.
	Epic Eldar Eldar infantry. If you zoom real close, you might see some tiger stripes.
	Blue Dragon This was one of the first figures I bought, ever. This is the second paintjob he has - you don't want to see what he used to look like...
	Epic Robots These are actually not GW. The robots are from Heroics and Ros while the laser towers came with an AT-AT model.
	Epic Robots There were two types of robots: Heavy and light. These are the light ones.
	Epic Robots And here's a glimpse of the heavy ones.
	Epic Laser Towers Originally intended to be Hoth-white, I painted them black instead.
	Epic Orks For some reason, I really hated the ork miniatures. I never painted any of the infantry and these are the only battlewagons I actually finished.
	Epic Orks Closeup on the stupid skull thing.
	Epic Orks Well, at least these were easy to paint...
	Epic Space Marine All my painted epic scale space marines in their glory.
	Epic Space Marine Support section containing various conversions I did after I got bored with painting the basic models.
	Epic Space Marine This conversion is inspired by the Hetzer tank hunter. I've simply drilled a hole and glued one of the epic flag poles as a barrel. Note how the disc at the end of the pole is cut in half to simulate a muzzle brake.
	Blue Dragon And the wings. There was some cracking in the wing joints I had to strengthen with glue.
	Epic Space Marine Whirlwinds converted using missile pods from Dark Future.
	Epic Space Marine AA model converted using lascannons from a Land Raider.
	Epic Space Marine Well, well, finally some use for the battlewagons - their turrets fit the Rhino perfectly.
	Epic Space Marine Closeup of the AA model.
	Epic Space Marine Land Raider Tank Hunters. Streamlined by chopping off the lascannons, serious firepower added by gluing a 28mm lasgun. Or maybe they are heavy support artillery...
	Epic Space Marine Closeup on the Land Raider conversion.
	Epic Space Marine Side view of the heavy gun 'raider.
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts. For some reason there's much less infantry than for the black guys.
	Epic Space Marine Closeup on Purple Hearts Rhinos.
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts Land Raiders.
	Rögon the Balrog Dragon This a Ral Partha figure. Rather nice, even though it really belongs on a larger base.
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts Whirlwinds.
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts Tank Hunters
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts AA.
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts Marines. Note the chevrons on the shoulder pad.
	Epic Space Marine Purple Hearts Marines.
	Epic Space Marine The Black Guys. I never really thought about these guys, I just painted them black because I needed two distinct forces and black was faster to paint. Maybe that's why they have more infantry.
	Epic Space Marine Closeup on the Rhinos. If you look carefully, you might catch a hint of dark green highlighting. Maybe they are Salamanders after all?
	Epic Space Marine Land Raider closeup.
	Epic Space Marine Command/AA Rhino.
	Epic Space Marine And the marines themselves.
	Rögon the Balrog Dragon I could have used a more varied color scheme. The mane is done in orange, but the effect is too subtle to really notice...
	Rögon the Balrog Dragon From above, demonstrating the dynamic snake-like pose.
	Rögon the Balrog Dragon And the back. The weapons are a bit dull being just black and all that.
	Undead Giant This is an old Grenadier model. Much better than the new GW Tomb Giant, if I may say so.
	Undead Giant The staff could use more color, though.
	Undead Giant Back view. Very simple to paint, really. White base, brown wash for the bandages and rotting flesh for the exposed bits.
	Undead Dino Back when Jurassic Park came out dino-toys were all the rage. I bought one of those 'then and now' sets, with a live dino and a skeleton. This is made from the skeleton, I never used the live one.
	Black Dragon This is an old Grendel figure. It's very dusty, as you can see.
	Undead Dino The howdah uses a film roll tube as basis and the bones are made from sprue. I melted the ends with a candle.
	Undead Dino The rider is a bog standard Citadel plastic skeleton.
	Undead Dino I think she's Ral Partha, but I'm not quite sure.
	Undead Dino Sorceress And here's a better look at the gal.
	Undead Dino Sorceress Sorceress from the back.
	Lord of Change This is the classic Lord of Change model from GW. I bought and painted it when it was new.
	Lord of Change I did this for a fantasy project that never got this far... the story of my life.
	Lord of Change Wings from the back. Though it's not perfect, I'm actually rather satisfied with this.
	Lord of Change Closeup on the face. I could have used a contrasting brim on the loincloth.
