I realized that I hadn't posted the final two Hell Dorado warbands that I painted last year for the hobby articles for Cipher Studios. Well, here they are. First (above) are the Immortals. This Chinese-inspired faction has been in Hell for quite some time, and the foot soldiers sport a few tainted/mutated body parts. Very fine and delicate miniatures, these ones.
The final war band I worked on was a little larger, primarily because it doesn't have a starter box, so I had to pick out the models based on what I liked - I liked a lot of them. These are the Mercenaries. I have enough of them to play a decent sized game of Hell Dorado, and I can also ally them with my Westerners (or any other faction, really).
The Officers here are Andre de Montbard and Marcus Leblanc. Both have a fantastic Templar look.
These are the Troops for the force: two Deserters on the left and two Templar Squires on the right.
And finally the Independents: Thirty Coins (the blind sniper), the Russian Trapper, and one of my favorite models in the range - Angelo Casaviecchi (a lemure trapper/trader).
Such wonderful character in all of these models, and a joy to paint.
Fantastic job on these! Love all of them, but especially the mercs there! Argh.. more things to put on the list!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. They are certainly worth the price of admission.
DeleteLove those mercenaries Dave, great stuff. Looking forward to getting my health back to sling some paint of mine own. Shawn
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get to them soon Shawn!
DeleteBeautifully done, man! Really dig how those turned out.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate : )
DeleteThe officers are so well done it is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg, they're a lot of fun : )
DeleteGreat work on these. I've always loved Hell Dorado (I actually got to write some fiction for the expansion rulebook), and I wish the game had gotten a proper reboot under Cipher's control - too bad they just weren't in a good position to really push the game to where it should have been taken here in the the States.
ReplyDeleteThanks Odie. I think there's still room and opportunity for them to grow it a bit more.
