ROHIRRIMS !!!! [Alliance – 72051 – Steppes Warriors. Set 1 (1/72) ]

 Hi gents ! 

I've had difficulties to finish to paint those 6 riders of Rohan... 

They are supposed to be "Steppes Warriors" but it's easy to see the inspiration of this (nice) set. Good figures, especially the horses. Minor conversions for the warriors with spears and I've added flags to be more "rohirrish". 

I don't know exactly what I will do in my future but I'm not sure to paint many 1/72 any more. I'm out real inspiration and motivation for what I've in stock....and I don't see new figures which make me enthusiast . I've some unfinished sets or figures so maybe I will paint them but no new project yet. 

I've also a big project with about 70 figures all painted but I'm too lazy for doing the scenery ! 

Only one thing is sure : in next posts, you will see Mithril figures, maybe it's easier (for me!)  to paint them than the 1/72 figures ? 

Well, stop blabla and now some pictures :

(LIGHT) ALLIANCE FANTASY : "Dwarves" set 1 completed

In 2013, I've painted 2 figures of this set and like I've recently painted the Set 2 (here), I was thinking that it was a good thing to complete the set 1!
This nice set of 11 poses is quite pleasant to paint and  fit perfectly with the set 2, except that the sculpt is a little bit less precise.

 The whole set :

Closer pictures !

"(LIGHT) ALLIANCE" : DWARVES (set 2) #72008 -Painted Review

After the "Half-Orcs", the "Orcs", it's time to show the "DWARVES" !

I could painted them in Tartan dress  because of the Bagpiper !
so I could have named them "Scottish Dwarves" !

Pictures are better than a lot of blabla ... and I don't know what to say about this set!
just: it's a good set, with very dynamic figures.... I like them !

If you are interested, one picture to compare the Alliance Dwarves and the Caesar Dwarves:

and to finish this post and this first serie of the ALLIANCE Fantasy range, a picture of the Big Band which  is the specialist of  

"Orck&Troll Music" : 

"SHAKHAI PORCNK"

(on the flag, you can read "We Play The Best Music Over the World" )

"'(Dark) ALLIANCE" : ORCS (set 3) #72003 -Painted Review

I've finished to paint the "Orcs" set 3 of the Fantasy Range from Alliance.

It's the same style than the sets 1 et 2 (I didn't still paint them) with a surprising "female orc" !

For more details on this set, better to go to "Cheap Fantasy Minis"

I've just painted the figures at all !

coming soon : 
-ALLIANCE "DWARVES" (set 2)
-Old West Buildings (3/5 finished, maybe 5/5 in the next days ...)
-BUM Whaling Boat (Roger Rangers)

"'(Dark) ALLIANCE" : HALF-ORCS Infantry #72016 (set 2) -Painted Review -

I've painted one the new Fantasy sets from ALLIANCE :
the Half-Orcs Infantry (2)... I don't know why the "2" before the "1"... 

1- the whole "band" : 
the poses are not too bad but have a little bit too much almost similar poses and the sculpt is quite flat like says 1Mac -Mike (Orcs set 3 review : "Cheap Fantasy Figures" ).
No surprise about the inspiration...

With closer pictures :
The "static poses": the standard-bearer  and the musicians :

The Shooting Uruks: only 1 archer, not a lot ! maybe there will be other ones in the next sets ?

The Fighting Uruks : almost similar poses ...

and the whole set again in a more "lively" picture :

About the painting work : not great, but not bad for me (oups!) : not easy to find colours for almost dark characters ! I've tried to forget the greenish skin with a more grey one and I have added some touches of bronze and copper mixed with grey.

Like I've said before, I'm painting 2 other ALLIANCE sets  :
ORCS (set 3)  #72003  and Dwarves (set 2) #72008
They are 90% finished, so I will post them very soon.

A small "teaser" : 

I've seen that some new sets are at the retailers so I will have to go to the market !

I wish you a nice Sunday and a good week.

I'm crazyyyyyyyyyy ! ??

Hi ! This evening I was painting and suddenly , I've realized that I have no more place on my tables !!
So I've decided to make a review of what was on them ...
So far, all is well, you think, that's normal ... 

and...

... I've listed all the projects, finished or not :

16 !!! (without the new sets and projects waiting somewhere!) 

they are :

-Monks for "Monkth Challenge" (2 on the way., 10+ primed or begun..)

-Orcs for "Orctober" (2 couples begun, 1 set in the box..)

-Dwarves for "Dwarvember" (2 projects, one begun and one on the box!)

-Ship for "Pirates Islands" (finished, waiting for pictures)

-Whaling ship and pontoon + figures (almost finished, just oars to find or scratchbuild)

-Tombstone figures (2 sets finished, waiting for pictures)

-Old West women (2 small sets, finished, waiting for pictures)

- 5 West Town buildings : 2 finished (waiting pictures ... ), 2 started and  1 waiting for place on the desk!

-Market accessories (almost finished)

-Mounties (almost finished....)

That's crazy, is not it ? 

Do you think  that I'm mad, or is it normal ? 

                                         

DWARVEMBER PART III / CAESAR DWARVES

My entry for the 3rd week of Dwarvember :

4 dwarves from Caesar Miniatures in 1/72 

The runes on the banner mean: "Dwarf Power !"
Les runes sur la banière disent : "Les Nains au Pouvoir  !"

Like Peter has suggested me in my precedent post, I add some pictures to compare both Dark Alliance and Caesar Dwarves. The DA are a little bit taller than the Casear but they could fit well. (I've just noticed that Peter is painting the Caesar Dwarves too !!! look here :

 "Peter's Cave"! : 

it's Dwarvember everywhere! )

Comme Peter me l'a suggéré dans mon précédent post, je rajoute quelques photos pour comparer à la fois les Nains Dark Alliance et Caesar . Les DA sont un peu plus grands que les Caesar mais ils pourraient aller assez bien ensemble.
(Je viens de m'apercevoir que Peter peint les Nains Caesar également!  regardez ici: 

 "Peter's Cave"! 

  c'est "Dwarvember" partout)

Dark Alliance      Caesar

The Last Dwarf will be shown the 30th of Dwarvember