	Robot Specialised siege robot from early days of 40K. It's missing the weapon on the back, because I converted this as a part of a fantasy battle project... that never got anywhere, as you might have guessed.
	Black Dragon It's actually a rather nice figure, all-resin, that would really deserve a brighter color scheme.
	Robot Closeup on the head area. The black color scheme is a bit boring...
	Robot And here's the back. The shield covers the back weapon installation point.
	Robot Another view of the robot.
	Oldies Standard bearer for my very own chapter if space marines: The Purple Hearts. Yup, that's a LEGO helmet on the flagpole.
	Oldies The heavy bolter is (badly) converted from a regular bolter using various bits and pieces.
	Oldies And that's a genuine bullet hole. After the flag was finished, in a flash of brilliance I shot it with an airgun. Most of the paint flaked off from the impact and I had to repaint the damn thing all over again...
	Oldies And THIS is a venerable dreadnought. Don't buy into that current stuff that looks like overgrown pigs, this is the real thing: Contemptor class dreadnought 'Eddy'. I think.
	Oldies Closeup on the missile launcher arm.
	Oldies For some reason, I was really into writing slogans on miniatures at this time. I guess it seemed like a display of painting prowess to be able to paint legible text in this scale.
	Oldies Man I feel old. Did I really think up all those stupid slogans?
	Black Dragon Closeup on the head.
	Oldies Closeup on slogans.
	Oldies And ofcourse it had to have eyes and teeth.
	Adeptus Titanicus Remember Adeptus Titanicus? That was GW's attempt to grab a piece of the giant robot market. Not so successful, but it gave birth to Space Marine, aka 40K Epic.
	Adeptus Titanicus This is a plastic Warlord titan from the original game box. The real thing, you know.
	Adeptus Titanicus In brilliant imperial purple, equipped with a defense laser, two plasma cannons and a powerfist for close up action.
	Adeptus Titanicus In Space Marine 2nd edition they changed all the names of the weapons. Heretics! I want my Marco Cannon!
	Adeptus Titanicus Adeptus Titanicus was really the first game where Horus Heresy was brought to limelight. Largely because of production economics, I guess. GW could only afford to do one set of plastics, so they had to come up with an excuse why samey-looking guys are fighting each other.
	Adeptus Titanicus These are metal miniatures, a Reaver and two Warhounds. My Reaver came with the stupid back spike, so I replaced it with a plastic missile launcher.
	Adeptus Titanicus Two more plastic Warlords. There were six in the box.
	Adeptus Titanicus Three more plastic Warlord titans from the game box.
	Black Dragon Sideview. The wings are a bit thick, though.
	Adeptus Titanicus Metal Warhound up close. You can see the metal epic scale marine on the base: At first they started doing these as cute add-ons for the titan kits.
	Adeptus Titanicus Closeup on the Warhound. This figure is done entirely with ink washes over bare metal. That waas another phase I was going through - it works really great on metal knights in full plate armor.
	Adeptus Titanicus Warhound from the back.
	Adeptus Titanicus Metal Reaver. These cost as much as two or three plastic ones, but the detail is better (lack of detail was a problem with early Citadel large plastic kits - my guess is they did the masters in the same scale as the smaller stuff, they just didn't shrink it quite as much for production moulds).
	Adeptus Titanicus This is also done with ink washes over bare metal. Well, the red panels are. The rest is normal paint.
	Adeptus Titanicus Multi-melta and a chainfist. The metal chainfist is much better than the plastic one.
	Adeptus Titanicus Top view.
	Adeptus Titanicus Another Warhound. This one is done with normal paints.
	Adeptus Titanicus Nicely obscured by the cotton smoke screen.
	Adeptus Titanicus Warhound from above.
	Black Dragon And a closer view from behind.
	Adeptus Titanicus Warlord titan 'Rainbow Warrior'. There just happened to be 7 panels (5 on carapace and 2 on legs), so I painted each one in a different color.
	Adeptus Titanicus The runes are just random gibberish.
	Adeptus Titanicus Top view shows the Imperial Eagle emblem. The kits had two head variants but only one carapace, so unless you felt like scraping it off, the chaos guys also carried the eagle.
	Adeptus Titanicus There was something in the rules linking the amount of weapons carried to the speed of the titan. This is a fast scout model, intended to fire off its support missiles and then close into melee.
	Adeptus Titanicus Multi-melta is a powerful but short-ranged weapon.
