Post by: Wrathraven on July 09, 2009, 12:43:31 PM: :D thanks, i'll try to keep it comin'. I have to read the whole forum, very interesting stuff 8) We had a Chronopia tournament in my city last weekend, and now we are going to try to play battles once every month. ;D

Post by: luckyone on July 09, 2009, 05:14:33 PM: What city do you live in? Is there a large Warzone/Chronopia crowd there?
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on July 09, 2009, 11:27:52 PM: I'm from Warsaw, Poland. We got here like 10 players, but near Warsaw there is another little city where is another 10, and we gather players from whole country once every year. There is much more Warzone players thou and many of Chronopia players also play Warzone.

Post by: Wrathraven on July 10, 2009, 05:31:46 AM: It might be a shame, but i didnt play Warzone yet- the bows/swords/axes and so on are closer to me than guns. I like the Chronopia 4 the storyline and need 4 close combats...

I think you would be surprised how much CC can happen in Warzone with the right armies.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on July 14, 2009, 02:07:39 AM: maybe, but i have not enought money to buy Warzone and Chronopia, and the Chronopia is closer to me... Maybe becouse i fight with with sword by my own. (the medival knights and so on...) ;-) i just prefer fantasy than sci-fi.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Von Koss on July 15, 2009, 04:58:02 PM: Hands down favorite ... the "Enlightened". The mask is incredible with crisp colors. The loin cloth is very good and with the "fluffy" background checker board pattern it makes me sigh in resignation knowing I don't have the steady hand required to do that type of painting justice to the model.

The Iron guard was a close second with the converted Repulsar Knight running close behind. Well done. One question: What brand of paint did you use on that "Enlightened"...good stuff.

I will keep an eye out for future postings from you.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on July 16, 2009, 02:55:55 AM: Thank You, comments like this force me to paint some more... The truth is that i've painted maybe 20 minis in my life, maybe more, but every time after finishing i was washing down all the paint, becouse i thought it was ugly painted. Now even if i'm not happy in what i have done, i just paint another one, becouse even poor painted mini looks 100 times better on the battlefield than te unpainted one...

Here comes closer look on Chronomancer:

And i still got problems with doing fine bases :(
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: luckyone on July 16, 2009, 05:37:41 AM: Very, very good work!

Great blending of colors!
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on July 16, 2009, 05:55:40 AM: :) thx, i need to take the same pictures in daylight, becouse the colors are better in real (i hope... ;))
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on December 08, 2009, 07:35:44 AM: pour quality, but still better than no picture at all. This is my FIRST miniature, bought 14 years ago(as present from my dad), painted for Chariot Building Competition (but I couldn’t finish it on time). Enjoy:

Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: luckyone on December 08, 2009, 10:02:17 AM: Please see thread "Off to the races II" Looks like it could be included in that competition IMHO. Follow the rules and post pictures in the thread.

Post by: dave kufner on December 08, 2009, 02:18:20 PM: WOW! Awesome paint job and construction. I especially like the chariot wheel impression in the grass.

Post by: Wrathraven on December 10, 2009, 01:30:09 AM: Thank You all, maybe someone have any idea of making the basement more interesting?
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Von Koss on December 10, 2009, 04:05:01 AM: I think the base is great and helps the model stand out. In my opinion, your model looks too good to have the base "steal" any attention from it. Great job on the painting by the way.

Post by: warzoneD on December 10, 2009, 01:11:37 PM: Well done - good looking work.

Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Manic _Miner on November 22, 2010, 05:47:36 AM: Very nice.I like the different colours used.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on November 22, 2010, 06:35:10 AM: Just to mention the photos were made in bad conditions and are little different to real... But there is no problem to repaint it. I'm open to any color schemes. What do You propose?
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: joshuaslater on November 22, 2010, 08:21:24 AM: I like it as is!!
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on November 22, 2010, 09:58:42 AM: I will try to finish it, maybe this weekend, i will try to darken the colors used, do some basing... Next in a row: Swamp Fiend... ;) Please be patient.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Delthos on November 22, 2010, 11:13:00 AM: Looks good. My only suggestion is either adjust your white balance on your camera, or do some post processing to reduce the yellow in your pictures. The fourth one is good, but the first three look totally different.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Daargrim on November 22, 2010, 11:59:20 AM: This looks excellent!!! great job!!!

Did you build this yourself? if not, what model is this??
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on November 22, 2010, 01:25:56 PM: THX, the white balance is really crap, but the picture was made by phone... I promise to make some better ones.
And yes, i made it all by myself:

How it was before:

Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: MassDistortion on November 22, 2010, 03:59:11 PM: You've done a great job with that! I love the shading and colours. It definitely is a huge leap ahead of how it was painted beforehand.

Do you have any other paint jobs to share? :D
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on November 23, 2010, 12:28:58 AM: Well, it was made from a kind of a plasticine that hardens when boiled in water, it's not a good material, but cheap. Unfourtunately I cannot afford for that much of green stuff, so I made only the teeth. That's why it was so colorful, just a material for kids... ;)
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Manic _Miner on November 23, 2010, 12:45:10 AM: A great peice and done really well.

The Fimo stuff might have been usefull.Not sure of the price for it though.

Like the Troll conversion too.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on November 23, 2010, 01:01:58 AM: Thanks, the Troll must be finally finished, i suppose I just spend some time to just assemble it and paint it a little bit. These minis deserve to be finished at last ;-)
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: luckyone on November 23, 2010, 09:12:20 AM: Very well done. Thanks for sharing here.
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Von Koss on November 27, 2010, 12:01:47 PM: Now that is pretty good. My vote is to keep the paint scheme as is.

Nice job!
Title: Re: Wrathraven's Armies
Post by: Wrathraven on December 07, 2010, 07:52:59 AM: I couldn't paint minis because i had no paints in my little flat, but I've managed to start sculpting another mini:
