Von Schill Avatar

This is my Von Schill avatar, for Shifting Loyalties campaigns. I prefer this sculpt on the 50mm avatar base because of his extended limbs. It is from the 2e Hired Guns crew box.

Painted the same as the Freikorpsmann and my regular 1e Von Schill. Only addition is the pile of gold at his feet. That was painted with Rhulic Gold, drybrushed with Shining Gold. Then after the wash it was again drybrushed with Shining Gold. In hindsight I should have gotten the pile bigger.

Von Schill

Von Schill is a melee and ranged combat hero that can buff up nearby models. He can also leap away from engagements with no problem. This is the 1e metal version as I have plans for the 2e plastic one. Plus this version is much easier to transport.

Painted and based the same as the Freikorpsmann. The sash is painted Skorne Red with Khador Red Base drybrush. The hair is Thamar Black with Cryx Bane Base drybrush and Cryx Bane Highlight as light drybrush. My spouse thinks he looks very Klingon-like. Not that far off with how he plays except more crafty.



Steam Trunk

The Steam Trunk is the totem for Von Schill, the leader of the Freikorps. It is a buffing model that helps other models but has little to help itself, so protect it well. It is in the Hired Guns crew box.

 Painted the same as the Freikorpsmann with the addition of Molten Bronze trim and various browns for the trunk itself.

Hannah

Hannah is a Freikorps librarian extraordinaire. In fact as the head librarian, she can for a zero action copy a nearby models ca ability. Also has decent melee and denial abilities. Also as a henchman, she can lead crews. In addition, as a mercenary, the model is handy for other faction crews that have lots of casting abilities that you would like duplicated.

 Painted and based the same as the Freikorpsmann. Hair was painted Thamar Black with Coal Black drybrush. The Nether Flux, where the head of the suit is, was painted with Murdurous Magenta, drybrushed with Carnel Pink, and spotted with Menoth White Highlight. Molten Bronze was used on the nuts and bolts. Tome was painted with various browns. Bookmark is Skorne Red with Khador Red Base drybrush.

Freikorps Librarian

The Freikorps Librarian is a good healer that has a useful toolbox to take care of defenders that are incorporeal or who have defensive triggers. The 1e metal one is on the left and both were obtained in the respective editions Hired Guns sets.

They were painted and based the same way as my Freikorpsmann. The sash was painted Skorne Red with Khador Red Base drybrushed on.The book was painted with various browns and the pages Menoth White Highlight.

Freikorps Trapper

The Freikorps Trapper is an excellent ranged mode, that is cheap and is a mercenary. It can be found in the Hired Guns crew box. I also got one in the 1e Von Schill box.

 I used the same paint scheme as my Freikorpsmann.

Freikorps Specialist

The Freikorps Specialist has a flamethrower that can force horror duels or get rid of scheme markers. Good in a knife fight too. Comes in the Hired Guns crew box. Plus they are mercenary so anyone can hire them.

 I painted them the same as my Freikorpsmann. I have two of them because I also got the 1e metal box set as well.

Freikorps Strongarm

The Freikorps Strongarm is a nasty and fast melee and ranged model. It also is a mercenary, so can be hired by non-outcast crews for one extra soulstone.

 It is painted and based the same as my Freikorpsmen. Only addition was the Molteen Bronze parts, and the Skorne Red and Necrotite Green wires.

Freikorpsmann

I finished the six Freikorpsmann (Friekorpsmen?) that I have. They are from the old 1e metal and 2e plastic crew boxes, plus a 1e metal blister. They can also be gotten in the 2e standalone Friekorpsmann pack of two. They are mercenaries, so can be hired by any faction. They are good at long and close range plus immune to pulses and blasts and has armor, so they are quite durable.

All the models were primed black. The cloth part of the suit was painted Coal Black, drybrushed Underbelly Blue and lightly drybrushed with Underbelly Blue mixed with Menoth White Highlight.

 (The above is are the 2e plastic Freikorpsmann)

The main leather parts were painted Unbral Umber, drybrushed with Bloodstone, and lightly drybrushed with Bloodstone mixed with Menoth White Highlight.

 The metal parts were painted with Pig Iron and drybrushed or highlighter with Quicksilver. The backpack was painted with Gnals Green and drybrushed with Ordic Olive. The bedroll was painted with Bootstrap Leather and drybrushed with Rucksack Tan.

 The skin was painted with Khardic Flesh, drybrushed with Midlund Flesh and lightly drybrushed with Ryn Flesh. One of the 2e platic models I instead used Iridian Flesh, drybrushed with Khardic Flesh, and lightly drybrushed with Midlund Flesh. Von Schill is an equal opportunity employer.

 The lenses were painted with Meridius Blue. The straps were painted with Beast Hide. The pistol butt was painted with Bootstrap Leather.

The bases were made with the Victoriana Basius 2 plate and painted with dollarstore black. The bricks were painted with Skorne Red, drybrushed with Khador Red Base and lightly drybrushed with a mix of Khador Red Base and Menoth White Highlight. The stone/gravel/debris was painted with Cryx Bane Base, drybrushed with Cryx Bane Highlight and lightly drybrushed with Trollblood Highlight. Then the base and model was washed with Agrax Earthshade.

Convict Gunslinger - The Male One

I have painted a convict gunslinger before but it was the alternative Miss Demeanor. Now I've finished with another metal sculpt from the first edition of the game. The new ones are very wel sculted plastic, here.

 But I didn't paint him entirely. I purchased this model from a fellow and added a few paints. Here is the original front.

 And back.

 I first painted his hair with Thamar black, then drybrushed with Khador Red Base and lightly drybrushed with Khador Red Highlight. His skin I Drybrushed with Midlund Flesh and lightly drybrushed with Ryn Flesh. I touched up the bandolier and scars with Khador Red Base. The leather gloves and boots I drybrushed with Rucksack Tan. The bullet bases I painted with Molten Bronze. The metal parts I drybrushed with Quicksilver. The skull kneepads I drybrushed with Shining Gold. The pants were drybrushed with Ordic Olive and drybrushed with Ordic Olive and Menoth White Highlight. Finally the model was washed with Agrax Earthshade.

Here is the back of the model after my added paints.

Basius 3

This kickstarter for Basius 3 - Texturis is a continuation of the Basius concept, from Wargames Bakery, providing plates so people can make textured bases. In this case it is smaller plates that are more affordable.

I ordered eight of them to fill the gaps of what I received during the Basius 2 kickstarter.

The three above, from upper right counter clockwise, are the Dojo, Devestated Dojo, and Immaculate Lawn. Why an Immaculate Lawn? Guildball! Also usable for any grassy sports basing actually.

I am going to enjoy trying these out!
