Found Treasures and what's on the table

Hi All,

I am in the process of trying to clean up all my junk. In the bottom of a box, in a plastic sandwich bag, I found these.


I believe these were part of a trade I did with Jeff K. at Brian's birthday bash last year. I gave him a couple of unopened blisters of Orc archers, if memory serves. Of course it could be some other transaction I've completely forgotten, who knows. The important thing is I found some cool figures.

From top left Clockwise: Chaos Renegade "One-Eye" 070302/13 in the 1991 Blue Catalog here, Plague Monk with Warp Scroll and Dagger 074406/10 from the 1991 Red Catalog here, An unlisted Marauder Orc Shaman from the MM20 range here (scroll to the bottom, first picture in unlisted.),  Servitor 2 072000/2 from here and here (I had a hard time finding him), and lastly First Space Marine Scout from the Uncataoged Rogue Trader section here.

Cool stuff. Oh, and if you have a Chaos Renegade backpack you're willing to let go, let me know.

Anyway I haven't gotten a lot done but here's what's on the table.


I'm concentrating on the IG right now in an attempt to get them done for week 8 of BeerMaW.


The basic idea is black and grey for Borborygmus Prime. I went with Walnut for the straps and pouches/scabbards. I just didn't want too much straight black, it's boring. For the guns I'm thinking dark metallics.

I pulled out Abdul Goldberg to remind myself how I painted the chainsword and found a couple of chips in the paint on his hair. I can't catch a break with this guy. My Genestealer leader also had a chip on the tip of his pistol thing. Perhaps my home made foam case isn't so great. I'm going to look into bubble wrap pouches. One kickstarter sent figures in those and that might help.

Thanks for looking, hope your hobbying is going well.

    1. Thanks Iannick. They are cool. I'm told the Orc is pretty rare and I've never seen the SM scout before.

    1. Hi Prufrock, thanks. It just occurred to me that this is a similar paint scheme to how I painted my Airfix Germans when I was twelve.
