These are the last Brotherhood troops I had to paint, now I have a small, but usable force, with a little bit of options for list composition.

Dark Angel captain
This model is one of the 6 MK VII armour Space marines captains that were released in 1990, it is a super classic and, even if my paint job doesn't make it justice, I'm happy to have it in my collection.
I still have the Space Wolves one to paint and then I will have all six done.

Battletech Comstar mechs
I am slowly completing forces for the different factions of Battletech I have.
This is the turn of Comstar/Word of Blake, I had a few mechs painted the classic white of the militia, but I wanted to complete the level II of 6 mechs.
Since Comstar is known to still have functioning old tech, I included a couple of LAM mechs and other classic mechs that would have been kept in good state of repair over the centuries.

Warzone Dark Eden tribe, Crescentians
I always had a weird fascination for the Earth Tribes, I got in to Warzone towards the end of Second Edition and models were not readily available at the time, even more so the Earth tribes ones.
Last year during a visit to the Sentry Box in Calgary, I found out they still had a bunch of Warzone figures, so I proceeded to get as many as I could and it turned out that most of them were Earth Tribes models.
The Crescentians were the tribe I manage to get almost everything of, I will only need a Prophet and 3 Martyrs to have one unit or character per type, but I am pretty satisfied with what I found.
I started painting these models just over a month ago and it turned out that they are very intricate sculpts with a ton of details, so it took me quite long to complete them, but here they are and I am really happy to have completed them, not I only have to find an excuse to field them in a game or two.

Few random Warzone models
This week just a few Warzone models that I recently painted.
I am currently working on the Earth tribes, specifically the Crescentians, but since they are very intricate models with lots of details, I needed a break and I painted something simpler.

Battletech is back
In my effort to finish painting all the Battletech miniatures I accumulated over the past few years, here are 2 more mechs I just finished.
They will complete a lance of Draconis Combine 4th Arkab Legion I started a couple of years back (or more). I think these might be the very last Draconis Combine mechs I had to paint, the force is pretty huge by now and I doubt I will ever need more mechs for the DCMS.

Warhammer 40,000 Blood Angels chaplain
This is a model I have owned for over 20 years, I figured it was time to paint it.
It is a very simple model, but I really enjoyed painting it, it brought back memories of 40K second edition, the one I played the most and the one I have the best memories of.

RPG animals
This week I only have a few little animals I painted for RPG and maybe wargames.
These are the kind of models I keep on the side of my painting area and when I have leftover of colours on the palette I paint parts of them, at some point I find they are done and I have extra bits and bobs to use in games with little to no effort, they might not be the best, but they get the job done on the table top.

A few poieces of sci-fi terrain
These are a few pieces of sci-fi terrain I recently finished.
The Battletech buildings are made with orange juice bottle caps, I saw some similar ones online somewhere and it seemed such good idea, they took very little work and are very nice.
The pallets are from some note pads that a freight company gave us at work as promotional material, I just stuck some pipes and crates on them and gave them a quick paint job, pretty nice result.

More Warzone goodies
These are a few more Warzone figures I finished recently.
The Cybertronic Chemiman was disappeared as a unit between the first and second edition of the game, I don't know if it was re-introduced in later editions, but I figured I could make up some rules for it or just use it as a Cuirassier, it is big and intimidating enough to pass for one.
The Sons of Rasputin are a nice faction from the Earth tribes, but I only have 5 models for them, let's hope I can find more in the future.
