Community Spotlight: Judgement Beasts, Mortal Realms Warriors & Tanks
May 29, 2019 by crew
Come and join us for another delve into the Forums and Projects to find the best of the best from the last week or so. We're going to be getting stuck into lots of great looking pieces this week...
...make sure to always let us know what YOU have been working on and share it across the site.
Judgement Creatures by irishsteve
We're kicking things off with some fantastic painting by irishsteve for his Judgement collection. This game comes with all sorts of larger miniatures for use in the game and he's finished off two of them so far.
The first of the models is Thorgar, crushing one of his foes into the floor as he continues his charging rampage. I think that the painting here, as you might have guessed, is top notch and really works to show off the brutal and dangerous warrior. The lighter metallics alongside the darker tunic works really nicely. I like the extra effort that has gone into the weathering and such across the model, giving him a battle-hardened look.
We also got the painting of this pesky looking fellow, Haksa. I love that the painting here has created a character which seems to exist within the same world of Thorgar but with an entirely different look.
The things that really caught my eye from this piece were the amazing staff with all those dulled colours worked into the woodwork and the awesome tattoos that he has adorning his body. The facial details have to be commended as well, giving him a look of pure malice and anger.
Age Of Sigmar Warbands by curis
Next up we're looking to the work of another masterful painter, curis, who has been getting stuck into the Mortal Realms of Age Of Sigmar with an Orruk warband from Wahammer Underworlds.
The photography here is great and really helps bring the models up to another level but when you look closely you'll see that each of the characters is packed with detail too. I love the yellow armour, the battered weapons and the flame patterns wrapping up across their shoulder pads.
We're also looking back to the oldschool with some vintage Tzaangors from the 1990s and the Citadel team. Check these out for a look back in time!
The modern techniques used on these miniatures has worked a charm and even with the dynamic new sculpts I could still see these getting added into the mix as part of an Age Of Sigmar army or within the game Silver Tower. The work on the metallics here is particularly impressive, giving them an ancient and eldritch feel.
Leopard Tank by fourtytwo
Finally, we're looking to the work of fourtytwo and this awesome Leopard II tank which can be used in games of Team Yankee.
Whilst this looks like a tank which has just come out of the box, fourtytwo actually put in a lot of work to take this to the next level with the antennas and extra stowage which has been placed around the turret and main hull of the tank.
As well as the work making this particular tank look awesome there's also some additional help on making camouflage for these kinds of tanks as well over on the project and more too.
As a whole, these are some mean looking and very realistic tanks which look like they fit right into the period. I really do commend folks for painting effective camo patterns like this whilst not making it look like a child has applied paint to something!
