Bolt Action: Andy Singleton's Charlemagne SS

I played a great game of Bolt Action with Andy Singleton recently. I will be putting up a batrep when I get the chance.

In the meanwhile, Andy is a professional painter and his work has been featured on the Warlord site. This is his SS officer from the Stormbattalion Charlemagne, troopers below.

It is an astonishing figure that really captures the subject, Berlin 1945.

Andy is a professional painter and this is in an example of his work to 'Collector's standard'. He also takes cheaper commissions for painting to a 'Wargaming standard'. You can contact him via Facebook.

Have a butcher's at this!

Painted by James Wappel.

We are not worthy, master.

I feel like breaking my paint brush over my knee and taking up bowls.

Andy Isherwood

While on a tour of Warlord Games Towers, I was introduced to this gentleman, Andy Isherwood, who is their professional painter.

You cancan get a quote for his services for private commissions by emailing: paintedmini[at]gmail.com.

Note I have removed the @ and replaced it with [at] to stop him being spammed to email hell by the dreaded pron bots.

Ana - the art of blue-green

One of my favourite miniature painters ever is Ana whose work is displayed on Chest of Colours. She has the most exquisite sense of colour and works in a blue-green palette better than anyone else that I can think of. Look at the subtlety with which she has blended shades of sea green and highlighted them with splashes of subdued contrasting colours. I wish I was one tenth as good.

More Sphere Wars

I have no clue about the Sphere Wars game so cannot comment on whether it is any good but The models are great. These were painted by Nomad.

I also could not resist showing some of his work on Soda Pop Models.

Sphere Wars

While mooching around waiting for my wife to get ready, I came across some rather good miniatures on Chest of Colours from a Spanish company called Sphere Wars. These examples look 'fishy' but others look like Lovecraft monsters. They have a website:

but it seems to be mostly offline.

Nice figs though.

Victorian Horror

I came across this wonderful new miniature for the SMOG game, painted by Ángel Giráldez, who is extremely good.

The original is here:

I love the SMOG models but they are a non-standard (large) size and I can't face making new terrain so I will have to pass.

Great models though.
