Neves1789’s Wargaming Collection

It’s been a while since I updated, but I’ve been painting away on various projects. ^^

First up is my Tau Kill Team in a pink colourscheme. I figured people would hate Tau either way, so I went with pink just to annoy them more 😀

They’re preshaded and airbrushed with pink ink, then some blue pinwashes and white edge highlights. The osl effect is quickly drybrushed on in a couple of layers. The tufts are from GamersGrass.

Hope you like them!

Below are my Abyssal Dwarves for Kings of War. After a few years of hording those models left and right, the release of KoW v3 seemed like a good opportunity to get these guys painted up.The rubble on the bases was made with a rolling pin and some clay.

I used following speedpainting scheme;

•Zenithal priming
•Overall wash with a dark grey (Vallejo Panzer Tank Crew Black thinned with a bit of water and matt medium) This paint also contains some brown tones that come out when washing. This helps with the overall rust look.
•Selective stippling with Typhus Corrosion
•Rust washes (GW Firedragon Bright and Trollslayer orange)
•Bright silver drybrush (Vallejo Air Chrome)
•Colour in clothing with purple (GW Naggaroth Night), layer it up in 2 steps by adding more white.
•Colour in flesh tone (Vallejo Basic Skintone), purple ink wash, rehighlight
•Orc faces with Game Colour Scruff green, layered up in 2 steps by adding white.
•Green tufts on the bases for some added colour and contrast.

Phew we made it 😀

For those not aware, I did my spring cleaning challenge around finishing this project and logged it here:

Really glad it’s over but also satisfied that my entire collection is now ‘documented’ ^^

I’ll continue to use this project as a running log to track all the stuff that I’m going to paint. There’s allready some cool stuff in the works! 😀

As the title suggests, these forces are used for my Force on Force set in Chechnya during Russia’s wars there. Figures are from Eureka, armour from QRF.

The insurgents can represent most western looking type of organisation (to face my mates Brits for example). The Russians are specifically equipped like the MVD, the interior security forces.

The bases on the insurgents were an experiment and a little homage to the cover of the game Battlefield 3. The bases on the MVD were done in a different style to stand out when gaming but sadly they oxidized, I’ll have to go back and redo them.

Before I started my FoW ‘Nam collection, I painted these single 15mm figures for Force on Force. They are from the Command Decision range. These should come in handy again when the new Vietnam game from Ironfist Publishing releases!

Below are my US forces for ‘Nam. They’re a mix of aircavalry, mech, marines and regular infantry. Since BF only makes the one type of US infantry, they are multipurpose.

I really enjoyed painting these, especially the m113’s and their drawings on the side.

Welcome to the jungle! 😀

Below is a full PAVN Battalion for FoW ‘Nam. Speedpainted as most of my stuff (and the castings were pretty bad, so I didn’t bother too much).

In the future I might add in some armour, but I like to keep most of my ‘Nam games infantry centric.

Here are some of my ‘leftovers’ for Flames of War. They’re a mix of stuff that I can use in both midwar and latewar and don’t really match the Normandy theme.
