Winter is coming. Bassman goes vintage!

After many years I should come back and claim what is rightfully mine! :twisted:

Too many plastic executioners in this forum, but I claim to be one of the first to have this idea five years ago: http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?t= ... +bassman76

Believe it or not, for many reasons, it took five years to paint them.
I know it's so lame, but I fell in love with Chaos Dwarfs http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showt ... p?tid=3392
having almost complete that project now I'm back to my first love: Dark Elves!

Stop wasting time and let pictures speak for me:

My favourite three:

The altar of Khaine, simple and stylish

Do not worry, this time you will not have to wait 5 years :?:

Beautifully converted and painted! Really like your painting style, and the basing looks simple but very effective. The red belts add a nice splash of colour, as does the banner. Nice work!

I waited so long! You make me want to work on old Dark Elf projects too.

Congrats on finishing, I had lost all hope.

Those look fantastic, nice job! Quick question how did you do the bases?

Cant wait to see more!

Killingblowtotheface · Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:54 am

I actually love those! Great idea for a conversion mate!

Thank you, it's nice to be back to my first love!

For whom is interested in my basing this is a picture of the bases without miniatures.
I sculpted a piece of those insulating panels you place on walls. It was a leftover from some job at home.

It was a while I wanted to try a winter theme and watching Games of thrones gave me the final push

Snow is made with soda carbonate

Lord Tsunami: well, they actually wear heavy armor so I wanted them bulkier

actually are very old sculpts, some of my first attempts at sculpting. Today they would be slender. Let's see what's going on with rest of the army

Laybe: ehhehe I lost hope as well

Please go back to your dark elves! I used to love them. My Chaos Dwarfs say hello to your sorceress

Right, off to go throw my de in the bin for the umptenth time. Awesome work on the altar, my rocks and sprue altar just committed suicide in envy.

I have been working on Dark Elves, believe it or not... Is there really a rest of your army? I thought you only had Executioners.

Bassman76 · Post by **Bassman76** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:38 am

Ok, you already saw her here but I added snow to let my Winter Queen to join my winter incursion.

Layne: yes I do have more Dark Elves to show you.
I'm happy to know you have worked on your Darkies!

thank you.

Here more Darkies, this time crossbowmen.
These are miniatures I painted 7-8 years ago. I refreshed their paintjob, remade basing and added command and banner.

More recruits for my winter incursion army.
This Hag Queen/sorceress is calling new fresh recruits for my crossbow regiment.
Now I have 20 of them, good for two 10 elves regiments or a big 20 one.

Here you can see the lady in her beauty. I never liked her staff and I want to use her as an Hag Queen. So let get rid of her stuff and I gave her a nice pole weapon I scratch built.

I had this miniature for ages (10 years?) and I am really happy to have her painted. I think she is a gorgeous model (but the staff). Hope I gave her a proper paint job.

Great job, and nice colours!

Lord tsunami · Post by **Lord tsunami** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 10:05 pm

i really like that purple on the robes. i think you overdid it a bit with the halberd thingy though. i had a sorceress like that where i replaced the staff with a spear before, but this is a bit too large for my taste. but as they say, there is no kill like overkill

Bassman76 · Post by **Bassman76** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:45 pm

Thank you.

Lord Tsunami: this time I do agree with you. The halberd is a little too large for my taste.
I'm tempted to get rid of it and redo. Maybe in next future.

Post by **Layne** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:19 am

The paint job on her is proper though. You could perhaps replace the blade with a plastic corsair blade.

Lord_azoth · Post by **Lord_azoth** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 9:00 pm

really nice hag..maybe a bit of blood in her huge blade?

Bassman76 · Post by **Bassman76** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 4:51 pm

Oh, my... I've been far away from this blog for too long!
The Hag already has a new smaller blade. Pics will come very soon....

More projects on the go... wish to post something soon.