	Adeptus Titanicus Why are missiles always painted white with red nose cones?
	Adeptus Titanicus The Pink Avenger. Customised with plastic marine chain-bayonet and a chaingun from Dark Future.
	Adeptus Titanicus Another view of the Pink Avenger.
	Adeptus Titanicus The models came with multiple antennas, but they were just begging to snap off, so in the end I didn't use them at all.
	Adeptus Titanicus I think this blue one was the first one I did. Armed with a missile launcher, defense laser and a las-cutter, or las-gutter as it was often called.
	Purple Worm This is an old Grenadier figure, I think. It sat on my desk for a very long time when I had a sort of painting hiatus going. Then I just finished it.
	Adeptus Titanicus This is a medium class configuration, if I remember correctly.
	Adeptus Titanicus IMHO, the nice thing about Adeptus Titanicus was that titan weapons were just multiples of the normal heavy weapons in the game. If you ask me, they went astray when they started adding new weapons into the game.
	Adeptus Titanicus I think this was the second one I painted. My red paint was not very good, as you can see on the carapace.
	Adeptus Titanicus Macro Cannon and two Autocannon(4)'s - a good combination. Autocannons are cheap and effective knocking down void shields while the macro cannon packs the punch to actually inflict criticals. Titans are so large you can't just whittle away their hit points with pinpricks, you need to be able to cause critical hits.
	Adeptus Titanicus And here's the horrid carapace.
	Ogre Pan-European Fencer. I actually rather like the model. Too bad it was ruined by a batch of bad varnish I had...
	Ogre Another view of the Fencer. Note how bad the decals are.
	Ogre Fencer was sort of poor man's Ogre, if I recall correctly.
	Ogre A MkIII Ogre in Combine colors. The black scheme is a bit dull (and dusty!). I was trying for an eyeball effect here, but it really doesn't come through.
	Ogre Side view of MkIII Ogre.
	Purple Worm Pretty simple really. Purple base, wash and highlight. A bit of detail work and that's it.
	Ogre MkIII Ogre view from the top.
	Ogre This an Ogre MkV. I was going through my tiger stripe phase when I painted this one.
	Ogre I think the MkV is better than the black MkIII, but it is a bit monotonous. Perhaps the eyeball thing would have worked better with the two main batteries.
	Ogre MkV from the side. The join between front and rear hull is very weak for a very very heavy metal model.
	Ogre These are the old Ral Partha models. There's an error here: The MkV has only 12 AP batteries, therefore there are 4 extra ones in the back.
	Valkyrie This is a plastic model, 1/200 I think. Or even smaller, though the proportions may be off (very common with toys).
	Valkyrie That's a VF-1S Super, TV series version.
	Armored Valkyrie These were supposed to be the same scale (1/200), but as you can see, they're really not.
	Armored Valkyrie There are essentially toys, they're not very good models.
	Armored Valkyrie I did these when we were playing Mecha! a lot with 'full scale' models. These were for the light stuff, real men used 1/100 Macross or 1/144 Gundam models.
	Purple Worm I like the emerging-from-ground base. It doesn't look big enough to swallow adventurers whole, though.
	Armored Valkyrie I'm really not very good at all with plastic models.
	Silent Death These are from the original Silent Death. They changed the designs for the second edition - some for the better, some for the worse.
	Silent Death This is a Salamander. It reminds me more of a condor or something, though. I absolutely hate the new model, this is a much better design.
	Silent Death As you can guess, these are still from the tiger stripe phase.
	Silent Death And this one is called Pharsii II, I think. It's seriously off-scale, it's really one of the heaviest fighters in the game.
	Silent Death Another view of the Pharsii.
	Epic I scratch-built these from various bits and pieces to be used as super-heavy tanks in Epic/Adeptus Titanicus/Space Marine.
	Epic The hull is from an unknown toy tank, the turret base from Dark Future, the gun is a titan las-cutter and the magazine comes from a flakvierling kit.
	Epic The hull is actually a racing car I got from an easter egg (the hood and cockpit are puttied), the missiles might be from a Hind-D I never finished.
	Renegade Legion: Centurion These are the models from the game box. Rather crappy, really, I've seen better stuff in cereal boxes.
	Blue Dragon This is an old Tom Meier figure he did for Citadel in mid-80's or so. I think it was actually called Oriental Dragon.
