Last War squads and personalities

 I finally painted these renegade Miniatures late war germans. I bought these Kevin Adams sculpts years ago.
Renegade suspended business a decade ago which is a big shame as Kev Adams did hundreds of historicals for them.

I also painted these Copplestone Turks.

The other five already go butchered some time ago as I bought them to convert them into German Freikorps, with press moulded pputty helmets. it didn't quite work out as I wished and the project got abandoned. The other day there was a discussion on LAF about the Dutch in a Weird War timeline, getting sucked into the war as the Doggerland raises from the sea. Effectively expanding the country's territory and the border with Germany.
I decided to go for it using germans with added breast pockets and French Adrian helmets. I found the old turks in a box and remembered Copplestone also did Chinese with adrian helmets so I'll get me a nice birthday gift.

Last weekend I painted this German armoured car driver with a Frostgrave bull terrier. His armour reminded me of german trench armour so it's perfect.

The lady of Ypres

 I made a new, trench themed, photo backdrop.
The first test picture I did with this old GW banshee that I painted some years ago. The Lady of Ypres, a terrifying manifestation of the anger and despair and tens of thousands of dead soldiers on the Belgian front.

Contrast paint, Vallejo pale grey wash and white highligts.

I finished painting this Crimean War russian officer. Swapped heads with a plastic Oathmark elf head.

A revenant. An undead or half-dead type. He could even be a vampire but I don't think so.

I newly painted these mole men. 

With their weird snout they are actually star-nosed moles. "[...] a small semiaquatic mole found in moist, low elevation areas in the northern parts of North America." So it really doesn't make any sense at all to find these in the trenches of the Western Front. Unless your name is Jeff Bezos.

Clearly the picture must be from after April 1917.

Here a picture of the backdrop

Daddy Long Legs

Daddy Long Legs.

An old walker from the great war, from Graven Images. I got this one from the late Jim Bowen himself, in 2008. Before smartphones and Facebook when we only had forums and yahoo-groups.

Never officially released and only 8 sets were ever cast.
It was part of the Weird War II Götterdammerung setting.

Sculpted by Mark Fuller I think, who did all the amazing Great War vehicles for 1st Corps miniatures.
