Cadwallon Gladiator

Another design by Yannick Fusier, based on a concept signed by Gary Chalk, and sold by Temple of the West. Mixed feelings about the final result, as often. I still don't see how I could have made the face more "readable".



 The next posts should be on Keltois miniatures.


The ducal guards

Two miniatures from Temple of the West, both designed by Denis Gonella, based on Gary Chalk's concepts.


The models are quite easy to paint, except the halberds maybe. 









I should paint their colleague as soon as I receive the model.

Chastel the Devious and Kelaz the Brutal

After 10 years dedicated to the painting of Warhammer armies with old Citadel modes, I have decided to have a break, and paint some miniatures released by Temple of the West, based on the Confrontation universe. The two models painted here have been sculpted by Yannick Fusier, designer of some iconic miniatures for Rackham (his dwarves 😍). 


Chastel the Devious is not his best work, but I wanted to paint the couple, as illustrated by Gary Chalk.

I have slightly modified the model of Chastel, by removing the club glued in the back of his coat, and replacing it by a piece of brass wire.




 

Kelaz the Brutal is more rewarding to paint, but I have to admit that the final result is below my expectations. Blame the years spent painting small Citadel dwarves 😋
