Citizen CZ20

I've started this model during my last holidays, when I ran out of bergjaegers to paint. This is a Marauder MM62 model, referenced as CZ20. Like most of the miniatures from this range, the proportions are slightly odd, and I assume that Trish Morrison is their designer.

I've spent some time on the drum, trying to find a proper design: cross, sun, stains, nothing worked until I remembered Pandera's comment saying that my painting style lacked "oldhammerness". I've then tried the good old red & grinning face... and it worked: sad face for the beaten side, and smiling face for the rear one :)


I don't know yet which unit this musician will join. We'll see.

  1. Beautifully done! The face on the drum skin really completes the miniature.

  2. Entièrement d'accord, les visages et les couleurs des visages sur les tambours finissent la figurine à merveille.

  3. Your painting style might be different from other Oldhammerers, but you shouldn't think that's a bad thing. Your minis look fantastic, and the muted tones make them look like they stepped right out of a Renaissance-era oil painting. That being said, the face on the drum is a nice touch!

    1. Thanks. I don't think Pandera made a negative comment. Thanks to him, I've painted something I had never done before.
