Connexion's teams and miscellaneous miniature painting

[connexion]

very nice job! quick question... from what I have seen, it looks like those minis come with molded metal bases. I assume you removed those bases and not that the minis themselves have changed... was it hard to remove them? I have actually considered picking up this team for comic relief in some of our games.

Thanks! Some came with molded bases and others with flimsy tabs. The molded ones weren't too hard to remove, no - some careful cutting, pinning and filling and they were good to go. Lovely team (and cheap too!)...

I had not been here for a while so you keep the Corum and present me the Elric of Melibone? LOL

I am 45 this april and it would be a great present!

Nice try...

If I had the free time (which I don't, sorry) I might offer to paint you one if you found one on the Oldhammer Trading Company or on eBay. :-/

Do you have a picture of it next to some BB models for scale? I'm curious if it would look good with the GW Undead team to make a Necromantic roster. Also thinking about using Otherworld's Weretiger for the other were"wolf"

[TheAzman]

I second the request for pics next to some BB models for scale. This model looks awesome!

I'm traveling at the moment but can post a couple of pics next week. However, they are smaller than the Heresy werewolves I use in my Necro/Undead team (see a few pages back).

Also, if this helps for scale, he's mounted on a 30mm base.

I also have the weretiger and iirc he also scales up pretty well. Awesome model too.
