Leonard "Lenny" the Henchman

Recently I have painted another Dunkeldorf Miniatures character. This time a henchman Leonard aka Lenny. The resemblance to the rock legend Lemmy from Motorhead is obvious, hence the name Lenny I guess. I think it's a cool tribute to the man. :)

As always, it was a joy to paint one of their minis. Really crisp sculpt with just the right amount of details.

Lenny always liked to hang out with Helmut, but recently he is thinking about finding a new drinking buddy. Helmut gets hammered way to easily these days. :D

Cheers guys!🍻

Expanding the Todtstein Zombie Horde

Lately I've been adding more zombies to the Todstein Zombie Horde. I'm trying out different companies, converting models and adding some oldhammer Games Workshop Zombie models from the early 90's. When I ordered Mournful Knights from the Gamezone Miniatures I received one female zombie model cast in resin as a sample. I think the model is awesome - really gruesome and will add to variety of my zombie troops.

This cool zombie which looks like an undead Empire captain I received from Heresy Lab Miniatures. The model by itself looks great. However it does not fit well with the rest of my unit. The head is way smaller then on the rest of my zombies. Also the model is a bit taller.

I really wanted to add a model from Dunkeldorf Miniatures range to my Undead horde and the best way to do so was to convert one. I converted their Old Tully mini. I swapped his face and arms with those from the old GW zombie kit. I also twisted his legs a bit to get that zombie walk. I call him Willem Deadfoe because the resemblance is great IMO. :D

I did another custom zombie by converting the Reikland Captain from Mordheim warband. I cut of his legs and replaced them with those from the old GW plastic kit. I also swapped his face.

Another simple conversion I did is based on the Mordheim Town Cryer miniature. The only thing I did here was replacing his had with the zombie one.

Finally I added some of the oldhammer zombies from the early 90's. They are a bit smaller but still fit very well with the rest of the unit. I love the Evil Dead vibes on them. :D

Next, I will be adding some zombies from the Forgotten Realms range. Really looking forward to it.

Drunkard

It's always a pleasure to paint one of the characters from Dunkeldorf range. I had lots of fun painting this drunkard. The moment I saw the mini I knew what I wanted to do with it. The short story is, his wife was bitten and taken away by a vampire. Since then he is drinking himself to death and is nothing but the ruin of a man.

The part that I was most excited about doing is the puke running down his belly. For this I used Woodland Scenics Fine Turf mixed with water and PVA glue to give it some texture. I think it turned out pretty well (disgusting) :D. Also I wanted his clothes and feet to be very dirty and his skin full of scabs and lesions from falling down and lack of hygiene. Scenery is from Tabletop World.

Franz the Mutant

Recently I have painted this awesome character from Dunkeldorf Miniatures. I really enjoyed painting this guy. The mini has that Lovecraftian feel to it, at least in my opinion. From the moment I saw him, it reminded me of characters in one of my favorite Lovecraft novels - The Shadow Over Innsmouth and the movie Dagon which is based on this story. I wanted to paint the mini and set it in the scene which has that certain cold and damp atmosphere. I envisioned a "fishman", a man who started to mutate into a sea creature and is constantly trying to find places to hide from the eyes of the common people. I enjoyed the process and I am happy with the result. This is the third mini I have painted from Dunkeldorf Miniatures and I can highly recommend them. Especially if you are looking for characters that are not so common - anything from the rat catcher to the hat maker. The terrain pieces in the scene are Tabletop World Stable and Outhouse models.
